WIP 60's 70's characters busts

[Alex Lopez]

Hello,
I'm planning a collection of 1/6 busts about TV and movie characters from 60's and 70's.
I don't know how many I can sculpt but I'll try to make all as possible...

This is the first.
Peter Falk as Leutenant Columbo.
Hope you like it

This is the head.

 

[gordy]

Very cool

 

[Alex Lopez]

...and the first casting.
I'm going to sculpt the rest of bust with one of those...

 

[Alex Lopez]

Very cool

Hi Gordy, I think 1/6 is not an usual scale for planet but, hope find interesting this project...

Alex.

 

[gordy]

Nah, it's a scale that's good enough Anyone says otherwise is flat wrong!

OK!!! Thanks.

Excellent Alex, I can't wait to see more!

1/6th scale is just fine. I have done many heads in that size for commercial purposes. But, truth be told, I am better with the little stuff!

How about rockers like Jimmy Hendrix, Jim Morrison or Janis Joplin?

Keep up the good work!

Thanks Mike, you have not to tell me that,,, I know your work!!
About size bust, I have made some attempts in several scales,,, I think, 1/10, 1/9 is an exelent scale for include some supplies in the bust, like helmets, armature, clothes, etc...
But in this case, I want to concentrate me on the likeness and expression mainly, and the rest of the bust will be complementary only.
Also, in 1 / 6 scale can test some things in sculpture like texture of the skin.

regards,

Alex.

Two words:
Starsky & Hutch! (OK I cheated with the &)

Great likeness of Columbo, the little smirk is perfect.

Suggestions for Alex Lopez

Alex, I would really like to see you do Sgt Saunders bust? I know you had worked on one in the past. Have you completed it or thought of making it available for sale?

Any thoughts to doing Zorro or Lone Ranger? I would love to paint one of those.

Appreciate your work and efforts.

All the Best, Terry Martin and The AMFS Gang

Alex, great sculpting and a true likeness. For a future sculpt can I suggest Quincey, I think his name was Jack Klugman

Cheers Ken

Nice likeness! The best thing about painting Peter Faulk would be the fact that if your eyes don't line up, it doesn't matter!!!!!!! LOL!
