Tazio Nuvolari figure in 1:43 scale

I'd say it is closer to Lole...
narrower but longer nose would help.
Also yes narrower jaws...
Ya te envio un pm!

Yes, maybe be closer to Reutemann.
You're right; I'll need o retouch the nose and apply a bit of more putty on cheeks. This help to get the correct cheekbones and jaws.
Thanks a lot for help me.
Esperaré tu pm.
Un abrazo

That said, being at 1/43rd, the simple fact that it looks human is an achievement! Cannot imagine how I'd do that!!

I've corrected some details on "pretended" Jackie Stewart head in 1:43 scale.
This is the result:



I believe that now he looks a bit more similar.
I've included a part of a rule to give a better idea of dimensions.
Kindest regards and thanks again.

Aaaaaahoraaa!!!!!

Thanks a lot, JamesB. Ufff... but is a pleasure for me to make this things.
I haven't encouraged to reform it "adding" putty and remodeling on. I've preferred to carve the zones to get the necessary changes.
I believe that still he would be able to redo the mouth, but previously I would make a mold from the head as it is now.
Thanks again.

Yes, this thing also is about "save as", as in PC work... I hope the Stewart-Mk-I will be a nice Reutemann with a bit of retouching!
I pm you tomorrow...

[Leo]

It's too late, my friend. I've modified the "Stewart Mk I" (great occurrence) without making any mold.
So EL LOLE will have to wait that another inspiring muse visit to me (lol).
We're in touch.

That's simply amazing!! To do it in 1/43 scale. I cannot ask you for tips as this level of artwork can only be achieved by pure talent. Congrats! Thanks for sharing with us your masterpiece.

Thanks a lot for your kindest words.
Anyway I'm not so good to show tips, but only I can say is I love to sculpt, specially race drivers. But the most important is to get a big patience with sculpting: something like to make and mistake (my english is very rude, excuse me).
Kindest regards and thanks you again:
