Friday the 13th Part3 Premium Format Figure

[Patriot666]

I'll have some pretty nifty F13 custom work to post soon.

Nice! Excited to see it!

 

[SilentSurfer]

Something special I'm working on (or rather continuing work on) for Famcon. Full reveal at the show.

Mask in progress.

NICE!

Did anybody notice the axe head is now screen-accurately shaped?

Looks like a part 4 mask after the shower scene am I right?

Wow you must be such an expert on these things. I had no idea until I compared it to a picture of the actual axe from a scene of part III.

The shower scene is the mask I'm going for, yes. My idea for the piece is to depict Jason just after the axe blow to the head, before the nightmare segment of him unmasked and bloody running from the house to the lake. My "Bloody Nightmare" custom will feature the bloody, wounded head, this mask (shower scene paint up) lying at his feet, and the bloody axe in his hand like he just removed it from his head.

I have obsessed over it more than is clinically healthy. I always wondered why Sideshow did their axe the way they did. I figured they just up-scaled the 1/6 axe they used for the 12" Jasons. I've never seen a real axe that looks like this though.

Ah I knew it!

The bloody custom sounds good!

Well it's sideshow they do not care about accuracy

 

[SilentSurfer]

I wanted to do a shower scene mask so that I could enjoy this piece as a part 4 when he wears it as well.

In all fairness, I think they do care much more today than they seemed to before. However, by the time something is revealed, it may have already been started two or more years ago, so I would expect to see much more accuracy from them as time moves forward. During my time painting for them, I saw several things I thought looked really good already, but when I saw the final reveal, they had improved it even more. So, they do care. Sometimes logistics interfere though.

Wow thanks for the information, I had no idea about any of those things, especially when you said things were better once the project was finished even though they looked fine to begin with. The part about logistics getting in the way would explain why they give off the impression that they do not care about accuracy in their products even though they do.

 

[SilentSurfer]

I used to have the same impression before I worked with them, but now I know they can get just as frustrated with the process.

So they don't choose to paint some of their figures/statues horrible? It's something beyond their control?

 

[SilentSurfer]

I can't say to the degree it's out of their control, but, no, they never choose to do bad paint jobs.

I think choose was the wrong word, no one would want to choose to do a bad paint job, unless they were nuts. I think what I meant was they do they don't take the effort to try and fix the problem of China putting out bad paint jobs. However, you said it is out of their control.

 

[SilentSurfer]

Sorry, I meant CAN'T say.

 

[Darkavatar]

Sorry, I meant CAN'T say.

O I C. Gotcha.

 

[SilentSurfer]

Part 4 mask (minus straps) with part 3 blood streak to the side.

This little thing took me about 13 hours to paint as screen accurately as I could with nothing but screen caps and other people's replicas to go by.

 

[furystorm]

Astounding! No words...

 

[SilentSurfer]

Astounding is a word.

 

[Something Sexy]

That is flipping amazing!
