Where are Bob Bottin's sculptures??????
In "Terror Takes Shape", Clark mentions how elaberate and detailed Rob's sculptures were. I guess these were for Norwegian Split-Face and Jed-Thing. I was wondering, what happend to these props after filming?? I seriously doubt that something worked on with such dedication and love would simply be destroyed or discarded by the studio. Or at least I would think Rob would have photographed them from numerous angles. He would have obviously had every reason to be proud of them. Anyone know were such pics could exist??? Or were these props ever on display anywhere??? When I watch Blair do the autopsy on Jed-Thing, sometimes I wish I could examine that sculpture. We don't see enought of it. Help, anyone????

Bob Burns might have some of them.

Bob is a guy who people give movie props to rather than having them destroyed. He runs basically a museum out of his home. He has some of the rarest props of all time. http://bobburns.mycottage.com/
