Der Golem

This is a two-piece resin bust based upon the 1920 silent German expressionist film “Der Golem” as portrayed by Paul Wegener and sculpted by Ray Santoleri. It’s the first in a series of busts based on silent film characters that’s produced and distributed by Crimson Pool Productions.
You can tell that a modeler has produced this kit, there was very little clean up on the figure and none on the stone base. It was a lot of fun to build, with the only addition being the green flood light from Starlight Productions that was used to give the figure the green hue as seen in several research photos. It’s housed in a wood shadow box style base built from ¼” plywood and various plywood and basswood strips that hide the battery pack for the floodlight. The top of the base is removable for contest judging purposes and also contains a nameplate that was downloaded from the opening credits of the 1920 film “Der Golem: How He Came Into The World (1920)”.

Wow! It really looks like stone. Stunning effects! And the name plate is superb.

An incredible build. Thanks for sharing.
