Small update just to keep you guys in the loop.

The 3D print of the sculpted hair head and my TTM20 has arrived with Pete, he is going to make a start on the head this weekend.

Once he's finished I'll ask him to take some photos so we can see how it look on the body before sending it back to the caster.

Once it's acceptable and the head is shipped back, I'll update again when it has arrived and is due for the new mold and casts to be made.

Thanks for the patience guys.

Please, could someone post pictures of the medallion??

There are no photo-test of the wig on the blad head even if the head was not casted correctly?

Hey Guys

I just wanted to say a big thank you for everyone who has been so patient and sticking with it. There has been a number of unforeseen factors taking place on this project (mainly delays with postage!) but things are beginning to get wrapped up now.

- wig is nearly complete, will be posting photos of the proto soon
- modified long hair is just about done, Pete will be sending off to be re-molded
- bald head is being re-molded/has been and will be taking casts very soon

as for the medallion, I just searched on my computer and cannot find any printed pics - perhaps Frank/Matt has some?

They look great. Wish to get them soon.

A shame we did not try to get the two serpents one. The one kaustic plastik is offering is too small and lacks of detail.

A little something extra for you guys, it's still an early WIP

I didn't really wanna show it until it was a bit more refined but i wanted to let you all know everything is still moving albeit slightly slower than desired

We are still working it out, the length is not cut yet or styled, we are still working on the thickness and positioning, but the image on the right is where it's at and the left is the photoshop manipulation i have gave her to her as guidance

Second image is an earlier wip from a different angle but the hairline was too high and my manip

As you can see we are slowly getting there

Agree on the manipulated version. The version on the right reminds me of Herman Munster. I may want to pick up a second head as well, without wig. Might make a great Mr. Freeze.

Very nice! Is it possible to order just the necklace?

Right a small update.

Pete was ill which knocked the process back another month unfortunately, that being said the changes to the print have now been done and it's been fitted to a body properly. Below are some images of how it's currently sitting on a TTM20.






Pete noted the head can be turned - it will just need to be lifted and placed.

The head is in going back to the caster this week and then we can make the new casts and they can be sent out. Again thanks for the patience, there has been a number of unfortunate events that have slowed this down but glad to say it's seemingly back on track.

As for the wig - should have some finalized photos very soon. The wig maker is just doing some finishing touches and then hopefully it should be good to go!

So the caster still hasn't got the head back yet?

What is a realistic time frame in where customers are receiving the heads an necklaces?
