One of a kind masterpiece. Truly a work of art!

Look like it walked off the film set.

Inspiring work, tinister

Thanks King Darkness!

He's never done

Fantastic work! I'll be very interested in the commision of suits; don't know if I can afford it; but I'd love to have something close to this masterpiece

And I know its a sore subject around the 1/6 community; but if you can do this you might consider tackling the Twinch Squad suits. You could make a killing on those

 

[Wor-Gar]

Perfection is ever elusive.

But you are as damn close as any human could reach. Like King says, your Kane is a work of art that looks like the real thing! Absolutely amazing piece.

Now aren't you glad you didn't sell it a few weeks ago?

I must have missed the whole controversy. Why are they a sore subject? I've always wanted to have one.

Check it out. I still have some futzing to do with the rigging so that they're all centered on the torso. And of course paint and weathering, but I really like the way it looks compared to the blocky HT one. It adds an organic feel to the figure.

 

[tinister]

The smaller chest plates gives the front profile a less bulky feel. Once painted to match the shoulders - it should look awesome. The old bulky square chest plated made the figure look too robotic and less human.

Amazing custom.

Unfortunately I can't see the pics in the last two posts, Tinister. I'm getting the dreaded red x.

 

[tinister]

Thanks FlyAndFight! I think my server had a hiccup. Images should be viewable now.

Some pics of the chest plate primed.

 

[tinister]

I did some still-frames of Kane on my blu-ray copy of the movie and took measurements of the "puffiness" of the arms in relation to the legs and torso.

Then I redistributed the padding in my Kane's suit to match. It turns out I had way too much padding in the lower arms. And just a bit too much in the legs.

So now the distribution is more balanced. The neat thing is that after I removed the excess padding - the material of the arms folded and collapses in a way that looks just like Kane's suit in the movie. And elbow articulation is improved as well.

absolute masterpiece! So what's your next project?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Never ceases to amaze!


Hey Tin, can you put up a side-by-side of the original HT Kane and your new 'real' one? I'm so spoiled by yours that I'd love to see a compare to marvel at the details.

Thanks Edstuff!

Before August - I want to finish this figure I started about a year ago. James Caan from "Rollerball".

Then in August I'll be producing Kane parts for you guys.

Will do Wor-Gar. This weekend after I finish the chestplate. Then it will be done and done.
