Figuremaster Les' Figural Fabrications

[Buttmunch]

That gleam in those eyes are what does it for me... they have so much life in them!

That is so true. Les is very good at bringing eyes to life. On my Joker I can just see the wheels turning in his head plotting his next move. It really is creepy.

 

[Les Walker]

Thanks Buttmunch. Glad you are that happy with him.

Coated in dremel dust this morning. Boring out necks for heads and then doing some painting before dear darling Sis and her brood come into town for my cousin Ellen's wedding tomorrow. Ellen? You say? Who is that? Why, the fine young thing that is supposed to have come and had HER PIANO removed from my overcrowded room...that's all. So I get to go and smile and be all happy and enjoy that it will be more time before she and her new hubby get back from whatever wonder spot they are going to, so she can come and get that thing out of my space so I can finish my own work.
I am happy for her, really, but I would be much happier if it were already gone.
It is holding up my bringing work stuff back into my midway cleaned room.

Oh well, I hope I can toast her dearly departed mom whom I miss. I'll get pics. You gotta see Ellen. Cute!! I'm a proud cousin.

Anyway, painting and dremeling and trying to keep all the heads going. Finishing some really soon.

Preordered the Hot Toys Wolf with cleaner kit (for that wicked chestburster too! Thanks SS!) and am rethinking my preorders....is anyone else doing this? What with Dark Knight and Ironman coming soon....I'm re-evaluating just how badly I want more Star Wars stuff...
Anyway, new pics and three new vids very soon.

 

[Reinhardt]

great update Les. So, have you let Ellen clearly know that you want the piano out of your house?

i hear you on rethinking my pre-orders... and for the exact same reason as you... Hot toys Dark Knight and Ironman! I've also started thinking more about what i need to sell. with those figs, plus the new Dallas and Kane figs, and then the Cinemaquette Predator, oh wait, AND Sideshow Indy... well, my wallet is about ready to throw in the towel.

 

[JediMike71]

I agree guys! I am starting to cut down my collection to exactly what I want to keep. I've been selling some of the Sideshow Star Wars 12" figures I've collected to board members here. So, I'm in the same situation you guys are. I've gotta start saving up for the exclusive Raiders Indy I pre-ordered from Sideshow soon. What? A Hot Toys Dark Knight Batman? Oh boy. I'm very tempted about that one since I don't have a Christian Bale Batman yet.

Les, that Joker head is all kinds of awesome. The way you painted it just makes it so interesting to look at. Very cool stuff.

 

[JediMike71]

Hey Jeff ("die")! How are you? I haven't talked to you in a while. Been making any more customs lately?

 

[eighthsamurai]

hells yeah les. everything has changed for me. having to sell some old stuff too like maybe a shock trooper and medi vader. then giving up any and all new SS SW stuff. giving up wolf pred, medi wicket. milk, cereal. regular shaving. buses. new underwear. hot water. focusing on upcoming TDK and iron man stuff only. and gandalf. and any pred 1 stuff that might get released.

Yeah, be prepared to give up limbs for this stuff!
Too much coming at one time. Good time to be a collector though! It's nice when you can actually choose what you want out of scores of stuff!

BIG Wedding today. Kids in the house . Ma's BP is high. Long day. I'll check in later.
All is well. For now. I hope.

 

[Customikey]

Good luck, Les. I've had a fair amount of crazy in my life, and I know it can be tough to deal with.

 

[captain sack]

don't forget the...............

 

[Les Walker]

don't forget the...............

Don't forget???.....like I can! NO WAY!

Here's where today's attention was...
Sorry, gotta show cute lil Ellen off...what a beautiful bride she made. I took this shot right when I got to the church...they were just finishing some prenuptual shots and I got lucky and got this one before getting seated....

See why I can't be too mad at her for not getting the piano yet. She is the spitting image of her mom, who was remembered at the ceremony with a single candle that was lit near the altar...

And here is my whole family, sans Ma and Pa of course, who were both home. This pic was for Ma. Note the cuties in my family! I cannot be related to them... Oh, and me in a suit! What a joke! I don't like ties!

Anyway, enough of that.
Back to business soon. Just thought you folks would get a kick out of these.

I wish I could have snapped all the incredibly fine babes that were there! I had my tongue hanging out all day! Stunning women there!
I gotta get out more often!

Ok, enough! Be back soon with work!

 

[JediMike71]

That's a great looking family you have there Les! Yeah, weddings tend to be a great time of joy and a chance for family to get together. I'm glad that you had a chance to get away from your grind, and enjoy it!

 

[small_studios]

Good times!!:chew

 

[paulcarson]

Looking very "dapper" Les ! Glad you enjoyed your day !

You were certainly correct when you said that she was a cutie !

 

[uscmhicks]

I don't wanna spend money on a suit , I want more toys !!!

 

[Gruff Old Bear]

Hey Les, you know what? You clean up real good....

 

[pjam]

You look good, Les.

 

[ragacin]

Hey Les,
I recall you posting a pic of the Hot Toys POTC:AWE figure of Liz after you took her clothes off and sanded the seamlines. I can't find it in this mega thread nor in the POTC thread. Can ya PM or post it again?
Your PM box is full again

Thanks man!

Thanks man!

I think I deleted those after Photobucket banned them as innapropriate. Imagine that. Anyway, I'll look and see if I have them still and if not, will take new ones and email them to you.

PM box is open. Don't forget I have had to rejoin a couple of times due to internet weirdness, so the only member name I go by now, and PM box I can access anymore, is Les Walker. Figuremaster Les or any variation name from the early days of my thread are dead site names, with full and inaccessible inboxes. Only Les Walker is free to PM me by. Or my email, [email protected]

Anyway, long weekend over. Pics soon. This one wore me out. No partying so much as just lots of Ma stuff. Ellen (the cutie that got married) is my cousin Pam's youngest daughter, and Pam died some years back, and she was one of my Mom's favorite family members. All that pentup emotion and it's release due to all this, was rough on Ma and her blood sugar and blood pressure got REALLY high due to all that. Cool thing was, a bunch of the family came over yesterday to see Ma, and it was very good for her. It just all wore me and my Dad out. Long, long hours of family....and it's always stressful when my sister brings her boys down from Atlanta. They are energy powerhouses. Anyway, I gave them some of the garage sale loot that didn't sell. The boys loved that. Star Wars stuff mostly.

So, back to it. Hope to have pics by this evening.
And I'll see about that naked Liz stuff for you Ragicin.
I can only imagine what you need them for....

 

[Ironman1188]

And I'll see about that naked Liz stuff for you Ragicin.

Ok, I am officially curious. I need to see these "pix" as well. For purely professional reasons of course.
