Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Oh it will be the Bloody one. The clean was for someone else, my personal version is the battered Bond. I love Battle Damage too much, my whole collection is full of it.

Here are pics of Pix Faramir and Asajj with touched up lips, pre gloss anyway...

Faramir, been there, painted that! And it is a HARD repaint! Glad I did it once too! You did it proud Josh! Very cool paint!

But...Asajj...She is your turf bro! You nailed that Bi#ch yet again! Another amazing score! WOW! Just WOW! Great stuff!

That Luke custom is fantastic

at least it proves there's nothing wrong with the sculpt. And I hated the sculpt..... well done sir!!

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Thanks Darren, that means a lot man. It's a decent sculpt, I still like Andy's version a bit better... But it still works wonders.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Yeah DA, I was the one who posted about dying the coat. Not a good idea, After bleaching it and using color remover I tried to redye it and pretty much all the buttons fell off and a few got lost, as well as the lining completely fell out of one side. In the end for some reason using black dye the coat turned out almost the exact shade of brown I started with anyway. What I finally ended up doing was using chalk pastel mixed in a grey tone and working it into the coat, and stealing a few buttons from the Blackbeard figure. It worked alright and looks a tad more like the film version, but I don't recommend the dying part.
Here's the fixed and chalked up version

Yeah, I passed on Bespin Luke because of the disappointing sculpt (another open mouth stare), but Josh you really do make it come alive. I think the bruising and positioning of the eyes are especially effective.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Thanks a lot Justin. This figure was a dream come true, even though I wasn't all too happy with the sculpt initially either. I love it now, great figure.

I finished another SSE figure today, Vampyre from Nosferatu. The jacket was a challenge. In the candlelit shots you can see the red still but in regular light and in person... it's very minimal. I took some liberties, but I wanted to make this Vampyre my own.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

That's what my wife says...

Me - "Look honey, on ebay here.... I sure would love this Medicom Yoda!"
Wife - "$50 for a toy!!!! sigh... good thing I love you... and it's Christmas..."

I'm only asking cause my wife keeps asking when she sees headless Obi, "where's that $60 head you bought... it better talk to you at night... blah blah blah!"

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Thanks for the comments guys... And for those awaiting shipment... It's ALL going out Friday. I'd do it today, but sadly my bank account is negative and even if I did a transfer... nothing would be available. So just a few more days and it's done.
