    Apr 20, 2011 - 1:1 scale Ian McKellen Gandalf COMPLETED! Pics Page 3 #1

    Hey friends!

    Just wanted to post a quick teaser of my newest WIP. Similar to last life-sized bust, I'm finishing him as Sir Ian first then adding the prosthetics to the bust before molding.

    Hope you all enjoy! More pics coming soon!







    Sorry the pics are fuzzy... They were taken low-res, but they give you an idea of the progress.

    Hope you all enjoy!

    The likeness is great already, immediately recognizable. I hope you have lots of progress pics coming!

    If you make a mold in between your two sculpt phases could have a magneto bust as well!



    And just because it's hilarious-

    This is turning out nice. I would love to see this cast in silicone and with the hair punched.

    hey Scott,

    Looks great!

    I'm surprised nobody has done him yet!?

    He's a great choice for a 1:1 bust...

    1. Unique look!
    2. Character from a movie that all us geeks love!
    3. Another upcoming movie to generate more interest in the bust!

    Watching with interest!

    I'll also add that the Magneto idea is a good idea too...

    The problem with many 1:1 busts is the difficulty in getting the hair just right and super realistic

    with Magneto all you'd really have to do is put that helmet on him and you're all set!

    You're off to a fine start. One can already see who the intended sculpt represents.

    I'll be following this with great interest.

    Thanks guys! Great feedback and great ideas! I have plans on definitely doing the Gray and White versions. Magneto would be cool too, but Gandalf is CLASSIC!

    I'll keep you all posted for sure! Lots of pics coming!! He's getting there!

    Hi friends!

    I just finished up the sculpt for the Ian McKellen Gandalf bust! Here are the pics... The nose is obviously Gandalf's, but rest assured that it's easy enough to do a clay press and resurrect old Ian should the need arise! LOL!

    I hope you enjoy the pics!

    That is incredible! Once finished off with prosthetics this will be a very impressive piece.

    Excellent looking bust... nice skin textures going on and looks like you have nailed the likeness. Looking forward to seeing more of this.

    That looks fantastic! The skin detail is perfect, especially the pores on the nose.

    This makes me smile! Not only is it a wonderful sculpt, but it's just so refreshing to see something that isn't Arnie, Vader, Iron Man or whatever..

    Bravo!
