darth thorpe, I clipped one of your pics to show a side by side comparison.
The likeness is verrry good, right down to the scar on the chin.
I think I might just pick this one up.

Does GG use some sort of computer technology to do the sculpting?

They do 3D scans of faces for their busts. That's why they turn out so good.

Same toughts here, G.
Not bad, looks good overall, but Sideshow Han likeness blows GG out of the water. There's something about Hans mouth in this bust that seems off to me. Maybe it's the thin lips, I dunno.

Same opinion. While it looks good, it's deffinitely not H.Ford.
SS Han is excellent!!!!

Skulpturen have you seen it in person? Some times pictures doesn't make justice to the piece. I haven't seen it yet. Who hasn't been surprised with some pieces when you see them in person? Either for good or bad

I haven't seen it in person. But I have seen many many good photos.
Judging from the photos, the likeness is not 'dead on'.
But as you say, I may change my mind once I get it.

Venezuela? Does the postal service work good? I can only imagine you have to insure every package... :)

It takes between 7-10 days to get to the Venezuelan postal service and 2-3 months before I get them in hands! :banghead: Plus a LOT of $$$ for taxes and fees! :mad:

I, too, think the likeness is slightly off. I still like the piece a lot, and I do plan to pick one up.
