Searching for those magnificent busts

[kinggeorges]

Hi Planeteers,

While looking at SMC pictures, I saw two marvelous busts, as per the pictures.
I know the one on the left is hush, that has been commercialise in 2013, but almost impossible to find (if somebody has a copy to sell, I'm more than interested). But don't know the one on the right. Anyone has any idea on the manufacturer and/or where to find her?

Many thanks for the help
J

They were made by Chris Clayton (the same judge who displayed them at SMC).

The first one (dark one) is HUSH and was sold in very limited numbers. The other is HU2H and have never been reproduced.

BrokenToad do have a couple of Chris's busts in their range but otherwise you could try contacting him directly to see if he knows of anyone selling a HUSH. But good luck as they almost never get sold.

Thanks à lot Forte. Do you have an address where to contact him?

Sadly I don't and it seems he's removed his Facebook profile too so kind of stuck.
Sorry about that.

Your help is very appreciated Forte !
It looks like a kind of Graal....

Chris Clayton had his own company called Gigantic Miniatures, through which he put out a small range of fantasy pieces (orcs etc.) but it was only active for a short time and that would have been around 2010/2011/2012 sort of time frame. Since then he seems to have dropped off the radar, and as far as I know he was never a member here.

I've seen a couple of the HUSH busts painted up at shows. Not my thing but very impressive nonetheless, and it seems to be very sought-after so don't hold your breath (and be prepared to shell out some cash if you do find one for sale). Good luck though, sorry I can't be more positive/helpful.
