This is a five-piece resin bust based upon the 1927 silent film “The Cat and The Canary” as portrayed by Forrest Stanley and sculpted by Ray Santoleri. It’s the second 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 a wood base purchased at a craft store along with a plywood back with a photo of a hidden room in a library where The Cat enters to snare his prey. This was found on Google Images and includes the 1927 movie poster that was photo shopped onto the library photo. The Persian rug on the base was also purchased in the dollhouse section of a craft store.

Thanks, everyone. Crimson Pool Productions is a new company who is specializing in silent film subjects and will be branching out into other areas in the future. I can't say enough about the quality of their castings, with little to no seam or air hole clean up (one of my least favorite parts). The third release in their series, "Mr. Hyde", is also a beautiful casting. I'm looking forward to working on this one this coming winter. You can check them out on Facebook.
Since your Photobucket no longer works, may I suggest that you use the Clubhouse Gallery as an alternative. All your current pics (that I have on file) are located at http://theclubhouse1.net/piwigo/index.php?/search/1053 You can use that URL in your signature or wherever you want. We are more than happy to add additional photos to YOUR gallery, with comments if you like, all we ask is that to preserve the history of the hobby that you include whatever information you have on the model, i.e., sculptor, producer, size, medium (any or all of which you may know).
