Folks,

I am wondering if anyone makes a 1/35th scale head based on Humphrey Bogart. I would like to make a diorama based on Bogart's movie "Sahara" one of my favorite WW2 movies, and I would like to convert a tanker to portray "Bogey", standing next to his beloved M3. Family legend has it that a distant cousin helped drive the tank for the movie, he was later killed in action in Normandy.

Thanks in advance,

John

I don't think there's a commercial figure of Bogart in 1/35. I've seen some busts, but nothing in 54mm-1/35. You're best best would eb to get a very generic face and try to paint Bogey like features.

Thanks, I was afraid of that. Maybe some miliput to make those jowls!

Hey John,
Try getting some of Hornet's head sets:

Hornet's selection appears to have gone away from providing the head gear but giving us a wide variety of facial expressions.
One of these should give you a good head start on doing Bogart !!
I personally like one of the guys in HH12, they have "Bogie's" big ears.



Cheers

Thanks, it does look like a good jumping off point!

John,

Verlinden has a set of heads ( set # 146 ) that has a head that looks like Bogart. It is the last head on the bottom right on the illustration that comes with the package.

Good Luck in your search. It is also one of my favorite movies and I also thought of doing a dio scene from the movie, ( Kinda like a Hollywood goes to war thing). Looking forward to seeing your Dio. milvehfan
