Texas Jack half figure conversion to full figure

[Jimbo]

This is Thunderbirds Miniatures Texas Jack bust/half figure sculpted by Carl Reid & converted to a full figure by myself,
I done this a few months ago for a certain Welsh mate of mine whose been a little quiet of late on PF..."Where are you Chris?"
Sadly it's doesn't look as if it's going to be taken up as a full figure by Thunderbirds Miniatures so looks like Chris has the only one...bit like a Tigger
I also changed the hat to be more in keeping with period photos of the wild west, & added an indian knife to his belt, hopefully sometime soon Chris will paint it & post it on PF,
I liked the way he came out and must admit Chris was lucky to get me to hand it over as I was itching to paint it, Hope you like him too.
Cheers
Jim

By heck, you've been busy!
Another nice one. The legs match the upper body pose perfectly.
The Milliput Company must love you.

Cheers,
Andrew

Another super conversion Jim.
Again this fella's legs look very complicated to sculpt.....you nailed it though.
Good work Sir.

Wow!!!!! You cant even see the difference in the sculpting style of the bust to the new legs. What scale does he work out at now?

[Jimbo]

Thanks Keith & Ben, much appreciated
Ben, He still works out at 1/9-1/10 scale ..200mm toe to eye.
Cheers
Jim

Nice work. If you do another one, how about doing a WiP piece so those of us who lack your sculpting skill can see how you do it.

 

[Jimbo]

Hi Richard Thanks for your comment, yep I'm happy to do a WIP on how I add legs to these wonderful half figures that are out there on the market, I'll make sure I take the photos next time around, which probably won't be long before the next one gets started
Cheers
Jim

AWESOME work Jimbo - I really like this one As well as the other 2 figures you just posted!! I sure hope Thunderbird does more in the Tombstone series - would luv to see a Doc Holiday half or full figure sculpted by Carl!! Dave

Thanks Jimbo, much appreciated!

I think Jimbo has perfected Stem cell technology and growing lots of little legs down in his cellar in deepest darkest Calne to be producing this amount of quality work so fast .
Nice piece of work from you again Jimbo .

Hi Jim, you nailed it again! Another great conversion to a full figure. I don't suppose you could market these legs?

My mate certainly has a flair for legs ...

Hello Jim, I just purchased the Texas Jack bust, and would love to make it a full figure. Any chance you would consider marketing your legs, I would buy them in a Heart Beat. Ray

I was worried when you said you liked how he came out, but since he's not wearing stockings and suspenders I'm guessing you weren't talking about the closet .
Seriously though, he looks great, just that sort of lean and rangey look that you find in the better James Stewart westerns.
Best wishes, Gary.

But he is wearing leather chaps - Village People come to mind

Jimbo - excellent sculpt sir!
