Yes, I have hundreds of Disney model sheets. I got several Duck sheets from my art editor, Eddy van Schuylenburg in 1985, when I started storyboarding for Oberon, and got a few more from Gutenberghus, when I started with them in 1989. I copied a few from Freddy Milton then,too. After that, got a few copied from other Disney artists, and Disney art books. I have added to that collection from those rarer model sheets that have been posted on The Internet.
I constantly see that first Scrooge in those S-coded DuckTales classics! Goes to show you can rely on model sheets waaay too much.
I wonder who did the Blot models? The only ones who draw the Blot without his cloak besides Gottfredson are the Italians. Okay, and James Silvani.
And on a general note, I hate almost all the Mickey model sheets. They are in no small matter responsible for the cold and sterile looking Egmont comics. If only they had used sheets of Scarpa's Mickey instead... (or De Vita's, or Cavazzano's for that matter)

"Scrooge's beak is wider at this point than Don's"? This is the first I've heard of Scrooge's face being considered different from Donald's other than the sideburns and glasses.
