1/6 POTC - SWToys x Tough Guys FS046 Lord of the Caspian Sea (Barbossa)

[HAL9000.]

I found this a while back. There's a whole article about this and the artist online.

The guy who produced this CGI version also sells the headsculpt files, but I've not yet asked/checked to see how well they'd print in my resin printer.

Always thought the lapels were leather but seems like I was wrong.

I've gone for one without buttons aswell so I can add custom ones. However very happy with how they look.

Seriously guys those custom coats and other additions look incredible and if any of you have a spare one you want to get rid of one I'm more than interested

HS hairing doesn't look as good as they showed before, but guess that's lighting.

Captain Ginger Beard.

Sculpt itself still looks good.


However, at $650 that's a hard pass from me. Plus, shipping is not inluded. Deal breaker

Starting to look like an old Hans Gruber as a pirate.

I have to say on closer inspection, that head is looking mighty tiny.

Oh, yeah.

I just started this sculpt this afternoon so it's still very much a work in progress. Still working on structures to get it right in all angles and trying to figure out what expression I want him to have. I may have overdone the textures a bit, but again, those will probably be reworked once I finalize the sculpt.

 

[HAL9000.]

What an amazing start. You did that in one afternoon? It takes pros many hours. Great job.

Thanks for the compliment. Yes, it will probably take many more hours to finish this, but I usually can “sketch” things out fairly quickly, but the refining work is when the likeness starts coming out more.
This is certainly much faster than when I sculpt in clay. It takes me a couple of hours just to make a base head with very little features.
Plus I can save various stages of my work with 3D sculpting. I can’t do that with clay where I have to sometimes restart a portrait sculpt from scratch several times.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I'm beginning to see a pattern with you and your talent.

Yes, I'm a Jack of all trades but a master of none

So I had a bit of time this evening and took the sculpt back to basics so I can get the likeness of Geoffrey Rush tuned in before adding details. I think I'm getting there, I just need some more quality reference pictures of his profile so I can get that figured out on the sculpt.
I still haven't decided what expression to make, but I do want to try a more wide eyed smiling version as an option.

I think a fairly neutral one for the main sculpt would work best because he has such an interesting face anyway. His left eye is lower and narrowed.

It could be well worth checking out 4K screen grabs because studio shots can be photoshopped.

If you don't have the movies in 4K, here's one site where you can download screen grabs. There are others.

On a related note, I thought this was fun - 1/6 scale and made of putty.

 

[VashDStampede]

I haven't had much time to work on the sculpt since I'm back to my normal full time work schedule, but I think I have the majority of the structure of the face in place so I can start working on the asymmetry now to get that Barbossa look to him.

 

[MajorSam]

I've been working on creating a new outfit for my husbands Barbossa and its my first attempt at 1/6th scale costumes and I find the process wonderful! I've remade the boots from fine suede and polished them down to a worn leather look. The pants are breeches style finishing below the knee with a working fly front as seen on the real costume. The shirt is made in a true 18th century cut with gussets under the arms and a bias cut collar.

 

[HAL9000.]

Great work!

Ok guys got something in the pipeline. How would you feel about a updated sculpt?

Sculpts will be $80 painted bald and possible Sculpted hair if anyone wants that. Need to hit between 10 - 20 people.

Here's some examples of the artist work.

If interested we'll pick an expression.

I'm interested.

 

[FlyAndFight]

$80 bucks painted? Count me as interested.

 

[HAL9000.]

Ah, I know this artist. A hand-sculptor, rather than digital.

I'd be interested, pending final.

 

[Godfather1408]

Show of hands who would want a new coat and also how much would you say is a fair price?

 

[HAL9000.]

Me. $50.


In all seriousness, I want to get a sculpt first. I don't see value in a better coat until I have that part sorted. Besides, the fair price would be down to who is doing it and what it offers above what's standard.
