If I may quote our friend @GrantTyler - True Story!

Also the smallest is now a little tweaked. Look for the 10 differences

How it was.


How it is now.

Brilliant! You are a rare talent!

Amazing craftsmanship Maarten, to fashion 3 figures of different sizes that essentially look the same is talent.

The last knightshead is the one of the fore mast. The original is heavy eroded but you can still see he is looking slightly up, he wears a hat and his ears are visible.

This is the outcome of mine, it is around 6,5 mm. I made him slightly older in his face by adding some additional lines.

And the three sizes. The small one will still receive some additional tweaking.

Great carving, Maarten. Very special that each one has his own expression and details.

There are two possibilities:

1. You have giant fingers
2. The head is really small

It does not matter. The head is looking fantastic

Thx Paul, guess your carving production starts soon.

Thx Daniel, exactly the same is nearly impossible, they all are slightly different like in the original.

Thx Peter, it was nice to fiddle around with the details and change the expressions.

1. You have giant fingers
2. The head is really small

It does not matter. The head is looking fantastic

The smallest is 4,8 mm, 6,5 mm and the big one 9 mm

Brilliant Maarten. Some o the carving lines are smaller than your finger print. 3D printing couldn't do better- Kudos. Cheers Grant
