discussion John's Godfather figure sculpt

[minitnkr]

I've seen a different view of this pose. The chair was a deep, warm, chocolate brown. He had on brown tasseled loafers & his bespoke suit had no visible sleeve vents or buttons. The jacket buttons were smallish & thin, but he had other chairs, suits & shoes of course.

Thanks Paul the photo I had did not give much detail. I'll put my additions down to artistic license, but I will add tassels to his loafers.

John,
Another sculpting masterclass.

You shouldn't put yourself down mate - that is superb scratchery! Wish I were that competent ... !

This is just so clever! The pose is superb - completely at ease, and in proportion too, which I guess is no mean feat!

 

[Jim R]

You have skills I can only dream about. He looks great.

That is very impressive

Super job, John!

Gentlemen you are most kind. I like the iconic pose in this figure however the sculpting is always a disappointment when it doesn't live up to expectations. I struggled a lot with any sort of likeness and just about achieved vague ressemblance. He looks pretty good from the rear though. So here he is finished.



Thanks again
John

Beautiful sculpting John, it truly is.

I think you have undersold the model and yourself John. It may not be 100% but it isn't far off and is instantly recognisable as to what film and who it is.

I think it is a wonderful piece and is one that I would love to have on my shelf as, I suspect, would many others.

Simply outstanding John. Something I can't even dream of attempting. Don't be too hard on yourself.

Very well done.

That has come out really well, IMHO. I would think anyone who knows the movie fairly well will recognise it for what it is (which, I admit, is not me … I saw it 30 year ago or so and not since …)

I think that has absolutely captured the essence of the character John. The stare is just spot on. He may not be spot on accurate regarding his features, but the soul is there and that’s what really counts.
