I'm done with the body, nunchukas, bracelet and bamboo stick. Here's some pics. The headsculpt with hair is done, too - just waiting for the resin to cure, but won't be able to paint the head til I'm back from HK. I'm making 5 copies of the head in order to play around with the painting. The head in the pics is an earlier sculpt - not the final one.

Still looking for yellow leather for the sneaks.

The body is a Art S Buck upper and Medicom legs. But I pretty much had to reshape everything to get the right Bruce physique. I also made a latex body suit to contain joint filler material so that the fabric jumpsuit looks more filled in at the joint areas.

The arms you see and the feet will be eventually replaced with latex rubber poseable limbs. If the rubber doesn't work - I'll likely do away with the wrist joint and have solid plastic lower arms.

The nunchukas and bamboo stick are carved from wood. The strap on the nunchukas and the bracelet is leather. The bracelet is adjustable. The bamboo stick is stained green and lacquered. I didn't have a reference pick of the stick, but I designed it based on a bamboo cane my friend has. I don't like the rubbery look of the EB one - or the color.

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone. See you guys on the bounce back.

Here's a pic of the second to final HS. The brows and pupils are testing markings. The eye's in the sculpt are just empty sockets. I'm inserting separate pieces for the eyeballs after the final HS is painted. I decided to go with a slightly pissed off Bruce - with some subtle physical injuries - bruising, etc.

The body shape looks really good. Mind sharing how it looks like naked?? :lol

Good job BTW.
 
Thanks, KG!

Hehe - I'd rather not post pics of him neked. For one thing - it's not pretty. Looks like frankenstein in traction. lol

I'll post pics of the finished figure sometime in December, though.

wow harsh honesty, but a valid opinion.that isnt even the final sculpt so theres still improvement to be had, and i like the body, its good to see someone realy creative with customs, love it man.

Man. You've got to be some 6-year-old on your pop's computer. LOL

I was just telling some of the other freaks how I'd bet anything that you would be the first to make a snide comment.

Not that it matters. But thanks for the input. :)
 
Thanks, rabidwolverine21. It's hard to tell from the pic of the HS because it's super hard to light sculpey models, but I think the HS is pretty close to looking like Bruce from GOD. It will look much better with a good paintjob and some eyeballs instead of sockets.

And when all said and done - it will cost me only about $80. So I take Anasskin's comment as a compliment: it IS a cheapo Enterbay ripoff LOL.
 
I'm gonna *try* to pick up an EB while in HK - if I can find a good price for it. But I doubt it.

It truly IS the best mass produced Bruce Lee figure available currently. The Medicom that is coming out early next year looks to be pretty good, too.

lol. I didn't say your opinion isn't valid. I said I knew you would voice it in a snide way.

No worries, dude. Your opinion has been documented, and I thank you for it.
