Enjoy. I did not sculpt the head, that was made by a good friend of mine. I shortened the base mannequin down to 5' 10" the same as Stallone, by taking chunks out of the legs and body.  |

Okay just finished the video. Very cool but a little dark. You really did an amazing job on that. Life size displays of actual people, as opposed to a Vader or something like that, can be very tricky and don't always come out looking to good. People's faces and hair are hard to get right. You really nailed it. No we just need more light.  |

Tom, The bust was made by a great brazilian sculptor called Edinho. All I did was shorten the mannequin in various places, and made the base, which had a few set backs to get it looking kinda right. I found a licence plate from where the movie was supposed to have been set and from that era, and then found an old Coke can from that era too, to make it look like rubbish on the side of the highway. I hope I did it justice pal. I do have a screen accurate sleeping bag to go with it too, but havnt got the room for it to be over his shoulder in my study. |

Warthog, I would like to make a version where he wears his tarp. I have a screen accurate tarp and power cord, a screen accurate tank top, jeans and boots, would need to get another bust and mannequin, add a United Cutlery knife, as it would have to stay in the sheath, and thats the worst thing you can do to a knife as after time the moisture from the sheath will attack the steel. This is how I had one done before, but this time add a bust. rambomania.proboards.com/thread/186/first-blood-costume-projects |

Hi Raven Many times I crossed your collection during the last two years Have you ever seen the photo of Rambo in Vietnam with his team? I saw it many years ago on the web, but didn't saved it and never found it again. Rambo was holding and M16 with other soldiers. It's the photo Stallone showed to Berry Delmore's wife during first blood... Have you ever seen it? Do you have it? It's two years I am obsessed by it |
