I'll try to talk to him this weekend. Are you looking to get one with the "mouth" big enough to project out of?  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-10-2009 11:35 PM                  quote: Tony Bandiera Jr Are you looking to get one with the "mouth" big enough to project out of?

I NEED a BIGGER mouth to handle my needs.  |  IP: Logged Joshua Waaland Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: Cleveland, Ohio Registered: Dec 1999 posted 07-23-2009 08:19 PM                     What about this? http://zhkis.com/roaring-lion-wall-sculpture.aspx I used to do some prototyping when I worked for another company. If I could get an artist to do a sculpture based on the one in Cinema Paradiso, I could make a reverse mold from it and then make copies to sell. Wonder what a decent artist would charge for something like that.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-23-2009 09:38 PM                     You mean THIS lion?

Look at the still... you can just about get your head in there! Btw... excellent idea, Phil!!  |  IP: Logged Joshua Waaland Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: Cleveland, Ohio Registered: Dec 1999 posted 07-29-2009 01:50 PM                     How did you find those pictures Randy?
