Excellent work, it's a pity it's on a practice plate that will probably just be thrown in a drawer. I think in the future when I do practice pieces I'm going to use those tags or key rings from GRS. They're cheap enough to throw away if it goes wrong but good enough to use if it turns out well like your practice carving.
Well done.
Well done.
I think we just witnessed the birth of a new coin carver. Excellent job!

Excellant! You have grasped the difficult concept of "low relief" sculpture immediately! Only those who have tried carving metal understand that high relief (relatively) is somewhat easier than the low relief seen on struck coins. The 3-D effect is difficult to achieve within the confines of the very subtle changes in height. You have copied this portrait with skill, now create your own design and make us all jealous!

Beautiful job. Congradulations.
I can see it's going to be a really rotten year for all of us old coin carvers. Just too much fine talent showing up here.
