Figuremaster Les' Figural Fabrications

[Les Walker]

Hi Mike. Sorry you missed that info. It was a small blurb. Been lots going on here at home. Not sure what to think of it all anymore. So, work keeps me from being too wired.

As for your stuff, I hope, but I am focusing mostly on stuff that predates your's so it may be later then this weekend. Can't do everyone's at one time. There's only one of me! LOL!
Anyway, I am trying. Your Bats are not much to fix, so they may be soon. Hang tight. The Superman series will still be a bit delayed, as I am trying to gather some parts still. Long set those. And your's is no easier, with the body redo. So again, hang in there, all will come soon enough!

Thanks bro.

Okay, yeah, I know the two Keaton Batman kits were just some paint touchups you were doing for me on them. How about my Hicks head? It's in the batch you're working on now isn't it? That's fine about Superman. I know they'll be some work going into that to make the body for him work out. Get back to me when you can Les. Take care.

Billy's a pretty regular member here. He's on vacation for a while, but he'll be back after the 4th week.

Got further on a BUNCH of heads this weekend, but none complete enough to photo yet. I hope to have some shot within the next day or so.

I have an eye exam this afternoon late, so that will help me a lot by getting my glasses prescription updated for the first time in a year. LOL! Been using super mag glasses to see details better, so that appt comes at a great time in the midst of all my current work.

Must announce this, I decided to sell one of my precious Hot Toys Predators. Yes, the circle is now broken...I sold the AVP Predator Elder, the one I repainted to such abandon a year or so ago. But, I knew I could part with him, and one other of the set perhaps, ever since getting the P2 Elder, my true favorite, that I will NOT ever sell if I can ever help it! (Also, I will NOT be selling the P2, Wolf, Celtic or Scar, so please don't ask! )
So, I will shoot some pics of the Elder today, and ship him off to his new owner soon. I will be keeping most of my set though, so Pred fans, no fears I am parting with my collection. I was just made an offer I couldn't refuse, on a figure I felt I could actually part with.
Anyway, congrats and a hearty thanks to the new owner for his purchase. May your personal Pred collection be a more fulfilling one now.

I will be selling off some other types of figures, that I just don't have room for anymore, or that safely ride in stored boxes, as they just are not a part of my future collection mindset plans anymore. One set I may part with entirely is my SS Buffy set, which I haven't posted much, but are all mostly reworked and repainted, so any interested parties feel free to Pm or ask me about them. I'll post a full list in the Sales area soon.

More late "Spring" cleaning will continue soon. (I do need more room!)

Headshots to come!

Back to work!

 

[galactiboy]

Congrats on the sale Les! And congrats to the new owner... that Pred really showed what could be done, he or she, definitely got a piece of customizing history.

Beautiful tribute page Les.

Still can't believe I got one of these. So perfect its untrue.

 

[Les Walker]

Thanks GB. It was not an easy one to let go, let me tell ya! But, now that I have, I may let a few other things go to just tighten up to what I REALLY want to keep. I don't need so many. Even if I move soon, I don't want to have too many handy to fill up all available shelf space. I may yet get a Tumbler... So, shelves and boxes must be lightened!

Work related:

Here are some sorta kinda inprogs, showing better how much volume I have going on, and except for the Bale and Joker head rack one, I took that one Saturday, the rest are further along than these pics...


Here is the rack o heads, with about half the new Ledgers cast up, with even more to come. No hurry on them, as they won't get done til late August anyway. This is almost all the Bales. This rack doesn't hold the Hudsons and the Reeses, so there are more not shown here...

And a shot of my table from a week or so ago (I have it cleared off at present, to work primarily just on Hicks heads) but you can see most of them and some of the others, so I thought this would be an informative shot.

Forgive the secrecy bars, but those I can't show you all yet.
Sorry! You'll see later on!


Not shown are any heads attached on bodies, and more specialty items, like putty heads etc. LOTS to do! So now you all can see why it takes me a while.

But, making progress at long last! More new shots to come!
Thanks again to all for your patience.

You tease you, Les!

Dude, I got so much going on here at home, sometimes I don't know if I'm battin' or catchin'!
Don't mean to so much TEASE, as to inform. But I will try to get those done so you all can see them soon.

No totally Les, I like the way you have done that. Just gets me excited to see what else you'll be showing us!

Didn't mean it in a nasty way, just joking around lol.

No problemo! I am just glad to be finally getting back to the paints again.
The gap in my work was WAY TOO LONG!
So, I am excited too. Thanks for the feedback. Gives me lots of motivation.

Les, is that your Old Ben head or a comission?

 

[Buttmunch]

Those racks of heads are both awesome and creepy. And you thought my thread was creepy!

And from what I can see, my Joker looks great. Is he looking up in awe at his 1:6 counterparts?

Yep, that's him! I always have him there so I can work on him as I go. Should be on his way out this week. I think he is a tad overwhelmed there....

Les, is that your Old Ben head or a comission?

Not mine! Mine is still untouched on a shelf, awaiting the time to get to him! Hope it's soon though. Can't wait to paint Old Ben! Han and Luke are coming too, so maybe I'll paint them together for my own set sometime.

 

[galactiboy]

Great rack Les

But seriously, thats a great organization system... looks like it probably saves you a lot of trouble and is a great display of your WIP items.

 

[MaulFan]

Great rack Les

Lots of head(s)too, lucky dog

 

[galactiboy]

Oh well, since we've opened the floodgates;

Hope he packs them into a tight box...
