Trent Taft's bust of Andre the Giant is sure to leave you doing a double take.
The New York-based special effects artist and wrestling fan spent months working on the sculpture to ensure it was as life-like as possible, including individually placing each strand of hair.
"Hyper-realistic sculpture is very labor-intensive and requires numerous steps including sculpting, molding, casting, painting, hair work, etc," Taft told Tyler Schmall of Mashable. "Hair alone consists of putting each strand in one by one to make it seem flawlessly growing out of the silicone skin."
Here's the finished product:
