Let me make this point perfectly clear....
When I do get this one going, it is not limited to my worries about how to sculpt it, nor even how to cast it up...it is to not be limited at all in obtaining the Bruce bust we all want. SO, that being said, STOP FRETTING about how I do this!
It will be done!
Put another way...
We have just received some of the most incredibly badass headsculpts, in the history of 1/6 collecting. We are some lucky ba$tards! LUCKY! And to top that off, cap it, COMPLETE it, we need equally nice Bruce busts. Not hack work, not compromised sculpts, not something made to be CHEAP and AFFORDABLE, just cool ass sculpts of our boy, BRUCE, busting his multi-toothed maw up and into our recently acquired Jaws boy's faces!
Firstly,
it must be true 1/6 scale.
Secondly,
it must be shelf worthy in size, posability, and compatibility with our figures, standing, chaired, Orca'd or whatever.
Thirdly,
It must be a well sculpted and painted, and visually as accurate as our Trevor headsculpts, so as not to lower the set in any way possible
And of course, Fourthly,
It must kick all the ass in the room!
Folks must say, DAMN! CHECK THAT OUT! When they see it. That is what happens now, with the Three, so it must occur simultaneously with the busts.
What will be taken into account is this:
It will take time. I need to warm up. I want to finish my SS Maquette rework, and let that lead me into a fresh sculpt to come later. Get that repair out of my system, and let me think what to do.
It will cost some money. I will need to sculpt it, render it in parts, make teeth that match those in Bruce, which I can due to some nice images I have, and then I must be able to mold it all.
To save costs, it can be a kit, offered only to US, not outside anywhere. It must be under the same safety and security guidelines as our bond with Trevor.
NO OUTSIDE SALES or
showing of it anywhere! I am not prepared to deal with that at all. I just want to compliment OUR Jaws sets, and that is all.
So, it may be a kit, that guys like Mikey and Josh and others can build and paint themselves. It will also be a
partially built kit, unpainted, and it will be offered of course as a
full-out built and painted bust. Again, I will make mine, paint it, and show it here. It will all take time.
To save us all unneeded costs, I will eat a lot of that myself, as long as you guys can help me get the materals, and at least pay SOME towards the head being built and/or painted if that is how it is finished. But, I know, among us, I will never recoup the true cost, any more than Trevor has recouped what he has done for us. We both love doing this, so for this group, it is the fun of the project that feeds it.
That means, it will be pretty cheap considering. Still, I will need to realize true costs and find out what to do. Also means learning to mold and cast this thing, and that may mean getting Josh to come up and we both do it all in one weekend. Something like that.
But, IT CAN BE DONE! No outside casters! I don't trust anyone with this! Not this time. Not anymore.
So, patience, and desire are our friends here. IT WILL GET DONE! It must. LOOK AT THESE FIGURES! It is obvious!
Hang in there, and be supportive, and this will go on and we will finish our dream sets.
More as I know it.
