Hutch Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Really pleased with it, looks better than it did in the photo Got a great photo with England flag above his head and bwfc logo on west stand in background Adds something to the Bok, I've felt we've never made enough of our history ....the statue really adds a sense of history to the stadium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underpants Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 It's not perfect. It could, and should have been better. But at least it's not shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Casino Posted August 24, 2013 Moderators Share Posted August 24, 2013 i heard an old bird who saw him play say 'it could have been worse, it could have been better' that is probably where i'm at these things will all be subjective anybody wanting a perfect likeness is living in a dream world and would probably have been better with a photo i like it and reckon its good will be a nice feature of my 'lucky walk round' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan.Kerr Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 (edited) I only saw it from the bus but first thoughts were his head is a bit small, but it's a good big stride he's got. I'll gladly be proved wrong as to it's accuracy . Edited August 24, 2013 by Juan.Kerr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didledee Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Looks real good, did the sculpture have Lofty's measurements from that time to go by? like to the small details like nose width, finger length (for example), etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didledee Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 (edited) Come again? Not sure how I can put it any differently tbh, erm when the maker of the statue was building it, did he have measurements of Nat's body or was it done by 'eye' From the date Nat had that ball in his hands, would the maker have had Nat's weight?height? and other body parts measurements? it's not like he had Nat in person to go by. Some are saying it's not perfect, but it would only be perfect if it was actually like a mold of Nat's actual body from that time.

Uncle Albert Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Pleased with it, much better than I was expecting it to be. It's about time we sorted out The Nat Lofthouse Stand sign out in the ground too, it looks like the Gordons Honda Stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im no sculptor but perhaps you can gauge nose and finger length from photos? Sounds a bit Pro Evo to me, I used to create players from scratch and I know from experience its a lonely man's game.

Mounts Kipper Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) Back off holiday last night, this morning took my lad straight to the statue ( he knows all about Nat and our history despite being just 8 years old) I was really really pleased its a quality job and long overdue, while we were there plenty of people were also there taking photos and paying homage, we need more of this type of tributes about our great past. I hope this is the first of many, the disaster should be remembered, as should our 4 fa cup wins, these type of memorials tributes identify our club. Also love the new badge.

I'm alway passionate about the club as I love it have done since 10 years old, but if things not right will always speak from the heart I don't know any other way it's how I was brung up.
