    This bust is a likeness of Herman Munster (Fred Gwyne) of the sitcom The Munsters. This is a 1/3 scale bust. Bought this direct from the sculptor (Chris Elizardo). The base i took from my base's box and the nameplate was sculpted by me. Painted with automotive paints, acrilycs, enamels and soft pastel chalk. Thistook me 3 weeks to paint.

    Very nicely done. The treatment of the glossyness in the mouth and eyes is a good touch, especially in this scale. The sculpting is a very good likeness as well. Very fun stuff!

    Hi Carlo,
    Great sculpt and you've done an excellent job painting it.
    Is it commercially available?
    Oh, and very nice job sculpting the nameplate too.
