Hi everyone!

I put this in my gallery now, and I thought I should post it here aswell It's a bust of the Swedish king Gustavus Adolphus in 1/9 scale that I sculpted and casted in 2001. Some of you maybe saw it in that years Euro Militaire.

Best Regards

Andreas, That's a great likeness of Gustavus. Do you have others?~Gary

That's a great likeness Andreas! Fine work. The eyes and the nose are particularly well done. What an unusually shaped head Adolphus had! That jaw line juts out so far in front of the rest of the face.

All the best,
Dan
