Harrison Ford Bust - Origins?
- Thread starter clyde
- Start date
Well, I think that's who Rivière said it was for while he was sculpting it, but he was also selling casts later for around $250.
In regards to the one he offered for sale, just an fyi, he said himself that the top half was from a Ford cast that he 'fixed', and then sculpted the rest himself. He had a pretty sketchy name for a while in the IndyLounge forums as well, apparently pissed off quite a few people over on an Ark that he was offering and failed to deliver well on.
Anyways, he has sculpted Indy before, he sculpted one in 2008, his initials match, and he called his own company Magic Creation for a while. That's why I believe it's cast from the one he claimed, but I could of course be wrong.Judge for yourself, this is a W.I.P. photo by him in 2008 for the sculpt that was supposed to be heading to Disney:

Wow, sorry to hear that the original sculpter was a dishonest seller. That's why I usually envolve both ebaY and Paypal together in high dollar transactions. Nice trail for law enforcement to follow for both criminal and civil prosecution 
The seller of this bust is a very nice person out of Houston, Texas and I am very thankful to him for the opportunity to secure my first "Indy Bust".

CLyde,
Please slow on this idea. I never said that there were more available on Ebay. I said that he offered more for sale.
Give me 30 minutes or so, I'll find his listing. Long story short, what I remember, they were listed (limited) in 2010.... Not limited because there was a number, simply limited because it was a cash-and-carry....
It was what he offered then through castings...

Ah, I see Laellee, ok. I did not mean to put words in your mouth. I need to read more carefully. I look forward to that auction info. Thanks.
Well Taz, one might have to look a little harder for this version of Mr Ford. It is true that i've never come across this particular bust for sale on ebaY or any of the fan sites I visit. Mainly iv'e seen the Howard version, the Han Solo version, and a recent one with a unique facial expression.
