The DIE HARD Thread

[mattman6886]

Here's a few more shots of my Dirty Johnny!

 

[Mr. Fusion]

I was really tempted by that Dirty Johnny but, truth is, for me this hobby is all about being creative and building my own figures. Buying a set like that would reel like cheating

I know what you mean. I couldn't help myself with this one though.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Looks really good!

Jumping back to the Sunohc McClane for a moment...


I finally got a dremel. Should have a long time ago. Beautiful machine.

Here's the head PRE to POST dremeling:

A little finessing to get it to sit on the neck right...

Cadaver, if you're here too, those pics would help me because it looks a little dangerous to take off all that "flesh" to the hairline and follow the line through along the jaw.


And here's PRE and POST dremel again, how it sits without the slight 'bow' in the neck. Subtle, but the head also sits a bit lower to:

I hope these pics help others who may give a McClane a go. I sure could have used them when there was all this talk of dremeling.

Right now the head is just sitting on the rubber neck without the inner adaptor -- which I still need to dremel down -- but I'm not certain I even need it at this point really. I did not trim or cut the neck down either. Didn't have to.

I'm considering cutting the sculpt along the jawline for a 'better fit'. Advise or suggestions very welcome and wanted, especially if you've done this.

I got mine at Osh hardware for $36.99. They have cheaper ones but they're not corded so they might run out of juice at the critical moment. Damn fun tool though.

Sorry I haven't posted those pics yet, its finals week and I got caught up in studying.

 

[Itchybitz]

Here's my first bash with Sunohc's latest BW sculpt. I plan on doing a battle damaged version later.

 

[cadaver202]

here are those pics of how I trimmed the neck

 

[Wor-Gar]

Ah, nice! Thanks for that!

I've been remiss with finishing McClane with the holidays and work but I hope to post pics of the finished body before years end. I hope.

The sculpt might be awhile to get painted.

A little off topic of 1:6...but the five below by my parents house had like literally more than 20 of the cult classics john figures. It might be worth checking out at your local spot if your interested.

I'm waiting for Hot Toys on this one. It'll happen.

I might make a die hard one from my spRe dirty Johnny head. That is one of the greatest Bruce heads I not the best ve seen! I can't wait for him
