Definitive christoipher Reeve Superman bust 1:1

I have to agree with everyone else, FANTASTIC work :) I showed it to my brother and he said "that's so good, it's creepy!" lol
 
Dear Sebastian,
This is truly breath taking, my stetson is off to you Sir. Your amazing gift to sculpt his likeness from nothing is just mind blowing. It bring's me to tear up as i met him on the set of Superman 3 in downtown Calgary, Alberta. Canada. I can actually say i saw Superman fly.

I ended up right behind the Cameraman as they thought i was a gofer for the crew. It was the scene where a car crashes on a fire hydrant and a man can't get out.
Chris/Superman was flown in from behind a building at the end of the block. He had such amazing muscle control as he landed on the car. I have several never before seen images taken by myself from behind the cameraman. I was also a extra in the crosswalk scene and watched when he was in the Bar scene drinking and then fly's away. I met him in between takes when he was done up as Clark. In the early years i was blessed to acquire one of his actual walking capes. It reminds me of this amazing experience and the man whom will forever be Superman.
I would very much like to talk with you and am so sorry for the long winded/wordie message.

Hi Michael! You are so lucky to have been there that day of filming!!

Did you meet Aaron Smolinski and his parents (the boy by the photo booth? His mother was with him in that scene, and his father was the guy with the mustache by the car). I have recently met them all in my location hunting. As you may know Aaron was the toddler Clark Kent in Superman the Movie.

I've been to all of the locations in southern Alberta from Superman and Superman III (except the ones downtown Calgary) and the chemical plant (near The Cross Iron Mills mall). I even recently took photos of the crashed ship from Superman the movie (that Aaron climbed out of).

I'd love to see the pictures you have from that day!! I'd LOVE to see photos of the cape (or maybe visit it in person one day). :)

CHeers!
