Finally completed a Marlon Brando! I had to choose between A Streetcar Named Desire or On The Waterfront and ended up going with the Streetcar look! Went for what I guess you could call Battle Damaged? ... with the ripped and sweat stained white T-Shirt! Took time to get it looking right but I am pretty much done with it now! Very happy with how my head sculpt came out!

Hey Joel,

Well, as I mentioned in an earlier post, I am really impressed with what you did here with Marlon! It has gotten my creative juices going...I'm going to try something a little different. I don't know if it will work, but stay tuned...

Btw, I'm not used to the new look of the forum yet...

For those who did not see my thread of this, Elvis Presley is done minus it having no shoes as of yet! Original early 1950's look with custom blazer!

Did you pick out a pair of shoes for Elvis yet Joel?

 

[SculptorJoel]

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

I have not found any yet mate! Looking for those loafer style ones, maybe some re-painted Michael Jackson one's would do it?

Hey Joel,

As I mentioned earlier, your Brando is so impressive to me. I don't have the talent to sculpt like you do, so my thoughts led me to take a different direction ( I think it's turning out ok so far...). I would love thoughts on this though...

I took my hot toys 50s Brando sculpt, recast it, and I've started to adjust it for an "On the Waterfront" look. I don't know if I will end up going that direction or with "Streetcar". I want to go with OTW but it depends on whether I can locate a jacket. Here he is so far:

Holy crap, that is gonna be awesome Geromino. Excited to see that finished man.

Joel, I think you might be on to something with the MJ shoes.

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

Hey Geronimo! Is that the Hot Toys Head Sculpt you are re-doing mate? The likeness is even better without paint and I love the adjustment on the eyes! Really got that On The Waterfront look to it! D'you reckon you culd cast out another, would love to re-sculpt one myself! But yours will look very impressive I am sure, are you going to change the hair to the OTW look? Yeah! Either jackets are very hard to find in 1/6th scale by the looks of things! Keep us updated on you re-sculpt though mate, very good indeed!

 

[SculptorJoel]

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

Yeah! I agree mate. I think it could give the look for the shoes too mate!

 

[Geronimo]

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

Yes, I can cast one up for you no problem. I'm not a pro at casting. It took me several tries to get the one I'm using. I'll pm you in a day or so..

 

[SculptorJoel]

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

Thanks ever so much mate, yeah! Just let me know the details! I prefer it with no Hot Toys paint and you re-sculpted eyes! Superb.

Looking forward to what both of you guys end up doing with that Brando hs

Thanks DA...! I know that you have a great eye for detail (Joel, you too!)

I'm curious on what direction I'm going to go...I found a great sleeveless t shirt that would look good for "Streetcar":

1/6 Magic Cube MC Toys Accessory Set - Men Khaki Vest

I've also asked someone if they could recreate the checkered jacked in "OTW"

Let's see...

Joel, what body did you use because it's perfect..!

I really do want a OTW custom too, but the jackets where the problem! I wanted to do the end scene windbreaker styled jacket with the big fut collar but nothing like it nor the check one! I have actually seen that jacket before! Pretty cool that they re made it, another company did a similar thing with James Dean's ranchers coat from Giant! The figure body I used are actually a really decent price! They are the HitFigure ones over on eBay! I think they are also a perfect fitting for Marlon Brando! I think I my do some re-sculpting to just a few parts on my Streetcar Brando but would love a OTW Brando too! Looking forward to yours too mate! Nice! I am tempted on asking the person who made my Elvis blazer weather they could do the end scene OTW jacket if I can get the head and re-sculpt it! I never realised how good it was.
