    This guy is amazing, I had some classical sculpture lessons and was definitely rubbish at it.
    His level of talent is astounding.

    That's interesting because Achilles looks like the guy making the sculpture?

    Absolutely extraordinary how professional these artists are! They are truly men of a different type of Valor! Facing danger of failing yet overcoming those fears ending with excellent and extraordinary portraits of which separates these men from all others!

    The guy doing the restoration actually kind of looks like the plaster bust.

    The brave a fierce Achilles himself no less. I am a true admirer of Achilles. What a warrior. And moreover, what beautiful work this young sculpture has done. He has a lot of talent….a lot!👍

    I’m a 17 year old girl who really feels like an old soul sometimes. I myself sculpt, from clay which i make myself from the soil in my back yard. I take so much inspiration in my pieces from ancient Egyptian, Greek, Italian and roman statues. I really feel connected to that era from which i am inspired from. It’s so thrilling that someday, maybe, someone may find my piece of work and choose to restore it in a century. It blows my mind.

    07:32 - did Nicke make a statue of himself?

    • @ninaelsbethgustavsen2131
      @ninaelsbethgustavsen2131 Před 3 lety +3

      He did. If you look carefully, you'll see it in the background while he's working. It's a full figure miniature, with arms outstreched.

    Reason the new add-ons falls off is dry surface, try wetting slightly before adding. This from an old timer.

    Nick is an amazing artist but I sometimes wonder if he and some of the other restorers featured are getting a fair " crack of the ship " financially ?
    Often they seem to put many ,many hours of super skilled work into the restoration . I do hope they are being suitably rewarded and not being taken advantage of but I have my doubts !!

  • @tylerd6110

    looks more like Mars or Athena/Minerva.

  • @reginaromsey
    @reginaromsey Před 2 lety

    If Drew was offered this bust restored bust by someone else he would turn away because the piece has been “messed with” no matter how well the restoration was done.

    Artemis was a female goddess, Achilles a male hero.

  • @marniethethief2574
    @marniethethief2574 Před 3 lety

    but after all, it is a plaster cast of the original...

  • @marniethethief2574
    @marniethethief2574 Před 3 lety

    Good job, but properly speaking this is not restoration.
