I love him! He looks like he just got out of bed!

That show always appealed to me, but for the oddest reasons. First because he dressed so frumpy, and second because he had a glass eye...

You did a great job on him Sparks!

Haha as good a reason as any.
I like the glass eye cus you don't know if he's looking at ya or not and I'm a bit of a scruff myself.
I just love how dumb he plays it and sucks up to the murderers and lulls them into a false sense of security , whilst annoying the **** out of them at the same time
Then it's just one more thing, then another and another, untill they snap and then he twigs something, or they make a mistake, or entrap themselves.
Can watch episodes over and over.
Thanks but all the credit has to go to alex lopez who sculpted and painted this for me.
Very talented guy on here, who some of you already know
All I did was dress the figure and bleach the colour from the overcoat.
Gunna paint dog a bit more accurately and get a better tie but it's pretty much done.
If I had to sell all my figures, this would be the one I would keep out of the lot, because it cracks me up every time I see it.
Can't put a price on that

You're right Sparks...you never knew where that eye was going to go. Alex did a great job, and the clothes are right on the mark. Fun figure to look at...puts a smile on your face. We need more of that!

Here's something I've been working on...Cary Grant and Grace Kelly in one of Hitchcock's finest..."It Takes A Thief"...

To Catch a Thief is a 1955 romantic thriller directed by Alfred Hitchcock from a screenplay by John Michael Hayes, which was very loosely based on the 1952 novel of the same name by David Dodge. The movie stars Cary Grant as a retired cat burglar who has to save his reformed reputation by catching a new "cat" preying on the wealthy tourists of the French Riviera. Grace Kelly stars opposite him as his romantic interest in her final film with Hitchcock.

That looks incredible Geronimo! Both Head Sculpts are spot on and am I right to say the Grace Kelly one is Mattel right? Awesome set up right there!

Hi Joel...yep, the Grace Kelly is a Mattel Barbie (I'm sheepishly embarrassed to say). But it's a good likeness, and I put it on a posable body.

Hey DA:...it seems like you are dropping some hints with your posts....if it's what I'm thinking, I'm looking forward to seeing your upcoming ones!

I have to agree! The likeness is right on the mark in my opinion! I noticed that too, but never said anything, I want some images DA!

Oh, oh, be still my beating heart...perfect! Well, almost perfect! The only thing better would be Clint himself in person!

That sculpt is incredible, even seeing the top half of it...more, more...

By the way, I commented on your Kelly/Grant pics over on OSW, but if you didn't read it yet..... Excellent work as always my friend

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

Hey DA, thanks, I saw...

Likewise, I'm looking forward to your Man with No Name. You have a knack for that perfect detail, most especially with your western figures.

Man, that sculpt is the best I've seen of Eastwood. Before that, I think the one that I have was, but yours is better...looking forward to it.

Hey Mr. Joel, what's up with you? Anything new with Marlon? Last I saw, your "On The Waterfront" was coming along nicely...

I'm working on a figure now that will go with my Flash Gordon (pics near the beginning of this thread). It will be Jane Fonda as Barbarella...

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

Thank you Geronimo. Accuracy is very important to me when bashing, so I try to make it as close as possible. It doesn't need to be perfect though & I will take creative liberties here and there
Onto the Clint sculpts out there, I always liked Lonnie's Clint hs that you used, but Trevor Grove nailed him perfectly with his effort.
I also love the HeadPlay old Clint hs that came out a couple of years ago.

Nice figures and photoset geronimo.
Seen the film years ago and enjoyed it but its not that fresh in my mind.

Thanks man. The eyes are intense on that sculpt, so I wanted to capture that for a teaser

Here is the info on the hs, but it's long sold out:

Hey Sparks...thanks! Yeah, it's one of my favorite Hitchcock/Grant movies. Now that I think of it, the movies that Grant did with Hitchcock are his best, particularly Notorious and To Catch a Thief. And Grace Kelly is not particularly hard to look at.

Joel, I believe that you said you were going to work on a Jimmy Stewart sculpt, right? Did you ever start? He was in another good Hitchcock movie with Kelly...

That is a nice sculpt and a great paint job. Did you paint him?

I painted some of it. I left the the eyes and skin tone alone, but painted on the scars, bruising around the eyes, cheeks, mouth, and of course the beard hair, after I sculpted it on the hs
