[Scaletta] Dracula - Blood Armor !SECOND RUN!

[Califa]

Re: [Scaletta] Dracula - Blood Armor !FINAL PAYMENTS!

Just a note on the heads. The ball joint in a lot of the knockoffs can vary in size.
So you may have to make the neck hole bigger in some cases.
I had to open mine just a little bit to fit right on my neck post. They were
just a little to tight until I did that.

Thanks

Ike

Ok, no problem.

which bodies are the most appropriate for the head and armor set?

Re: [Scaletta] Dracula - Blood Armor !FINAL PAYMENTS!

I'll be interested to see how the armour and head all goes together on a body and how to do it.

Not confident about drilling necks too, so I guess I'll have to find something that just fits.

I have a slim HT body and Narrow shoulder. The round neck connectors are just slightly different sizes.
But either one with very little drilling will fit. I can't find my mm gauge right now, but it looks less than 2mm difference.

Re: [Scaletta] Dracula - Blood Armor !FINAL PAYMENTS!

Ah, okay, thank you, Ike. So, a minor tweak then. If you get the chance, would love to know what size drill bit you used, but I do have a caliper I can measure the neck and connector with anyway. I was just concerned if it needed a lot taking out, but that's very minor. Thanks again, Ike :duff

I was going to use a knockoff narrow shoulder - would that be any good, do you think? I do have other HT ones around somewhere though.

Well, I have not tried yet with the Scaletta set. But the Horizon worked best on a slim body and I recall
Scaletta saying something like the HT TTM-22 slim or like body for his set.

Hey Woodrob, I'm in the process of painting and putting my figure together. I think I can see how the armour plates go together at the front but can you post pictures of the rear (to make sure I get the fit right)? Also, do you have any suggestions as to how to fix the plates together? Are some just glued direct onto the chest armour or would it be better to attach them to some leather belts (or similar) and then attach those? Cheers! First time painting so enjoying the challenge!

Hey, Jeff It`s super easy, check this pics and u`ll catch the idea. If you will assemble parts this way the whole suit will be able to articulate



PM me if you will have some other questions

Re: [Scaletta] Dracula - Blood Armor !FINAL PAYMENTS!

MM did such a great paint and hair on the Walking Dead Daryl head.
Now I'm very excited to see what he does on the Gary Oldman heads.

They got the heads awhile ago, do you know when they will start on them??

Right.

Can we have an update on this please, Woodrob?

Re: [Scaletta] Dracula - Blood Armor !FINAL PAYMENTS!

I'm really hoping the haired//painted heads come out nice.
Reference Pictures just in case MM needs them.

Re: [Scaletta] Dracula - Blood Armor !FINAL PAYMENTS!

Ah, man. I thought that was an update for a moment.

If the final result of the head is like that of the first photo I die of pleasure

Sorry man...:lol

I'm guessing MM is still busy on the Daryl heads(based on that threads notes).
And that's a cash cow over there, so we might see the Oldman heads done for a bit.

But that's only a guess....:dunno

Maybe someone who knows will chime in and update us.

Yes, Waste Time never paid for head or answered any of my PM's.
I still sent the extra head and I will be taking that one for myself.

I will PM you the list I have.

Re: [Scaletta] Dracula - Blood Armor !FINAL PAYMENTS!

Looks like we know that Scaletta uses a photobucket free account for hosting pictures.
All his pictures are being held hostage now. Lucky for me I already had a paid account
with them. So my pics stay.

Hopefully he'll start hosting pics on another site so we'll be able to see them again...
