Something Huge

[Calvin]

Due to a temporary really very big huge large boring moment with my ogre, and over-busted (never more appropriate...) by some extra espresso, I spent my spare time with that nice guy.

Huge in all meaning, 1/5 scale I think.

Hi Luca,
Very nice!
I did the old Horizon full figure of The Thing years ago so I'm bound to like yours
I was wondering what was going to come off your workbench next. Good choice.

OH YEAH BABY! Now this is cool! One of my favorite charachters and you definitely did him justice Luca. Great stuff. Can't wait to see him painted up! Great expression as well. I think he has to be this scale to emphasize his bulk and presence.

Absolutely amazing and definately BIG. I like it !

 

[Calvin]

Hey guys thanks you all. Here a shot about its size.

derseemann, I used Apoxie Sculpt and Clay (all epoxy).

Hey Gary, it is really some _THING_ :lol: I did it in a hurry, a week aprox., my mate is still blaming me because the caps I used from her Chanel bottles for the plinth...

Craig, please, please, please, take a shot of your and post it there, I am really curious about it. When looking for other people renditions I just found a few, I never seen the one from Horizon. About the next, still fighting with that Thor, I do not like at all how this blond is coming out.
Anyway, the set it is not finished yet, there will be a clothed version too with a different basement.

Thanks Costas, Jay I think it will be a pain for me to highlight all those rocks...

[Calvin]

painting will be a challenge!

I will add a bottle of Vallejo to the kit... :lol:

Thanks Christos, but first I must add some volume to the back of the head, way too small.

 

[thegoodsgt]

That is huge!

Luca,

Very nice and large! I like the way you continue the theme of your subjects in the base. It's a wonderful touch.

 

[Calvin]

Steven, to be honest I think it is a small piece..., that is HUGE :lol:

still trying to figure how to handle such a diorama...

Thanks John. I think every sculptor must give it a try, those subjects are really funny to sculpt, I enjoy them a lot. Most of people considers these figures as a toy, but there are some real gems. Take a look at the work of this guy, above all the X-Men VS Sentinel diorama, there is also a sort of sbs about it.

Hi Luca,
I'll be happy to take some pictures of myTthing for you.
(Does that sound strange to you too?) :lol:
I'll take them tonight and post them tomorrow morning.

mhm, not sure if mods will allows us to show huge things here... :lol:

 

[Calvin]

By the way, you have just suggested me the title for the kit, should I put a credit on the boxart...? :lol:

 

[Mongo Mel]

Nah..I'd need the macro feature :lol:

Seeing that sketch you posted, I did some searching for a picture I took at the 2005 IPMS Nationals that I think you might find interesting...

[Calvin]

It is really nice, it remember me another Batman statue on a gargoyle I saw some time ago, I think a japanese kit but I am unable to find the picture now.

 

[Mongo Mel]

Luca,
Any chance this is the piece you had in mind?

Andrea Caped Crusader

 

[Calvin]

Ah! I was unaware of the Andrea's "Caped Crusader"...

I found it, it is a Kotobukiya kit, but the sculpting style they use is too rough.
