BLACK VIKING Posted September 28, 2016 Share #1 Posted September 28, 2016 Hi all I need some help for a friend of mine. He is building ALs HMS Surprise and the figure head is not very good. Due to health problems he is unable to carve one for himself so just wondering if anyone knows of a replacement in 1-48 scale. Thanks for any help.

druxey Posted September 28, 2016 Share #2 Posted September 28, 2016 The only possibility I can think of is a custom carving or sculpture. This might be an expensive proposition, though! mtaylor and BLACK VIKING 2 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tadeusz43 Posted September 28, 2016 Share #3 Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) Hi, Because the sculpting is not my strong point problem of figurheads for my models I solve using commercial figurines with possible “face lifting”. It may be figures of knights and ancient warriors. I do not know what is figurehead on HMS Surprisie, the problem is if this is figure of a woman, no many this type figures are available on market. HMS Warrir - it was Roman warrior from commercial kit Golde Yacht - it was knight on horseback Tadeusz Edited September 29, 2016 by Tadeusz43 BLACK VIKING and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
