Denzel Washington . . . Man on Fire and more...

[uscmhicks]

That would really help brother!

I will order another tie then and get her to work on this after the other

Whats the base colour of the tie?

Ok , heres a few captures , the base colour looks to be a dark beige. Almost like sand. Keep in mind most of these shots are in shadows so it will be a tad lighter than it looks. Over this from what I can see there is 6 blue stripes in pairs close together visible , but these are probably all over the tie , up and down and simply not visible since its tied. Obviously in 1/6 scale we don't have to be this specific but I figured the more detailed I am with this the better.

This is probably as good as were going to get and they have more than ten available. If you agree and want to buy one and try it out that's perfect , if you'd like to buy two ( or more ) then let me know and I'll stick the cash in your paypal for mine. This is of course presuming your girlfriend is willing to kindly give this a shot !.

Also whilst I was getting these I noticed again how grey the suit looked in certain shots.

Vicious could actually be on the money with this one being the closest available in colour to what we need ( without going custom of course ). What I like about it to is the fact it looks a little big just like the one Creasy wears. Unless the head's tiny that is.

This is the ebay store linked to the website showing that suit ( the only place they're going to be available from what I can see ) but it appears they haven't got any of the suits listed other than the black one.
It does mention in the description though that the other suits will be " coming soon ". I just sent him a message asking for a more specific time as to when they might be up for sale.

Obviously this isn't the one I am going to be definitely using , just a possibility for now.

definetly intrested in a man on fire and american gangster head, and it would be great if the shades were removable.

 

[THE JOKER]

How come the american gangster one isnt available to order yet.

 

[uscmhicks]

Yeah , the perfect thing for me would be removable shades as well but personally I'd rather have sculpted shades than none. I just think it's going to be very hard to find a pair that will look right.

Hey, sorry about some of the confusion.

Currently, I've realized that I got a little too ahead of myself.
I originally thought that there would be a big enough interest to have Denzel Washington be a public piece, but I realized some of his likeness aren't as popular (example: long fro version, sunglasses sculpted)

In all actuality, there's not enough interest per version for me to really go ahead and create five different denzel versions ,
though I'd love to. It'd be too expensive for me and take time away from private commissions and the other public pieces that are to come (Edward Norton, Brad Pitt Variations, Mad Max)
Each version means I have to spend a couple hours sculpting the hair and some more money to get molds and castings made.

Therefore, I think I will only release three versions for Denzel:

Training Day/Goatie version. (30 limit)

Man on Fire (short buzz, no sunglasses)(30 limit)

Book of Eli (30 limit)

I would like to do the sunglasses version too since it doesn't seem to difficult, but there aren't enough buyers at the moment for it to even be worth it. However, for most customizers, sculpting on sunglasses isn't too difficult, you just need a little bit of epoxy putty

I will put up the Book of Eli version on the website as soon as I have some pics of the actual modified casting in 1-2 weeks.

I'll keep you all updated though,

 

[uscmhicks]

So which body are you guys planning on using?

Doesn't the HT African American TT only come in slim?

Sorry mate , didn't notice this post last night or I would have replied. You have a point there , I was thinking about using a regular truetype for this guy from the start though since he looks quite broad in the movie. Maybe sanding the shoulders down a little or something.

That's cool. I was actually thinking before , I'm sure there was a site that made glasses and sunglasses in 1/6 scale , anybody know what I'm talking about ?.
I'm suprised this sculpt hasn't had more people in this thread really. I need to get my old laptop back on and bring up that list to pm them all linking them to this thread. I'm sure it will get you another few sales. Half of them have probably missed it , I'll hopefully still be picking up a training day soon too.

 

[THE JOKER]

Ive paid for 2 regular man on fire heads.

No probs bud.

Good point, that may be the best route to take. Especially as the body will be covered.

 

[meth head]

thats what i will go with i think

 

[Cap'n Cook]

^
^ You're going to have to seriously modify the neck then.

 

[meth head]

i thought these come with no neck?

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Oh, sorry. I thought they had sculpted necks on these.

 

[meth head]

Oh, sorry. I thought they had sculpted necks on these.

got me doubting myself then buddy ha ha

 

[LoneWolf]

Wow!! A Denzel sculpt sold to the public, finally!

Who here offers a paint job for Denzel once I get mine? The Training Day & Man on Fire sculpts look awesome!!!

 

[hairlesswookiee]

Nice!! I just preordered the Man on Fire sculpt!! Is the Book of Eli on the site yet or did I just miss it??

~~~Nevermind, I just read Sunoc's post about it not being finished. *** If you decide to make a sculpted Sunglasses version, is there a way I can change my order from the regular to that???***

 

[meth head]

Oh, sorry. I thought they had sculpted necks on these.

Just looked and your right buddy they do come with necks, i am unsure as to why i thought these had no necks

In which case its this all the way for me

 

[uscmhicks]

Yeah , I was thinking about ttl , all these bodies are confusing the hell out of me though. I'm sure I bought one of those last week and recieved something that was totally different.

It does look quite thin though , I think I may use a regular truetype. I'm going to have to modify the hands anyway since I'd like to add the what he calls " birth mark " to his hand.

This is the ebay store linked to the website showing that suit ( the only place they're going to be available from what I can see ) but it appears they haven't got any of the suits listed other than the black one.

where you get a black ht true type dude?

Well. I know they exsist but if I can't find one I might just end up using a white. I can't think why you'd see it anyway.

 

[Cheungkinmen]

Man I can;t wait for the Book Of Eli Denzel! Amazing skills.
