I decided to get some work done on the LSB tonight. Couldn't help but jump in.

I took apart the plasma cannon and rebuilt it to be posable. Granted the range of motion is limited by the dread locks, but it's still a nice addition. I snapped off and replaced all the resin hoses on the cannon with real wires. This is necessary so it can be repositioned on the arm. I used a more rigid wire to help keep the weapon in position once posed.

I also made my first past at the lenses for the bio. The super glue I used left some haze on the rear of the left lens, so I'm going to redo them. They do look waaaay better though.

Topped the night off with some paint touchups, clear coat, and getting rid of that hideous sunspot between the eyes.

Still a work in progress, but it's coming along. I'm really digging this bust. I much prefer it to my unmasked P1 LSB











 
Nice, I wish I were a bit more like you and didn't procrastinate so much ;) I need to fix this also (Not that it is terrible as standard) I'm happy with mine even buying direct with the costs involved. From a distance, those lenses already look a 100x better, what did you use? I'm still playing around with ideas, I need to find something very thin and reflective, seems you have already...

Superb work buddy, looks way better. Did u use some kind of black membrane for the reflective lens ?

I pulled the lenses out of some old RealD 3d glasses. I always keep a few around for projects like this. The lenses are very thin and very flexible.
 
Received mine today!

Took some better shots of my bust today. Fixed the left lens, and added some bronze shading to the metal surfaces. This may be my favorite LSB of all time.

Amazing pics and awesome work! I'm still gonna sell mine but yours really looks killer.

Excellent job, I quoted a couple of those pictures over on SF as the thread is dead over there and they were worth showing. If you are a member I'll remove them and let you do it but I wasn't sure you were?

Nice touch up. I will have some similar stuff done to mine, but with some chrome lenses

That will look awesome. Post up once it's done.

Sad to hear it, but I understand. That sun between the eyes was admittedly a joke.

good job on all the weathering ;p

Looks AMAZING!!!!

Thanks dudes!

I'm not a member, so I appreciate that! Is SF still fairly active these days?


Absolutely fantastic work on that bust! Lenses look amazing, paint up is perfect, plasma cannon mod kick ***.

Thank you sir. I've been resisting the urge to add LEDs to the cannon. Maybe I'll fool with it again some time in the future. Who knows.


On another note, does anyone have a guess how big the open edition (reg) is going to be? Like 1000?

Yeah it is very busy, equal to here in some areas. But certain threads just die on their backside every now and then, the thread for this piece being one of them for some reason. People with this just aren't posting there, me aside.

As for the reg, it will never have an ES, anything that says "limited" at the top of the page is actually unlimited, they will make them as they see fit. This could mean a huge run, or even a tiny run if enough people are turned off by the unlimited nature of them, it may even be rarer than the ex version, we'll never find out. It could also be put back up for sale in future at some point, I really don't like this new open ES trend personally..
