Re: GalactiCustoms ☢ Dexter ☢ Acid Pennywise ☢ Fight Club ☢ Dread Pirate ☢ Blues Bros

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:

Nice round of paint-ups. I need to dig up something to send ya.

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.

Each paint up is better than the last, very impressive stuff! :bow

Thanks Marf :duff

Who did that Deckard, J? Great apps on him!

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.

Getting ready to send you a batch of items, MERRY CHRISTMAS SKI!!

What's that you say?

Re: GalactiCustoms ☢ Acid Pennywise ☢ Fight Club ☢ Gus Fring ☢ Zissou ☢ Deckard

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 ☢ Gus Fring ☢ Zissou ☢ Deckard

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to seeing the final figures :rock
 
Re: GalactiCustoms ☢ Acid Pennywise ☢ Fight Club ☢ Gus Fring ☢ Zissou ☢ Deckard

Dig the Blue Bros. But that Deckard is fantastic, GB. :clap

Thanks Mando :duff
 
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
