This bust was cast from the original movie mold and is an exact match to the lifesize busts seen in the "Making of Mars Attacks" book. It's HUGE - much larger than my other Martian bust.
I painted it by hand using brushes, with the paint job based on the reference photos available in the "Making Of" book.
The metal temple "nodes" were missing, so I created these from large buttons and Milliput.
The "tentacles" that hang down from the cheek bones are missing. This piece (along with the temple nodes) would have been cast seperately (there is a slot on the underside of the cheeck bones for them to attach into) but was not with the bust when i bought it.
