Thread: The Vincent Price Project

Tweet

Hey Fellow Haunters,

During the winter I was testing new ways of making molds.
I decided to try and make my favorite horror actor of all time: Vincent Price.
I made a Plasticine clay original and the made the mold and final cast using Polyurethane Rubber.

I posted all the construction/progress pics in my albums. I don't know how much this looks like VP. Its always challenging to capture the likenesses of real people. But hey, it was sure fun to try. Thanks for viewing the post.

I think you did a pretty good job of capturing Vincent Price. What are the dimensions of the bust? I've been thinking if trying to make a gargoyle cast and would love to know how much this process costs?

Hi TK421,

Its a full size head about 12"x8". I used a Styrofoam head, mounted to a stand with the all the features sanded off and I added about 1" of Plasticine clay to make the original sculpture. The cool thing is that it can be reused over and and over again for different characters. That ran about $23.00
All and all I would say I invested about $75.00 into the project. My goal though is to be able to reproduce things like hands and faces without sculpting them from scratch every time. Also everything I make usually stays outside for long periods of time. So I tend to overbuild these things.

Looks great!!!!

That's great! Sounds like something I could take on. Might build some gargoyles for the house using this method.

TK421,
I worked on a gargoyle project last year that involved more a of foam sculpture technique.
It went a little quicker and cheaper than this project. Perhaps a mixture of both might be the answer for creating some cool statues

you did a great job I love VP, thanks for shring

He looks great. I think you did an awesome job of capturing his expression.

Looks just like him. Outstanding!

great job
