They fit my Sarge, they should fit Marty...

Unless your Marty is on anabolics ​

They look tiny on your Sarge (EDIT: and they look great that way! Makes Sarge more imposing... )... Meanwhile, on Marty, they're supposed to look huge (the bottom of the rims reaches the bottom of his nose!):

Also, for what it's worth, I think all that hair on Erick's sculpt is actually a good thing... as it gives you some room to drill the tiny holes in which you'll stick your shortened sunglasses arms...

At any rate, I may just go back to ToysRUs to pick up those Ken shades, as they are much closer to the shape and size of Marty's.

 

[MarfMaster]

Do you not think bud? I am looking at the bulk of that hair round the sides and I just don't see the sunglasses arms working

You are probably right, but of the two positions, I think "lifted" is the only one that might work without a mod Not even sure where you would drill holes to accommodate the "lifted" position, they probably wouldn't be very incognito

 

[Maglor]

I do agree that you have more options with him looking right or left (or even straight on, as is Rainman's SOP), and he did give that expression many times in the film as I recall. But the poster look is a great one. Whenever I track down a version of this sculpt with the neck, that's how I want to get it painted up, but it really only works if you're doing that pose that way, which is contrary to the utility many see in buying an articulated 1/6th scale figure.

That's what I'ma sayin'.

But the facial expression is restrictive is it not? I don't think it lends itself to that many poses surely? The expression screams iconic poster

It would be 10x more restrictive if the eyes were painted looking down! Sure looking to the left is also restrictive but given Eric sculpted it with that scene in mind that would be the best look for it, also when a person looks down there upper eyelid follows so in order to get a realistic eyes looking down paintjob the actual sculpt would need tweaking!

Yes. This too.




The expression is not really that restrictive. He could be worried in any pose. And with the eyes looking to the side you could still position his head just about any way. But with the eyes looking down he needs to be posed looking at his watch, otherwise he will look like an r-tard.

 

[Maglor]

Anybody else hear? Zkulptor's in the hospital... due to a severe and persistent migraine. Hope Erick feels better soon...

Wow, that sucks.

Head pain is just about the worst kind there is, and migraine pain is about as bad as it gets.

Wow, that sucks.

Head pain is just about the worst kind there is, and migraine pain is about as bad as it gets.

I had 'em too. I eliminated disodium inosinate and disodium guanylate from my diet and haven't had them since. They're flavor enhancers that are usually packaged along with MSG... in stuff like cheetos, chips, instant noodles, etc... They've been documented to cause migraines.

So if you want to keep sculpting things like Marty McFly heads, get these out of your diet! (There, back on topic!)

 

[ZKULPTOR]

I just hope this will work with Ericks sculpt

If it doesn't work I'll tweak the wax version to look exactly like it how's that? also I will be making the first version ( the one Rainman is about to paint) available with neck, and neckless, no holes though.
Payment via Pay Pal to: [email protected]

$65 USD shipped in the U.S. $69 USD shipped internationally.
*Note: need your screen name, and shipping address, too many times I never get the address, it is quite important
And lastly thank you all for your best wishes, I am back home now, and feeling better after a shot of morphine and Valium.... crazy , never had any type of drug in my system... interesting experience... anyway, I have to rest for a few days, but I will be back soon...stress can really take a toll on a freelancer... just wanted to drop a line to everyone.
Thank you!
-Erick

Thanks man, I will look into that, my main problem is stress, but yeah I should eat more veggies, less tacos

 

[Maglor]

Glad you're feeling better Erick.

 

[marker2037]

Feel better Erick, I'll be sending payment for a neck version sometime this week bud.

Thanks for making this sculpt!

 

[tbay]

Hope you feel better Erick, payment sent for a Marty with neck, thanks!

 

[dchung]

Taco meat seasoning is loaded with flavor enhancers, btw. At least the store-bought and fast-food varieties are, anyway...

Feel better, dude.

올해의 마지막 인형을 보내며~



드디어 윌리웡카를 오늘 배송합니다.

오랫동안 기다려주셔서 감사하구요.

올 한해도 저 레인맨을 사랑해주시고 믿어주셔서 감사드립니다.



사람이 살다 보면 늘 좋으란 법도 없죠

어떨땐 잘 만들어서 칭찬 듣고

어떨땐 닮지도 않고 색깔도 이상하고~이런 저런 이야기들 듣다 보면

참.. 내 가 왜 이러고 있나,.. 생각도 많이 들었습니다.



하지만 메시지 하나하나 메일 하나 하나 많은 분들이 힘을 주셨습니다.

제가 무서운 사람도 아트워크 멤버이고 제가 사랑하는 사람들도 아트워크 멤버입니다.





As I shipping out the last doll this year...



I finally ship out Willy Wonka today.

Thank you so much for your long waiting.

I also thank you for your love and trust me.



It cannot be everything's always good.

Sometimes I sculpt well and get praised,

and sometimes I hear this and that when I didn't sculpt good enough.

Then I blame myself and think a lot.

However one by one, every single message and email from you gave me strength to me.
The most scary people for me is my Rainman Artwork members, and the people I love most also is

Rainman Artwork members as well.





잘 만들고 싶지만 가끔은 너무 구하기 어려운 원단도 있구요.

두배 세배를 돈 주면서 바디를 사기도 했구요.

그래서 내년엔 제가 만든 바디를 사용할수 있기를 스스로 바라고 있습니다.

공장에서 만드는것말고 제 손으로 하나하나 바디를 만들고 싶어요.



내년에도 또 새롭고 재밌는 장르들을 만들어 보겠습니다.

올해보다 더 사랑해주시고 조금만 야단쳐주세요~하하.



그럼 5명의 골든 티켓은 누가 될지 엄청 기대됩니다.



감사합니다.





I always wanna do the best, but there are fabrics hard to get sometimes,

I have to buy bodies by paying in twice, and 3 times.

And I'm wishing personally that I use the body that I sculpt by myself for next year.

I want to sculpt the body for myself, not the mess produced in the factory.



I promis you that I'll sculpt more fun and interesting genre next year as well.

So please love me and scold me a loet next year. haha



I can't wait to know who's gonna get the 5 golden tickets.





Thank you,





Rainman
