**Phantom Of The Opera Bust

[ManthingVT]

Here are some pictures of a sculpture that I did for my good friend Saul Alvarez. Obviously, it is from an iconic role from the 1925 film The Phantom Of The Opera. This is the unbaked sculpture and it's sculpted in a mix of SS and Sculpey Firm and is 1/4 scale. The finished product will have a support base for display. And yes, this will be at Wonderfest in case you were wondering... ;-)

I remember my dad watching the old monster movies and it took me back when I saw these pics.. great work mark. I often wonder what sideshow has not contacted you and had them work for them, your sculpt is dead on, great work...

[Pun1313]

Hey Mark stay off the phone because
SideShow should be calling any second now.

Mark hands down you captured the likness of
Lon and the Phantom..
