Re: [RAINMAN ARTWORK] old/new project head sculpt restock UPDATE:JULY RESTOCK 2014

Can any Rainman experts tell me if this is it a recast or not, I can't tell and rly don't wanna buy a recast. Thanks!

Unless it has air bubbles it's probably going to be hard to tell...... That's the problem with painted sculpts.
 
Re: [RAINMAN ARTWORK] old/new project head sculpt restock UPDATE:JULY RESTOCK 2014

Yeah, gonna be very hard to say. Even with originals you may see slight differences in the casts, so assuming that existed, that wouldn't necessarily be enough to go on. I would judge the seller, and if you feel confident, then go for it. Actually looks a bit like a DF Studios paint job to me in that first pic.
 
Re: [RAINMAN ARTWORK] old/new project head sculpt restock UPDATE:JULY RESTOCK 2014

Maybe ask for more pics? Especially of the underside of the sculpt to look for bubbles.

OK guys. July 15th. Mark your calendars.

I'm working on a seeing what time.

Does he offer the GBU guys in the restocks? I can't remember

I was thinking Aeon when I first saw the pic but it could easily be DF's too. Either way the impression that I got was it resembles a paint-up from his camp so if that's the case, there's the answer

He said he believes it was skiman who painted it and then said it "was special drilled for me from painter", so seems a little weird to not know who painted it but the painter special drilled it for you, plus I believe all rainman sculpts come pre-drilled right?


Here is the pic of the bottom.

I own one from Rainman and the detail doesn't look the same....that one looks like its lacking some detail....then again it could be the paint job

Hmmm. Not being pre-drilled does sound weird. That looks like a flesh resin cast unless the painter painted the inside (which wouldn't make much sense). It looks like a similar color to the unpainted resin of the Dude on his site; but he looks like he uses all different color resins so it could very well vary. I guess it wouldn't make much of a difference but tomorrow I can check what color my painted Dude sculpt is inside

I'm assuming the deal must be good since you're still considering this sculpt and the restock is around the corner, right?

Well I really want a Dude figure, so I am also thinking about Moe's clothing set, which this auction has and comes with the sculpt, if I just wanted the sculpt ya Im with ya id just wait for the restock haha, but I'm also hesitant because I put out a comment on the dude thread that I'm looking for a dude H&C set or maybe even a full set so maybe someone might pm me who knows.

Great news about the restock, need to take a serious ponder whether the PF boys are gonna be on the shelf

Pretty stuck on what guns to use for them, want that shinny chrome look but pretty impossible to find.

Anyone bashed Jules and Vincent and what guns did you use?

Last I checked they were hard to come by and expensive but the chrome pistol from the Blitzway Carlito set is 90% accurate

That was initially what I was hunting for but I've been checking for almost 6 months now and nothing

I'll keep an eye out for this one, cheers
 
Re: [RAINMAN ARTWORK] old/new project head sculpt restock UPDATE:JULY 15th RESTOCK 20

Date is marked. Hope everyone can all get what we're looking for.

As for the sculpt on eBay, that's a tough call. I'd be more inclined to grab the sculpt during the restock and just wait to find a Moe set on the FS boards here. I tend to trust these boards over eBay when it comes to custom stuff but that's not to say you aren't finding a legit source. Just my $.02.
