Anyone ever see a Reeve life cast?

[hankey01]

Just wondering if anyone has ever come across one? Apparently a life cast WAS made for effects in the Superman films but they are hard to come by?

Anyone hear anything about these?

I don't recall who it was... but one of our RPF members has a copy of the Facecast, I'd love to get a copy of one!

As would I..but I am asking for a friend. ANyone know which member it is?

I have seen one, gotta say it really didn't look like him at all

 

[hankey01]

Fettster, can I ask where you saw it? Christopher Reeve seems to be a tough likeness to get by sculpting. I guess even he couldn't quite get his own likeness captured!

it was on the wall of the life casting room at an fx house i worked at

Any chance you could PM me a name or number?

While looking through some pics I have, I found these from an older Prop Store listing. Hope it helps you in whatever you are doing.









Here's the Prop Store listing:

Looks kinda like a Michael Myers mask.

That's because of the way the eyes are sculpted on what is a closed eyes reproduction piece.

Poor sculpting work, imo.

If the eyes were redone, then it'd likely be pretty cool.

Thanks for the info. Just looking for one for a friend.
