Some of you may be aware that I'm descended from a Titanic Survivor, and that has led to the meeting of many Titanic enthusiasts. One of which asked me to do a sculpt representing young Ned Parfett, the newspaper boy who stood outside London's White Star Line office after the disaster.
It's not a complete carbon copy of the photo, but the overall pose is similar enough to meet the requirements. As a teenage lad, he is smaller than the usual 28mm adult sculpt.
I really need to work on my putty blending as it looks awful when blown up to this size in the photos. Head and hands are also a little big when compared to reality, which is a common issue with miniature figures. I'm also going to redo his left foot, as the toe shape is incorrect. There is also another paper in his lower hand that I need to add.
Then it's just a case of painting him up.
