Aliens 1/6 gorman

[C.Howes_Sculptor]

Yeah, I'd love to see some "WIP" pics of our Lt. Gorman. It's okay if it's still in the rough stages too. A first glimpse would be great!

Curiously, I just read a quote in a 30 year old SciFi Novel that sums up my policy perfectly....

"Never show a client anything that isn't at least 75% done..." Except I would make it 80%.

From long experience I know that most folks would be very disappointed if not completely disheartened by seeing my work through most of it's evolution. It resembles a chaotic jumble of confusion that only I can see the potential of until very late in the process. Trust me, you'd look at me like I'm crazy!

When I get there I will, of course, be very happy to share and ask for your participation. That's when all of you and I will take it to it's ultimate conclusion, the refinement that will really make him "Gorman". So, keep your eyes and minds warmed up for the final dash to the finish line!

That sounds fair to me Chris. I did painting and drawing in college. So I know where you're coming from about that.

I look forward to seeing your 80% finished Gorman someday soon when you're ready to show him to us.

Won't be too much longer now that I'm working on getting through my list of projects!

If anyone is interested, I have new photos up of Summer Glau as River Tam from Firefly/Serenity on the Summer thread.

I'm almost done with my Aliens Marines Diorama..

 

[JediMike71]

Nice Patrick! Please post pictures of it in your custom thread once you're done. I can't wait to see it completed.

 

[darkchylde80]

*bump* Any tasty morsels of information?

 

[Randy of AFTimes]

Chris-Sorry to be a little nervous, but I put in for a Gorman head and sent Paypal payment back at the end of December and haven't heard anything if you've gotten it.

Any update on that and the sculpt you can give us?

Thanks.

 

[Predatortje]

Hey Everyone!
I hope Chris is making a good progress with sculpting!
Really excited to see a glimp of the head though!
cheers

Damn dude let us see!!

 

[Predatortje]

Yeah almost!
only need to add the tray in the middle and paind it red and add the red plates on the background on the wall and add the grind filter side walks on a plate with the diorama

 

[JediMike71]

Sounds good Patrick. I'm looking forward to seeing it on here.

Hey Guys,

If you want to see the development of a head from start to finish take a look over in the Hugh Laurie thread.

I usually never show the early stages of a sculpt, but some folks have been requesting to see these stages, so this is a one time thing!!

Anyway, take a look....

Sorry for jumping on this thread so late, guys.

I'd be intersted in an unpainted head (havent decided between regular and non-BD head yet) will there be spares going around after this first commission or will I have to wait for the next batch? And can it be modified to fit a BBI body?

Gorman looks like an easily customisable fig so long as you have the head and patches. Would be great to have another non-grunt fig alongside Ripley in my squad.

Found this from the Harry Harris Aliens props collection - the actual shirt worn by actor William Hope (Gorman):

Nice Picture!
I think my 1/6 gorman outfit looks like this though.
My Aliens Diorama is done btw, i've add pictures in the:
My aliens diorama section in the alien/predator forum.

 

[darkchylde80]

Nice work on the dio, can't wait to see how this sculpt turns out.

 

[nicky]

So can I be put on the list for the $20 price?? Or was it only the first 15 people. Am I too late? Predatortje ?

And can it be modified to fit a BBI body? I think Chris is only doing non-BD heads too. Anyone got any ideas on how to make the head-bandage?

No you can still sign up Nicky.
