House of Wax Bust

[KelG1]

I was asked to make this on a dare.
Did it in 3 hours.
The hat took the most time.

For three hours work, I recognized who it was immediately.
Take your time on your next try. Professor Jarrod is an
important character in horror history.

Something about that movie bothers me--the theme of a sculptor getting disfigured and driven mad hits too close to home maybe.
I don't like doing miniature monster faces--I prefer doing the unmasked faces since  I like making miniature faces as realistically as I can.
Maybe if I get interest in it (as in I sell it) I will do another.
I didn't want to make Phibes but I was pestered about it.

Do you mean "unmasked" in real life or reel life?

Reel.
It's not like I have a burning desire to do Dave Prowse without the Vader helmet on.

Lon Chaney's Wolfman is my favorite Universal monster but I would rather do Larry Talbot as a sculpture because I guess I feel it is more dramatic and challenging.
I like monster masks and puppets--but something about making one as a statue--it doesn't appeal at all.
Besides, there are so many of them.
I don't see the point in making another one when there are so many good ones. I can't add to it.

New version--more fancy
