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

PM question sent Nathan.

 

[P.]

SilentSurfer, i sent you an e-mail, please answer if you are interested.

 

[galactiboy]

Is thee anything you can't do?

That was the exact thought that was going through my mind. That is some fine work... and such a clean repair/match to the original.

Very impressed (as always)

 

[Agent47]

Great work on that. Geesh Hot Toys

 

[Buttmunch]

That thumb repair is amazing. It may seem like a small thing to some people, but its the little things that are truely amazing. Like you said, you could have just recast the thumb, but you didn't! You made one from scratch and it looks slightly better than the original thumb!

I just wish you and Seb owned a figure company. The two of you would certainly give HT a run for their money!

 

[SilentSurfer]

I'm glad you're all impressed with the thumb repair. As mentioned, it's a little thing, but sometimes the details are what matters.

Wait till you see what I'm doing with GODZILLA95's HT Wolverine head. I resculpted the hair to X1-X2 style. I even gave him a little hanging curle in the front. I'm working on bone claws today for the spare fists. I'm thinking of making a mold for them so everybody can have bone claws for their Wolverine figures.

I do wish I had the resources to start my own toy company, Buttmunch. My step-brother and I had that dream just last year, but he and my wife don't get along, and he's got unresolved issues. I had to side with my wife on some things, and he pretty much ended his relationship with me. Thankfully my wife has good business sense and has been helping me turn my hobby into a customizing business for all of you. I couldn't be doing it without her, and I couldn't be doing it without all the great ideas and work I get from you Freaks. Thanks to all of you for your support.

Thanks for the heads up email bro!

How do you paint the circles of the eye so perfectly round?

 

[Angry Kal-El]

Great job on the Chris Reeves Superman and Hicks. Just came in today and I'm very happy with them!

Thanks!

 

[SilentSurfer]

Hey, you're welcome. Glad you like them.

Same way you get to Carnegie Hall. Practice.

Good one Nathan but its true.

A little Hot Toys Wolverine modding for GDZILLA95. I was nervous about grinding this hair off because I knew it would be an expensive head to replace if I couldn't pull off the X-1/X-2 hair resculpt.

But now I was committed, and I really wanted to see it myself.

I really enjoyed sculpting the hair. It's sort of like doing a facial likeness but with much more feedom to just go with what ever comes out of the putty.

With a curl and paint.

 

[SilentSurfer]

GD also wanted some bone claws for his extra fists. Okay...

 

[LChinoz]

Very cool mods.

 

[FLOSI]

Damn SS, badass as always!

 

[Matt13]

I love how the bone claws actually look like there splitting out of the knuckles, just beautiful Nathan.

 

[GDZILLA95]

Holy Sh@@!!!!!! They look great.
I think I just ji@@ed in my pants.
U the man bro.
The resculpted hair looks like it came that way.
Totally awesome.

 

[DarthMagnus]

Simply amazing work Nate!!!! Your skills are out of this world.

 

[SilentSurfer]

Thanks guys. I eat up that praise like coke straight into the veins. Sorry for the drug reference, but knowing I impressed people with my talent is what gets me high. Thanks for the fix until my next project is finished.

I'm glad you're happy with it Zilla. I was looking forward to this project for a while now since it was a fairly new thing for me to try. I'm just glad it turned out as well as we hoped.

 

[sunohc]

whoa, you're pro at sculpting too.
I may have some PMs your way about something soon

but stargate originals will go out to my caster today, hopefully you get to those soon too
