BTTF life size Marty

[warrenhouck]

I'm excited to be starting a bttf corner. Marty is my first prop and have a few smalls on the way. Nike Air Mags and Grays Sports Almanac en route. Hopefully I can jump on the next hoverboard run in the project runs!

Very cool! Is that really life sized?

 

[warrenhouck]

Thanks! It's as close as I could get. Its 5'6 and I believe Michael J Fox is about 5'5

Nike Air Mags came today...man these are cool! I really wish the closest Ikea wasn't 5 hours away, I need some glass display cases soon for my small stuff

You made the head yourself?

No, it was a private commission. Its very detailed up close, better in person than my photos

Here is a little better picture

Looks like JFK.

Looks like JFK.

Ive heard Hugh Grant as well. May not be exact but pretty close without dropping thousands

The costume is good but there's not much likeness to Michael J Fox

 

[warrenhouck]

You guys are right. Maybe the guys critiquing the Marty sculpt can post theirs for comparison so I can see where mine went wrong?

I have to say, if not for the costume, I wouldn't be able to tell who it was supposed to be. :unsure

Hey warrenhouck
It's not a question of posting a sculpt for comparison but a question of opinion. We think this sculpt doesn't have much similarity to Michael J Fox (especially on the mouth IMO) but if you like it and you're comfortable with it go and have fun with "your Marty" :thumbsup

All I'm saying is the only other attempt at Marty I've seen is Howard S studios which is pretty spot on. But its also thousands and thousands of dollars. Sold on ebay for $8,500 to be exact. I have under $1000 on my whole statue so for the money its pretty good to me

Got the face repainted months ago but never uploaded any photos. Not a perfect likeness but the repaint helps
