The 1/6 version is uploaded and available for printing at
https://www.shapeways.com/model/726852/jim-1-6.html

It is the same model, the preview image is a bit wrong rotated. I will contact Shapeways regarding that.

Awesome! Please can you make it available on sculpteo also?

I uploaded the design to Sculpteo also. It ships much faster than Shapeways and according to their data it has higher resolution, but it costs more to print it with them.

Does this version come painted?

Does this version come painted?

Yes, this is the one I already printed with color and shown here, but smaller. I scaled it as instructed for 1/6 ratio.

Thanks @trebor, I hope you like it!

 

[eighthsamurai]

this looks fantastic!!

eager to see how people tackle the neck when putting it on a body, then i'm definitely ordering a couple

It's not paint but rather the color of the sandstone. It's like printer ink.

That's pretty damn nifty. It'll save the hassle of getting it hand painted by someone, so I might just go for that.

My other concern is will it fit a True Type body or will it need drilling?

will def need a bit of modification, should be doable tho'

I'm liking what I'm seeing, so I can't wait to see who else you do. Not really interested in any of the heads thusfar, but really like the great likenesses.

 

[JamesHBK]

Looks great! Keep up the great work, the likeness is real clear.

 

[milosp]

Thanks James, Steve!

I need to update everybody: I got a mail from shapeways that the model is too thin to be printed in all materials, so I had to update it to higher thickness, which means more material, and higher price.
So after I updated that model as requested
https://www.shapeways.com/model/694341/jim.html

I took the old one and re-uploaded it here so you can still get it for lower price

I have also updated the models in Sculpteo shop if you prefer different materials

Milo, I'm a little comfused with the options and changes that have taken place. Can you give me the link for buying a 1/6th color sandstone head?

Thank you!

I am posting this so that others can learn from my mistake.

My Sheldon head arrived from Shapeways tonight and I gave it to my wife as a gift. She likes the show and the character.

(As you can see, I ordered before it was resized to 1/6 scale.)

She said it really looks like him.

She pointed out that there were some white specks on the neck so I tried to take care of it by rinsing it with water.

Sadly, I didn't think about spraying it with dull coat first and the photo shows what the head looks like now.

 

[robbiethepainter]

Ouch. Yeah I got the same over sized head.

 

[The_Darkness_Predator]

Yep, that head on the right captures my emotion.

Thanks.

 

[saiko]

Lovely sculpt. I'll have to look into getting a true 1/6th one from your shop if you make it in a sturdier, uncolored material. The likeness is uncanny and the expression just perfect

 

[georgieboy26]
