Figure Head for AL HMS Surprise

[BLACK VIKING]

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.

The only possibility I can think of is a custom carving or sculpture. This might be an expensive proposition, though!

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
