First off, it looks fantastic. Great pose and really does look powerful and well done.
But considering the likeness of Sir Alf and Sit Bobby were done so well, am I the only one who thinks the face doesnt really look like Kevin Beatie?
The only reason I say it was because the other two were done so well and the standard set is so high. |  |

I thought the same but then I’ve not seen it in person yet. |  |

Yes there was a thread earlier; the face is not right. Viewed from behind the statue looks great with Sir Bob looking over him |  |

I need to see it. What I’ll say about it is I think as a statue, piece of art, representation of who Kevin really was in football terms, I think it’s wonderful.
The pose of the statue is spot on. The face? I get what people are saying. However, Kevin’s appearance during those 9 years did alter a fair bit. From the images I’ve seen, it’s almost a bit of a compromise facially, but I’m going to see it tomorrow morning so will have a better formed opinion
What I’ll say here and now is that if I saw that statue from the Churchmans, or the end of PR, for the first time I’d shout ‘Kevin Beattie!’ Loudly! And smile for all the memories. Thank you Kevin.
I think it’s great. |  | | |

Not set at the right angle for me. Should be coming down over the ball, not shying away from it.
Where will John Warks go? | | | |

Somehow the face isn’t right - it looks more like Allan Hunter to me. Such a shame because the rest of it is superb | | | |

Well done, someone has been brave enough to say what many have thought
It looks nothing like The Beat |  | | |

Nah, he’s going up in the KB fashion to head it beyond the half way line! Trust me, I saw him do it. A lot! | | | |

Is there a picture SHQ worked from to compare against.
Action face often looks bit different to the face "at rest"
Anyone who has seen a picture of their fk face, or indeed having just headed the ball knows it doesn't look right

Yes but faces change as you go up to head a ball as anyone whose done it knows. It’s moments in time. I’m not defending the artist here because I’ve not seen it in the tin. However as an image from an arty point of view, I think that statue is astonishing. It made me smile. | | | |

Shying away?
I think you've completely misread it. |  |

I agree, it looks so dominating and I love the size but alas it doesn't look like the beat which is a real real shame. | | | |

The 1970s shorts were spot on too  | |

I get where in the motion he is at but I don’t think that’s the greatest position to be caught at for eternity | | | |

And what is John Wark’s going to look like (and don’t say John Wark) - I mean the pose. |  |

Anything he bloody well likes. Greatest player of all time should be rewarded before he departs. | | | |

Hair, moustache, fist raised having banged in yet another goal. | | | |

Oh, I do. It’s him all over. Unmistakable. It’s also unique. If you see an image of Beattie celebrating his goal in the 7-0 WBA game, it’s the two fists raised. Other worthy statues capture that sort of thing.
But the old gazelle walloping the ball with his head out of the area, MacDonald, Regis, Stapleton and the rest looking up, that’s KB. | | | |

Looks more like Gordon McQueen.
It's a great statue.not sure about the likeness. |  |

| Kevin Beatie Statue Likeness on 19:43 - Dec 18 with 2448 views | Bluespeed225 |
Agree, but it’s more of a composite of Beatties. The 1974 pic from which it’s taken is spot on, Adidas wasn’t the kit then of course, and his hair was different and no sidies, but at least the rumoured bubble perm circa summer 78’ wasn’t used! It’ll work! | | | |

I have a feeling the original plans were shared and discussed (Possibly on TWTD). The feeling then was that it didn't look much like Beat but the artist assured us it would when full sized.
Perhaps Phil has a link. | | | |

Sir Bob looks like Sir Bob
Sir Alf looks like Sir Alf
The Beat does not look like the Beat | | | |
