This is one actor I've wanted immortalized in plastic for quite some time.

The first thing I had to do was decide on the De Niro "era" to sculpt. If you go back and look, Bob's face has changed dramatically from the Raging Bull era to Analyze This ..... age tends to this . I ended up choosing time frame around Casino and Good Fellas. Why? He had a clean shaved look with short hair and well, these were the only good photos I could find :-P.

Looking Bob's face, a few of things should really stand out. He has a sunken orbital cavity with some money bags around the eyes. The mole on the right side of his face is a given. His cheekbone is straight all the way down to the nose area and then curves inward into a distinctive chin. When he gets mad, there's actually three ridges/ wrinkles that forms between his nose, cheek and mouth. His nose is thin at the bridge, but slowly flares out. The nostils are thin but wide. I could go on with more details, but I figure 95% of you have already stopped reading after the second line. Anyone care to guess what this project will be???
