LAST CALL!!! - 1/6 Scale Miami Serial Killer Slide Box by Corrose.

[Corrose]

Ecko, if you are not going to be drilling and using the nails, I would glue the hinges to the box halves before priming it. Otherwise your hinges are only going to be sticking to a thin layer of paint and will probably pop off with ease.

I would lightly sand those back halves and glue the hinges directly to the plastic before you get too far!

Another trick on the blood slides I did (from 1.0) was I placed the droplet of paint on the slide, let it sit for about 30 seconds and then took a q-tip and dabbed with a little pressure right in the middle of the paint. What that did for me was left the outer ring of the droplet darker and the center paint thinner and more uneven. This helps sell in the illusion that the blood is pressed against 2 pieces of glass, since the blood flattens and spreads when he places the glass halves together.

Also I recommend buying these, this is what I used to put my slides in, made a world of difference

Tom, thanks for the photo!
Do you know if any of those knives are still available, would love to get one!

From what I know the list is full and he is still making them. It's been over a year now so maybe someone will drop off and you can be added. Some people on the list may not even have their dexter figures anymore.

It is really a beautiful piece. Hope everyone who wants one gets one but FLUID told me the first one took him around 15 hours (IIRC) and mine took around 12. Even if he knocks them down to 8hrs, I can't see him making more than 20, and that's an over estimate. Especially for the price.



BTW, your slides looked like the 1:1 slides. Great job. Really love this piece.

 

[Mr. EcKo]

Thanks for the tip Chris , i will do that before i start the final red colored paint.

Yeah i wasn't planning on using the nails , i didn't even know they made drill bits that small. They do?

Again my man hands would fk that up . Those tweezers look ke the would work great .

Thanks for making this happen and all the tips , very appreciated buddy

 

[Corrose]

No problem, I didn't use the nails on my v1 finished versions. They open and close just fine, but Max, God bless that man's hands. V-Raptor said he actually drills out channels for the nails and uses them, the man should be a surgeon and not a painter, a very, very, very talented person right there. Even if I had a drill bit that small, I'd probably end up jamming it into my eye out of frustration.

Just remember if you are not sure about something, please, please ask first, I'd hate to see anyone need to spend more money to order replacement parts.

Simple tip, Ecko...brace your hand on a box or something while working. Chris, there may be a screen accurate knife coming made of plastic. Won't look as good as that one, but it's the sole interesting aspect of a Dexter figure coming from...(drumroll)...Kumik.

 

[Mr. EcKo]

Thanks for the tip Gruff . I would attempt to use the nails but i don't have a bit that small

Might be worth it to wait until tomorrow and pick one up. Don't rush it my friend.

 

[Mr. EcKo]

where the hell do you get a bit that small , i don't even know the size

Ooh, any links yet?

I have a tiny bit that came in a Dewalt bit set. Try Home Depot or a hobby shop. Bring the nail with you though uv cawrse.

What!? Do tell...

 

[Gruff Old Bear]

The trick will be to get the knife without getting stuck paying for the figure. And although they're releasing a lot of stuff, their pre-orders up to now have been years in coming.

 

[Mr. EcKo]

Yah i went on Kumiks site .....nothing


thanks , Tom

 

[Mr. EcKo]

knife is wrong , wtf is up with the axe ?

Giraffffffffffffffffffffffffe neck , LOLZ

 

[Gruff Old Bear]

You can bet they've never seen the show, just copying other figures.

Maybe Chris can create a better knife!

 

[Corrose]

Is that figure trying to look like MCH, or is it one of those unlicensed figure manufacturers doing a knockoff? I know there is one line who does these Lara Croft looking figures but doesn't call them that.

Hot Toys just needs to buy the license, hire Trevor and get the ball rolling

 

[Dark Passenger]

Yeah that's uh... terrible. It's terrible.

Only way I'll buy a figure is if it come with a set of 100% accurate kill tools. I am very happy with my current figure and accessories.
