That Sculpt is from Howard S Studio's right? Love all his work, hes done some fantastic work for SS.
I really wanted his 1:1 Myers mask awhile back, but at the time I couldnt afford it. Maybe oneday soon though. Its beautiful.
That Batman is Awesome though, the design and the cutoff works wonders. WHat other 1:1's you planning on getting Gru?

haha...I will only sell if CM makes a Keaton Batman. :)

Thanks for the comments. I have wanted a quality Keaton Batman piece for a LONG time.

As for other 1:1 busts, getting a Reeve Superman and a lot of modern horror pieces. Already have Maul and Scarface and still looking for Aliens Warrior.

Great new addition to your collection.

It's been a while since I've had time to peruse the boards here, but I'm glad that I took some time today. I've bookmarked Howard's site :)

Hey Gruson, how much do these run, and how do you go about getting them?

I love 1:1 busts.

All I have is the Darkness and Predator, but want to add more.

I am on the hunt, like yourself, for the 1:1 Aliens bust.

It is the Howard S bust.

You can still find the unfinished Batman bust (RPF forum) but you will need to hire a painter for it.



As for the Aliens Warrior, you ^^^^^^es better back off!!!!

I got a Nicholson Joker bust from eBay yesterday. Now I have to get it painted, and it should look like this.

I believe this one was painted by Howard Senft, who also sculpted the bust.

I emailed him about painting mine, but he said he was too busy working on other projects to do paint work.

His website it here.

sweet! is that real ribbon and a real (fake) flower? looks to thin to be sculpted. amazing detail.
Gruson
06-27-2007, 10:51 AM
Correct, flower and silk tie are not sculpted. :)

Howard's work is awesome.

Camper also painted one of these up...amazing:

Both pieces looks very good. But, the Joker is incredible. Looks just like Jack...

I believe an unpainted cast is $350.

That isn't bad! Not bad at all! Especially considering how beautiful is. Question is yeah I get one for 350, but who do I get to paint it? Plus got to factor in shipping costs between his studio, the commissioned painter, and yourself.

Yup.

A paint job can run anywhere from $200 to $950, depending on who does it, for a 1:1 bust.

I know that Camper charges around $800 for the pictured Joker above (including silk tie, flower, glass eyes).

So if you wanted it to look just like that, you would end up spending around $1200 total for the bust.

But, you can use cheaper painters and only spend $550 on it. It could still look really nice.

Or you could always paint it yourself. :)
