GIMLI Customs...

[pixletwin]

was that the one you outbid me on you sonofa^^^^^?

Was that you who tacked on the extra $5 to my pricetag?

Forgive my ignorance, but what is "rotocast"?

Its a technique for making larger plastic figures... but in general means the pieces are hollow plastic. So Toy Biz made two 1/6 versions of Gimli, one is a traditional base body with clothing and the other is all plastic (or rotocast).

 

[pixletwin]

You said rotocasting is a technique for making figures "larger", but the rotocast Gimli is actually smaller than the soft one, yeah?

 

[galactiboy]

No, not to make a figure larger... but that its usually used on larger sized plastic figures. For instance you don't see 3 3/4" scaled figures made in rotocast, but as you get into larger size ones it keeps the cost of plastics down since you only have a thin layer of plastic instead of a solid piece.

Sorry, bad grammar on my part in the original post

 

[pixletwin]

It all makes perfect sense now. EXCELSIOR!!!!!!!!

I keep waiting to see your new Gimlis but nothing yet. I want to see what else can be done.
Rotocast is a process in which liquid plastic is poured into a mold. The mold is then rotated to push the plastic to the outside filling all nooks leaving a hollow space.

 

[pixletwin]

What exactly are you waiting for Dwing?

I just got a notice that my TB Gimli (sorry Chase and Craw) is shipping tomorrow so I won't be able to really get mine started until then.

Dwing How much did you take off of DiD Gimli's arms and how did you attach the TB gauntlets to it? I am technically challenged so explain to me as you would to a child.

Also could we get a picture on where you made the cuts at?

My Gimli has been put on the back burner for now.

Just sent $70 too Marc, so wont have much extra cash for another week or so.

On the bright side I should get my DiD Gimli, Indy, ClonObi, Lara Croft,Rocky statue and some books from amazon this week


I will have plenty to keep me busy until I go after another TB Gimli.

 

[galactiboy]

I don't think there are any TB Gimli's up right now anyway... seems the well had run dry for a bit

I think I'm going to use as much of the DiD as possible... but things like the Gaunlets and other bits will have to come from the TB figure.

I picked up a TB Gimli on Amazon for $17.95, and a DiD Gimli on ebay for $19.99 just last night.

 

[The Craw]

Was that you who tacked on the extra $5 to my pricetag?

no. i just had an original bid of $15 or something. then somebody outbid me. i really dont want to pay more than that. it's cool though. it's every man woman and child for themselves when it comes to ebay.
