Hi Everyone.

I was having some fun with a 1:1 bust of Crowe I sculpted about 2 years ago by making him Maximus from 'Gladiator'. I just sculpted some hair on my bald bust and here he is...

Sweet. Does it come with a phone?

*ducks*




EDIT: I should clarify that the above is a Russell Crowe joke.

 

[Lord of the props]

SWEET MAN. I would love to paint one of those and make a life size statue with complete armor and helmet.

Howard, are you going to offer castings of that Gladiator head?

 

[Chewie15]

Thanks for looking...

Fantastic work as always Howard. I have always admired your work, and you continue to amaze me. PM sent for some info.

Doesn't look like R. Crowe at all to me. More like Lee Majors(aka Six Million Dollar man)

Wow. You nailed it... it was really a Lee Majors bust. Man... you sure do have a great eye, don't you? :confused

In all fairness I do not think this is my best likeness, it was done about two years ago and later this week I'll be posting my latest which looks much closer to the subject...

...but DUDE.. That's fricking rude.

Thats funny Racer X, i don't think it looks like Lee Majors at all...I think it looks like Maximus Desimus Aridius.

Awesome work again Chewie...this would really look good w/ the opening scene armor im making...


Yeah, but seriously, way to make a good impression on a powerful Vet here at RPF Racer X...good job...really...

Rude?Why? Cause I said I didn't like it? No offense meant. I just look at this piece and can't see Crowe in there, sorry.

a powerful rpf vet? since when did anyone here become 'powerful' because of how long they've been here? If he's such a powerful vet he can take care of himself and doesn't need someone else chiming in for him(which he already did). Maybe Racer X didn't have the best way about presenting his opinion, but you were just as rude to go in and blast a new member because he made a mistake. Way to show how members who've been here a while treat others. Great job.

I gotta say this. Chewie, I love your work, always have. But this is an open forum. People are allowed to state their opinions. The guy didn't say it looks like crap. He just said he didn't like it. I don't feel there was anything rude about it.

Seriously... I see about 75% of the stuff on here I think looks like doodoo, am to say it looks like doodoo? I have a tad more respect for people that work their butts off.

I also had the right to say what I said...

Guys... I've had a chat with Howard, and he assures me that this is just a show-off thread.

Please no more "I'm interested" or "I want one" posts.

Thanks.
