Life Size Funhouse Statue

Who doesn't like life sized statues? They complete the full look of whatever character your trying to recreate. Monte Ward from Mask and Monsters.com just finished this full sized 6' 4" tall Gunther Straker from the classic 1981 slasher film The Funhouse directed by the one and only Tobe Hooper. This thing looks AMAZING...


Follow up:

Here is Monte explaining how he created this monster of a statue...

"I just finished my full-size statue of Gunther Straker from The Funhouse. He's 6' 4" tall, that's me in the one photo and I'm 6' 2". The core is a fiberglass mannequin that I added my translucent resin bust onto. I also customized the arms and added joints to the elbows. And made a custom pair of resin hands for him.
I finished him off with a wooden plank base, to recreate the look of the funhouse floor.
Check the classifieds if you are interested in him.
And please let me know what you all think."
