Old West Ghost Rider Maquette

Sideshow Collectibles has released new pictures and information on thier upcoming Old West Ghost Rider maquette based on designs from the upcoming major motion picture arriving in theaters on 2.16.07. Look for this stunning maquette to begin shipping later this year.

Under the supervision of Creative Director Tom Gilliland, the Sideshow creative team studied the conceptual artwork created from the film, and together with sculptor Ray Villafane, translated the conceptual designs into a fully realized sculptural artwork. The prototype was finished with Tom's paintwork, detailing and enhancing the sculpted cowboy clothing, bone, and fire.

The West Rider Maquette is sculpted in approximately 1:5 scale and stands roughly 17 inches tall. Each piece is hand cast and hand painted to exacting standards. West Rider is fully outfitted in cowboy gear, much of which has been consumed by flames, with embers still glowing. The figure is complete with a realistic rope, and the ever-'burning' flames are cast in a translucent material designed to enhance ambient light. Each piece will be packed in a durable molded foam interior for safe shipment, and packaged inside a beautiful full color box.

The Sideshow Exclusive version of the West Rider Maquette includes a base ringed with flames. Visit the Sideshow Collectibles website to pre-order yours today.
