An incomparable miniature Donald Sutherland
In the unlikely event that there are Forum members with narcissistic tendencies, do you have the means of incorporating
their individual characteristics into period Tank commander apparel? Or, put another way, are you able to replace standard Tamiya/Heng Long/ Taigen tank crew faces (and subtler premium quality ones) with
individual tank builder physiognomies? If so, I'm sure there'd be a demand for some novelty tank commanders for Christmas and Birthday presents...
Incidentally, Ausf, if you play the bass and guitar as well as you fashion these famous countenances...you'd be a great band member to have

Thanks gentlemen, you are way too kind.
43rd, I'll have these (and others) available as busts and lone heads that can be put on any existing body.
In terms of music, I've been sculpting for a few years, but playing bass for over 30. I can't write anything original, but can imitate anything from Flea to Mingus. I guess that's my deal, I copy well...
Here's the Karl head stuck of that crappy Tamiya Wehrmacht figure:
And a comparison between the kit head and the resin Karl:
