Life Size Hyper Realistic "Zorro" Statue
Wax Museum-style Lifesized Statue
Of a client as "Zorro"
We get all sorts of interesting and unusual requests from our clients, so when a gentleman approached us about creating a realistic statue of him as his favorite film character, we jumped at the chance.
Our private client provided most of the costume and a range of photos for us to use as reference in our work.
Creating a figure with this level of realism involved the talents of a number of artists.
Tom Spina created the clay sculpture, capturing the client's likeness as a slightly younger man.
Mike Thomas assisted on the molding and silicone casting process, and Tom carefully painted the head and installed the custom glass eyes.
The hair, brows, lashes and mustache were all punched in by hand, one hair at a time by Rufus Hearn.
The custom mannequin body was built by Tom Spina, Patrick Louie and Robb DeNicola.
Special thanks to Guy Louis XVI and his Fuse-FX silicone paint system!

The clay sculpture was the starting point for the lifesize bust that would top our client's special figure.
Paint was carefully applied to match the client's coloring. Test eyes are shown above.
