Braveheart William Wallace custom

[Lord Vicious]

I'm back guys. Went on holiday for a few days (to Venice). Good to see some great progress in this thread. Loving the sword!

Payment from Lord Vicious received)))

Great news!!! Can't wait to see the armor, Vold!

(PS A big thank you again to JIM007 for helmping me with the payment)

heres the pic of more full hair on the sides....i emailed him and told him more hair detail

Looking good, but there's still something missing about the likeness; can't seem to put my finger on it. Face seems too smooth somehow?

 

[Lord Vicious]

Oh, and some interesting news. I found a guy who makes actual 1/6 kilts. He's shown interest in doing a Braveheart one. His standard kilts are made with an interior snap and two exterior leather straps and metal buckles, for just 15$.

I'll let you guys know if this person is on board for our project

Well, I emailed him again yesterday, so I'm hoping he'll get back to me soon. Will let you guys know then.

I'm also waiting on the result of my order with Spoonflower. I sent in the high-res design JIM007 made, to be printed on cotton...

I agree. Straight on the bridge of nose is to thick. Face is a little narrow to. I know it seems petty, but it's just throwing it off.

Yes, I would say: face is too long and narrow, nose bridge too big, face needs more texture (lines, pores, stubble). WIth some changes this sculpt can be awesome

 

[Boondocksaint]

Ill tell him. I'm not sure any major changes can be done like that

 

[Boondocksaint]

Email sent. I'm pretty sure hell try. But I don't want to ruin the likeness already there.

 

[Lord Vicious]

Thanks mate!

You think the sculptor would also be willing to a bald one once this one is ready?

 

[Boondocksaint]

No bald. I'm sending the sculpt to caster then having another sculptor familiar w neckless hot toys to cut the Neck off.

 

[JIM007]

MORE important i think is to add lines, pores, stubble on the sculpt

i think likeness is pretty good and with a good paint it will be ansolutely gorgeous

 

[JIM007]

just a quick photoshop paint up
nothing great
just to get an idea

 

[Boondocksaint]

Do blue war paint.

Great! Thanks man...

Do blue war paint.

Looks good but highlights that the bridge of the nose is definitely too broad?

 

[Boondocksaint]

bridge is being thinned out

texture being added to the skin and jawline being rounded out...

By the way, I heard back from the kilt guy; this was his answer:

Hi Koen - I'll be happy to craft that kilt. Thanks for the picture, I appreciate the reference point. I can't print fabric, so I'll have to check the fabric stores this weekend to see if there's a suitable commercial tartan available, if so, I will let you know and provide a picture for your approval. Thanks for the heads up on the Sideshow board, if I can get this going, I will definitely check it out. If you can provide me with a circumference on that waist, I'll be happy to see what I can do.

If he can find some suitable commercial tartan, we'll have two options for the kilt: make one ourself using the exactpattern printed on fabric, or getting a ready-made one, using near-exact fabric...

 

[Boondocksaint]

i doubt he will find a match but heres hoping he does,,,,

any word on the printed kilt?

 

[Lord Vicious]

any word on the printed kilt?

Not yet; the processing takes about 5-10 days and then it still needs to be shipped all the way to Belgium
