Oh that looks sweet to me binky! I just love it!

As to the curve, I'd have to go back and have a look at some screencaps.

 

[The Craw]

axe looks great so far. i dont know much about the curvature myself. keep us updated.

 

[Anzik]

I just ordered an outfit for my Gunn and will be painting him tonight. I'm going to make a shirt for him since I couldn't find what I liked.

I am also rescultping my Ubervamp and he should be ready in a couple days.

I have a couple other projects in the works as well but I'm keeping quiet until I see some results I like.

 

[HL2 Master]

Loving the axe Binky! Im really looking forward to Gunn's arrival.

[HL2 Master]

I just realized something, are these heads ready to fit on a body or do I need to hollow it out with a dremel tool?

Thanks,

HL2

 

[binky]

No word yet, huh HL2? I shipped 9/2, day after Labor Day, so that's 2 weeks. Hopefully it arrives within the next few days. If it doesn't arrive by Friday, I have another one ready to ship. Also, resend your address, so I can double-check I have it right.

The head's pre-drilled. No dremeling necessary unless you want to modify it some more.

 

[HL2 Master]

Binky, Not to worry I received him today. I must say the head looks GREAT! You need to do a Wesley one next so that all of us suckers that missed spencers Wes can get our mitts on one. If you make Wes count me in for two right now.
I am so thrilled with it.

[sueworld]

Aha, this was the original thread I was after!

So....any movement on those axes binky? Also, I suppose it's far too late for a copy of a Gunn head?

 

[sueworld]

Bumping this up yet again to see If I can catch Binky's eye.

AAAAAGH! I’m extremely sorry I’ve been away so long. The last part of the year was crazy—bought a new car, redid my kitchen, tried to participate (but didn’t succeed) in nanowrimo then the market blew up (I work for a financial services company). Usually the end of the year is my slow-down time at work and around the house when I can finish all or at least many of the projects I started at the beginning of the year, but things went kablooey instead. Anyway, here’s a quick update on the stuff I have going on. No pics yet, but will try to get some up in the next few days

Gunn - I finished Gunn’s axe. After getting around to watching Apocalypse Nowish a couple of nights ago, I am having some second thoughts about the length of the handle, and it looks like I didn’t get the bolt pattern correct but in general I think it looks okay and can go to mold soon, hopefully over this long weekend (Monday is a market holiday). The shape is pretty unusual and I have to figure out the best way to tackle the handle (i.e., separate from the head or as a one-piece). I also got a couple of Sideshow gift cards that I used to pick up two AA Buck bodies. I plan to use them with the last couple of heads I don’t sell by themselves to put together a couple of complete figures that, if I can figure out the axe, I want to offer for sale for those of you who do not do your own customs. So it’s all contingent on getting the stupid axe replicated. I will try the mold this weekend. Pictures soon. BTW, I have one unpainted head still for sale and two painted ones.

Vampire Willow (human) – You may recall I picked up about 3 VWs and half a dozen regular Willows on the cheap last year. No, it’s not for my Alyson Hannigan fetish—which I er… don’t have, actually. Ahem. Rather, I am experimenting with “upgrading” the stock figures. The first upgraded figure, Vampire Willow with reworked bodice, boots, and of course, head, is done. Pictures soon.

Wesley – suffered an auto accident. I often take an uncured head or two with me to work to work on during my lunch break (since the end of the year is usually a slow time at work). I usually carry it in a box along with a couple of sculpting tools. Well, one day, I had to brake hard at a stoplight, and Wesley’s head was in the box in my passenger seat, unbelted. He got damaged when his little coffin flew through the cabin and smacked the dashboard. I had worked on him for the better part of 5 hours so it was kind of deflating. I’ve decided to start from scratch on Wesley as a result. Lesson learned, though. Always make sure your passengers are buckled in properly.

In the meanwhile, I am at various stages of completion on a slew of other heads: Willow (version 2), Tara (version 2), Faith (an old project I picked up again but on doing so remembered why I dropped it the first time—she’s a tough portrait), Anya (human). Anya’s uncured, but will be going to the oven pretty shortly, I think. The other three are cured, bald, with ears. I’m at the point with them that I need to concentrate on one if I’m ever going to finish any, so I’m open to suggestions. I’ll post in-progress pictures of each soon.

OK, be back later.

 

[Anzik]

I'd love to see some WIP progress pics!

 

[The Craw]

sounds good. i'm still interested in that ax.

 

[Anzik]

Let me know if you cast any of what you have Binky. Even bald.

 

[the vampire with soul]

Anya I can't wait for that one!!:chew

 

[sueworld]

Thanks for the update binky. Sounds like you have been busy for all sorts of reasons.

I'm still very much interested in an axe by the way, and also what were the prices of your Gunn heads again?

 

[binky]

Thanks for comments and encouragement. Pics of axe first, so if you'd like to weigh in with any corrections to dimensions before I start up the mold, please do. I gave it a quick paint but I think I can do better for the chrome look if I experiment with it some more, but to give you an idea:

Any comments on the handle length?

It's been in the 'teens here all week so I'm reluctant to go take pics outside, so sorry for the blurry. I'll try to get progress pics of the heads up in a day or two.

It looks great to me.....sorry to hear about the cold

 

[Odowankenobi]

I think that looks just about perfect. I can't wait for this one. Gunn's been borrowing Angel's sword for too long.

 

[the vampire with soul]

any updates???

 

[msperoxideluv]

Would love to get in on any remaining Gunn heads or future molds, especially Anya. Please let me know if these projects are still happening. Thanks!
