thanks!

I tried the rounded look before and I didn't like it too much...but from my screen caps, his face wasn't so round. the sharp edges were more of a creative liberty I took to get a certain look that I wanted for my figure

I prefer this:

over my first (rounder)attempt being this:

so rounder being better didn't turn out to be better for me but maybe for you if you try it out man.

you should give it ago after you get done with your Bale

Gipetto I'd be lying if I said that in your earlier pics I liked what your head looked like. But with these new pics I daresay your head looks better than the HT

So uh.....when are you gonna make me one?

 

[Gipetto0812]

I wouldn't mind resculpting your Takara, though I'd want to try the more flexible polymer clay on it just to ensure no cracks. But that would have to wait until I gets more money as it's a tad more expensive b/c they make you by a set of many colors.

I can easily fix mine if it cracks, but I wouldn't want one done for anyone's else to crack and not know what to do then be unsatisfied

looks like batman begins bale for sure there.

 

[Maglor]

Well, this is the best I can make him look. I'm done tweaking and futzing.

Your mods are really nice (although I still take credit for giving everyone the idea and being the first one to stuff the torso ), but I can't help but feel that the head looks too small now

 

[Maglor]

I'm sure you're not the first to do it, but I got the idea from you (and Thrustmaster's OC Bats) so props to you.

And yes, from some angles the head is noticeably small. But I'm satisfied with it as is.

 

[Gipetto0812]

I originally had foam in mine but it didn't work as well as the cotton does and I think I still need more cotton in there b/c Mags looks like the right buff-ness

Absolutely LOVE this set of pics Mag!!!

 

[Maglor]

Thanks G.


I had fun taking them and editing them last night. Kept me up waaaay to late!

 

[Gipetto0812]

Haha I know what you mean bud! Once I get to something time just flies right on by

He's a lot more subtle than the HT figure, and in the right light he looks like a real guy in a suit. Not so much Bale, and I'm happy with my HT version, but I may have to try and grab one of these. I love how poseable he appears to be.
