Is this still being considered? If yes, I would definitely want one. I'm already gathering the money to buy Hicks, Apone and Harrigan, would love to buy Hudson too and make my Colonial Marines finally a bit more movie accurate...

Snyder-man said that this head project is still alive and some shots of the sculpt will be available very soon.

Also, guys are choosing whom to make next: Gorman or Bishop?

Another Bishop project here.

Re: 1/6 Custom Bill Paxton as Pvt. Hudson from Aliens

Finally the sculpt! Thanks for everyone's patience. Painted pics will follow tomorrow.

PM me for details!

Looks very nice! I think that the character is "captured" here pretty good.
Like it. Would be nice to check it out in color.
And yes, I need one.

Also, does it fit to the USCM helmet well?
Can't imagine my Hudsom without BRAIN DEAD on his head really. :monkey3

Neck:
1) Looks little bit thin in a front view.
2) Looks too short. Are you sure that it's good to fit to the USCM figure? I'm not sure. My Zeno's Hicks have longer neck, and Apone too. I think that it's the good point to double-check.

Re: 1/6 Custom Bill Paxton as Pvt. Hudson from Aliens

I would not bet on the helmet fitting on this head (at least, without chancing a paint rub), but that is a tradeoff you make when you design the hair to look good with the helmet off, and I'm fine with it personally.

I'm very curious to see how this looks painted up! Thanks for doing this, Snyderman!

Re: 1/6 Custom Bill Paxton as Pvt. Hudson from Aliens

Yap, your point is correct. But I'm a customizer and the condition of the helmet is not something critical for me. For example, I've took the rubber crosspieces from the inside of the Apones' helmet, So I have some nice custom painted Apone and no risk to damage artists' paint job now. Wonder if I will be able to do the same with this head...

Re: 1/6 Custom Bill Paxton as Pvt. Hudson from Aliens

I agree with you, VRaptor, about the neck looking a bit thin from the front. But I'll be removing it anyway to fit on a muscle TT, so no harm done.

The likeness looks very good, although the profile reminds me a bit too much of Hicks actually (especially the last pic).

I'll have to see about the fitting of the helmet, if it looks cool without it, I'll let it be, if I prefer it with the helmet and it doesn't fit, I'll dremel off the hair to fit.

Re: 1/6 Custom Bill Paxton as Pvt. Hudson from Aliens

very nice, how much for a painted sculpt?

 

[Agent47]

Cool. Looking at it on my phone it doesn't look spot on, but I like it. Would like to see him with some five o'clock shadow and dirtied up some.

Re: 1/6 Custom Bill Paxton as Pvt. Hudson from Aliens

Great. I hope to see this head on a USCM body. Looks the neck short?

Re: 1/6 Custom Bill Paxton as Pvt. Hudson from Aliens

Great. I hope to see this head on a USCM body. Looks the neck short?

Looks same to me too. And little bit thick on the front view.

Also, will it be drilled or casted to fit TT-body neck washer-joint?

I would like to get one unpainted. ray:
Hope that the neck issues will be solved after all.
