Asmus Toys : Aragorn thread

Serge, that Aragorn face looks photo-realistic in your pic!

There's a specific iPhone filter I use when I post pictures up, I think that's what did the trick.

I added some gloss to the face to give it a little more definition.

I just got the idea...
I have a second screaming sculp to Aragorn that I do not care about so I was thinking that I take the hair sculpt of that one, cut out and peel all the hair out so I am left only with the round add on that attaches to the face and then try the hair mod on that. So I can switch both the original plastic and the moded wig on the face sculpt.
Does anybody know if both regular and screaming sculpt have the same attachment system on the face?

Everyone bashed the ACI for having real hair. Now look.

I know, funny right?

In the case of both Asmus and ACI, I think the criticism was directed less at whether they chose scuplted vs. rooted hair and more towards how each was executed. My favorite Asmus Aragorn mod is still Dave Navarro's, which features a reshaped hair scuplt. Likewise, most of the out of the box/untrimmed pics of ACI's Aragorn look like he stepped out of a 1980s music video.

Navarros is really good

Does anybody know the best way to cut plastic? I'd love to try this with my discarded hair piece. I like the real hair look best but it would be cool to have options

The hair is really soft plastic. I would think an exacto knife would do the job.

Considering this, too. I don't think I have the courage to try hairing mine, but this kind of mod might be more my speed.

Personally, I think Asmus needs a lot of work regarding how they sculpt hair. They look muddy and lack detail. That is why I am happy when they decide to do real hair on their headsculpts.

Got my new custom bag end door the other day. Looks great behind aragorn. Can't wait for merry and pip!

Finally got this guy in and have to say he's really, really nice. All of the accessories and details are excellent - the green jewels, the arrows, the stitching. So much fun to get him set up and all put together. I do have a few mods in mind:

- My main gripe is the shininess of his coat. Going to try to dull it down somehow (vinegar + water? Matte medium? Not sure yet)
- Find/make the black cloth that's wrapped around his arrows (an odd omission considering it's in the picture on the box )
- Dye his cloak to a more Strider green and remove the Lorien brooch
- General weathering - especially the boots
- And yeah, the hair. I really dig some of the haired mods people have done - cman's is awesome - but I just prefer sculpted. Hoping the piece can be lowered, reshaped and then painted darker. We'll see.

All in all though, he's a kick*** figure and I'm happy to have him. Should be a lot of fun to mess around with a bit. I've never considered army-building before but I really wouldn't mind a pack of Dúnedain at his back.

I agree on all points
