    Very nice .Christof! I know it took years to get it to this state. Can't wait to see Brosnan put together. Perhaps in another few years. All it takes is time and money. By the way, please re-post pictures of your LALD mine. That was excellent work!

    So, what sharp little eyes you've got...wait till you get to my teeth.

    Roberto started to paint my Brosnan. He will be ready very soon.

    (Thanks for the compliment about the mine, but I don't want to speak/post about it anymore, sorry.)

    That is scarily accurate (the eyebrows!). Wow, I'd love to see a life size Lazenby statue.

    I got some comments that the pics look spooky. :o I believe it is because the bust looks you right in the eyes and the pics are made from close by.

    One of the problems with these busts have to do with the use of glass eyes. If the eyes are not perfectly alligned, the bust can look doll like. The centers of the pupils have to be parallel. By using wax or clay and two wooden skewers you can check it. Affix the skewers to the pupil's centers with clay and check to see if the skewers are parallel. The other problem that crops up has to do with how big the iris's are.

    I think on the RPF some people thought the skin tones should have been muted or "layered more" or else you get a waxy look.

    apart from the cosmetics mentioned above by DG and Mantis (and I'd take them sincerely man, they know) I think it looks great....

    especially liked the contrived LP close up.....nice touch!.....

    and DG, I have a couple of these SC busts and a few PBs and I've always said they were superb....

    you should do another "round"....

    anyone want DG to go into production again?....

    :)

    in the spirit of this thread, this is DG's PB in fencing outfit

    Amazing stuff!! I for one agree on another run of production!
  • Donald GrantDonald Grant U.S.A.Posts: 2,251Quartermasters
    Wow, your Brosnan looks pretty damn good. I love the fencing outfit. As for another run, well I have a couple of un-sold ones. PM me if interested.

    Nice Brosnan!! {[] Are this eyes painted or glass?

    (I changed my pictures. Looks more natural.)

    Paul, amazing Brosnan! The fencing outfit is classic, from one of the best scenes of that film...very Bondian. Love seeing pieces of everyone's collection like this...almost like being in your midst! MORE!
