Sacred_Path Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) So, a summary: the modern forensic science makes it possible to turn gnawed skulls into perfect facial reconstructions. Computers makes it possible to reproduce perfect faces - and what the hell is this? You've been watching too much CSI Jonny Reconstructing the soft tissue of the face - in a way that reflects the look of the original - is still close to impossible. There are prominent examples of where that technology proved of little use just recently. But speaking of Emma... it's really not that bad. You've been going on about Marcia Cross, well, when they have the same hairdo there IS kind of a resemblance between the two IRL.

Roberto Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 The artist only had pictures and videos as a reference. He basically had to guess what her facial dimensions were. They didn't have any scientific data to work with. Since they were basically winging it, a passing resemblance is at least commendable. Link to post Share on other sites

You've been going on about Marcia Cross, well, when they have the same hairdo there IS kind of a resemblance between the two IRL. Although I love Gil Grissom and his unemotional way to solve cases (after he left the team, the series deteriorated), it was in fact a highly aclaimed documentary by the BBC, which gave me the idea.... And Stoertebecker - well, they managed it that his skull was stolen from the museum in Hamburg - who know's which skull they used for re-facing??? And speaking of Emma - I really prefer the real thing.... this waxi-Emmi is....... money-saving. Because I have no need to go to MT next time I am in London..... Link to post Share on other sites
Sacred_Path Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 And Stoertebecker - well, they managed it that his skull was stolen from the museum in Hamburg - who know's which skull they used for re-facing???My point was that, whoever that skull really belonged to, it's less than safe to say he really looked like the reconstruction IRL. And speaking of Emma - I really prefer the real thing.... this waxi-Emmi is....... money-saving. Because I have no need to go to MT next time I am in London.....Eh, who doesn't (prefer the real Emma)? I also have no desire to go there again just to see that figure. But I think they have made real advances. The Hitler figure for example looks like any middle-aged man, completely unrecognizable if it wasn't for some uhm... insignia Link to post Share on other sites

Jonny Carinthia Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 didnt she not get measured for this? As far as we know the real Emma was not part of the project....... Link to post Share on other sites
Junkie. Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 oh my. it doesn't really look like her form some angles. Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Deadpool Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 oh my. it doesn't really look like her form some angles. Agreed. She looks kinda way older in one or two :/ But as others have mentioned already, it is not that bad of a job to be honest, since all they had were some pics and vids. Anyways Emma is so beautiful, that even her wax figure couldn't go wrong. Link to post Share on other sites
trixie Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Many wax figures at MT are are just so bad, like the Dan-one..But I think Emma's is really good. Link to post Share on other sites
The Runner Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 This one, I think...... But it's DANIEL, not EMMA..Daniel looks good in that pictures. He reminds me of the character from the James Bond movie series dressed like that. Link to post Share on other sites
Badab Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 The Runner you are right. Maybe in Some years he can bee Bond ore he can come into a Bond movie^^ But in my opinion the face is not right. His cheeks with these stong winkles look wrong. He reminds me a litte bit of Phil Collins like that^^ And there is a figur of Emma Watson at madame Toussous now, isn´t it? I thougt i read something about it here. Link to post Share on other sites
