Head sculpture (BeastMaster) Mad Max (Mel Gibson) Sculpt

[FlyAndFight]

The JXtoys S01 body would be my vote.

 

[Mr.E]

Ditto.

 

[Luisenigma1]

Agreed it works well enough.

 

[<BEASTMASTER>]

Can anyone post pictures of the body? I don't own one myself though the neck looks a bit stubby. Mel has quite a thick neck like on the hot toys bodies.

JXtoys S01 is a good choice.
WorldBox at016 is also a good one (I have my Max custom on this body and it fits perfectly the GeeWhizz suit).

The Worldbox at016

I'd prefer for it to be fitted to a hot toys body with a more standard neck piece

My max is on a similar body to this one (which is Hot Toys clone) I'd prefer this for max because of the neck proportions

I think given the ease of availability of a S01 it's always a good choice for any project tbh

Jxs01 seems to have better proportions for Max, though not sure if the neck is smaller or the same size as a TTM19. I'll look into it. The last print I did of this head it was fitted to a solo body neck and that was bigger than a TTM19. There was quite a bit of gap so it's important to cater for a body most people will use.

I would also prefer Jxs01

Agreed, JXs01 looks better!

 

[<BEASTMASTER>]

The jxs01 looks the part. Though the shoulders are too pumped so would recommend grinding them down like Kato did in the pic. I'm still unsure about the neck, though maybe I can design a plug to thicken it up as I hear the neck is quite soft rubber.

The S01 neck tapers at the top (as you can see) which looks unnatural if the head sits where it should OR it forces the head to sit too low.

Widening the neck would be a great solution.

 

[Luisenigma1]

The joint inside the neck is stuck to the body completely but I do think using a plug that is similar to foam or something can widen it a bit. I definitely feel this body works but the groin and possibly legs need a padded look as when pants are on it the proportions sometimes look off. And that's due to the tightness of leather pants depending on what others use as an outfit.

Max with a WorldBox body, if that can help

[Gruff Old Bear]

I think the Iminime Max had a WorldBox body. It was a bit massive for Mel.

 

[<BEASTMASTER>]

I will be reshaping the face as I compared it to many photos of Mel and it just didn't quite match. I've also been looking at a rough 3d scan of the jxs01 body and the head sits quite nicely on it.

 

[Berty2046]

So happy to this project progressing. And if you do Max, maybe you could do Martin Riggs just after...

 

[<BEASTMASTER>]

I spent a couple of nights re-tweaking this head. Proportions line up to the references much better now.
