Bram Stoker's Dracula | 1/6 Anubis Armor WIP

[HAL9000.]

Also, I may have convinced my brother to 3D print me the cross from this scene – rigged up with mini-fountain parts gushing blood.

Dude, you really shouldn't say that here because people will start begging you to make the cross for everyone. Like me. . . please, please, please

Work of genius man!
Congratulations.

I'll second that, this really is an excellent and ingenious piece of work! I've had the original Horizon model kit for some time and it never occurred to me that it could be transformed into a 1/6 scale figure. I've always been a fan of the Dracula armour design by Eiko Ishioka, and Coppola's film (despite some rather harsh criticism) was a beautifully designed and atmospheric movie.

really great work on this!

Ha ha! We’ll see. It may turn out to be an, ahem, ungodly mess.

Congratulations.

Thanks!

Thanks so much. Couldn’t agree more on Ishioka’s designs and the feel of the film. I came across this while researching and wondered what it was all about:

Thank you!

As far as I can remember, it was one of her designs that wasn't shown in the final film. A costume test.

Like this one I found:



Although, I could be remembering wrong.

THIS is a great book on her work.

She was mega-talented. People may not like the film, but they can't argue about the iconic costumes.

I think that's the coachman's attire.

YES! Well spotted! Just did a screen shot of the movie and I never knew that was Gary Oldman. I've learned something new.

Amazing custom work, thanks for your tutorial.
Ive got the original model but haven't gotten around to doing it.
Always loved the Vlad Burns version..

You inspired me to take a crack at Drac in armor. Although I think you may have been a bit modest regarding cutting up that armor. It's a huge pain. I have some pretty good sized gaps on the back that I'm going to have to sculpt some back armor.

I pretty much copied your photo tutorial and it was a big help. The only difference is, I cut away the Oldman face and grafted it on to a 1:6 scale head and added hair. The molded hair would have been too restrictive I fear.

Thanks for the inspiration!

WOW Keegan, that's really amazing!! I have that same kit, unbuilt still, so I might try my hand at this too eventually. *^___^*

awesome work!

Thanks, man! Really looking forward to getting your Hawkeye!

Woah, that Oldman head looks amazing! Fantastic work. And yeah the armor was a battle. I have those gaps in the back as well but just decided to live with them. Can’t wait to see yours sculpted and painted up. I’ve been to your thread many times and have been totally inspired every time – love that Hugh Glass!

Thanks! Go for it – it’s a fun one.
