Re: WGP's RAIDERS Jones- at casters now!

I think I'll need a hatless Traditional for my Map Room.

Apoloigies if it's been asked already but, what color will these be cast in?? Fingers crossed for fle___one. . . .

Nah. Just PM me who you want.

I'd like to get in on this too, these really turned out amazing! I can't decide whether or not to go with the traditional or smiling head though...they both look great!

Anybody know how Dorgmal is getting on!? I still want to see what he does before fully committing.

Re: WGP's RAIDERS Jones- at casters now!

Has casting begun yet? Sorry, just excited; had to check.

Re: WGP's RAIDERS Jones- at casters now!

It would appear not, I still want to see what it looks like on bodies we'll actually use.

Dorgmal recently bought pressure chamber to eliminate air bubbles in the casts so I know these will be casting soon, but haven't heard back from him in a few weeks.

Last week he posted on his facebook last week that he has the equipment but still has to works the bugs out of it. Hopefully we will see something soon.

Re: WGP's RAIDERS Jones- at casters now!

LOL! That's what mine looks like too!

Is that the HT jacket IKE-CON? it looks good in your pics.

Yes. All of that Indy stuff in the picture is from the
Hot Toys DX figure. Minus the horrible HT head of course.

Though I may make some real leather gloves for him.
I think the HT gloved hands are just a little to big so
they look almost out of scale or like they go with
another figure.

With that exception: I think the rest of HT's gear is the best out there for Indy and
with WGP's head, it should make a very special figure indeed.

Yeah, those huge gloved hands put next to the undersize HT head looks pretty bad.

It would be great to get a pic or two of where this is at. Seems like we've hit another significant snag with this one.

Re: WGP's RAIDERS Jones- at casters now!

Right... Just to keep folks 100% informed of where we are at.....
I have been given the honour of casting up Sean and Ricks work... the fist moulds and casts that were taken were ok... but not I felt they were not good enough to really show off the sculpts... SO I have scrapped the moulds and restarted... I have also bought a vacuum chamber and pump to make sure these are the best casts that I can possibly produce.
The project has been hampered by numerous delays, illness, faultly parts and lack of time...

However I have remade the Regular Indy head and will be casting as soon as I can... I will post pictures as I go.

Please rest assured i am doing my very best to see that you guys get the very best.... Sean and Ricks work is outstanding....

Wow, thanks for the informative update. One quick question if you have a moment to clarify for us here. Are you casting these in translucent flesh colored resin for the most realistic result?

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

Re: WGP's RAIDERS Jones- at casters now!

Ahh I wish... i have been experimenting with dyes for resins and some are great but I can not find a suitable dye that gives consistent results.

They are being cast in Easyflo 90 resin which is amazing stuff and pretty bomb proof...

I am about to poor the first cast for the new indy mould right now... so I will post pictures as soon as it has cured...

Re: WGP's RAIDERS Jones- at casters now!

Awesome to hear these will be going out shortly

As most probably know i am now the studio painter for WGP. As Dorgmal said the last batch was not up to standard but instead of throwing these away Sean sent them to me to see if i could salvage so to use as a sample for those of you who want this painted by us.

To put a lot of minds at rest i painted the worst cast with a few layers of skin tone so you can see the size of this on the TT19 witch by the sound of it most people will be using.

As i said keep in mind this is a rejected cast and will not reflect the final product you will be getting.
