[shells075]

Yes the sculpt is top notch, happy I got them. put a little video up of my Max fig with Sean's sculpt. Still not that happy with my paint app but it will have to do.

Hope Sean don't mind me showing off his artwork?

Painted up the battle damaged head... Think I prefer this look over the normal head.

Anyone else with the head pls post pics.

some paint ups by Bruno Vergauwen

Shells, you painted the normal head much better than the BD, sorry but you put too much dirty and the BD looks like Max was sunbathing or had a lot of mud on him. Maybe its movie accurate but dont like it.

I am still doing some test and dont know how I am going to drill the neck, then, will send to paint. If I paint it myself It will look terrrible.

Bruno Vergauwen painted a couple hairs on his forehead? Looks amazing.

Lol yeah, I'm starting to think I should of given the sculpts to someone who knew what they were doing :slap
Can I get a refund for my own stupidity. :lol
My Max looks more Sad Max then Mad Max :gah:

I did not want to sound rude. Admire that you painted it and if I did it myself it would be a disaster. like I said ,normal one looks much better than the other one. Keep working

Bruno's paint apps look great, yeah I went over the top with making the sculpt dirty looking, hopefully I can take some tips from the pics. If I think there is no hope for my paint up, then I will throw it in a bowl of white spirit and strip it back to the original white.

Ok did a quick touch up, got rid of the dirt look and redone the blood bit.

Man, that looks way much much better. Congratulations.

But if you liked the previous version, go for it, you are going to be the one looking at it everyday.:lecture

Thanks man, I think using Bruno's paint app as a guide helped a lot. Still no where near his standard but I will do a few touch ups on him.

Also got the small bubble in the left ear, suppose all have it. Not too much of a deal tough.

 

[shells075]

Just some more pics, I think I will leave him pretty much like this, need to get these accessories too. :exactly:

 

[lt0778]

Re: Mad max by Sean dabbs. Outfits complete pg 55!!!!!

Primered pic of sculpt.

Finished painting? ray:

 

[kam veitch]

Finally the magnets arrived after a few orders with different sellers. They are very tinny but strong and help the shoulder protector to stay in place. One below the jacket and the other below the protector.

Will try to post a pic later. For less than a dollar, shipping included, I made a great deal.

No news of the items and the belt yet? Want to order them asap to be able to work on Max in August.

 

[lt0778]

I'm waiting on Fergo black to finish the items as u know he started them.
