Classic Actors & Tough Guys - Bogart, Cagney, Wayne, Eastwood, Dean & Others...

Wonderful Clint Joel, just wonderful
Very screen accurate too.

I have to admit I have yet to find the energy to put this character together (or the finances)

Using Scott Petersen's sculpt I opted for a "re-imagined" bounty hunter.

But I did try to be as accurate as possible when I did Pvt Kelly using Spencer's sculpt.

Dirty Harry is another tricky one to get right.
My first attempt, with Scott's sculpt wasn't accurate but I feel he conveyed the essence of the character to some extent.

After I got Spencer's sculpt I tried again and with the use of the Brother's Production sweater and a Hot Toys Magnum he's slightly more on target.

I think I might do a new photo shoot with the guy, I was never really satisfied with these pics and that might be why I actually prefer the earlier version.

Very nice pieces Itchybitz. Some great paint applications as well. I really like the Velvet Morning sculpts but I think they do only work for Blondie to be honest! I really like you Dirty Harry! I should re build up mine with new parts! I never knew about those Spencer Clint Eastwood Head Sculpts, they look great! Strong likeness' on them all. Now you need Blondie!

You're probably right about Scott's sculpt only working for Blondie but I love to mix things up sometimes.

But I really think it worked pretty well with this one that I called "The GI With No Name." I think it somehow captures the character.

Here he is mixing it up with some other movie tough guys. I do enjoy using sculpts out of context.

Very nice! Yeah! That reminds me of the end scene of The Good, The Bad & The Ugly. The details do look really nice!

Yes, I think it's the way he is posed - it's very "Clint". It was one of those ones that just kinda happened, I was very pleased with how he turned out.
Originally it was an older Harrison Ford but one day I just wondered what it would look like with the other sculpt plus some Newline boots I'd just aquired and I really liked it.

Here's the Ford version, he fits right in here anyway
(The sculpt is by Numo)

Another great piece! That is a really strong likeness! I have actually never seen that Head Sculpt before! Looks awesome!

I agree with Joel! That Harrison Ford figure is spot on...a very good likeness; very lifelike...

Too many great figs on this thread...can't keep up . Keep up the great work, guys...!

Latest piece! Jack Nicholson as Randle Patrick McMurphy from One Flew Over The Cuckoo' Nest.

Nice job on Nicholson, but a tough guy?

 

[Geronimo]

Re: Classic "Tough Guys" thread - Bogart, Cagney,Weissmuller (Tarzan), Cooper & other

Yeah, I agree with Ironman...really nice figure, great job, but...not a "tough guy". Falls into the same category as my Jack Sparrow figure...

Actually, we should consider some categories of "toughness" that would make a figure qualify. For example:

- Any military (or space) figure - (having to go through battle makes you tough)

- Any figure from the old west - (you had to be tough to endure that time and way of life)

- Any cop, agent, detective, hoodlum, gangster or boxer

- Any superhero type figure


Additionally, to having the figure qualify in one of these areas above, they should be "classic" tough guys (up to the year 1999). Everyone agree? Any thoughts, revisions, omissions?

Nicholson would qualify because of "Chinatown and "The Two Jakes".

Re: Classic "Tough Guys" thread - Bogart, Cagney,Weissmuller (Tarzan), Cooper & other

Yes, Jack would qualify, but not as depicted in Joel's post, right?

Re: Classic "Tough Guys" thread - Bogart, Cagney,Weissmuller (Tarzan), Cooper & other

Yeah, I just thought because of the era, this would be a good place to post it to be honest! But yeah, his Gittes character would but still, my personal favorite actor. Anyhow, enjoy!

It's fun to debate a bit isn't it? We have to keep each other honest..

Yeah! I do not really think of this thread being that now! Just all the good classic actors in general. Just change the title and it's good to go!

Hmm, let me think about that one..

What does everyone else think?

It was worth a try! I am sure no one minds a Classic Actor (Not tough character) posted right?

Ok, Joel, for you, anything! Your Jack now fits perfectly in because we are now the "Classic Actors" thread!
