Re: GalactiCustoms! ☢ Total Recall ☢ Van Zan ☢ Bond ☢ Fly You Fools!

HOT DAMN! Nice work on Gandalf, GB :clap

MacReady in the back? Looks titz!

Another stella round of paints good sir :)

You should hold a paint session one night at C7. Make it so numba'one!

Thanks man... Yes, that's the WGP Macready :rock

And no, I don't want to paint at the convention :lol

NICE ! I use mine with the hat. . . Might change that.

Think anything can be done to the rest of the fellowship or are they beyond help?

Yeah, I used the hat to hide the head a bit... but with a new paint up, he should be sans hat. Not to mention there's always the fear of paint rubs.

And the fellowship is a mixed bag. I think all are salvageable with a bit of work... Legolas is the only one that you really need a new head. If you can track down the one Darren did that's the best bet. And some are actually quite solid overall, and then with a repaint can look really good.
 
Re: GalactiCustoms! ☢ Total Recall ☢ Van Zan ☢ Bond ☢ Fly You Fools!

Crap, another one to track down !!!! :panic:
 
Re: GalactiCustoms! ☢ Total Recall ☢ Van Zan ☢ Bond ☢ Fly You Fools!

You go take a look to the new Asmus GtG, the sheet it legit! Best Gandalf likeness since the premium format, maybe better.
 
Re: GalactiCustoms! ☢ Total Recall ☢ Van Zan ☢ Bond ☢ Fly You Fools!

Wow, the Asmus is nice. Hopefully it survives production... their GTW looked incredible until the final squished-head figure. They're about as disappointing as Sideshow, but at least they have the excuse of being smaller and relatively new.
 
Re: GalactiCustoms! ☢ Neo ☢ Snake ☢ Total Recall ☢ Connery Bond!

I've got about 10 heads I'm just about done with... and the first one completely done is this great Bond sculpt by BBKill. Chu is quickly becoming one of my favorite ar****ts; not only are the likenesses incredible, but the sculpts are a joy to paint.

Thanks for the great job painting this head for me--he looks awesome!
 
Re: GalactiCustoms! ☢ Gandalf ☢ Van Zan ☢ Bond ☢ Goldblum

Here's a fun one... Ian Malcolm from Jurassic Park. He needs sunglasses for the full effect, but a really cool and unusual sculpt.

And, it's the end of an era; my final Uncharted Drake mod/paint-up!!! :panic: This sculpt has been good to me, but it's time to call it quits :lol

Re: GalactiCustoms! ☢ Gandalf ☢ Van Zan ☢ Bond ☢ Goldblum

Thanks man... I just finished up my trip to Celebration VII and I'm itching to get painting again. I've got some super heroes and a couple of larger items in the pipeline... should be a lot of fun :rock :rock :rock
 
Re: GalactiCustoms! ☢ Gandalf ☢ Van Zan ☢ Bond ☢ Goldblum

Goldblum looks great and I love the Drakes. Such an improvement of a figure full of missed potential. Can't wait to see what Super Heroes are on deck! :rock2
 
Re: GalactiCustoms! ☢ Gandalf ☢ Van Zan ☢ Bond ☢ Goldblum

Thanks man, I hope to have some new photos this week :duff
 
Re: GalactiCustoms! ☢ Gandalf ☢ Van Zan ☢ Bond ☢ Goldblum

Re: GalactiCustoms! ☢ Gandalf ☢ Van Zan ☢ Bond ☢ Goldblum

Thanks man, I got the kit and heads you sent... should have a lot of fun with them :lol

Re: GalactiCustoms!☢ Van Zan ☢ Bond ☢ Goldblum ☢ Batman ☢ Daredevil

those all look fantastic joseph :) i especially like the rocco batman and daredevil. the paint variation between the two bonds is really nice too!
 
Re: GalactiCustoms!☢ Van Zan ☢ Bond ☢ Goldblum ☢ Batman ☢ Daredevil

DD & gear are impressive! I like that its not just a flat red, great work, J!
 
Re: GalactiCustoms!☢ Van Zan ☢ Bond ☢ Goldblum ☢ Batman ☢ Daredevil

Awesome work gboy. Is the B.T.A.S. sculpt done by Rocco too ?

Yup, great work!!

Thanks guys :duff

Awesome work gboy. Is the B.T.A.S. sculpt done by Rocco too ?

Yes, that was also done by Rocco... although I think it's specifically a Year One look. I think Tony Mei is organizing a BTAS as well, but with a much more stylized head. Not sure who is doing that sculpt though.
 
Re: GalactiCustoms!☢ Van Zan ☢ Batman ☢ Daredevi ☢ Marston ☢ John Wick

Got this great sculpt of John Wick completed... it was modified by Rhamier84:
