Thanks guys...
Think that the eyebrow expression was a bit too much on the last one, so I got couple of hours today to play with it a bit more:

Veoma lici na Son Konerija.
Jedino mi brkovi deluju nekako lazno kao nalepljeni.

New Year passes, dedlines done, so back to sculpting

Mirror off, pushing the things around

And very roughly started the Kane's head:

Kane has some very recognizable characteristics of the face, but in his younger age those are very subtle and hard to get...struggle continues

Here is the ref image projected over face, it looks about right, but something is still very wrong (visible from previous image)

I say you have rather quickly(?) captured the likeness of the actor Michael Caine.

 

[pokrad]

Now I'm embarrassed, yes it is Caine not Kane

Can anyone help with details on that headset :

Though can't see it in your linked photo, the headband is adjustable and wider at the top, hope links work:

Great to see you're working on Caine now - they'll make a fantastic set and can't believerno one has tried them before. Not sure the likeness of Cain is quite right yet but I'm sure you can get it accurate like you did with Connery. Good luck.
Cheers

Just a thought but if you get the Caine likeness right then it wouldn't be difficult to also convert him into Steiner from The Eagle has landed...

Along with Duval and Sutherland they would make fantastic looking trio, real characters...

Oh if only I could sculpt.
Cheers

It is not there I know, but unlike great sculptors that can make likeness in only few rough strokes, I have to work it bit by bit. It is not right way I know, but the only way that "kinda works" for me
I wish I could do it like for example Antonio Argudo - that man can make likeness using only clay and shovel

Found a few more in an ebay listing, so save the images for future reference.

For wearing the headset, I read that the cloth piece held the weight, while the metal wire between the two ear pieces was placed behind the head. This insured a snug fit.
