Looks cool, but not for $550.00

Strangely enough... Now it's at $380.00. Check again.

Nice reworking on the brando/cann sculpt.
Not 100 percent there but there is a likeness in there

I like him a lot Peter! I have used the same sculpt for Bogie (one that I found online) for all of my figures as he is one of my favorites. Actually, his was the first figure that I completed...I came across yours after the fact. I think yours is better, and I especially like the ciggy!

Have you casted him? How many of your scupts have you casted?

You should consider posting some of your sculpts and casts periodically on this thread (especially the casts). As several of us do multiple figures of a classic actor of our liking, I can see us collectively ordering a James Dean, Marlon Brando, Jimmy Stewart, James Cagney, Edward G. Robinson, John Wayne, etc.

Thanks Sparks! I'm still working on him..trying to rework the eyebrows, etc. My goal is to see if I can get him as close as possible. If I do, I'll post what I did to him so everyone will know...

Still too much for me, but he has a better shot at selling it now.

Nice, but what is James Dean wearing?

Ok, with Joel's fabulous sculpt arriving tomorrow, it will take its rightful place in my Wild One dio. I figured I would take one last shot though at the sculpt that I bought online to see if I could make it presentable for a future Brando dio.

A number of mods needed to be done as you see from the picture below:

I stripped off most of the paint to start pretty much from scratch. Then his cheeks were padded; nose rounded, eye sockets sanded upward to open his eyes, and eyebrows sanded down because they were raised too high. His lower lip also needed to be widened and modified.

These are the results - DA, you're my ultimate judge because if I can get you to see a likeness, I'm in good shape...

Some friends have joined him....

Cary Grant starring in his only war flick....here he is in Destination Tokyo!

Movie Review

Though its purely propagandastic aspects are never far from surface, Destination Tokyo must rank as one of the most intelligent and objective of wartime thrillers. Cary Grant is a tower of strength as Captain Cassidy, skipper of an American submarine bound for Tokyo harbor. Its mission: to allow a Navy meterologist to survey Japanese weather conditions, in preparation for a major Allied assault. Many of the individual incidents in Delmar Daves' script are based on fact, notably an episode in which a pharmacist's mate is called upon to perform an emergency appendectomy. Admittedly, some of the secondary characters are WWII stereotypes, but they're never played that way. Particularly good isDane Clark, in his first important screen role; also registering well as a radio man is John Forsythe, in his first screen role ever. From the sub's embarkation in San Francisco to its climactic retreat from Japan, there's not a single solitary dull moment in the 135 minutes of Destination Tokyo. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
