Thanks guys.

I got some more work done on Nysad. I added the remaining arm and leg straps. I also did his boots. I still need to weather the tunic, straps etc. I also want to futz the outfit some so it sits right. He is coming along nicely.

He's coming along amazingly.

 

[Chakaman]

Thanks Tyler.

I know he isn't finished, but I couldn't wait. I wanted to see what he will look like amongst his fellow skiff guards.....

 

[Spudtrooper]

Alright, hold the phone! What did you do to the Gamorean's helmet? That's whats always been missing! I always thought it looked off for some reason. Details....I need them.

Tyler, I dremmelled out the neck hole in the sculpt so the head would sit lower. It basically rests on the shoulders now.





I then repainted the sculpt and added cloth to the back of the helmet....



These mods really help the figure. I am not sure what Sideshow was thinking when they were making him.

It has been a pretty good last couple of weeks. Very happy with the new additions to the collection.

That mod is awesome, man. Can't believe I haven't seen it before. I shall add it to my list. Could I get a shot of your repaint from the front as well?

The shirt was from Ignite Toys Viking. The pants, cannot remeber. Its been a few years. Any tan pants will work really. Hope this helps.

I don't. You will have to look at it and figure it out yourself.

Here are some pics Tyler. Sorry they took so long to post, I had a busy weekend.

I repainted the entire head. The only thing I didn't touch was the eyes.







They look pretty good with the head lowered and a repaint.

 

[Spudtrooper]

Oh awesome. Thanks, man. Yeah they are definitely an improvement.

Great paint work.

 

[asangimeno]

Fantastic job! One question: did you repaint only the heads or the complete bodies?

 

[Chakaman]

Thanks guys.

Thanks. I did not repaint the whole bodies. I lightened up.the paint on the heads, arms and hands only. It was just a light drybrushing on.the arms and hands. I did not feel the need to do the legs and feet.

Starting my mockup for Gotal. Really early stages, just messing around with different stuff. As I look at him, I may need to shorten up the arms a bit.
