[@florencelavorelsimon7930]

Nick Elphick is a genius and I'm so glad Drew admires him !

[@markduckmanton4227]

This guy is amazing, I had some classical sculpture lessons and was definitely rubbish at it.
His level of talent is astounding.

[@nickjones0803]

Nick should have his own show

[@MaximilianonMars]

Yeah, each episode they bring him a disaster and he shows us in detail how to repair it. I love his work

[@humbleguy4726]

The artistry and passion of this guy just blows my mind, yes genius can be applied to this masters skill.

[@coreyfrady5764]

That's interesting because Achilles looks like the guy making the sculpture?

[@MDeLorien]

Nick is a mind blowing artist, but also he looks like and is build like Michelangelo's David 😊

[@suescraftstuff]

Absolutely Mindblowingly talented. Nick! you are a genius ! and I love that you love your work and put so much love and energy into it.

[@leegardiner1894]

Nick has a raw talent that is so rare. His work is utterly stunning. Mind blowing. Just so awesome.

[@terrancemiller8350]

NICK, you put the A in amazing, it's one thing to be a great artist be to recreate another artist's work so precisely you've got talent. Keep up the fenominal work.

[@EdwardSimplex]

Amazing artist! Congratulations 👏🏻

[@MeatMachine69]

The guy doing the restoration actually kind of looks like the plaster bust.

[@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131]

Not sure he has a "hat" like that though.... 😁

[@larrymaxwell5535]

Absolutely extraordinary how professional these artists are! They are truly men of a different type of Valor! Facing danger of failing yet overcoming those fears ending with excellent and extraordinary portraits of which separates these men from all others!

[@monkeydluffy6649]

He absolutely genus and brilliant

[@user-rv3ng2ju4s]

Работа проведена великолепная. Совершенно чудо. Настоящий мастер. Браво. 👍👍👍

[@shonamcwilliam2842]

Genius!!

[@thechanneloffun3760]

Nick should have his own series, he’s amazing and cool

[@t.thomasshaw462]

Nick is so good at restorations he is priceless as a resource . Great great work

[@princess_styles]

I’m a 17 year old girl who really feels like an old soul sometimes. I myself sculpt, from clay which i make myself from the soil in my back yard. I take so much inspiration in my pieces from ancient Egyptian, Greek, Italian and roman statues. I really feel connected to that era from which i am inspired from. It’s so thrilling that someday, maybe, someone may find my piece of work and choose to restore it in a century. It blows my mind.

[@raelabuschagne9934]

Wonderful. Nick, you are so creative and talented.

[@davidsnyder2000]

The brave a fierce Achilles himself no less. I am a true admirer of Achilles. What a warrior. And moreover, what beautiful work this young sculpture has done. He has a lot of talent….a lot!👍

[@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131]

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌞
I wish we could watch the whole resculpting process, as there's so much to learn....😘

[@leighmartin5293]

Wonderful job Nick. 👍😊💕

[@angieashton3443]

nick is very good in what he dose love this guy love his work he should have his own show

[@marcinagy6468]

07:32 - did Nicke make a statue of himself?

[@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131]

He did. If you look carefully, you'll see it in the background while he's working. It's a full figure miniature, with arms outstreched.

[@highspeedgaz]

He's got the looks and body of a Greek God ,

[@robertguerrero8009]

Wow, words are hard to come by except to say well done Sir Nick, another masterpiece mate, cheers..

[@johnpartridge7623]

Nick is a quality restorer also a very humble Man 👍

[@ljclo8413]

Love Nick's work!

[@roymak881]

I love every single Nick Video

[@frankronald5761]

I have so much respect for Nick. What a great video. This is what humans can do. Good on yer!

[@jasoncoffell9612]

Woody Harrelson could play this guy if there was ever a movie about him

[@MaximilianonMars]

Yeah! Or the other way around too.

[@lolicazorla785]

You are too much good!

[@haegarvonelz2451]

♥️👍

[@johnleeson6140]

Nick works great under pressure

[@kyleanuar9090]

Reason the new add-ons falls off is dry surface, try wetting slightly before adding. This from an old timer.

[@user-ms2es3lp6n]

Браво! Уши надо было помыть скульптуре тоже

[@manifesteraddams8068]

I will bet my bottom dollar that the body at 00:48 is Eugene Sandow

[@tylerd6110]

i think no need the original piece,,Nick can do it from ground zero:)

[@MrACOUSTICPETE]

Nick is an amazing artist but I sometimes wonder if he and some of the other restorers featured are getting a fair " crack of the ship " financially ?
Often they seem to put many ,many hours of super skilled work into the restoration . I do hope they are being suitably rewarded and not being taken advantage of but I have my doubts !!

[@joyjoJ4ever]

Owen Wilson lookalike

[@reginaromsey]

If Drew was offered this bust restored bust by someone else he would turn away because the piece has been “messed with” no matter how well the restoration was done.

[@rogerdavies6226]

Just 60 hours???? really?

[@catcmeow408]

looks more like Mars or Athena/Minerva.

[@rogueplanet13]

Good to see logan paul again

[@alecblunden8615]

Artemis was a female goddess, Achilles a male hero.

[@marniethethief2574]

but after all, it is a plaster cast of the original...

[@marniethethief2574]

Good job, but properly speaking this is not restoration.
