Re: MK Characters

Well, here the are... first attempt at molding and casting. Overall I am satisfied. The first few didn't turn out (they are on the left), but for the most part the rest of them are fairly decent. I have a few little "pits" in them that I'll have to touch up, but you'll have that!

On the right, you can see where I tried to add a blue dye. Due to how small of an amount of resin I am pouring, there is just no way to get the color to turn consistently.

I learned a lot doing this first "test" and I think I am going to LOVE this whole sculpting and then molding and casting thing!

Looking good Tim!

Re: MK Characters

Agreed, it is too long. I am torn between which face I like better between this and Wesker though...

I think I prefer the Franco sculpt but the hair is too long.

Any chance you are considering working on a Kitana (classic) outfit?

Re: MK Characters

Well, I will be working on a Klassic Jade, so it would just be a color swap for Kitana. Honestly, I was torn between Jade, Kitana, and Mileena... I picked Jade because she is green!

Re: MK Characters

Well, I have completed one pair of shinguards! I LOVE THEM.

Now, my Sub Zero is complete! I didn't have the light to take outdoor photos, but I will update when I get a chance!

I didn't have a lot of time, but it gets the point across! This is what he does all day while I am at work.

Re: MK Characters

Fantastic Tim! Looks even better than the first ones! You can count me in for a set of Yellow and Blue! MK II FTW!

Re: MK Characters

A little preview!

Re: MK Characters

Awesome!

Re: MK Characters

Yeah, the head is awesome! I feel like a paid a bit too much for it though, as they are going for $10 cheaper on ebay. But, I love TA, and it is worth it to support them!

It doesn't fit a standard HT muscular body without modification. I may end up doing a little surgery on a body!

Re: MK Characters

That was the main reason I never hunted one one. I'm not fond of messing with things not easily replaced

TA may have been a bit more, but you got it a heck of a lot quicker than you would have from a Honk Kong seller on ebay!

By the way, is that your Legacy Scorpion outfit?

Re: MK Characters

Yeah, it was too awesome of a possibility to not give it a shot. I knew the light neck post would never work, but I was SO hoping that the head would have fit.

Nope, it was one of my original test outfits for sizing. I turned it into a MK1 movie Scorpion. I will most likely end up selling it. It would be nice to try to make some money back off of it. I have so many outfits that are 50%-70% completed. When I was making outfits for you and marker, I was making more than 1 at a time and I picked the best one to send to you guys. The other outfits are not "bad" at all, and in some cases I couldn't see a noticeable different between them. I am sure there are some hardcore MK gamers out there that would buy a complete figure like this for $250ish.

I am still waiting to here back from Krec, as he hasn't responded to any messages after he said he was interested in some outfits. So I have kind of been in a holding pattern. I have like 3 almost done scorpion tunics, 3 pants, 2 pairs of wrist guards, 3 Scorpion Belts. My work area looks like a MK tornado went through! Blue and Yellow all over, heads, Raiden hats, shin guards, all over the place! hahaha!

Re: MK Characters

Oh, and I have a new Raiden hat painted, and I have your shin guards for Scorpion and SZ painted as well...

Re: MK Characters

Awesome! Who is TA?

Re: MK Characters

Toy Anxiety! They ARE AMAZING. https://www.toyanxiety.com/

If you ever need loose parts, they have it, or had it, or will have it!

Re: MK Characters

Obviously, Raiden still needs some love...
