Kaustic Plastik - XXL Project set 1 - The Fantasy Warrior

[galactiboy]

Yeah, it's odd there is no solid Arnold option out there.

I put up a want to trade thread to find Bane arms... basically offering to trade the DX10 arms with added articulation for the Bane ones. Turns out a number of people want to do the Bane pose with his hands on his jacket lapels, so there are a few out there. The other option would be to buy two bodies and frankenstein them together, but that gets expensive

Here's an update on my Conan... this is the first step of adding hair to the DX, next is to trim it, shape and try to clean up the hairline as much as possible.

Looks awesome gb. I was planning on using the same head, but didn't know what I was going to do for hair options. I'll have to get some pointers from you when your done.

That looks really good!

Thanks, I used the lambs fur sold by morezmore on eBay, they have a lot of colors and it's really a great product for hairing 1/6 heads. What's nice is they also have a tutorial on the sales page, it really tells you everything you need to know

Can't wait to see the head finished. I might hafta order some and play around since they teach ya how lol.

It certainly takes some practice and Elvis is a master at it, but even my first time using it I was able to get some good results.

Not a particularly good picture... looks promising, but a bit soft on detail. Still, a solid custom option and hopefully it will look better with a more professional photo.

Got the eBay head in - I like the likeness but it's not really 1/6 scale - much too small for any muscle body.

Yeah, looks like the shrunken head syndrome.


Here are some better pics of the Modern Life head:

Looks great. I'm really looking forward to seeing some shots with the molded hair w/ the headband, as well as the rooted hair. There's no question who this is supposed to be.

there is something strange about the hairline

 

[JeffTVR]

I agree; there seems to be too much forehead which is throwing the likeness off I think.

 

[torgospizza]

I think that's from where the detachable hair is slightly recessed from the face. I've seen a rooted hair Thor sculpt around that looked similar.

That could be the reason, also a bad paint application or a poor sculpt in that area. Either way for me it is..........

 

[da Bronx Commando]

I thought the Modern Life head had rooted hair?

 

[da Bronx Commando]

I have my set and am using it for the war paint version as well. I'm using the Neca figure as reference as it's pretty movie accurate. One thing I have to say, as much as I like this set, I really dislike how the head sits on the body. The molded hair doesn't let it sit low enough IMO.

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, hairline is odd and the eyes seem kind of flat... I don't hate it, but not in love either.

Modern Life hs Will have two version, sculpted and rooted hair.
Wonder if they are not going with a separate part for the hair so you can swap.
Good intention but i doubt it looks good.

However that hs is very cool young Arnold i hope they do more version for T1 for exemple.

I could be wrong about this, but I'm pretty sure the sculpted version will come with two choices: 1) the hair we see in the pic, as well as 2) an extra hair sculpt that fits with the headband. Then we'll have the rooted hair version that we can use with or without the headband at our own discretion. Lots of choices there, which is pretty cool.
