We're in serious need of a spit-take smiley.

Re: Trevor's Firefly Sculpts

Questions / Suggestions . . . . how is everyone creating the piping that runs down the seam of Mals trousers ?

I cut thin strips of iron-on patch material, dyed them the correct color then ironed them onto the pants. Most of it is hidden by the rig and coat, but you can see it here in this WIP shot I took a while back.

I used some brown ribbon I bought from Michael's and glued it on with "Fabric Tac". If you want to try this I'll mail you some. I had to buy a whole roll to get the few inches I needed. It's the perfect color and width.

Re: Trevor's Firefly Sculpts

Just got my Kaylee from the sculpt master Trev. I let him send me one that wasn't completely cleaned up yet just so I could get it ASAP. I'm cleaning it up and starting to paint her right now, so I should hopefully have some pics for you all of the finished Kaylee tomorrow some time.

Thanks for the amazing sculpt Trev.
 
Re: Trevor's Firefly Sculpts

Great to see this sculpt getting to members of the board. Now comes all those wonderful pictures of custom bashes and paint jobs. Can hardly wait to see what you guys are going to do, and for mine to arrive here. Have her bash waiting for her. Now the fun begins.

Re: Trevor's Firefly Sculpts

Wow, that's looking great already, Anzik! Terrific work on her outfit.
I hope she's enjoyable for you guys to paint!

Re: Trevor's Firefly Sculpts

Looking good Anzig. Can't wait to see her painted. Nice job on the coveralls, and the shirt looks dead on.

Re: Trevor's Firefly Sculpts

Thanks guys, this one has been a lot of fun and can't wait to finish her.

For the pattern, I actually dissected a Hasbro Jango Fett jumpsuit and modified it a bit. It took about three times as long as it should have since I'm inexperienced and had sewn some things in an incorrect order and had to undo it. I'll be putting some boots on her today and giving her a base coat on her face and hair and start weathering her outfit with some dirt, grime and oil.
Thanks again Trevor, you've made a lot of fans very happy my friend.
 
Re: Trevor's Firefly Sculpts

Started painting Kaylee, and the detail is even more stunning when you have to look that closely.
 
Re: Trevor's Firefly Sculpts

I totally agree. The face is done, and she is such a little cutie. As ____ as I am about detail, I can't see anything wrong with this sculpt as I paint it and study my reference pics. And she looks so good painted up.

That hair came as a separate wig piece which I now starting to paint. Hope to have pics later tonight of the finished Kaylee.
 
Re: Trevor's Firefly Sculpts

Well, it's technically not yesterday, but I'm still up, so to me I posted these in the same day I said I would. Had to eat dinner, watch TV, and Photoshopping frames takes some time.

Anyway, here you go Browncoats. The first finished Kaylee Frye headsculpt by Trevor Grove painted by yours truly.

Here's another with slightly different lighting. I wasn't sure which I liked better, so I made posters out of both of these pics.

Thank you so much Trev, for giving us fans these amazing heads. I sometimes find painting heads tedious, but the time flies right out the window when I paint your work. It's such a pleasure to see your sculpts come to life at the end of my airbrush.

I really cannot wait to see the remaining 5 crewmates.
 
Re: Trevor's Firefly Sculpts

The amazing thing about Trevor's sculpts is that they shine even when painted by a basically competent, but not even close to spectacular, painter like me.
