The DIE HARD Thread

Anyone know if Erik Sousa (Zkulptor) is planning to do his revised DH4 sculpt into a DH1 sculpt?

He or someone for him said it was planned but there's been no word since and Erik doesn't respond to posts about it. I was waiting to see how it turns out since his version 4 was so good. But now I'm losing hope.

I believe that Erik said he was planning a DH1 version, but he has a lot of plans and few updates it seems. Regardless, fingers crossed and looking forward to that one!

but he has a lot of plans and few updates it seems.

And so it goes it seems.

Ambition sucks.

Well lookey lookey... Erick must have been listening...

Here's Mr. John McClane.
Tweaked the original Willis sculpt, this guy is thinner, younger, less wrinkles... and hair...yup lots of it... and one cigarette.

$65 shipped in the U.S.
$69 International

If possible I would like to see a shot of the Willis sculpt without the cigarette.

 

[karamazov80]

That is a great sculpt. I would probably try to kit-bash a figure with it if he were selling it painted.

Bruce does not appear amused by that Reaper

It's pretty good, but he has the brow covering half of the eyelid.
It looks like he went 10 rounds with Mike Tyson and makes Willis look older than he was in the first DH.
You can usually gauge how old a man is by his eyes and they shouldnt look the same way they do in Tears of the Sun.
I'm glad he attempted that iconic view of McClane though.(Nice accurate smirk)
Erik has loads of talent but tends to let his style get in the way of an accurate visage imo.
If the brow were fixed I'd get it no question.
(The AK Waters looks great.)

I'm selling some great custom McClane pieces (customized by Elvis1976) if anyone is interested.

So... you got a new sculpt (Zkulptor), new feet (Lee) and new pants?



That sculpt and those feet are really painted well.

That's a triple bingo!

Thanks Wor-Gar, Seb's paintjob is honestly the best I've seen on this sculpt

Nice work on that custom HS of McClane Erick!

I really hope HT will try to get this line..but then again, I hope not or else that would mean another expense haha!

I recently upgraded my John Mcclane figure. I think it looks much better.

out with the old..

 

[MarfMaster]

One helluva improvement!

 

[JohnnyStarquest]

Thanks Marf. I've always enjoy seeing your bashes. I see you have teaser of Indy in your signature. When will the full pics be up. Is that Spensers head in your avatar?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Very NICE!

Love the poses too! And thank you for finding the right thread!

What shirt did you go with on the upgrade, is that the Royce tank?

 

[JohnnyStarquest]

Thanks, yes its the Royce vest. I was going to post in the custom section but remembered this thread was on here.

Thanks Johnny! That is actually the ROTLA Indy PF sculpt resized to 1/6. All I'm waiting on his the head to be painted, so I'm hoping to take some pics soon

There is definitely a Bogart vibe to the sculpt, perfect comparison pic btw

I see it too. But then again, back in 1981, Harrison was compared often to a modern day Bogart... for the 80's.
