A pretty good impression of Horace in my opinion. A prize fighter's face that's is very good

I thought Ernest Borgnine myself; jovial, smart, and has been around the block a few times. You know he's pulling the wool over your eyes, but you just can't figure out how--which could be Lee Marvin, too, and perhaps Lee Marvin's projected toughness is really what is needed, so this drawing looks okay by me, for what it's worth.

Shoot, I really would like Ernest Borgnine to be the model since he was a 10 year Navy vet and was an honorary Chief Petty Officer (according to his Internet Movie Database (IMDb.com) page) and I was a big McHale's Navy fan too, but it also says Borgnine was 5 ft 9 inches, which apparently is too short. Lee Marvin it is then; like I said, this guy looks right.

I think you're thinking of quick heal there - quick heal accelerates normal healing, and as far as we know works on everyone. Regen regrows destroyed/missing body parts, and doesn't work on everyone. A broken nose would need quick heal, not regen.

I think this really captures Horace Harkness. Excellent!

For some reason, I always pictured Sir Horace as looking more like William Sadler.

I always visualized Sir Horace as looking a little like the Sam Elliot's Command Sergeant Major (CSM) Basil Plumley character in the movie "We Were Soliders Once and Young."
