My Michael Jackson Thriller Zombie Bust WIP

[RussellSculpts]

Looks fantastic! When are they going to be ready?

I started the mold tonight and will post pics of the process soon. The front of the collar had to be cut off for molding purposes( too big an undercut). And will be reattached when cast. Other than that the mold should be fairly easy, basic sock mold with a split down the back and two part mother mold. I look to be done molding over the weekend.

I bet that is an accurate depiction of how he looks right now.

Oh man, that's hard :lol. But your probably right. No need for make up for "Thriller the sequel".

Progress pics of molding. Print coat silicone applied. The collar was removed to mold seperately.

how sweet would it be if you got a replica thriller jacket and put this bust in it?

Mold complete, looks good. Will order casting materials and hope to have the first casting done this weekend!Anyone interested please PM me. I will offer these for $200 plus shipping for raw castings and $400 all painted up plus shipping. When I have pics of the castings and finished piece I'll post in the junkyard for the run. Thanks for all the comments!

I always wonder why when someone dies people make busts of them instead of doing it while they were alive.

Great Sculpt. The funny thing is, is that there is more silicone in MJ's face than in your mold. Ha ha ha...

Glass eyes. painted ones wouldn't do it justice. I'll cut a hatch in back to cut out the eyes and glue them in place.

 

[RussellSculpts]

Cut a hatch and glued in some glass eyes last night. Hope to have one painted this weekend.:rolleyes

Finally got one painted!
