Formula One World Champion
1/6 scale cold-cast bronze
bust
This particular piece was actually
concieved back in early 1996, just as newly-crowned world-champion
Michael Schumacher first appeared in his Ferrari overalls at the
launch of the F-310.
My initial plan was to sculpt a full-body figure that would be
realistically-painted, but somehow that
very idea left me unsatisfied. This cold-cast bronze piece
is essentially a derivative of that early project,
but properly massaged and refined to a level of presentation I
deemed suitable for a four-time world-champion.
I have opted to produce these as a limited-edition of 200, and
each will be hand-signed and numbered by myself.
Below: photos of the original sculpture, entirely hand-crafted
and detailed in Super Sculpey. The fine
detail of the hair and stitching are clearly visible here, as are
Schumacher's prominent features.
