Whew this display has changed hands A LOT. First created by Bruce Hansing, I"ve seen this prop in the hands of the late Houdiniguy, then over to Detale78 who added to this piece significantly. I believe he put wires, and other electronic looking parts in the elbow areas (and they were still greasy :angry
), made a stand that looks like a spine(?) and painted a helmet to match the suit. Then it went to Simmon M who displayed this proudly in that amazing lifesized bust room of his...
So it's been through a lot. I've been eyeing this piece for a few years but for some reason or another it never entered the gravitational vortex that is my basement.
But here it is - I wanted to do something different with it because everyone's seen pics of it one way or another.
I got a white rolling clothes rack (white to match my walls so that this would appear to be floating). My intention was to mimic the scene from which he was hanging in the lab after he was dismantled. Thus, he had to be strung up.
I just got the rack a few days ago and the steel cable yesterday. I still have to add a lot of details like wires, gadgets, gizmos.. .etc. but not too much as to detract from the bust. I think that it currently looks a lot like the sarah connor chronicles bust which isn't a bad thing. :love
That's about it - it's still a work in progress. The bust is heavy! Imagine little ol' me using both hands to hold the steel cable, while I supported the bust on one knee while standing on my tippee toes on my other foot. Yea... it was pretty ridiculous :wacko I didn't even "roll" it to the right place in my collection - that's just the "work area"
blah - enough talk - on with the pics... more to come later.. (yes, I have other projects to fix up in the works... sorry I've been slow. I have the attention span of a bug on acid. :angel)
comments welcome as always
