I'm surprised no one has done a Mount Rushmore version of the Supermen over the years, starting with George Reeves then maybe Brandon Routh and then the Alex Ross version and Christopher Reeve to the far left.
I am very surprised this has not been done yet. Perhaps because there is a 3/4 head life mask out there. The problem is, that is only about 3/4 life size as well do to recastings and mold shrinkage. There is a 1:1 life mask bust that the more common ones may have been cast from several generations ago that shows up on ebay from tine to time, but the seller wants something like 14,000 for it.
I would like to see a silicone or resin bust that is bald so real hair (and of course glass eyes) can be added. Possibly two separate busts, one for the early seasons for a brown and gray display and the other from the later seasons ( essentially the same, but let's face it, heavier) for a color display.
I'm compiling a list of people I want to tackle for life size busts. Plan is to cast in silicone with glass eyes and punched hair. I'll add him to my list but he's a few names down.
I'm getting all my supplies ready but have paying jobs to finish 1st. I'll post pics as soon as I start.
MY choice for the Mt. Rushmore of Supermen would be Kirk Alyn, George Reeves, Christopher Reeve and I guess Brandon Routh. The first three, though, are definite.
