"Mountain Man"
250mm - 6 resin parts
Sculpted by Yury Serebryakov

Late last week I received this bust from Yury Serebryakov. An amazing 250mm bust of an American Mountain Man. This bust was released earlier this year and I was pleased to be sent a copy. Cast in 6 resin parts and well packaged as you will see.

Arriving in a well padded, sturdy white box with all the parts sealed inside 3 zip-lok bags. Layers of foam lined the box and lid to ensure against breakage during shipping. The bottom photograph above shows all the parts removed for inspection.

Above you see various views of the main part of the kit, the torso and head.

Above you see the hat dry-fitted onto the head for a perfect fit.

Above you see the front and back of the separate cast feathers. Some casting blocks will need to be removed.

Looks great, full of character. 250mm is a bit big for me though..

This is so far away from my area of interest but something keeps telling me to buy it. I think this sculpt is too good to pass up.
