These are beautiful, just amazing any other place selling these for a reasonable price and shipping asap?
 
I just got my set and it has a couple of nicks and scratches. So I'm curious for those who have theirs, are they completely free from blemishes or are there "things" here and there?

The ebay seller has so far been super receptive. I just want to temper my expectations on the condition of a potential replacement.

Mine had glue marks on chest, one helmet has noticeable brush marks on the front, and one helmet has a tiny paint chip on the front. I expect no less from HT.

I got lucky, I think...zero QC issues, but maybe wouldn't count on it ... I bought two singles, not the set...

Thanks man. It's the artist in me. All the work is already done for me so all I need to do is make 'em look natural. ;)

Yes, I can see that. It's all about creating the illusion of weight. That gravity is making the character hang.
I trained in art and design before moving in to film stuff. I do a lot of CG characters and it's always the same thing, trying to get enough weight in a character to give it scale and realism. Great stuff!

Nice. I've done production design and physical effects for indie film, bit this is the bulk of my creative work these days:

Client arrives around noon for this one. 18K palladium-white gold with .57ct Princess Cut diamond.

A very unforgiving medium. :O

My mind wouldn't be focused enough to do that! Nor my hands. :lol

That's real fine craft.

Been at it professionally for seven years and still not sure how I do it, LOL...it's not for the faint of heart.

My mind and hands will sort of tune into the piece and then it's all feel, measured against sub-millimetre tolerances.

What does that do for your eyesight, or is that not how it works?

And, got to respect anyone who works with their hands in this way.
