Re: LES WALKER - All NEW Custom Works 2009

171 projects!!! That's insane!! Well, guess you won't be having a problem with job security for a while!!

All my wishes to you and your dad for his surgery.
 
Re: LES WALKER - All NEW Custom Works 2009

Since remixing my colors, I am having a blast. Much more fun.

Glad to hear it. I like the idea of you have a fun time working on my custom instead of slaving away in misery doing it. Makes it worth more to me and I hope you get around to taking pictures of it when you're done.

Also glad to hear about you sleeping better and the wife and I will keep you dad in our prayers as well as you and your mom for his surgery.

Which hospital are you looking at having it done at? I been in a handful of them in GA as well as most in Jacksonville since most are have been looking at renovating or expanding recently.
 
Re: LES WALKER - All NEW Custom Works 2009

Great update! That pic is awesome. Love seeing Faramir there with no hair. :lol
 
Re: LES WALKER - All NEW Custom Works 2009

Great! Thanks Mobeill! I am looking forward to finishing those two for you. Being in a Bruce Lee mode at present, helps too. Not too long now.

Just did an updated count, and at present, with EVERYTHING going, including upcoming Mola Ram paints to come, I have 171 projects all going at one time.

Anyway, All the loose heads are out, or on my Bed of Doom and are being painted to some degree. I have started on some Bales and will do the Ledger Jokers in sets, Pencil Tricks first, and so on. Sorry to make some wait, but there is no other way until I get more caught up.
I hope to have a lot of these ready to ship within the week, as I have to clear off my desktop to be able to paint, so much has to go.

Also updated, I was running low on paint. So, I ordered more of what I needed, and remixed more of my fleshtones, from backup bottles of colors I did have on hand. I now am using 11 different fleshtones, more than I have ever used at one time, and work is going smoother than it has.

Indy folks, I am working on those as I can, some have bodies, and if you have sent me an Indy to work on, please feel free to email me with any details you want, if I don't have them already. I have gone through my work lists, updating and moving all finished and shipped works out from the lists, and that left only the Indys and still about 5 or 6 of the Joker variant choices to be chosen and defined. Much more than that of course, but those were the weak info areas.

I haven't had much time to post or check emails as I am hip deep in painting and shipping. I did take time like I said, to update my work list, and it helped me a bunch.

Superman guys, hang on, more heads being cast and dremeled. :rock Updates on those as soon as I can get to them.
More Reeve news soon. I think you guys will like it.

More Batman 1989 news also, and with some other members here, look for more fun coming from those areas also.

Again, Mola Ram folks, when Ryan sends me the heads to paint, I will work them in as best I can. We promise a quicker turnaround for those figures, so I will start on them as soon as I get them. Yes, while I am catching up on everything else. I hope to have about 75% of all this out of here by next weekend. I have to. My dad is working up to having prostate surgery, for cancer, so that will intervene sometime within the next three to four weeks, so I have to get this stuff out. Hence my self posed pressures, and stacked load, desk and bed, etc., so hang tight! I am getting a LOT done here and it feels GREAT!! Finished heads will be comiing in masses I am afraid. By that I mean, I hope I get time to photo singles more, before shipping out. I want to showcase any requested finished ones, like the Ducards and the Dr Whos, and many more. Anyway, Molas will be worked in as they come. No worries there. None at all. BMW works will flow and at this point, I forsee no delays with those.


I guess that covers most of my info for now. Sorry for lack of pics today, but I want to start posting finished works instead of the hoarde that is all over the place. You will want to see them done also, so it should be worth it.

Coming first will be, DrJediSiths's set, Gruff Old Bear's sets, Damian's sets, LOTR guys, Yes, that means those Aragorns and Faramirs too! and a lot more. These are all about done. As is LEON! Enjoying the heck out of that one. Leon rules!


Since remixing my colors, I am having a blast. Much more fun. Plus, I think seeing the other great custom works posted here, Small's and Seb's and Josh's paintups and so many of the newer guy's like Serang and Zuno's makes me want to do even better. What an amazing lot of great works in here now. VERY inspiring!

Final sets of headpaints to come! :rock
The Bed of Doom must be cleared!

Oh, and for what it's worth, I am sleeping better now. the other room is nicer, and it feels like I am getting away from the work at last. So now, when I come in here to work, it not only doesn't bother me that there is so much, but I am stoked each and every morning now! :rock

Anyway, enough words. Back to work!

Awesome Les , good to know your enjoying the work. Can't wait to see Leon finished :rock
Hope your dads ok too . Keep rockin. :rock:rock
 
Re: LES WALKER - All NEW Custom Works 2009

Les, I'm glad to hear you are sleeping better.

I hope your dad's surgery goes well with no complications. I think we'll all be praying for you and your fam.

Hopefully finishing these heads will relieve some of your tension. I can only imagine how stressed you can get.

Take care, brother.
 
Re: LES WALKER - All NEW Custom Works 2009

It never ends Les, but we are all here for you !
 
Re: LES WALKER - All NEW Custom Works 2009

It never ends Les, but we are all here for you !

Well said. You got our support buddy :rock :rock

All this support for Les makes me think of that scene in FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING when the fellowship stands up at the council of Elrond to support Frodo:

Aragorn - "...You Have my Sword"
Legolas - "...And You Have my Bow"
Gimli - "...And my Ax"


Well Les, You can count on my steel too! With your hard work and perseverance, Gondor will indeed see it done! :D

:rock :rock :rock
 
Re: LES WALKER - All NEW Custom Works 2009

You've got my support Les, you're a shining example to us all !

Best wishes are sent your way for You and Yours .

( I hope that the "little parcel " I sent your way doesn't give you too much extra work ;) )
 
Re: LES WALKER - All NEW Custom Works 2009

Thanks guys. I think I value that offer of the thin arms best! :lol Talk about your best attempts! But I value your steel (and other weapons) also guys! :rock

Yesterday was a help Ma day, as she is now in permanent pain, and is on new med patches that help her not hurt, and it is throwing her for a loop. Makes her loopy etc., and that bothers her. So, I went and ate lunch with her, and tried to calm her spirits some. My dad is also worried, he has an MRI today, to see what is causing the pain in his lower back (I hope it's just osteo or old age, but since he has prostate cancer, he always fears it has somehow gotten out...) so, there's that, and his physical with the Vets Admin monday that has him uptight. End of month no money woes also.
It's every day here....

Anyway, so I got less done yesterday than I wanted to, but I did get in some newer heads which just get thrown into the mix. There is nowhere else but THE MIX to put anything sent to me now. I am trying to get to all of it and get it all out asap, so it all gets attacked with the same vigor now. There is paint on just about everything. It's all started at least.

Pics and updates as fast as I can. About 15 are just about done. Eye details and coats and those go. Yes, Leon and Gordon and the Hobbitses and a couple more in that group. Also soon, the rest of the desk. And like a giant Pez despenser system, all the bed stuff moves to the desk and the Bales and Jokers join them! :banana

NOT SOON ENOUGH!

Thanks for understanding, guys. Pics to come.

And I am working up an actual workshop soon. This bed to desk thing is gettin' old. I envy anyone with a nice, clean workshop environment.

Oh, SALE #2 coming this weekend.
 
Re: LES WALKER - All NEW Custom Works 2009

Crap ! Sale #2 = Paypal funds straight to Les ! ! !! !
 
Re: LES WALKER - All NEW Custom Works 2009

Looking forward to seeing some new work from you Les ! I'll be keeping my eyes open for your sale too, I'd love to add something else from you to my collection ! :)
