THE face of Egyptian boy king Tutankhamun has been revealed for the first time in 3,300 years – thanks to a sculptor who worked with the late Duke of Edinburgh.
Christian Corbet used a 3D model based on scans of the pharaoh’s skull to make what has been called one of the most realistic constructions of the ancient Egyptian ever created.

But not every artist nails their subject.
Can you guess which celebrities these less-than-lifelike statues are trying to immortalise?
1. Wimbledon champ

You cannot be serious. No, it’s not former tennis ace John McEnroe, but another Wimbledon champ, in 2013 and 2016.
2. ‘Scary Lucy’
9
This was dubbed “Scary Lucy” by locals in Celoron, New York, before it was replaced and moved up the road.
3. Mr Darcy

Oh Mr Darcy! A 12ft version of this actor in London’s Hyde Park gave us a sinking feeling.
4. Rock great

King-size statue of a rock great is at a themed cafe and souvenir shop in Jerusalem.
5. Destroyed by fire
9
Wooden creation was in a former First Lady’s home town in Slovenia, but got destroyed by fire.
6. World Cup winker
9
He was a winker at the 2006 World Cup, but this football great has a statue at Madeira airport.
7. Much-missed royal
9
This face was the most famous on the planet, but some might say the 12ft bust of a much-missed royal in Berkshire is a horribilis likeness.
8. Bad megastar
9
He had a huge hit with Bad – and so is this. Tribute to late megastar was erected at Fulham FC’s Craven Cottage ground, before being unceremoniously removed.
