Hey all,

Thought I'd try a conversion. I picked up a Russell Crowe gladiator bust from a parts bin in Atlanta. Greg Bowman gave me the idea to convert it to his character from MaC. He's about 70% done...

Hey James,

He is looking good but there is something missing. have you seen the movie? He has some damage to his left ear. Here is a picture.

Great catch Joe. Yes, I did notice that, but wasn't going to include it - looked kind of wierd. They never mentioned it in the movie (that I recall), I guess the real Jack Aubry had such an injury?

Great idea, Jim. One of my favorite movies!! Let's see more as you progress.

I was a little disappointed though. You left the "s" out of your posting title. I thought we had a new Phoenix Phollies vignette!! :lol:

Jim, Nice but. I would fill in every other buttonhole on his waistcoat as a period one would only have about 9-10 buttons from throat to waist.~Gary

Thanks guys.

Oops. Hate it when that happens...

Pat, no offense taken. I was commenting on my spelling skills, not your post.

Hope to get him done by this weekend.
