I mainly used the pictures I made myself in "Andenes ", Norway and from as many magazines and books as I could find. I did not have a studio at that time so I rented space at "Vorm en decor" in Rotterdam.
To get a grip on the shape of the head I started with a 1;10 model of the head. I enlarged the model using slices of the scalemodel and started building.
