SilentSurfer's Laboratory: Come up to the Lab & See What's on the Slab.

A future personal project for me (after the Sano Alien) is the three prop replica M-1 Gamera '96 vinyl model kits. I just got this, the EXTREMELY RARE Flying '96 version, in the mail today, all the way from Yahoo Japan Auctions, thanks to my new, very good friend turbo.VS.ozone.

I have never even seen a picture of the kit or the sides of the box (only the top cover) in the 15 years I've been searching for this thing, but thanks to tVo I now own the first one I've ever come across.

The seller was unwilling to ship to the U.S., but tVo had connections.

Thanks very much, Jean-Paul.

I can't wait to paint all of these!

Congrats, Nathan! Very cool of him to help you out

 

[SilentSurfer]

I really owe him one.

 

[SilentSurfer]

Okay, so I must be an idiot, or it's just too complicated to figure out, but I don't remember how to leave feedback for somebody.

Can somebody help me out with a quick tutorial?

go to itrader and go to their profile, There should be a link on that page saying leave feedback for this user or something like that, and it pretty much walks you through from there. LOL that probably doesn't help but I tried!

EDIT: Marf did better..

 

[SilentSurfer]

Thanks, guys. That's what I needed to know.

Yep, that's a trick to figure out. I'm sure I'll forget it again, but at least I can always backtrack in my thread and find it again.

Congrast on getting Gamera! I bet it'll look monstrous with your paint work on it!!!

 

[turbo.VS.ozone]

Nathan! You got it! So Awesome! You deserve it bro!
Those M1 Gamera's are going to be EPIC after your done with them!!

 

[SilentSurfer]

Thanks, Jean-Paul. You hooked me up good. I hope all of the kits look just like the prop photos on the boxes when I'm done with them.

Great Job on his eyes Nathan. Very realistic in color.

yea the eyes are amazing on this, i mean personally to me this is the worst sculpt of Dexter period, not much you can do to make it look like him but nail the creepiness of the eyes and you did that, and Trevors is by far the best "Serial Killer" head sculpt as far as likeness, its there without the paint even. and SilentSurfer i've seen some pics of a buddy of mines Serial Killer HS you painted and it came out amazing. Looked exactly like him to the T.

so far my eyes have been in awe over all these predators and have only gotten to page 35 or 36 i think, but SilentSurfer those Predators are by some of the best works of art I have EVER seen! To me just everything about Predator is wicked, from the weapons, to the dreads, to the masks, to their real faces, and honestly I like Predator from the first movie the best not sure if I've seen that one on here yet, but definitely one of the best "beings/aleins" put to film. I've always wanted to get one of these done up but am afraid of the price lol. also how real they actually look i may turn over at night and see it on my night stand and scare the ____ outt me
i remember seeing a guy at a costume party with a real deal Predator costume, must have cost him a fortune, but man i felt like i was standing next to a real one is how good the costume was

Congrats Nate! Cant wait to see what you do with these! And yes JP's the man! So happy to hear he helped you out with this!

 

[SilentSurfer]

Rbeato, I thought it very odd that you would quote that paint up of Dex, but when I read you were only on page 35, it made more sense.

Yes, there is a Predator 1 repaint (or two) in my thread, and you've got lots more headsculpt paint ups to admire coming up.

Thanks for the compliments.

 

[Rbeato]

now that I like, i know nothing about it other than it looks cool, but seems like something that would be rare

 

[Rbeato]

Nice SilentSurfer can't wait to see what else there is to look at on the remaining 228 pages lol

I hated the TV show, but I love the idea of Summer Glau as a sexy Terminator. This is a great sculpt by Trevor, and it was an absolute pleasure to paint. The light didn't catch it well, but the endo eye is painted with Alcald II Chrome and looks very shiny in person.

I swear you get better BY THE WEEK, this piece is just gorgeous - I was never a fan of the series, couldn't get into it - but this piece makes me want to watch it!!
