Anyone intrested in commissioning a 1/6 Billie Piper sculpt?

[BillyB]

Kabukiman,
Like my updated quote. I've got one project I've got to get done and then I'll count you and pixletwin in for a cast.
Anyone got any good suggestions on how to cast this one?
I've done several male heads that have standard necks, but this one was made using a female art s buck styled head. No neck, but the hair goes past the jawline. The only solution I can think of is to pour a 1 piece cast but make my opening at the top of the head, or try a 2 part mold with air channels leading up from the hair?
Any suggestions?

Unfortunately, I know exactly nothing about casting heads

Ditto.

I've learned quite a bit just through trial and error, so I'll give it a shot.

is it too late for me to get on this bus?

 

[Gruff Old Bear]

You can count me in for one too, Billy.

I've never tried a two-part mold. The easy way to do this as a one-part "cup" mold would be to fashion a slender neck/pouring channel, which would be dremeled and drilled away later. (Wear a respirator!) You'd probably still need to vent that hair though. Looks as though it'd make a fine air trap.

count me in for a cast too if possible!

 

[BillyB]

Thanks for the casting tips Gruff! I might have to contact you for a little more information.
I'll gather up some casting materials this week and try to get a mold put together next weekend.
Once I get a good cast, I'll take up a list of everyone who is interested.

Thanks,
BillyB

We should start a set of Who sculpts...... and commission someone like Trev, or andy to do them ....

If someone ever starts offering the classic Doctors and companions-definitely. Since I've been reading The Ten Doctors I've started to get the itch for Classic figures again.

Rose, not so much. Sarah Jane or Romana II, absolutely.

Great idea!. These would be my top 3 picks from each era
Nu-Who
1.Rose Tyler
2.Captain Jack Harkness
3.The Master

Classic
1.4th Doctor (Tom Baker)
2.3rd Doctor (Jon Pertwee)
3.Sarah Jane Smith

Personally I'm so not bothered about Rose, but I've always wanted some really good Who sculpts.

I'd love the following

1)Capt Jack
2)Tom Baker's Doc
3)Pertwee's Master
4)Tennants Master
5)Sarah Jane Smith

I'd be sooo up for paying for any of those to be done. Particularly Jack and either of the Masters.

Hi Everyone. Not sure if all of you have spotted my thread in the customs section but I am currently working my way through all of the classic doctors.

So far I have done Mccoy, Tom and Captain Jack.

I am almost finished on Patrick Troughton and then am doing Jon Pretwee and Paul McGann. I was going to tackle a Rose but seeing as BillyB has done her I dont want to step on his toes. Though may try one at some point maybe I will make my version to fit on the CO body as its a very good figure.

current sculpting order I am doing so far is.

Tom. DONE
Sylverster DONE
Captain Jack DONE
Patrick DONE
Jon STARTED
Paul
Rose
Delgado Master
Colin
William
Peter
Ainley Master.

Anyway. If you have any more wants or needs or other characters give me a shout. If I get more than one call for a certian character I will bump it up my list. The most expensive part of making a figure is the mould. so I need more than 2 people wanting a cast to make it worthwhile. I wont charge for the actual sculpt as I love doing them and its all good for my practice. So as long as I get more than two people wanting one then its all go.

The Mould is done on the three pictured above so if you want a cast just give me a shout. either by PM but preferebly by email to [email protected].

Take care.

Dean,
Great job on the sculpts. I would love to see Colin Baker move up on your list and how about the Brigadier? And don't worry about stepping on any toes. Do your Rose.

Hiya BillyB. Great news I will probably bump Colin up there then Oh yes and I forgot to add Brigadier to the list to. He is definitly a must.

Cool regarding Rose too. I will probably do mine to fit a character Options Martha figure so it will be different to yours anyway. Cheers Buddy.

DarkAngelDTB,
Just a suggestion but how about doing your Rose with a different hairstyle to BillyB's?

Yeah, thats a good Idea. What I thought of doing was maybe doing a bald Rose then I could do several versions of her with different hair styles.

Cheers

No problem! I'd also like to see a Brigadier sculpt at some point.

Just a quick update on my Doctor Who heads.

2nd and 3rd Doctors are done. Rose is almost there too. I will be making moulds of them this weekend so if anyone wants a cast of either of these three give me a shout.

Put me down for a cast of the Jon Pertwee head,it looks awesome, I'll probably be intrested in a cast of Rose as well.

 

[dwing]

I want a Rose but would like to see one painted up first.

 

[Ironman1188]

I'll take all 3, and..did the first 3 ship out?
