Re: MK "Colored" Ninjas

Huge improvement!

Thanks! I still need to do some sanding on the base head. This time I used the TrueType Lincoln Burrows head as a reference, and tried to imitate it in the eyes... I was really happy with the results. Overall this head is thinner than the original Burrows, and the nose is thinner, as well as the whole jawline...

The skull is a purchased and modified one... I think The lower jawbone is a little jacked up, so I am just going to make a new one!

Re: MK "Colored" Ninjas

Any chance you'll be making Kitana or Sonya?

Re: MK "Colored" Ninjas

hunnipot - We'll see... I really want to make a Klassic female Ninja (Jade, Kitana or Mileena). I plan on finishing up Raiden first. Then maybe moving on to a female figure.

Re: MK "Colored" Ninjas

I remember you saying you had an idea on how to do the Cage tattoo. I think he would be fairly easy to complete... would you consider making his costume anytime soon?

Re: MK "Colored" Ninjas

Well, I took a little break from sewing Buttmunch's Sub Zero outfit to do a little sculpting... Just thought I would share. This was done on a Beachhead Head Sculpt. I still have to make the edges harder, then bake it... Hope you all enjoy!

Buttmunch - I should have your Sub Zero completed by Monday. I'll let you know for sure when I am done, so you can send remaining balance. Also, see the Raiden hat on here. This was the first prototype... I'm not completely happy with it, but I think it is decent.

Yeah, I could make one for you. I need to finish up the current batch of Sub Zero outfits I am making, then I could possibly start this. The tattoo would have to be applied directly to the body. So this would be more complicated than just an outfit. Which body were you thinking? The all rubber HT bodies would look the best IMO, but you would loose articulation. Hmmmm... what about the head sculpt? Any ideas?

Re: MK "Colored" Ninjas

Sweet.. I was thinking a muscular body like the one you're using for the ninja figures like Dastan or Royce.

No idea on the headsculpt but I definitely would like it to be HT quality. Anybody got any suggestions? Maybe Perseus?

Re: MK "Colored" Ninjas

Had to find a use for one of those uselsss T-1000 heads

Re: MK "Colored" Ninjas

Well done sir... that actually made me LOL. What do you think? Have any ideas for a good cage hs? Any interest in a cage?

Raiden is next for sure. My Storm Shadow arrives Mon (I took your advice... it was all there! haha.) I still have to make the vest thingy once I get my Storm Shadow. And print a new hat. Yes... I said print. I am using a 3D printer! haha

Actually, I think I convinced my company to purchase a legit (60k) one... which means a whole new world of possibilities could be opened up!

So Raiden would just be a Hat, Hood, and Vest.

 

[Buttmunch]

Re: MK "Colored" Ninjas

He also needs a top actually. I only figured that out after opening Storm Shadow up. He's basically got a white underarmor shirt on. Too tight for Raiden. But the pants, feet, etc are there. And I think the unmasked head looks great as Raiden too.

Not sure on Cage. A head would really make or break that figure. A T-1000 is close for sure, but its got a neck which is a no-no with muscle bodies. Only way around that would be to go for the suited version.

I'm actually toying around with Stryker, but his shirt would need to be custom made at the least. Most everything else is pretty easily found. And Headplay is making a nice Aaron Eckhart head that looks like it would work nicely for Stryker (I convinced he was the model for him in this game since he both looks and sounds like him!).

 

[twik25]

Re: MK "Colored" Ninjas

Yeah, I agree on the HS... it would make or break Cage. This one make take some time for the right HS to come along...

Which Stryker you going with? Oh, and what did you think of the Scorpion & Sub Zero web series episode?

 

[Buttmunch]

Re: MK "Colored" Ninjas

I'm going with his 'default' look from the new game. Pretty straight forward except the shirt. Maybe I can get you to look into that

I thought the Scorpion/Sub-zero episode was much, much better than the Raiden on. One of the better ones for sure. I can see now why you wanted that Saizo mask

Re: MK "Colored" Ninjas

Man, I love this thread. It's filled with Awesome! Love that scorpion sculpt....and Raiden and Sub Zero!

The episode of MK Legacy with Johnny Cage was my favorite! I'm interested to see what can be done with the character.

I'm a huge MK fan and have been since the first game. I've talked myself out of making MK customs for so many years because I know I'll probably want to make the entire cast, lol.

Right now, the one character that's pushing me the most to attempt some customs would be Mileena in her Flesh Pit costume. That would be awesome with one of those seamless bodies.

Re: MK "Colored" Ninjas

Johnny Cage has to have an attractive head sculpt... t-1000 wont cut it.

Maybe we can use the upcoming Franco head from the Hot Toys New Goblin figure. Will have to wait and see how that one turns out though.
