Figuremaster Les' Figural Fabrications

[Les Walker]

Thanks so much guys.

... its good to have a break , working too hard will make you ill. Through staying up countless nights and working hard I ended up in hospital for a month , have a break now and then bro.
Its well deserved when producing unforgettable work such as this.

My motivation is my break. I will admit. But, I am stoked to see these all in the hands of owners now. Too long have they sat here, in states of unfinishment, staring out at me, angrily. I need them in their proper places, making folks happy.
I have dreams about this work now. These must therefore, go!
So, I am doing all I can to see to that. Even if it means long hours a day.

Thanks for the thought and support though. I am tired, but happier by the day. I can't wait to see this bottleneck break at last. Things are looking good for so many of you now. I promise I won't let it get this backed up again.

More to come!

Man alive, dude. I'm nearly broke, but after seeing your heads I checked out the current going rate of the base Joker figure. Damn. Someday. Someday. Enjoy those heads, fellas!!

Thanks for the beret buddy! Now, I get to shoot my drippy head with one on first! (Still wanna see it all on a body and in context of course..)
Much obliged!

This is amazing. The perfect Jack as Joker is in that picture. The beret just makes even more so.

 

[superdoug]

yeah that jack is fantastic. The hall of joker heads is a little freaky though. maybe you should show a picture of your joker holding one of the other heads. it would be amusing.

"Wait 'til they get a load of me"!

I love your Joker heads Les! I swear they look like you cut off old Jack's head! They look that realistic! Astounding work as usual my friend!

 

[Mooncat]

Have to say Les there brilliant and the even more amazing thing is theres so many ! and there all spot on !

 

[bwayne]

Lots to ship this week!
I am still working on Bwayne's others, hope to ship those out later in the week

Excellent.

 

[Toast]

i just saw that joker on the first page and yea is amazing

 

[metaphorge]

Those Joker hads are turning out gorgeously Les... can't wait to have mine, and now I almost wish I'd gotten a tanned one to go with the runny and white faced ones I did get.

 

[Brent72]

That is just scary good, Les. You never cease to amaze me.

 

[PsychoCenobite]

Hey Les!

Would be okay to see some photos of your brushes and any other equipment you use?

I'm thinking of buying a head to paint myself and I need to buy brushes and paints.

My next question is about paints - what are the best to get? And what are the basic colours you'd use for a white male? Do you use a white base paint?

Thanks,

PsychoCenobite

 

[Customikey]

Les is so talented, he does all this with only one paint- raw sienna.

 

[JediMike71]

What about painting eyes Les? I had asked you about that a long time ago. I have resorted to painting them with toothpicks, and it's really tough! What size and type of brush(es) do you use for eyes? Do you use a size "0" brush? What color of acrylics do you use for the eyes? How do you do it? Please let me know. I'm sure other board members would like to know your procedure for painting those great realistic looking eyes! Thanks!

 

[Roc74]

You know the smallest sized brush I can find in the art stores is 0/20. I wonder if they make any smaller. I have hard enough time with the 0/20 though, but im not to sure its due to the brush being to big, but rather my lack of skill to wield it.

Also do not know if any you guys who have painted 1/6 eyes noticed this, but its always easier painting one then the other, To me I think its easier painting the right eye then the left eye.

Oh Les, Man you are like a machine, all those Joker heads are painted perfectly, aawesome job.

 

[Les Walker]

I'll PM or email you guys when I get the chance on that paint info, as I am pretty snowed under with work at the moment to be able to post that much. But I will try to help you out where I can.


Shipping news!
Spent all day packing out a lot of stuff today, mostly loose Jokers and some sets, and shipped not a minute before closing time at the Post Office! Talk about your French Connection driving style! I was all behind buildings and in and out...kinda fun actually...anyway, LOTS shipped today!
Many of you are emailed and I will be shipping a few more tomorrow that I didn't get out today, and then again, about this time every week til the end of the month. So, if your stuff isn't out now, it will be in the coming weeks.
It takes ALL DAY to just pack up stuff! To do it right that is.

Anyway, hope all you getting your stuff enjoy it when it hits.

Back to the painting grindstone again! Much more to start and try to finish for my month's end deadline!
