I'm keeping the tendrils off mine. Like it better that way.
Maybe I'm biased but I might agree... As... finally.... Mine has arrived folks. Safely too. Despite looking at all these pics I still was not ready for the size of this bust. And what a work of art. The portrait is easily, the best I have ever seen in person. I'll post some pics once I take some.

GrumpyBear you may proceed now that I have mine

Any help is greatly appreciated. Anyone know what type of technique I'll have to use to fix his small chip on the tongue? Also what colors or type of paint I should use to achieve the same results. Thank you in advance.
Also, does anyone have a close up shot of where my chip is at so I can try to match up the color scheme. Thanks.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Red base coat, then mix some red and white until you closely match the lighter areas, then clear gloss coat over top. Should be simple.

Thanks, Bmutha. Any recommendations on what type of acrylic I should use brand wise? Also, will this Gloss Varnish work? Doesn't look clear as a peach tint to it, but maybe it dries clear? Sorry new to this whole touch up repair scene. Greatly appreciate your help.

I plan to keep mine and get the rest in the series.

Only 250 of these made and they were already hard to get.

Oh believe me, the plan is to keep it, I never buy with the intention of selling. Just saying if someone came up and offered me more than twice what I paid I wouldn't be able to say no.

Not sure if you are on FB but I posted a pic of mine to the Kucharek bros page and hinted that they need to do a matching Carnage and they/he (who responded) was awfully coy.... let the speculations begin!
