Ideas for a custom Red Dead Redemption figure?

seb sort of makes my sculpts look better than they actually are.
i love the way he did the hair , eyes, and lips, fantastic!

Well, in my opinion Daniel, Seb brings out the EXCELLENCE in your sculpts! It's amazing what a great paint job can do to bring out the sculpt. Look at what it does with Trevor Grove's sculpts for Sideshow's figures! If his sculpts had better paint jobs from the factory...everyone would have the best possible sculpt available showcasing the sculptors skills for sculpting. How many times have we seen already VERY POOR paint applications from Sideshow that HURT great head sculpts?! Hot Toys is KILLING Sideshow with their excellent head sculpts AND their superior paint applications on them. As is the case with yours Daniel. The better paint applications TRULY bring out the sculpt. When great care is taken to paint the head sculpt the best possible way...the sculpt really does "pop" and look incredible!

Here's to hoping I can do it too like Seb did, when I have painted my John Marston head sculpt from you soon.

^ well said and I 100% agree. I would say though that the best paint artists do seem to be able to add certain detail and texture that makes you think the sculpt is better than it is.

In this case though, I think the base sculpt is spot on and this is just a very very good paint app that shows it

 

[JediMike71]

You're correct. Daniel's sculpts are ALWAYS great! Having a GREAT paint job to bring out the sculpt is essential. I hope to do his Marston sculpt justice after I've painted mine.

Rockstar posted some info on Marston's outfit. It's for 1:1 scale, but it might help some folks looking for accurate 1:6 scale stuff.

Has anyone purchased the Red Dead hat from Steveotoys? What size did you order?

 

[JediMike71]

That is the only piece from Steve's Red Dead Redemption set that I didn't buy from him. I'm so happy with the molded hat from Daniel. I really prefer that one more than the felt/cloth hat from Steve. I love Steve's guns and gun rig. I'm very happy to have those!

I can't for the life of me find John Marston's rig on SteveO's site.

Again, thanks to all involved here, as I couldn't have done it without you!

Oh...tee-hee. Thanks man. Also to stshammgod, Mr. Marston is looking good.

That is an awesome Marsten bash Sham Playing Undead Nightmare right now, someone should get some pics with some 12" dead figs

So what size are you ordering (from Steve O) for your John Marstons?

 

[JediMike71]

Your John Marston looks great stshammgod! I love how you made him a custom figure stand too! I'm going to do the same thing and paint his name, and the game's name on the figure stand.

I gotta paint my Marston head this week! I really want to finish it. I've just been putting it off for a while...due to work at two jobs. Not by choice.

Anyone know where I can get the red bandana for his neck, Toy Anxiety is sold out of the red.

So what size are you ordering (from Steve O) for your John Marstons?

I got a 6 1/2 to 7" for a narrow shoulder True Type.

Believe it or not I used an HT Abigail Whistler belt with the "A" sanded off.
