1:1 Elvis 'The King'... WIP

[Chewie15]

Hi Everyone.

I wanted to show off a little project I've been wanting to do for some time now... mind you he's just a 'WIP' I'm actually going for the '68 Comeback Special Elvis, but I'm not so great at photoshop so I did a mock-up of the '70's doo he had going. This one is either going to be silicone or resin with a high end wig and real leather jacket... the ultimate goal is to have my own realistic '68 Elvis display

*edit* Thanks Jeff for the updated Photoshop picture

With about a dozen projects to still finish he'll be sometime to completetion...

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen a pic of Kenny without his sunglasses.

Pretty cool Howard.

ROFL.

On that note, excellent WIP pic. Keep 'em updated. There is another Elvis trooper here, who's name eludes me, who would go gah gah over this bust.

Hail to the King baby.

I would say TK-427 will be in for one for one of those for sure.

WOW Howard, thats one of the coolest bust I have seen in a long time.
Fantastic work as always, can´t understand how you do it.
Put me on the list for one of those casts, when it´s done.

I hope my dad doesn't find out about this or I'll never get back on here again due to him sitting at the computer for HOURS AND HOURS watching the progress of this thing :lol . I'll tell you, he must be Elvis's long lost relative or something since a lot of stuff (but not all the stuff) he does revolves around Elvis.

The expression of the bust reminds me of this photo....



I am a huge Elvis fan and I have wanted to put together an Elvis mannequin for ever. I have a professional jumpsuit just waiting for this project. Chewie15 when you get ready for the 68' Comeback leather outfit, let me know, I can point you in the right direction. Please put me on the list as well.

Thankyaverymuch.

Man Rod. Those threads are so kick ass. I'll keep things posted... this piece is really a personal project that I'm going to make super realistic when completed
I think your now my favorite RPFer.
Any help with wardrobes is more than appreciated.

Howard, I played a little with your fantastic Elvis bust in Photoshop and I am really
getting exited to this project.
I also found some nice Elvis costumes on ebay, rather expensive but it´s well worth it.

I used this photo

and it turned out like this with the clothing I found on ebay

 

[Chewie15]

Cool Bjorn. I don't know how you guys do it... I'm not so great with the Photoshop

I'm going to be getting the '68 leather jacket for mine
