So along with the Bob-Omb, and Devo Gun, this is the other SMB piece that I've been working on (and definitely my favourite!). I loved the goomba designs in the movie as soon as I saw them (in fact, they're my favourite thing about the whole movie), so when I saw this resin bust come up, I just had to add it to my collection.
This bust was either cast from the original movie mold or is cast from a mold taken of a screen-used goomba head (not sure exactly which) so the detail is incredible.
Here it was with the clean-up work done and the eyes and mouth cut out:
And here's the paint-job I was aiming for (there were different paint schemes used on each of the 4 goomba with this particular style of head):
And here's my finished head (the eyes are glass and I sculpted the palettes and teeth for the inside of the mouth):
I have chicken wire to build a form for the shoulders and upper torso (since the shoulders are a big part of the character), but getting hold of the correct fabric to make the shirt is a real pain. Will update when/if I get the upper torso done.
And next on the block (when he arrives), will be Toad.
