Full figure Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle (The French Connection ~ 1971) [ SOLD OUT ]

[petes]

Ok. So this seems about right. Are we good with this? It fits nicely in a normal peg hand, if anything. Maybe make the gun a tad larger. I’m not sure if the hand is hot toys. But it’s pretty standard. Even the trigger fits nicely.

If anyone wants to join for group painting, I'm thinking of having one of these painters:

1. Rodman:

2. 357partment:

I’d be in for either painter.

Sounds good.

Thanks, guys! My plan is Rodman, since he's faster and directly responsive

Ok. Guns are resized and printed. I made the mistake of trying to remove supports and clean up too early and ruined a batch. Now they have been reprinted and they have been cured but giving it until Wednesday to clean up and paint.
I did some test paints for the “gun blueing” and I’m happy with the look. Seems like we’ll have this at the same time you get your heads.
I’ll keep you posted.

Anyone want their sculpt shipped unpainted, please PM me.

They look great. Really good likeness. I'm hanging on for the full figure

 

[magpie9]

Excellent work, the prints look great.

What’s the situation with the clothing run ?

 

[petes]

Ok. New size fits great. You'll need to be extra careful with the trigger guard. It fits well.

Starting painting on badges and gun now.

Next the Blue badge enamel.
For such a small badge the detail is quite nice.

I have a nice gunmetal technique for the gun I think you guys will love, but it takes forever!

 

[petes]

Just a tease on the gun paint. About 2/3 the way through the metal part paint process.
Loving the look so far, they really look like gun metal.

I'll start collecting deposits this week for the outfit

 

[petes]

Badge looking good too.

 

[greatlakes6]

Everything is looking great!

 

[petes]

Gunmetal part done. Getting close.
I’ll get pricing this weekend for the set. I have 6 guns painted now, I’ll print some more next week. I have a few other people interested in the gun for other figure sets too, so I’ll try to paint those next week if work allows. It’s a pain to paint and make it look like gunmetal, it has many layers. So, I’ll offer an unpainted price also!

Looks brilliant! Is it possible to do a deal for the hands? I would like the waving one. Looks absolutely spot on!

This is shaping up to be a beautiful figure! Congratulations to all on the list, it's a classic movie and I wish I'd had the funds to jump on board at the time.
