1:1 Tarkin

I posted these pics in the collection thread, but thought a separate discussion would be better. The bust is silicone, made by the great Jordu Schell. I then added it to a mannequin, so it could be a proper full body 1:1 Tarkin.

Very cool! :thumbsup If it isn't a secret, how much did the Jordu Schell Tarkin sculpt cost? I heard different numbers before for his bust(s). Did he make more than one?

Most impressive and the most far away prop for me. The HP say over $10000

Wonderful! I saw one of his Tarkins (or maybe it was even this one) at Monsterpalooza a few years ago. Jordu does awesome work.

The head is amazing! Open to a little constructive criticism of the uniform? If not, skip, otherwise....

The belt plate is way too rounded. the corners should be sharper.
The color is little on the pea-green side, but this isn't a huge deal.

The code cylinders appear to be unmodified chalk holders. There are better replicas available.

Definitely open to suggestions on the uniform - I've been looking for a good one, preferably more gray. Not sure if it should be all gray, or a mix of green and gray (so hard to tell from ANH photos, looks different depending on lighting). Where's a good place to get one, and what fabric is best?

He looks more realistic than the best CGI!
