Grinning Suited Gentleman Bust

A shoulders-up portrait of a man caught mid-grin, all charm and mischief. The bust shows a fellow with a broad, slightly wicked smile that creases deep lines up each cheek, heavy expressive brows and a thick head of wavy hair swept back off the forehead. He wears an open suit jacket over a collared shirt and knotted tie, with a small breast pocket picked out on the lapel, and the whole thing sits on a rounded, gently waisted socle base. The exaggerated expression gives it real character — this is a caricature-leaning portrait rather than a stiff formal bust. It suits a mantel, a bookshelf or a desk, and makes a knowing novelty gift for anyone who appreciates a bit of theatre. Print / CNC notes • This is a fully three-dimensional bust, so a 4-axis rotary setup suits it far better than flat relief; on a printer, resin at 0.05mm captures the smile lines, hair strands and fabric folds. • Support under the chin, the nose and the jacket lapels where they overhang. • Hollow the interior and add a drain hole to save resin and reduce cupping. • The flat base is ready for gluing to a plinth or weighting for a heavier, steadier display piece.
