Yup, Patrick Stewart came to my house... It was a struggle but I managed to clone him and them cut him in half. A few gallons of embalming liquids, a little bit of wax and Tadaaaa! life size picard displays.
Okay- don't worry trekies - picard is not dead - but I am happy to present two lifesized picard busts, one borg and one regular. (a silicone lifesized picard is coming sometime next week - so I"ll have three picards soon... ridiculous, i know)..
anyways. the borg picard was made by a guy here named Korbanth (Randy). Many of you know him, I"m sure, and he offered this borg picard in the junkyard at one point. The sculpt is pretty damn amazing. It really does look like Picard as you can see, and Korbanth was a pleasure dealing with.
Korbanth also managed to fix up and paint my regular looking picard head. Originally it looked very very pale and the eyes were just stickers. But he dremeled out the eyes for me, gave me prosthetic real looking eyes which match Patrick stewart's real eyes.... and did an amazing paint job on Picard making him look extremely life like.
I was extremely surprised when I opened up the box in the office, with every new bust I get - you never know what you're going to get.. In this case, I was completely blown away by the amazing job that Randy did on both busts.
Setup wasn't difficult - i got a mannequin torso - cut off the head, hollowed it out a little bit, stuck a 1 and a half inch pvc pipe into the body - and stuck the head onto the pvc pipe. The torso was a little skinny so I broadened the shoulders with some foam I had lying around.. and then after the shoulders were broadened out - I realized that his boobs looked a little small so I used some foam to pad that area out as well. (those of you who collect or make these lifesized busts know just how strange it feels to cut off heads, dress up mannequins and padd out boobies.... it's kinda creeeepy.. good thing Im secure in my masculinity. haha)
Either way. .more pedestals are on the way and I'm ordering some fake eyebrows that will make regular picard even more realistic. I'm slowly getting set up for my little star trek corner which will one day feature Rel's Enterprises. Woo hoo!.
Anyways. enjoy the pics.
