Re: PeteSkywalker's 1/6 Customs - Rick (bladerunner) Ash harness

Hey Guys

Unfortunately there has been no Friday update as my family life took over yesterday so did not get a chance to work on customs.

But the good news is that I am off for the next 2 weeks so expects a few more finished projects to be updated on here shortly

Hi Pete, Leon's head arrived today. I need to paint his hands and do some more weathering on the clothing (and maybe make a replicant eyeball for him to examine), but for now here's a couple of quick pics of him with body :

Cheers muchly,
Lt Dan

Received my Walter White sculpt back today and Pete's paintwork is fantastic.
Couldn't be happier with this.

The figure isn't finished yet so I've not taken any full photo's since it just looks a bit daft , the shirt is too big , he needs fattening up and I still haven't glued the shoes in but here's a few that will hopefully give an idea of how great Pete's paint is.

Thanks Pete !.

Looks great so far Tay

I think you are better that taking pics than me

I got lucky with the photo's.
Believe me I suck at taking photo's. I noticed a bit of sunlight creep through the window so got the camera out quick.

Re: PeteSkywalker's 1/6 Customs - Eric Northman (true blood)

Here is a finished (I think) picture of Eric Northman form True Blood. It was a early sculpt form the sculptor and as printing technology is not to the standard of today it lacked dept but I have tried to add that with painting tricks.

It’s my first paint up for the sculptor so want to impress and would like to know what you guys think

Looks good Pete, only critique is the hair looks a bit grey. I can't tell if its just the light (so if it is, disregard) or the paint.

But overall looks really good

No for sale currently but i can ask the sculptor if he has any more you can buy

It looks a bit more brown in person but i think your right the hair needs a bit more love. When painting it i was trying so hard not to make it look to yellow or green (a common mistake) that it kind of looks grey instead

Having only been doing this since October I'm still learning so thanks mate

The best blonde hair i have seen is from Ski. Looks like i will have to look to wise master Ski for some more guidance

In the "ask section" of the customs forum someone posted a tutorial on blonde hair. Looked pretty helpful although I have not attempted it yet.

Re: PeteSkywalker's 1/6 Customs - AOD Ash head

More updates to come this week but i thought i would show some pictures i have taken on my new camera.

Its not a unknown fact that my pictures are my downfall so when i bought my girlfriend a new Canon 1100d SLR camera for her birthday and i was so impressed buy the quality i bought one for myself.

This was one of the first sculpts i painted and the pictures never did it justice so thought it would be a good place to start.

This was taken with no effort i just held it next to the lens and clicked. This will make my job a lot easier

edit: and on a side note this head is forsale so pm me if interested

Thanks guys

Some new stuff

Revised Eric Northman Sculpted by Sean Dabbs

I love and hate all the details that show up in these new pictures
The more details the better but its shows inaccuracy's that are not usually visible to the naked eye

Re: PeteSkywalker's 1/6 Customs - Eric Northman & Catwoman

very nice! My only suggestion is to make the patent leather on Catwoman more shiny (hard to tell from pics)

Its a semi gloss at the moment i am going to see what the finish of the outfit is like before i put it to rest

Re: PeteSkywalker's 1/6 Customs - Eric Northman & Catwoman

Both look great

And I never really understood posting pictures 10x actual size... makes more sense to have pics more in scale with what you actually see.
