Lifesize Chris Reeve Superman head sculpt arrives!

[cking]

Hi everyone,

I'm thrilled to be able to show you my latest commissioned project. It's a lifesize Chris Reeve as Superman head sculpt. I finally decided to go for it again after my previous waxwork project a few years back.
This is just an unpainted casting that I received today but it's the first time I actually got to see the sculpt in person. I was really amazed that the sculptor has managed to capture the likeness from all angles.

I would like to express my public thanks to the EXTREMELY talented sculptor who has created this amazing bust. He's a relatively new board member, but his skill is without question.
Nikolas is from Athens, Greece and his forum name is "Rockas78". You may remember his lifesize Mark Hamill Silicone head sculpt from a few months ago. That sculpture was what caught my attention because I was amazed at the quality of the likeness that he achieved on the bald headed clay sculpt. I knew that he was the right man for the job and his devotion to this project and quest for perfection has really paid off. It's a stunning piece of work and I'm very grateful to him for accepting the commission.

Cheers,

Chris

That raw casting almost looks like marble (a la Roman Busts)... Yeesh, someone put that thing in a museum where it belongs. I can only imagine how great it'll look once completed. :thumbsup

 

[TridCloudwalker]

Sweet *****, that's beautiful. How does one go about getting a cast of this, and how much does it run?? This is honestly the best sculpted bust I've seen of anyone.
