TTC Beard
The date was March 29th, 1987. The place was the Pontiac Silverdome in Michigan. The event was Wrestlemania III. The slam heard around the world Hulk Hogan picking up Andre the Giant and slamming him to the mat. It was a feat of strength that had folks from all four corners of the globe talking. You can re-live this moment with the help of these awesome 3D prints by Gino Cruz. Andre & Hogan will be appearing at CUSTOMANIA next weekend at ToyConUK (York Hall, Bethnal Green).
Gino Cruz has used Zbrush to sculpt both Hogan & Andre and printed them in 3D before painting them. Andre stands at 8inches tall, whilst Hogan stands at 7inches. Both super light, as you’d imagine with 3D prints.
Below you will see Andre in his 3D infancy, before sanding, polish, paint and assembly!
We know you haven’t got all night to be watching Hulk Hogan defend his WWF World Heavyweight Championship against Andre the Giant at Wrestlemania III, so we have included the highlights below. To even watch Hulk slam Andre (1:28) is really impressive. This was the pinnacle of 1980’s WWF wrestling. Well worth watching.
