The Phantom of the Opera
Lon Chaney Bust
Here we are again. Up close and personal with the
Phantom.  The Phantom of the Opera that is.  The story,
the monster has been worked and reworked over and over
again, since the first time we saw him in the nineteen
twenties flick, starring Lon Chaney Sr.   In my mind, the
earliest version was the classic,never to be equaled by any
others thus far.   Mr. Chaney was a master at doing his
own make-up, distorting his features, into horrific shapes
and B&W tones of gigantic proportions.    I'll always be
grateful to men like this from yesteryear, for their genius
and daring, to go where others only dreamed of.

Geometric Design, is one of my very favorite model
makers.  As far as I'm concerned they have captured the
very essence of this being, with this bust of the Phantom.   
I am hoping that I created the same feel with the painting,
assembly and graphics of this bust, that they did.  

I hope you enjoy what I have done and the titles I decided
on for each composition with graphics.
