Thanks Indiana Fett. Hope someone can use that info for something if they are trying to start a weight loss thing on their own. It's hard to do. I know.
Anyway, VERY quickly here...
Had more than a few requests to see the pics I had done of my figures for the presentation, namely the ongoing Jack Sparrow (very close to being finished on him, but he's still in progress, as I am not sure about the face yet, and some small details. He is a COTBP version but with liberties with an extra belt and rings, etc. Formula posted with pic), and some of the other paints I had photographed to show the art guild group. The figures are all pretty old now, but for the unfinished ones.
So, here are a few select shots from that shoot. All these photos taken by my local friend Dana Oliver.
Jack Sparrow recipe:
Body, Hot Toys Slim
Medicom coat, repainted and dirtied very extensively.
Medicom shirt, reworked with tassle ties and recolored and aged.
Medicom pants, weathered.
Medicom Compass, aged a bit
Medicom Sash, seriously weathered and recolored.
Medicom baldrick (for buckle for CotBP version) repainted
Medicom scabbard and sword (liked it better than the HT)
Hot Toys Jack boots, repainted somewhat
Belts, custom made using Zizzle buckled repainted
Hot Toys hands, some repainting done
Hot Toys smirker Jack head, repaint/redo still in progress
Medicom Hat, heated, fit and totally repainted with CotBP patterns
Hot Toys Pistol
added, left wrist lace, shirt tassles, waist belts, not sure what else.
More to come when he's finished.
Custom Liz Swann
Recipe: Sideshow female buck body
Hot Toys ES head and hair
Custom made felt hat (had on hand)
Zizzle Jack shirt, resized and shaped and tapered
Zizzle Jack vest, repainted, and taken in.
Zizzle Jack pants, dirtied and darkened
Custom made boots
Zizzle Jack pistol.
Baldric, custom made from Zizzle Jack one, with buckle made from brass wire
Sword and scabbard, I think it was a Dragon French sword, that I repainted to look very aged and weathered.
And just some paints shown at the presentation:
Before and after SS Gandalf
Repainted Kaiyodo C-3PO (back when EpII came out)
and a shot of my old Nicholson Joker Custom from ages back, reshot again and with Cocoboloboy's hat on him!
And the repainted HT Two-Face head on my custom figure. I did the suitwork detailing also. he may get more detailing later...
And my own Custom Keaton Batman from WAY, WAY back, but with the head mods I have done since the online shots....with newer wider head and more defined cowl sculpt. The wrinkling in his neck is due to how I made the head originally, with a somewhat posable neck. LOTS of work, for something that barely functions. But still, it make him unique I guess.
Anyway, that's some of those for now.
TOO much other stuff to do to post more. NEW paints of NEW heads to come! Just thought you guys might like to see these.
Keep it up! I plan on getting started eating more healthy and walking myself. I could stand to lose about 30 pounds myself.
