So, tomorrow Arnold will be in Zurich to receive his Golden Icon Award. The one that Stallone has already received. I was lucky enough to get tickets for the Gala and seizing the opportunity, I wanted to follow the last of Arnolds “six rules of success”, and give something back. I know it’s kind of crazy – yeah, that’s me, with capital letters… - but Arnold has fascinated me since my early teens and his achievements and work ethics have always inspired me. So I came up with the idea of creating a 1:3 size faux bronze bust from the pumping iron era and give that to him during the pre Gala show where people can ask him questions about his career. When I got his autograph in March 2013, I already felt what an incredible aura this guy has. He held a speech regarding global warming, and most people were business leaders and even Bertrand Piccard didn’t approach Arnold... So if that works out tomorrow night this will be a major “fan moment”… I hope I won’t faint like a “girly man” ;-)
Anyway, here are some pictures I did with my cellphone. I will make an update soon with better shots including the molding process, which was a pain, especially the building of the dividing wall... the casting with bronze powder was cool to look at but I guess poisonous as hell…
