Re: He's An Ugly Little Spud - Update - 2/18/16

Minor update. I'm finalizing the paints for the figure before I move on to molding the torso. I haven't found a paint that's screen accurate from the bottle so I'm mixing everything myself. Once I'm done there should be enough to keep each paint job consistent throughout the run.
 
Re: He's An Ugly Little Spud - Update - 2/18/16

Here's an actual sample I've painted up for you guys.

Also, the first few sets of teeth that are cast.

I haven't heard from a number of the people on the list so I'm likely going to request deposits in a week or two. That way I'll have a better idea of what to expect going into casting the body etc. Truly appreciate those of you who've been supportive and vocal.
 
Re: He's An Ugly Little Spud - Update - 3/4/16

Sorry that I've not responded myself, but like I said - I'd really like to see how the paint comes out before making a final decision on which to buy. Also, when do you think it likely you'll have shipping estimates?

Those teeth look cool :duff
 
Re: He's An Ugly Little Spud - Update - 3/4/16

It's hard to say exactly when they'll ship. There's still molding, casting, and paint to go on multiple figures and stands. That's why I'll be making a push for a deposit so I can gauge how serious members really are. If you're waiting it out that's fine, you're still on the list. As I said before you can make a deposit when it's time and it can go toward any of the three version I've listed. Totally up to you.

With shipping estimates, I was meaning costs. I'm in the UK. I wasn't sure if your prices included shipping prices too.
 
Re: He's An Ugly Little Spud - Update - 3/4/16

Prices are for the figure itself. You're looking at around thirty dollars to ship to the UK. Though it may be cheaper depending on the final weight etc.

So I'm having some doubts about the slime stand sculpt. I feel like there's going to be far too much green between character and stand. So I'm tinkering with the idea of a ghost trap base with flooring. Here's my progress so far:

Re: He's An Ugly Little Spud - Update - 3/11/16

I guess that would depend on the color of the plastic stand. I'm leaning towards red because it's more pink than blue. The blue is more of an accent due to the electric effects.

I love this update and am glad I'm in for this!!
 
Re: He's An Ugly Little Spud - Update - 3/11/16

The idea will be that he's on an acrylic rod that attaches inside the trap. If I'm able to source an affordable clear resin I'll sculpt a burst of energy around that and both of these will light up. If not it'll just be painted.

Near perfect cast of the traps main body. I'll be working on the secondary plates and trap doors next.

Thanks guys! I'd be well on my way to casting Slimers torso if there hadn't been a hang up at my supplier. Looks like another week. Appreciate you guys hanging in there. Inching closer and closer.
 
Re: He's An Ugly Little Spud - Update - 3/11/16

No worries at all. Compared to how long some other members have waited for custom items, this isn't bad at all. The hard part is seeing all the great pics and having to wait a little longer. :lol
