Gimli heads!

[Entropy]

Yeah, those do look pretty nice. Note that you've got them upside-down; the strap part should be close to the elbow, not the shoulder.

Is the material flexible? I ask because I found that I needed to cut the strap and stretch it out in order to fit over the clothing and chainmail.

Yeah, yeah... I'll try to put up better non-rushed pics.

It's *slightly* flexible not like plastic so I wouldn't flex it as it can snap. I drilled it out and sanded as thin as I could for enough room for the clothing and mail. I haven't fitted it with the whole gear on but think there's enough space for them to slide on, once the clothing is pulled taught to the arm, without any cutting. If they don't fit exactly they way one wants, then a slit can be made with an exacto blade on the interior bit and they'll flex out a tiny bit. Again, be careful if doing this. This custom is basically a model kit and of course fragile bits can break if forced.

... How Did I miss this? YOu finished the Gimli Heads?! did you cast them in the transparent resin like you talked about? how do they mount on the body?

and most importantly, where can I see better pics, and how do i get on the list for one of the next batches?

PM sent, but yes they're in a translucent tinted resin and mount on the body with a sculpted neck the same way a SS or Dragon neck attaches.

Hey Entropy,
I just sent you a PM regarding the Shoulder armor...
Looks amazing!!

About 90%. Still needs a bunch of little details as well as the eyes.

Lookin' GREAT so far Entropy! I have small_studios Josh lined up to paint mine for me!

Your paintwork is great, EC! That sculpt is soooooo much better with the enlongated beard and work that you did. It also looks seamless.

 

[Reinhardt]

unbelievable work man!!

 

[Entropy]

Thanks guys!

 

[Entropy]

the last picture turned out to be closer to 50% finished. Lots of shading and blending and highlights and lowlights needed for this guy.

 

[Reinhardt]

looks fantastic!!!!

Brilliant! love the paint, very good guide, doing mine with real hair/beard though.

 

[lieutenant dan]

Brilliant indeed.

Do you still have any of the Gimli heads left for sale, Entropy Chicken?

 

[LordAzrael]
