Figuremaster Les' Figural Fabrications

[THE JOKER]

Have you got any more hicks heads les.

 

[thedarkknight]

I hate to ask, but how's my Indy coming along. Normally, I wouldn't bug, it's just seeing the pictures is making me antsy.

 

[DarkArtist81]

Awesome pics Les! And I LOVE the new Avi and motto..

Good to see that you are getting some much needed work done now bro. You deserve it.

Thanks Josh. Good to see you around bro.

Jeremy, yes I am working on your special Indy! Big time! He and two other heads only of that same one, are in progress. Enjoying the hell out of them. Hope to include them in my next official report. Lots coming. Bear with me. Lots shipping shortly after too. Gonna be a busy week!

Joker, I am about Hicksed out. But, I can make more at some point. Email me if you can about it. I'll help you if I can, but it may be a while. LOTS to get done first. Thanks for asking.

 

[Les Walker]

LES, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE POST A PIC OF THAT AWESOME DE NIRO HEAD WHEN YOU ARE DONE!!! Looks like Neil McCauley from Heat!

It is. I am doing one for someone in the mix. I believe you can get them from Eric at Red Planet toys. He'll hook you up. See me about a paint after you snag one. It's a GREAT head!

 

[THE JOKER]

Thanks for the quick responce les.

JUST got back online. Had the weirdest computer glitch ever! Set me back hours! Had to get the system back on, backed up everything while not connected to the Net, and then came in here. Looks like there's been a party while I was gone! Heads coming and going, new versions of stuff....wild!

I will answer all emails in the morning, asap. Been a very long and somewhat scary night.

Thanks all!
Be back!

 

[Les Walker]

Thanks for the quick responce les.

No problems buddy. If I can help you out with one, I will. Just hang with me. Lots on my plate.


Just updated both my thread in the customs area, and more importantly in my Joker head commerce thread. Please make note of the updates regarding paint schemes I am offering for the Joker heads to come.

Also, I will start a seperate Thread for the second set, so I can keep both sets organized. Let me get the first lot going well first, and then I will post that. Anyone emailing me about the head for the second run, your name will be on that list.

I have a current request list, that needs to be addressed, as some of you on that list may not want the head now, or may still. When I post the new thread, note the names of those who asked me to hold a spot for them. You are not obligated to buy one if your name is on that second list. You only secure a head once you've paid for it. Thanks and appreciate all the enthusiasm fo this head. I Can't wait to get to them.

STill painting OTHER STUFF of course, it sure ain't all Jokers! So details and updates coming.
Last night was, like I posted, a scary one, where my computer acted up. IF it goes bad on me sometime, I will still post verbal updates when I can (I can go to the library if need be!), as I am hoping all is well, but am prepared to keep in touch regardless.
No computer glitch will slow me now! Not after the four months I have just been through!

No computer bugs, viruses, glitches or thunderstorms can unplug my brushes!!!

Anyway, back to work. Took me an hour to answer emails!
I swear I need a secretary! Anyone want the job?!?!?

Later guys! I got to get these loose heads done so I can get back to Hickses!!!! SO much to do!

It's nice to see you've been able to get back into things after such a stressful period and I hope it's a sign of more good times for you and your family.

You mean you'd paint by candlelight if the lights went out?

Thanks buddy. Means a lot. Things are stable at present. Better? Eh...but stable for sure. At least I can work without interruptions, so that helps. I am making huge leaps. Feels GREAT after so long. I was actually starting to think I had lost my mojo. But nope, it was just the stuff going on.
Still trying to get to a good photo op.

Let me get back. Thanks though. Means a ton you guys supporting me like you have. For that, I am doing my best for you.
Even Slade's Sloth!

Even Slade's Sloth!

Rockyyyy roooaaaadd....HEY YOU GUYSSSS!!! That's awesome that you're doing a Sloth.

 

[saintsyn]

That base so helps the figure to look better.
Makes me think about a nice setting for my Batman collections.


Here are some shots I took a week back to show how much I was working on. A full updated report with most all these finished will be soon. Lots in progress as you can see. I was gonna post some sillyness but the Ma stuff slowed me down.

Reese and all the Hicks heads are coming up also, LOTS of those!!! as are Ripleys, Drakes, Vasquez, and some other non-USCM specialty guys. Too many to show yet.

And to come soon...

Can't wait to get to these!
There's 30 Jokers in batch one, and then the 15 of those Bales.
Starting to prepare for a second set of the Jokers pretty soon also.


Full update on current heads status coming soon. Trying to paint all I can. All day these last few. Posting here is one of my only rest stops.

When looking through these photos I kept hearing them chant "ONE OF US! ONE OF US!"

If no-one flags that Eccleston, I'll take it Les.

Well Mark, I think it was indeed taken, as was pointed out to me, but I will see what I can do! I have maybe one or two pulls left in that old mold (fixeruppers every time) but I think for you I will give my favorite Doctor one more try.



Here is some shots of pre-eyes and lips work, and clearcoats left to go. Ignore glossy look on some of them as they aren't dullcoated yet.

Been on an incredible roll these last few days. Enjoying every head and getting a lot of my drive and focus on these. Been painting since very early and I am getting to that finishing phase on a ton of these, so I don't want to work tired. But most all these will be completely finished within the next day or so, that will be around 60 or so ready to mail out, then Hickes.

Some single (and yes, overdue) Superman heads coming too, yes you waiting for heads only! No Jedi Mike, hang on!!!, your full body Supes redo is coming still but not this week! Still more work on him.

Also is some Bonds and some body guys, Aragorns and some others still.

I will say this, today has been 5 O'clock shadow day!!! LOTS of stubble shadows to paint! All these Indys and Hudson heads don't help any!
Been tweaking them as well.

One thing about having some of these in my possession a while, I can look at them and work on things that bother me after a while. Can't do that when you are in a hurry with them. No time to study them properly. The Hudsons are looking better due to this I think. Last run on them for me. Last run on Hickes too. I might take a couple here and there, but those are about spent. Enjoying these though.

Oh, and Trevor's Obi-Wan sculpt is DYNAMITE! Man! What a sculpt to paint! ALmost pulls the paint it wants off my brushes. Just an amazing sculpt! Can't wait to repaint mine now. Han and Luke too!

Lots more to come.

If you do make some more Ecclestons pleaaaase put me on the list.
