Lay off the weed, man, seriously.

"Dude, where's my car?"

That's you. That's what you sound like.

I like the sculpt. Can't wait to see the rest of the body in person.

It's an awesome likeness of Ray Park and the only downer is that we'll have to wait a good while before getting to see the finished figure in person. I think Maul has probably overtaken Obi-Wan as my most anticipated figure.

Sweet Christmas, Oluf is the man.
I can't wait for Maul to fight my Qui-Gon. At this rate we won't have all these figs before the end of the year...

The sculpt looks fantastic.

His horns are too long.

Just kidding, looks great.

KitFristo, you are actually correct. Below are some images starting from the original Ray Park sculpt (no eyebrows).

Image of the first go primed (see tomandshell's for wax image), defined eyebrows and furrowed brow

Shortened horns and Eyebrows more subtle, more furrowed brow

Final Wax: Less definition in the lip texture and slightly more brow furrowing

Thanks for all your comments. I hope everyone enjoys the final product!!!! I'm looking forward to getting mine! Everyone at SS did a fantastic job!

All my best,
Oluf

Thanks for the additional photos, Oluf. It's great to see the process that goes into making a piece. You always do fantastic work and it seems that Boromir and Maul have set the bar a little higher for everyone else.

Oluf, that is an amazing sculpt!
Congrats and thanks!

Thank god maul has the striking red-black paintscheme, no worries there with sloppy paint jobs ruining a perfect sculpt...

My only gripe with the figure from what can be seen in the pics are the boots, they look too fat/big.
Anyone have a screen shot to compare? I don't remember them being even remotley that fat...
The neck also seems a bit long, but then again, most SST figures do have long necks, I wonder why they do that?
Well, it's a good thing there's enough time to fix the boots.
Still, awesome figure up to now.

I remember thinking that his boots were too big when they posted the April Fool's joke so I went and looked at some stills... and yep, they are moon boots too in the movie folks.

 

[abake]

Really? Wow.
Now here's a moment when film accuracy suddenly doesn't seem that great...

 

[pixletwin]

I agree. Something Sleek and black would have done better than the moon boots of doom. But oh well... He is so cool looking otherwise!
