Re: [KING OF HISTORY] 1/6 custom figure Calling for 1st full figure payment

Just got the castings today. Have been cleaning up the seam lines and picked out the 6 best to
ship to Ski for paint and hair. The detail is amazing. You can really see the skin texturing and
cuts much better with the opaque flesh tone resin.

Can't wait to see these bad boys painted up.

It's go time now...:clap They ship out tomorrow and Ski get's paid. This is exciting!!!

And in honor of Ski's new baby, I'm sending him a few extra heads for him to keep.
So he can paint and hair them, then sell them for some extra money for the new mini-ski.

SO YOU HEAD ONLY PEOPLE MIGHT WANT TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THOSE!

Rock on little mini-ski :rock2:rock2:rock2

Well, I'm a little brag with their weapons in normal light)

Love the blade on the spear. Though maybe too smooth and polished for me. Is it hollow or solid?

Ski just got the heads on the 15th, but did agree to get them all finished within 8 weeks. So considering
it's only been a little more than a week, I don't think he's touched them yet. Give him some time
to clear out some of his back log. I'd say we wont see any for at least another 3-4 weeks.
But keep an eye on his thread. You can normally tell he's getting close when you see your sculpt
in the background of one of his photos.

Glad you like it)
But in the movie it was smooth and polished).



it is not hollow, it is solid, but the edges of drilled in order to insert the shaft of the spear)

Yes in that season 2 promotional picture the spear looks polished.
But when I make myself one, I'm going to make it weathered and bloody...

 

[UlliPekka]

Re: [KING OF HISTORY] 1/6 custom figure Calling for 1st full figure payment

Good decision)
Gladly give him a look)

Re: [KING OF HISTORY] 1/6 custom figure Calling for 1st full figure payment

Any word on what level of weathering and tattoos will be on Ragnar?

I hope to have the shields done by the end of October. I'm trying to improve a few things.

Well, since these pictures are what we're basing him off of, no major tattoo's really to speak of yet.
Just some cuts, sweat and dirt. At this point in the show, he only has one small partial
tatts on only one side of his head. They get bigger as the season progresses.
I think partials on one side would look strange.

This last picture is how I envisioned the paint app. It's HD so you can really zoom in on it
and see some great detail. I sent this to Ski as the major reference to work off of.

So here are some mods I'm doing to the bodies to make them more realistic.

These are the same exact bodies.

The body on the left is not modded: the arms do not lay natural against to the body.

The body on the right, I took some of the chest down on the sides and also some of the arms.
They now lay much more natural and closer to the body.

Keep an eye out on Ski's main thread. That's the first place it will show up. And sometimes if you see the
head in the background of one of his pictures, you'll know he should be working on them soon.

Thanks

Re: [KING OF HISTORY] 1/6 custom figure Calling for 1st full figure payment

Only a few more people remain to get in the rest.

If possible lets try to pay it by Oct 17, so we can
at least get Geewhizz going in October.

The longer we wait, the more the finished figure get's delayed.

I've taken the whole 1st week off in December from my day job.
I'm hoping we can get the clothes back by then so I can start on
the final detail on the vest. We're talking at least 80-100 gold
rings per vest I have to hand sew, most likely more. So it will
be time consuming for sure.


Update: Just got the first casting's in-hand of the Oden's raven for the chest piece.
I played with the contrast and shadows to bring out the detail. This is right out of
the box, uncleaned and unpainted. The tan and brown paint app for these will really
bring them to life.

Thanks.

Ike

Is there still room to add me in for a full figure set?
