1/6th Saesee Tiin

[Dorgmal Snow]

Happy new year ladies.. huummm sorry.
Well its good to back in the swing of things and already this year there has been some topchuffintasic stuff appearing already.
So I am join in with this wee chappie.

I was most fortunate enough to be given a truely wonderful parcel of gifts from Deathstalker the other day and amongst the goodies was a chuffin ace sculpt of Saesee Tiin.

Now you know I am an OT fan but spank me with a kipper I was most excited.

Now the original cast was good but I really want to have a bash at learning to sculpt so I made a resin plaster cast and worked in to it adding a few creases wrinkles and chopping down the hooter a bit.

So I slapped a spot of paint on and tada!!

Now it is nowhere nere finished this is just the beginning. I have only really done dios before fo the main focus on this was painting the eyes.

The nest Tiin I do I am going to really focus on the skin and nose, then I think I will rework the horn!! as they look a trifle to big.

I am loving having a break from the dios and trying to learn new skills.

Pretty sweet Mark. Is there anything you can't do? :lol. There wouldn't be a Senate Duel shoot in your near future, would there? If there isn't...(in my best Picard voice) MAKE IT SO! :peace

[the dude person]

looking good Dorgs.

Finish him up quick so we can use him! Remember, as soon as you have the head down pat, you can just throw a robe over him if needed (but it looks like you got most of the right clothes)

The head looks great to me

your head as is

the sculpt would look PERFECT if you dabbed some brown flecks around his cheeks and forehead... maybe dilute the paint so it's semi-transparent, that way it'll blend in with the pink skin pretty well to make that dark muddy reddish color...

[galactiboy]

Great looking sculpt! Do you know who the original sculptor was?

[katkuru]

OMG! It can sculpt now!

[hemble]

Damn you Mark you can cast now lol, wish I could do that. The casting looks great and looking forward to seeing what else you come up with.

Ron

[Crimsonbob]

Dorgs m8 your amazing :banana

[Chakaman]

Looks great Mark, as usual.:D

[Dorgmal Snow]

Had a little play with the head sculpt.The original is three one in the really clean white one. I think the oginal is fab and who ever made is a chuffin genius. But I love to make stuff my own so I have worked into the casts I have made. The most resent is on the far right. I have tried to re-work the nose and mouth and added as many wrinkles and creases as I could.

At some stage I may well attempt to move the horns up the head a bit, but that is major surgery and I am more of a butcher than a sturgeon. Humm hang on .. a sturgeon's a fish, nurse! nurse! I need my pills!!

[galactiboy]

I like the revisions... adds a bit more of the ugliness of the character.

[Dorgmal Snow]

Want it to look more like this....

[FLOSI]

"spank me with a kipper I was most excited"

The sculpt is cool, but I think this line is currently the quote of the year for a very young 2010. :lol

[Dorgmal Snow]

Kipper spanking time Flosi, come on you know you want it!!.

Thought I would splash a drop of paint on the Tiin heads and whip the macro lens out!! My word gals it shows every imperfection!!!

I know nothing about painting heads so I am making it up as I go along. When I first joined the forum in Dec last year I found a really good tutorial for painting heads with pics and everything but I am buggered if I can find it now!!

[ProgMatinee]

looks awesome mark. if you ever have an extra one you are going to put scrap n the bin for if its not up to quality, please let me know if I can trade for it. I want to make a Tinn in armor.

Thanks.

"This tutorial shows you step by step instructions of the paints and finishes Hemble used to create his Ki-Adi-Mundi"
OMG it's a tut by Hemble! Saw this a year ago before I knew who Hemble was, didn't pay it much attention...

His customs I find to be most excellent...

[Crimsonbob]

Aye Hemble has semi-god like qualitites :banana

[agen_kolar]

AWESOME work! I definitely want one of these. Let me know if you ever decide to sell some!

[aioras19]

good head, is beautifull:monkey4

[Dorgmal Snow]

Well I feel a bit bad selling them really. As it is not my sculpt and I have no idea who sculpted it. But I will be totally honest, I really need some cash atm. There are a few projects I would love to do but dont have the cash.
There are two ships and a couple of figures I want to have a go at and I really need a bit of cash to work on the falcon.
But the other question is how much should the heads be.

The way I see it I think I should offer a basic head, uncleaned and a bit rough.

then cleaned

neck drilled

primed and I guess I could paint em up but I am still learning to paint heads.

What do you guys think?

mark

[Crimsonbob]

I'd sell unpainted reworked ones if i were u m8, keep it nice and simple. Also leave it to PM's and emails to sort out who wants what :peace

[Dorgmal Snow]

cheers for the advice Cbob, pms it is then! :)

[Dorgmal Snow]

Well let the casting begin....

PM for prices on casts....

I am only going to do a hand full, as I only have a little bit of resin plaster left :)

[Rogue Trooper]

Cool stuff, looks like you've nailed the casting process.

Looks like an Erik Barclay scuplt, the guy who also scuplted the amazing Master Chief.

[Dorgmal Snow]

Hi Rogue, I would to get in contact with him, just to say thanks and what an amazing job he did.

[Deathstalker]

I had this head for a few years , at least 4 I would say. I got it from generic site that listed the heads like... sci fi 1... or... sci fi 2 ...etc.,etc. If that rings any bells. I can't remember anything else about it. My skills were never up to the task and I thought Dorgs can make a go of it. Which he did in spectacular fashion.

[the dude person]

Cool stuff, looks like you've nailed the casting process.

Ah so you're the infamous Rogue Trooper! :drool OMG you do some good stuff...


...

So Dorgs you never said anything in reply to my offer to try making a Nien Nunb sculpt for you... prolly won't be great, but at least it could be free! :lol like I said I'll try whipping one up soon... need the sculpting XP points! (:lol... playing too many videogames... still want a +2 in figure making)

[Dorgmal Snow]

Couple more pics, I want to redo the horns as the cast was not that good.
Then I am gonna paint the body and hands. I am tempted to pop it on a SS bod rather than a TT

looks like a Sideshow release.Nice.

[Dorgmal Snow]

Ow I forgot to say those guys that have asked for heads. I have cast them but I want to give them a light spray undercoat before I send them out and unfortunately its been below 0 degrees here for at least a week and the mrs will freak if I start spraying car spray on the dinning room table LOL

[Crimsonbob]

looks damm amazing m8 love it :D

Great casting Mark - I've not got round to a 2nd attempt after my initial ____ up!

Want to post a walk through for us mere mortals?

can not wait to see em all painted up and on the forum. hope you like them as much as I do.

Mark

[Darthgothikus]

Hi Mark

just picked up 2 x cheap Cloneobis from Hong Kong for jedi/clone bashes, could use one of those heads (pretty please) when you get round to casting more. Would you like a Cloneobi head in exchange?

Cheers
Colin

[Dorgmal Snow]

Hummmm... so you bought them... I hate you....

[Darthgothikus]

Sorry. Too good to pass up, there's anotherone. Ending in a couple of days I'll leave that alone if you want it!

[Dorgmal Snow]

LOL I know I have been watching them for weeks but I am too tight to pay more than £25 as the postage is £15.

I will do you a cast this weekend and it will be in the post asap Colin. :)

but I still hate you

[drod26]

Hi Mark,

Great work mate.. Im interested in a cast. Can you put me down for one..

[Dorgmal Snow]

Yep no worries PM me your address and I will let you now the price drod :)

[ProgMatinee]

hey guys! thanks to the snow corp for the great S.T. headsculpt. This is only my second ever paint job and 1st alien. I like the fact with S.T. he is pretty much un messupable. I started with a base coat of salmon buff (sorry no pics of in progress). Then added some yellow ocre with a feathery brush. Kinda just patted up and down with the brush lightly as well as rubbed with my finger here and there, then followed up with some burnt sienna using the same application method as the ocre. I finally covered over with a thin wash of the original salmon again.

I of course need to do the eyes and horns, as well as some shading around the eyes.

I'm actually pretty happy with it for being such a noob. The picture came out a little more yellow than it is in person.

Thanks agan Mark!

[Dorgmal Snow]

Chuffin eck thats totally cool and you really have got a move on, I had to re-post your images bigger as they are amazing!

Can not wait to see more, are you goinna spray the armour grey and give him the jedi mankini? As for the helmet... Hasbro boba???

BTW my son was looking over my shoulder as I wrote this, his comment! "Wicked" what more need I say mate, brilliant job.

[Crimsonbob]

For a 2nd go at painting thats damn amazing n1 :peace

[galactiboy]

Looks great Prog :rock And a very clean looking sculpt!

[ProgMatinee]

thanks Mark and son! thanks crimsonbob and galactiboy. I give credit to the splotchy design of the character for how it came out so good. If it was a smoother design no way could I make it look good.

if i still have the hasbro boba i think that will be base for the helmet. if not I might use the SSC Jango helmet that came with mace windu.

I do want to get the armor grey like the cartoon, but man I am really bad at using spray paint I can't get it even and always leave runs and drips. i wonder if there is a way to dye it instead?

as for the jedi outfit, I think I'm going to wait and hope SSC makes him one day. :)

[Dorgmal Snow]

Spray cans are great but you cant rush it! shake the can loads and loads, then hold it a good distance from what ever you are spraying and move the can from left to right... dont worry if it has not covered it in the first go, just wait then do a bit more.. and a bit more.

I am desperately trying to get hold of some clone armour but darthgothikus keeps buying up all the clonobis LOL.

If I do manage to get some I will spray it up and if you like it I will send it over mate.

[Chakaman]

That looks great! Nice job Prog!!

[Ryan1982]

Nice paint work prog. Looks really good.

[katkuru]

Hey mark, if you've got a throw away cast send him my way, I could take a crack at making him a helmet. Would look something like this:

http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e170/POKIGURL/DSC07491.jpg
:D

[Darthgothikus]

LOL guess were going to be seeing a lot of these figures over the next few weeks (Thanks for the head Dorgs!) might have a bash at a mankini if I get time tomorrow.


Ahh heck. Everything I type on this forum ends up sounding a bit dodgy!! I'm really a very normal, well adjusted member of society, and my doctors will back me up on that.

[ProgMatinee]

i think for the helmet I'm going to cast the SSC fett helmet, resculpt, then cast it again. this will be my first molding, casting and resculpting! this figure is a first of a lot of things for me.

[ProgMatinee]

so i tried the dye experiment using powdered Rit. It doesn't work. not only does it not work but it stains the plastic in different colors. some dyed in the correct grey but some of it came out yellow or brown!! i guess its off to the spray paint. i'll tae your advice ande patient and do lots of coats.

[Darthgothikus]

Haven't had time to do anything more than stick Dorgs head onto a Clonobi body... but I'm excited about this bad boy already! He looks mean!

I think I'll go the whole hog with him:
1) remove the cape
2) Split the Groin and Abdomen armour apart so I can thread the "Mankini" in correctly.
3) Spray armour grey.
4) Fix the tusk which I have already snapped! Whoops! (dropped the damn thing on the floor as I was trying to take pics - damn floppy bodies!!!!!!)
