Hi all,

I am finished with this bust and ready to make the mold hope you like it. Its a 100 mm bust.

























In total there are 14 separate parts including the stand. I have made the dreads separate so its easier to cast and paint.
The kit will contain helmet and face so the modeler can choose.

The price of the bust will be € 46.95
I will post pictures of the cast parts when ready

Regards Ron
 
To expensive guys? Let me know first time I will sell a figure... If so let me know what would be a reasonable price.
And also let me know who wants one so I can judge if its worth making molds of the bust. Quite expensive making them.

Regards Ron
 
I think the price is reasonable, however, I'm concerned about the fit of the parts and some of the detail could be crisper/cleaner. Otherwise, it's a good subject. I can't commit to buying one, hopefully somebody else will so you can get the feedback you need.

Hi thanks for the reply, the fit is good you c the gaps because of the bluetac for the picture to assemble the model.What detail you mean.. I took the pictures with my phone so ma by that's it

Hi Ron, the blu-tack would explain the fit. Here's a few areas that caught my eye. Maybe the phone has something to do with it, and also a heavy coat of primer? For a large scale piece, I would expect details like this to be very crisp and clean, but, I'm very picky in that sense. Some detail could use undercutting as well and the blade looks a bit thick on the cutting edge. Minor things perhaps, but to me, these are what make something good, really good or excellent.

Hi guys/girls

Been a long time since I worked on this figure, finally started casting a part. I have begun with the hardest part to cast witch are the dreads luckily they came out great. They will need a clean up of course but these parts can't be cast flawless since I had to use a double side mold with clay.
Now that I know that I can produce the dreads in resin I can move on to the easy parts.


More to come hope you like it.

PS I have addressed all the comments Kimmo pointed out and removed all the primer and sprayed it with the airbrush instead of a spray can, the result is much better.

Regards Ron
