Hey guys! it's been a while since I shared a project with you, so here a special project I did recently...


A couple weeks ago just before Xmas, I wanted to create Vic Rattlehead costume replica ( cyber version ) from the latest album of Megadeth, Dystopia. Since, Megadeth and Unibroue released a new beer "À tout le monde ", the official beer of Megadeth...


As a fan, I started this crazy project . 2 weeks later, during the holiday, I learned that the official release of the beer would happen here in Quebec on January 26th and Dave Mustaine will be there at this private event. No tickets for sale, there was only a contest on local radio station and Facebook page to win the chance to assist at the official release.


So the fun began! I missed the contest by 6 hours because my mold was not yet set. I contacted the Unibroue brewer and they invited me as a VIP to join them at Quebec city to meet Dave Mustaine and the Unibroue crew. I can't express how excited I was.


Anyway enough typing, and here some pictures of my Work In Progress and "final result " at the event. (my costume is still not completed as I want so it's still a WIP ...didn't had the time to do the prop head and the katana)

Looks great! I can't sculpt but have been wanting to make a vic bust for years even if I have to use a plastic skull kit. This thread has made my desire stronger!
