Lighten up, slick. You'll live longer.

awesome sculpt man !

 

[hurricane]

molds been made of the new sculpt, heres 3 'deluxes'in progress, one retro fitted ANH >ESB , another ESB with the original sculpt, and oddly enough yet another ESB , but with Jedi style reveal split, the resin helmets is the build up of a 'basic' helmet, casted mask/burnt anakin head for the exposed section at the rear and casted neckbrace....

My god Glenn, there really is no limit to your talent :chew

I mean, honestly, who still cares if Sideshow will develop a Vader or not; it can't get any better than your stuff...

 

[Mooncat]

Glenn can you take some pics of the variations when completed please !

Need a well lit full length shot with no other items in the way and a well lit half length shot of each figure so that I can cut them for their pages on the website !

 

[hurricane]

[Brent72]

Can't wait to see some pics of my "basic" Vader.

 

[Entropy]

I love those boots and shin armor. All the little details are great to see.

 

[Vader AL]

Thanks so much for this insight into your creations Hurricane, it's a real treat!

photo update later today, basically a redesign of the ANH widows peak so its almost identical to the prop piece, also one of the WIP ANH vaders was requested to be exact in every possible way to the screen used costume, this is even down the replicating the rough paint on the mask (the gn metal areas were painted by hand on the prop piece)the wear on the neck area caused by the cape chain etc etc...

 

[hurricane]

so its 4:30am...need sleep, but first the 'screen prop' ANH

and a non 'scruffy' ANH

 

[Entropy]

Nice. The little damage details are great! :chew

Those are looking great! Again, thanks so much for posting the in-progress pics. So great getting a peek into the workshop. Such an inspiration. 4:30am?? Yikes. Please stay healthy and keep up the great work!

 

[hurricane]

sorry for no recent updates,but had last night off, anyway...
basic ESB helmet will be shown later with corrected dome.Ive redesigned the detailing on the masks, the area near the rear (up on the sides) by building two new parts which will be molded,some of the helmts are done with the older style but all the deluxs will get the newer styling.The first body has been made setting a new pattern for all the bodies,basically sideshow arms,hasbro torso,sideshow pelvis and thighs blending into hasbro legs,then into sideshow ankles,ive opted for the hasbro knees as they are nice and stiff and will allow decent stable posing as the torsos weigh a fair bit with the invertors/batteries etc...ill post a pic of the suited up new style body later, it is true to scale,height wise plus the bulk of Prowse.

 

[Rogue Trooper]

Damn Glenn you really making me giddy with excitement with these updates.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Cool! Can't wait to see more pics. They're like an appetizer before the main course.

 

[Brent72]

[Vader AL]

That would be so sweet! Photo etched for what parts? the chest box?
