Moria ORC PF

[DannieDarKo]

I would like to apologize to Dave and any SS staff that read this. I added a lot to the "rudeness" on the Moria Orc PF. After seeing a friend of mines not far from me, it is not that bad honestly. I'm very happy I kept my order and realize I jumped the gun here. At SDCC 09 shots on me! That includes you too DarkLord Dave, none of this " I don't do shots" girly BS.

It looks fantastic in person.
The flash is still giving hot spots and dark spots. Sorry about that.
Step 1: Stain...see earlier post.

Step 2: Black pastel chalk ground then applied with a paint brush. Chalk then wiped with cloth, paper towl, or clean brush for desired effect.

Step 3: Highlights to bring it all back together to match the arms/legs. I am not sure what to do/use at the moment.

Step 4: Not sure at this time on the grey cloth so it will remain grey until I or someone comes up with a weather technique for it.

More to come, thanks for looking.

I love mine.....But is certainly does NOT look as good as that one pictured by dtssyst!!!

Once again, cool heads prevail.

I have managed to stay out of this firestorm since it had plenty of fuel on its' own. I am glad to see that, love it or hate it, we are still a group that is here because of a common passion (specifically LoTR).

I have to say I too am very discouraged by the "leather" tunic and the lack of weathered details and QC on the color. I am really amazed that more has not been mentioned of the under material. In the proto pics it looked old, dirty, deteriorated and authentic. The in hand pics lok like a piece of beige gauze fresh from the pack.

I mention this not to re-ignite a debate but because I finally feel vindicated in my continued concerns about SS QC. From my army green Cave Troll LSB to Indy's short wasted jacket (PF) to this. It seems that an unreasonably high percentage of great pieces have flaws that should not make it past the discerning eyes of SS employees. Are they things that can be overlooked? Yes. Are they things that are beyond correction (on future pieces) with procedure changes? No.

I hope the backlash from the community coveys a clear message to SS that we, as a their customer base, require a certain adherance to acceptable standards.

These concerns must be voiced in a mature and professional way but, if they are heard, we will all benefit in the long run with a higher quality product.

I hope whoever gets mine enjoys it... I know I would have if it had been what I thought I was purchasing.

I, for one, am glad this happened before they do a Saruman PF so they can get that one perfect

Congrats to all who did decide to keep it and truly enjoy it.

Wow this thread went into some interesting places.

If I find one under $250 on eBay I'll buy it, I don't care if its pink with yellow smiley faces. The sculpt is still fantastic. I just don't have the funds to go after it now but everyone has a "Just this once" price...

Yay can't wait for some more pics

 

[The Ringer]

What are your impressions FS?

 

[icruise]

MK Ultra at Statue Forum posted these. He did say it looks brighter in the pictures, but I don't think this is maroon.

 

[FeatheredSerpent]

Not sure, I won't have him until tomorrow. I really like the sculpt and the statue as a whole from the pics we've seen here. I wish the leather was darker and weathered, but that is also based off of the pics seen here. I'll reserve judgement until he is here tomorrow...

 

[Malice]

the more i see it the more i want it all it needs is more weathering on the leather and presto!

Indeed, it looks way too new. I'm glad I didn't cancel just yet. If mine arrives like that, I'll definitely try to weather it myself. Not much you can ruin on that leather anyway.

Same here. I can't wait to actually see this in person tomorrow. The sculpt, and pose and awesome....I love the unmasked head!!

 

[Malice]

i think about roughing up the edges of the leather make it look more beat up and grimmy.

but yeah i need pictures as soon as you guys get yours.
