After 4 years of collecting funds, a Russian fan club in Moscow is near completion of a new Michael Jackson Statue.
The announcement of the Michael Jackson Monument in Moscow came today on their facebook page.
The project took over 4 years to come to this point with hard work from those fans who have managed to raise over RUR250,000 (nearly £3,000) to start this project. The modeling of the statue took 1 year and a half and you can now see the result here below.
From the initial drawings to the model now made, much more needs to be done to have this statue in bronze on a pedestal in Moscow. The design is taken from Michael Jackson Bad Tour.
You can follow the progress on the Russian Social Network HERE where all the photos, documents and reports are presented to the fans around the world.
The statue is about 2.2 meters high and the plan is to have it on a pedestal bringing the final 3.2 m statue to life.
This project was possible thanks to local fans who spent days in the street dancing to collect the money and also from donations.
The location of this statue is still to be secured and the bronzed statue still need to be made which in total will cost around RUR1 million (around £12,000) without the pedestal. So far they have managed to do and pay for the model in plasticine to be made and to finalise the Bronze they will need another RUR150,000 (around £1,800) to get this done.
The fan club is asking all the fans around the world to make a donation to make this happen!
