    This will be the December bust by "Young"...:

    Scale: 1:10
    Resin
    Sculptor: Young B. Soong

    [IMG]

    Clear case! This is Sean Connery as General Major Robert Urquhart in "A Bridge too far", (1977)!

    Excellent likeness. Just too bad it is Connery and not Urquhart.

    Absolutely Adrian..the Sean Connery image is masterfully captured...probably the best out there, but there is a photo of Urquhart in like pose with binoculars...the real guy looked much more ordinary..slightly porky and past his physical prime ..but one heck of a leader. Shows reality vs movies...there is more story from a depiction of the real guy, but probably wouldn’t sell as readily.

    That’s the photo I saw...for my taste, the sculpt is Sean Connery...and well done...this is Urquhart, and loaded with more meaning...thank you Steve..

    For me, Sean Connery is the only Urquhart I've known for the past 40 years.

    I can understand the comments about how the actual man himself would be a more meaningful subject, rather than the actor who portrayed him in the movie, but at a commercial and practical level Connery is likely to sell many more Busts than Urquhart himself. I don't blame Young for choosing the Connery version, I think it's a smart commercial decision.

    Hi Guys

    A great looking sculpt for sure but agree with the choice being a commercial consideration ....Urguhart woukd have more interest to me and so much a tribute to a brave man .

    Sure it will do well ..be good to see the box art as well

    Nap, I think there would be A series of movie stars in their notable depictions in this. So, it’s less Fury, more Brad Pitt playing..and so on..although he wasn’t doing an actual person. One could c ertainly collect a few Sean Connery busts and have a nice display..Black Army has one and there must be others
