That was the original base design. At some point the riser and name plate got scrapped. I'll add more pics and views to this thread later.

A early rough shot of Westrider and his original pose SS was going to go with.

Speechless...

These are awesome maquettes.
The detailing on these two is incredible.

[Bullseye]

Agreed. Its amazing the amount of detailing on these relatively small pieces.

[DFury]

These are by far my two most favorite pieces by Ray!! The detail on them is crazy insane and are easily the best GR pieces ever done...

Right Now I have only room to display 9 full size statues and these two occupy center stage along with the GR LSB in the middle..

Total Home Run for Ray!!!!

I own the original and it's a statue my eyes seek everytime I hit my office/hobby room. GR is really one of the most interesting looking characters out there and this statue just nails it. I am so glad I have this statue. Thank-you for sculpting him. He couldn't be any better. :thumbs2:
(kick myself for not also buying the Western version)

Wow. :eek:

How did you---I mean I cant even begin to imagine the amount of work that goes into creating details like that. :eek: :buttrock:

I've been wanting to get that Ghost Rider statue for awhile now. It just hasn't worked out for me yet.

Just like with some of your other sculpts, they're the best versions of the characters out there. One day that Ghost Rider with be mine.

What's your favorite sculpting medium, Ray?

[Ray Villafane]

What's your favorite sculpting medium, Ray?

I love working with hard carving wax (TMS wax). I have recently switched over to Gary Willows "Max" wax for the roughing in stage then use the hard TMS carving wax for finishing.

This is my favorite piece. Top knotch!
