I Need A Bust Sculpter

[taffjones]

Hi all, Im looking at getting a gift for my best mate. His grandfathers cousin was a VC winner during world war two and he has been looking at loads online, so I want to surprise him and get one made for him. The following link is regarding the man in question. http://www.lancs-fusiliers.co.uk/feature/jefferson/Frankjeffersonvc.htm . I'm aiming to get this exact pose in the picture because I think its brilliant. I know Moz Corry does one just like it but I really want this one to be the real thing.

Cheers

Jonesy

Hi Taff,
Maybe Planet member Fex, the sculptor for Mitches mIlitary Models can just do a new head in the likeness of Jefferson and use the Corry torso? He did some awesome WW1 pilots.
Wont do any harm asking him.

Yea thats true whats mate, However I'm not too keen on just chopping and changing the head, I really wanted this one to be special and unique

This may sound silly Jonesy but why not send Moz a text and see if he will change the head to fit Mr Jefferson? Tell him what you want and see what he says as he has a PIAT gunner just needs altering,
Read his history, quite a hero indeed.

Yea his later life was very sad however, his VC was stolen.

Cheers Nap I will see what he can do, but obviously I'm not made of money so the contract will probably go to the cheapest bloke sadly.

Hi Taff,
A great gesture on your part, sad though his V.C. was stolen, I will moderate it to that. I echo Gells post you could use this and have the head sculpted.
cheers
