I haven't updated this thread in a long long time. I recently found some old pics of the first generation of officers I made. These were posted on another forum. I'm scheduled to do a small run of these after Dredd, Anderson, and Kane. So I figured I'd upload these old pics to revive this thread.
The new version will use the same patterns, but will be more movie accurate since at the time these were originally made -I had very little reference materials. Now - I've got more sources.
I'll set up an interest thread when I'm ready to start the run.
Here are the first generation pics:
I took these pics of my custom THX1138 Detention Officer just before I sold him a couple years ago. I plan to make an updated version at some time since my abilities have improved since I made this version about 5 years ago.
I made him pretty much from scratch. The suit is a combination of pleather and leather. All the studs, baton, and accents in the helmet are metal.
The boots were combination sculpted sole and pleather neck so ankle articulation is complete.
The helmet I sculpted from scratch because there's really no existing 1/6 scale early 70s motorcycle cop helmet out there. Also - the helmet needed to be underscaled to look right on the head.
The head was more involved than appears. The heads in the movie weren't just generic mannequin heads spray painted silver. The relation between the forehead, eyes, nose and mouth was pretty specific.
The body I made from a Medicom body. I had to extent the arms, legs, and torso to give him the creepy tall lanky look of the officers in the movie.
The box is a design I made for a box that I may get around to producing for the new figure.
