Anybody care to join Jessica seated at the Bitter Table?

No paint could right this wrong...

 

[Ironman1188]

I'm seated to the right of you Jess. Even increasing its size it would be off because the neck is already too wide. I'll send my mini one to you if you want it. Just LMK.

 

[Jessica]

Yes, please Ironman...send it to me...I didn't realize you were seated right next to me. I guess I couldn't see you from the steam coming out of my ears and couldn't hear you from me grinding my teeth...The neck is not a big deal. I want to get it fixed because at this point it looks so stupid...

Hey Jess - I just finished painting these 5 heads. What do you think?

 

[angelofmusic2112]

Oops! Forgot the pix.

Here's the first painted Armando sculpt I’ve finished. (I now have three more Armando’s to paint.)

I put Armando head on a Dragon body. He is now wearing his CONQUEST outfit.

This one belongs to Brian, a friend back who commissioned me back when The Armando Project was first conceived.

I just mounted this newly painted orangutan head on the SideShow body with apoxy. Thanks for the ape head Snickertown.

I would like to make this Sideshow figure a Dodge. What does everybody think of this sculpt and if not Dodge, who? Thankyou, Kent.

Angel - The flesh paint on Armando is perfect. The next one you paint, will you post a picture before you put the eyeliner on? I'm curious to see what he would look like without it.

Angel I think you should rework his glyphs with a simple orangutan one, not as fancy as the Minister of Science glyphs...and he will be perfect.

I encountered a cool new tool for the glyphs, and I was able to make nice ones for a Mego-sized Julius with 3D paint. I think that's the way to go for Megos. I used a pin to paint the hieroglyphs. Too bad I didn't take any photos before I sent it on its merry way. I'm eyeing my President of the Assembly Mego-scale. I want to try to get started on his crazy outfit.

As far as Cornelius's jacket, the basic shell is there. I still need to add the collar, and then will add lining (looks more professional with lining, plus it will keep him warmer)...wish me luck. Thanks for the photo references. They were great.

Hey Ironman - I saw your name on a list indicating you were interested in the Bill Murry sculpt from Ada. I hope this sculpt works out for you and the other Ghost Busters fans.

Thanks!! I am always interested in new sculpts, POTA or not. There's always a use for stars and background characters.
Your new apes look great. They really bring some needed variety to Central City. Armando's good too!!

Jess- is this new tool you're refering to a "pin"???

Thanks Jess, enaud, KFog and Ironman. I really appreciate the kind words regarding Armando and the new orangutan.

Hmmmmmmm! I guess no answers to my questions about Ada's email and the Sideshow sculpt means a no then!
