GIMLI Customs...

[Memnoch]

I did notice the starting off simple with the Rings and now the sculpt and casting.. I'll pretty much be down for everything you are doing.

 

[BlindVoyeur]

Thank you for the kind words, but you haven't seen nuttin yet. My plans are starting off simply and only increasing in complexity and the amount of 'from scratch' stuff. Once I get the pressure pot, things will begin to expand. I'm still too slow, though.

Awesome to hear!! Great work on everything up to this point, top notch!

 

[Wor-Gar]

... and I can move onto to the next LotR project.

Eager to see what you got up your sleeve next!

Thank you. Your work and that of the other very talented people here has been inspiring.

The encouragement and positive responses from my fellow SSfreaks are indeed motivating. I've made customs for myself for years now but being able to share with others has been more rewarding than I counted on. It's great to be a part of this community.

You are quite welcome! Being able to help each other and see cool customs grow from it is what make this hobby fun and worth it.

And I've finally done it. Forgive the crap cell phone shots but I was excited to say I finally made Gimli using EC's awesome sculpt. I plan to add the Lothlorien cloak and a little something extra yet but right now I am more than happy. This if my first, self painted, full 1/6 scale figure.

 

[Entropy]

Wow! That looks really good even with the blurriness. The coloring is great and he looks quite badass. Nice job!

Minor nit, and it's tough to tell in the pics, but the neck *might* need a bit of sanding/grinding to get it to sit a bit lower. When sculpting it, I erred on the side of a bit longer than too short. But the beard length does look a lot better, imo.

 

[Memnoch]

Yea neck is a bit high but I'll see how it ends up once I throw a cloak on him. I have to say, I was a bit nervous using your sculpt as a first full attempt but I think it came out OK.

 

[Entropy]

Well, nervous or no, you rocked it. Great job!

 

[pixletwin]

He looks really good Sean!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Vastly improved!!! Bravo!

I do agree about the neck though. Gimli always seems hunched over to me. Also helps give him his squat height.

 

[pixletwin]

On mine I have complete sanded the neck off. It was a feature I was excited about but the more I looked into it, Gimli was kind of a neckless fellow.

 

[Entropy]

Very cool. I'd rather it be there and not needed than needed and not there.

Took some better shots last night, just need to load them up. I relied on a card reader for so long that I have no idea where my transfer cable is, and now I don't have a card reader active and no transfer cable Ahh Murphy's Law.

Get that reader fixed yet?

 

[Memnoch]

Well it's not so much the reader as the screen on the laptop is shot. Haven't been able to hook it up to the TV, hopefully tomorrow.

 

[Wor-Gar]

What? No more Memnoch???

 

[dortizjr1]

That Gimli looks great! Has anyone done a cast of Aragorn's head and modified it for the full beard like he had during his coronation?

Bumping this over for a new reveal...............................
