Hello Chris, finally you are out from your Work Room!

While you are fine tuning Kirk's sculpt, I will post some new phototype pictures.

I believe the boots are in Perfect Shape now...except that "ding-dong" thing on the zipper! I also believe the other items are very good too.

I was just coming up for some air! :lol

Hey those do look pretty good!
 
Boots look fine shape-wise, but the zipper looks very big. Any chance of getting a smaller one?

The zipper itself is not big. Just that "ding-dong" is hanging around. If the "ding-dong" is remove, then the boot will be perfect. I will talk to them anyway.
 
awesome nanjin. how are the uniforms coming along?

Don't worry about the uniform. The sample will be ready soon. They are doing the pants now. Once this is done, they will send me the pictures.

I am trying to squeeze in the Phaser Rifle without adding cost. Wish me "Good Luck"!

Can't wait to see Captain Kirk. Can't wait to see him sitting in his Captain's Chair (I am building it.) Spock and McCoy standing next to him .... in front of my MR Enterprise (I made a small fortune last week on a Laker game. I am spending this little fortune for a MR Enterprise).

:google:google:joy:joy
Wha...wha....What!?
Awesome.
All the props are coming along nicely.
Need anything else from me Nanjin?
 
The phaser rifle too?!?! :blissy
Can't wait to see how your chair comes out!! Or any of the rest for that matter!
Congrats on the winnings ~ wish I had that kind of luck (Spurs are out of it :monkey2)

You can remove the "ding-dong" (it's real name is a "zipper pull," IIRC) easily yourself at home. I regularly use wire cutters to cut off similar zipper pulls, leaving the more in-scale "jump ring" piece that connects the zipper pull to the zipper itself.

Yes, wire cutters are part of my seamstress equipment. So is a soldering iron. :rolleyes:
 
After taking a long look again Chris, I think Kirk's jaw needs to be a tad bit more square. Also, don't do away with the curl, I just think it should be more of a wave and not a complete curly-q.
 
Chris was gonna send this as a PM but your box is full

Hey m8 great work, (get that in first)

Noticed you typed your email address in a public page, Im told its not the safest way to post your address as they have bots that scour the web for these types of pages containing address's

Best bet if your posting your addy is post an image of the address as the bots cant read it

Taken the liberty of screen capping your post and doing you an image (image at bottom of post):

Its on my server atm but a right click and a save and you can stick it on yours (guessing you have one)

Regards

Wow, Chris! I like what I see!!!! :D

Thank you, my friend!

How about this one? Dr. McCoy for ya!

I guess I didn't explain well enough when I posted the first Kirk photos that these are WIP photos. Apparently, that lead some folks to think that I was presenting a finished product.

FYI, I usually don't just present something and say "Take it or leave it". Rather, I present a first draft and ask for input. I want you to be involved!

I thought it obvious from the level of finish that it would be taken for granted that the head was not a finished sculpture. I forget sometimes that my rough quality is often equivalent to other sculptor's finished quality. Any of you who have one of my castings will be able to see this difference.

Being a professional sculptor with 20 years in the business, my standards tend to be higher than what many are used to. That's why folks like my work and hopefully makes it worth the wait! :D

So, these photos of McCoy are not finished product, it is a WIP. Please take a look and tell me what you see. Help me to see them through your eyes so I can improve the sculpt.

I have been told that some other set of heads has been declared by some people as the ultimate and "can't be out done" or some such. Well, I make it a rule not to comment on other sculptor's work. I don't try to be in competition with any particular individual. I'm only in competition with myself, always trying to improve, never being satisfied.

My goal is simply to make the best heads available anywhere at any price. Perhaps I will achieve this, perhaps not. You will be the judge. But with your help I sure am going to give it a try! :naughty

Thanks for taking a look. I await your constructive comments.

You are right, my friend! I should be more cautious. I'm afraid the cat is out of the bag already. :(

I assume that is what happened with the Russian Spammers. They are still using 2 of my email addresses as the return address on their SPAM. Lot's of lonely Russian women looking for, uh, "friends" and cheap replica Rolex watches, apparently. I should have known better than to be so careless with my addresses!!
