Thanks man... the Deckard is a pretty stellar sculpt! Maybe a touch small; but so much detail.

Here's two more quick pics... Steve Zissou by Rocco and a finished shot of the Deckard:

Great work on that excellent Deckard sculpt. The Blues Brothers also look swell. If I had infinite space, I would get those.

That'd be awesome :rock

Yeah, Blues Brothers is a classic... but they definitely are not within my collecting focus.

Thanks Marf :duff

Thanks Flosi... it was done by BBKill; he's also got a Craig Bond sculpt and I think might have also done the Lisbeth from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo?

Really impressive work.

Finished up an Avery Brooks sculpt that will be used for Spenser For Hire customs...

Got Deckard and Steve finished up... although I noticed in the photos the right iris of Deckard is a bit mishapen, so I'll fix that; but I don't want to do another set of photos :lol

Also, here's a WIP of the Face Off Gus Fring by Rocco... I'd previously resculpted a regular Gus for my own custom, but this is the actual damaged sculpt by Rocco:

:clapGreat work gb.
Especially like the blues brothers but am biased.
They will look great with shades on bodies.

Re: GalactiCustoms ☢ Acid Pennywise ☢ Fight Club ☢ Zissou ☢ Deckard ☢ Blues Bros!

Here are some better shots of the completed Blues Brothers... I tried out my T-800 glasses, but since they didn't fit right and I was afraid they might break if I left them on too long :lol

Anyway, very cool and fun sculpts:

And a bit of a throw back to the olden days of customizing... I had a chance to repaint a Hero Head Blondie. It's a super rough sculpt, but honestly the likeness is solid; not bad for a $10 sculpt that's over 10 years old :lol

You nailed your latest skin tones that Deckard is your best paint yet!

Re: GalactiCustoms ☢ Acid Pennywise ☢ Fight Club ☢ Zissou ☢ Deckard ☢ Blues Bros!

Thanks Seb :duff I've know I've said it a lot already, but that Deckard is just a wonderful sculpt... a real pleasure to paint. Makes me wish I'd bought one of the Bros Production re-releases so I could have one too :monkey2

I really have to thank Stealthfox for the upgrade in my skintones... he'd asked me to try and match the Buzzer skintone to a Sideshow neck. After I did it once I really liked the result and since then I've continued to do the same kind of paint. What was funny is it took quite a while to find the right color... and at one point I got desperate and added a bit of black, turned out that was the missing ingredient :lol

So hat's off to Buzzer!!!

Awesome! Love the 'dirty work' on those boots. :rock

Re: GalactiCustoms ☢ Gus ☢ Zissou ☢ Deckard ☢ Blues Bros ☢ Vallon

Thanks Marf, I was hoping to get a nice "distressed" look rather than sloppy paint :lol
