Action Figure P1 HS for HT Classic Body - Video added to p. 2

Re: P1 HS for HT Classic Body

This is looking awesome. Out of interest, are you going to do any other projects in the future Predator wise? If you are making your own dreads & dread beads in 1:6 you could please a market on the customs side of things as there is nothing really out there for people wanting more accurate dreads to put on their figures (& if you were to maybe do more accurate longer/thicker super Predator dreads ect).

Thanks Kiva! I definitely might do dreads and dreadrings seperately in the future. For right now though, I really want to focus and finish this project

After the Predator, I have Blondie (from the Good, the Bad & the Ugly) lined up. Once all of that is squared away, I'll definitely consider doing this.

 

[Kiva]

Woo! Good luck with this and all your future projects. Look forward to seeing more

Hey guys,

I wanted to give you another little update while the video renders. I am starting to work on the first facial expression (I will be doing 3, so once all 3 are done, please specify which expression you want; I've also updated the interest list in the interest thread).

Here's the first expression:

I can honestly say this one looks spot on.

 

[Ralph_Sutter]

Thanks so much! I'll render out another video of that head (seeing as I'm adding some finishing touches to that expression) in the next few days I really am glad you like it so far!

 

[Ralph_Sutter]

Here is the final version of expression 1 before I send it off to the printer

 

[KORNdog]

When this is printed will the dreads be soft?

BTW, that looks awesome.

 

[monkeybat]

Cant wait.

 

[Ralph_Sutter]

Thanks guys!

@ KORNdog: The dreads will be soft, they'll be made from a silicone compound (this will also keep them nice and shiny).

Looking good! I just don't like the lower mandible teeth, lets say they have much of a tulip form but that's only my opinion. Except this I really like what I see, good work.

:eek

I really really really wished I could get one of these, but sadly I don't have the funds.

I wanna see a finished actual sculpt but this is on the road to awesome.

I wasn't sure about them either, they look like a disney cartoon painbrush to me, but its a small issue in an otherwise awesome sculpt.

Curious to see what it looks like printed.

 

[Ralph_Sutter]

Thanks guys!

About the lower mandibles/teeth, I actually worked on them quite a bit and I've also sculpted in a ton of surface detailing. Here's a more recent version, and a good representation of what the raw cast will look like (other than the quills ofcourse, since they would be far too tiny to 3D print and mold + cast):

Speaking of raw casts, I should be getting my test print shortly after Xmas. My printer friend assured me that all of the surface detailing that I did in Zbrush will still transfer to the actual print. I'm super excited to see it!

Stay tuned

Would be very interested depending on the final product (lots of pics of the head with dreadlocks on a body).

Also you've made some major (and superobvious) mistakes with jaws and those bony outgrowths of mandibles.
Tho it's too late to fix 'em so who cares...

Thanks for providing feedback after the sculpt is done (especially after I've been asking for feedback for weeks) Please do tell me what they are though, I'm intrigued and I do want to make this HS the best around.

 

[Dr. Odd]

That looks effing flawless!

 

[Furious1]

Looks awesome! Cant wait to see the final product!

 

[Ralph_Sutter]

Thanks guys!

While I wait on the first 3D print to arrive, I've been messing around with the 3D model. Here's a quick animation!

Merry Xmas everyone!

 

[Dr. Odd]

Awesome! Too bad you can't do you can't animate the figure!

Can't wait to see the test print!
