Tyler Durden head sculpt from Fight Club...and whatelse?

[Agent47]

Now that TTL set just needs to come out.....

 

[sunohc]

got mine today. sizing and sculpts are very nice. Thanks, Daniel.

Minor issues: a bubble was trapped in Tyler's hair (easily fixed) but the buzzed one has an ugly groove down the middle of his head where the mold line was over sanded away, taking with it the hair and some skull, which will take a fair amount of work and re-sculpting to correct.

Hey Entropy,
so I noticed that as well.
However, my caster usually cleans the castings up himself,
and inevitably most castings will have seamlines somewhere (usually back of the neck).
I was a little concerned about the extent to which the top of the head was "sanded off".

Would you guys prefer if I told the caster to leave the top part un-sanded so that you guys can do it yourself (sometimes more meticulously ?

Otherwise IMO my caster does quite a fantastic job at retaining the details and such. I used to cast and mold myself and boy it's a difficult, stressful job (and I'm allergic to liquid resin)

I'll let him know what you guys think about whether or not the top should be sanded or left untouched?

Personally, I wish I could have cleaned up the cast myself and would have requested to do so had I anticipated the problem. It's going to be more work now adding back material, replicating the hair texture, and fixing the over grinding than it would have been simply scraping off the seam line myself. I completely understand the desire to send out a clean sculpt but it only damaged your work, Daniel.

Got mine in the mail today as well. I agree with Entropy, such a beautiful sculpt that needs a little more work to fill in the overfile. I'd rather blame myself for messing something up, than to blame someone else. But that's just me.

All right... I started working on my Tyler w/hair and no neck head sculpt amazingly sculpted by Sunohc. I wanted a no neck head sculpt to put him on a sculpted neck true type (Goemon Saizo Kirigakure body).
First, I took the inside socket from a slim true type head sculpt (no easy task, had to slice the slim TT to get the socket out) Then, I dremeled the inside of the Tyler head to make some room for the socket and then put it in, fitting snuggly inside.

Question... it seems sunohc/lonnie made this head so that it can stick on the HT ball... why did you need to put the slim head adapter in his neck? (innovative i might add

I think i might go with magnets actually. I got a bald head and want to use it for a version with a hat as a second and I'd like easy swapping if possible. Does anyone know where i could get small strong magnets to fit inside the Goamon neck post and the socket of the head???

 

[Deckard]

Ray I have some I used on my Rainman Narrator. I sanded down my hot toys neck post and just glued one on. They are really powerful and perfect size. Skinny as a penny, I had to order 100, I can send you 2-3 if you want.

You could also drop in an extra one to heighten the neck.

Looking good Commtech

 

[CustomCreator]

Got my "crew cut" head yesterday, Thanks a lot!!! AWESOME SCULPT!

Now I have three heads that need painting....DOH!

Thanks Ray! Well, I appreciate them making it ready to adapt to a joint ball neck, but the head actually sat too high on it and it's not like the joint ball will go in and stay or stick in there securely. I wanted it to have the same ease as a Hot Toys head where you can pop in our out as you please and stay securely. Magnets are an option but as long as I can make it closer to a Hot Toys head then why not? Even with the magnets you'll still have to dremel the inside (or the ball joint). Why not go all the way?

Ray: I need to order those happy face comedian decals from you!!

 

[Agent47]

Deckard, been looking for some magnets like those. Any chance I could snag a couple off you? Would buy a dozen if you'd be willing to sell.

Also, used one of the 3.0 TTL bodies for mine. Ordered directly through TTL and got them within a few days. Super fast shipping. And I think the bodies are just as nice as a HT TT, albeit a little lower quality plastic. But all parts, from the joints to the hands and feet, are the same at HT's. Only cost a little over $20 apiece after shipping. FYI. Got to give them a shout out.

 

[King Darkness]

Just got my hair neck Tyler, DAMN FINE SCULPT!!!

Thnx Daniel you do amazing work

 

[Hydeous]

anybody outside the US got these yet?

 

[marker2037]

Got my no neck with hair Tyler and it is absolutely fantastic. Great work sunohc and thanks for the quick shipping!

Cannnot WAIT to get this together.

Mine actually snapped right into the hot toys connector. I'm not sure which body I'm going to use for this though. I just bought a couple of TTL 3.0 bodies on ebay, one for a Sawyer custom, and I might use the other for Tyler since it has a sculpted neck....

 

[elvis1976]

TTL 3.0 bodies doesn't work great.
THey have really thin neck.
Goemon body is def the way to go if you want to use that head.

Here's mine on a regular tt body with a long neck plug

[marker2037]

Here is a quickie of him on a narrow TT

 

[Hydeous]

looks pretty good! anyone got the painted head on a goemon body?

sorry but I think that paint job is hideous you ruined that beautiful head that sunohc sculpted.

you should've sent it to boots25 or small_studios to do it for you.
