Arnold Schwarzenegger bronze statues


Arnold Schwarzenegger bronze statues 

  The Terminator star and former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger commisioned a series of bronze statues of himself.  According to reports, the statues are in "heroic" scale and are roughly one-and-a-quarter times life size (8 feet). The inspiration for the statues is the 22-inch sculpture created by artist Ralph Crawford in 1980. Oregon-based bronze-worker Tim Parks is pouring the metal for the larger pieces.
According to Parks, Arnold is keeping "one for himself" while another will be sent to the Schwarzenegger museum in Thal, Austria; a third statue will be purchased by Crawford.
