1/6 MOLA RAM Custom Project

[davejames]

No not yet. Still trying to decide if I want to get painted or unpainted. On the one hand I just don't know if I have the desire right now to paint this up myself... but on the other this isn't a custom I really want to spend a ton of money on. So guess we'll see which side wins out-- my laziness or my cheapness.

I always feel the less work the better -- I'm getting too old for this sort of thing.

I checked the Boss body but two places have rulers next to the body and it looks like its quite tall -- 11 inches without a head. That doesn't seem right, does it? Adding a two inch head would put this total height at 13 inches (or near it). You'd certainly have your 'tall and imposing' Mola...

 

[davejames]

Huh, I hadn't checked that part. It's for a Vin Diesel character, so I figured it couldn't really be that tall. But I can always shorten the body if need be.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I don't know how to take the thighs off, but it looks like you could remove the shins and swap for a shorter pair IF he is strangely tall.

Anyway, I feel confident with all the work being done by great customizers here that a satisfactory body will be found...

... now if I could just get the pictures of the finished outfit from Deniz, I'd feel complete... and we could really be off to the races here.

Picked up some boots from BattleGear Toys for Mola Ram. Not perfect (leather instead of suede), but they're really nice and were decently priced so they'll certainly do for now. Had to pull off those little pull-up tabs, which were just glued on the inside.

You might be able to run sandpaper over them to scuff them up.

Any updates on completion of headsculpts?

I paid around the 4th(whoops, it was 6-24) but my paypal did not have my address so that went to Steven on the 7th. Expect it soon.

Good idea, I'll probably have to do something to the toes at least so they don't look so new. It's funny, so many of the "leather" boots in 1/6 are that shinier pleather, so these read a bit as something else entirely. As I'll likely never even see them once the outfit is in place I might leave them be for the time being.

Head sculpt has been available for quite some time now through Spenser.

All information is updated in the first post of this thread.

Have no idea -- you need to email Spenser directly for estimated delivery times or if he provides tracking.


Looking forward to seeing people post their Mola sculpts when they receive them.

 

[davejames]

Well I received those amazing sculpts from Spencer today (unpainted as you can see), along with that Dominic body. And yeah the body is definitely a bit bigger and bulkier than I expected, being a hair wider at the shoulders than the generic TTM19, and with a much bigger chest and thicker torso. But I gotta say once the Mola head is on it the proportions work surprisingly well, at least for me. And the musculature has a much more natural look to it I think.

He also sizes up with my Raiders Indy on its Solo body pretty nicely too, being a little under 12" from bare feet to the top of his head (with boots on he'll probably be a little over 12", which I can live with). So think I'm probably going to stick with this one, at least for now.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I always admire your work so I can't wait to see the finished result.

Can you please post a pic of just the Spenser head? I haven't seen a casting unpainted yet.

 

[davejames]

 

[Wor-Gar]

Thank you for those.

Needs a little cleaning but looks pretty good. Love the furrowed brow. And the detail on the jowls.

His original sculpt had this fantastic fatty neck too -- its unfortunate that due to the nature of the body he will have to have a strong-man's neckline now.

 

[dwing]

That Indy pose is awesome.

 

[TonTon]

Body looks like a good match for Ram. Nice find.

 

[freddykrueger]

Just ordered my slim line body from sci-fi-toys.
Can’t wait to have this in hand to put together.

Has anyone else got photos to share of your Mola Ram set up?
