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

[MANDO]

He really did come out dope! Congrats on getting to work on such a killer liscense/character and thanks for giving him his due!

 

[SilentSurfer]

Hey, you're welcome. And thanks.

 

[SilentSurfer]

Hope to see some of you in SDCC. I'm out tomorrow morning and won't be back until Monday morning. Yeehaw!

Insanely jealous of the week you're about to have

 

[Wor-Gar]

You did a perfact match on the Fett helmet to the real thing. Really shows up in that comp in the Fett thread! Every ding.

 

[Buttmunch]

Seriously, is there ANYTHING 1:6 anymore they aren't having you paint? Not that that is a bad thing! You haven't failed yet, not even close! Home run every time!

 

[SilentSurfer]

Thanks, Brant. I really only know of one 1/6 figure they didn't have me do. I really hope to see her at SDCC as well.

Thanks, and I spent hours doing it. Sideshow gave me mad references. The only scratch detail that was hard to figure out was right on top of the helmet. I've still never seen a straight down shot of it, but I pieced the shape of it together from several partial images.

The helmet in the video is actually missing one small silver scratch that did make it onto all the others. But if you didn't notice it, it's all good, and I'm not going to tell you cause it won't matter in the end.

 

[Buttmunch]

I just hope the production paint holds up on the helmet. All of those scratches are key to the look of the helmet. I really want Boil and Waxer to ship out (should have been Friday according to my Flex pay email ) so we can see how well they can match your work.

And a mystery female 12" figures enters the scene now huh?

And maybe I should send you my cell number too. Might need help sneaking in on preview night?

 

[SilentSurfer]

Waxer and Boils should have been out last Friday? I thought they were expected this Friday. Finally, something I painted is about to be released.

 

[Buttmunch]

Yeah, my Flex email said the 15th. Had that been the case, they'd be in my hands tomorrow, just before heading out to SDCC!

But hey, Jason isn't too far off either! I'm really eager to see how he ended up too, especially how pleased you were with their first samples.

I just noticed the the crotch pad in the ESB photo with the huge blaster hit on it (from Han Solo? ), I never noticed it before anyways so I think it's fine, I can't wait to buy this, I'm just hoping the price is not above $150.

 

[SilentSurfer]

The so-called Dong Dent is included. It's just covered by the ropes.

Here you go:

 

[Deak Starkiller]

How do mean 'nailing the paint'? Color, pattern, other?

I mean specifically underneath the red visor outline there is an almost black color on the helmet's "cheek". Great work SS.

 

[SilentSurfer]

I know a lot of people think it's a very dark green or something, and I had a hard time deciding what it really was as I've seen some replicas with a dark green, but it is black. Based on all the references, screen caps and other, I was given, it's black. I think lighting and the placement between the red and green plays tricks on the eyes.

 

[King Darkness]

You're doing some really great work SS!

Although its all for not if Sideshow drops the ball in production. Fingers crossed.

 

[SilentSurfer]

I've found it harder and harder to tell the difference between protos and production samples lately. Fingers crossed for sure.

That's very promising.

 

[Buttmunch]

Looks like my Boil and Waxer shipped today

Couldn't have been on Friday like it was supposed to huh? I would have had them today instead of them getting here when I'm at SDCC!

 

[stshammgod]

At least you're GOING... Try living in CT!

 

[SilentSurfer]

I had the absolute pleasure and honor of painting this beautiful Legendary Scale Figure debut.
