Hey, is that the Eye-patch version of Naked Snake? Did it always have that extra strap on the eye-patch?

[metaphorge]

Hey, have a question for you about the Red Skull head you've got queued up for painting for me (and it's not "when you will be done with this?"; I don't mind waiting for it. Check your PM's s'il vous plait.

[matt82]

Look pretty green to me. :lol

And what do mean about the Anakin bit? :confused:

[DarkArtist81]

How backed up are you on repaints?

Well... I have about 40 heads on my shelf, a few full body customs a bust and a statue. :google

Pretty intimidating at times.

[Dark_Spidey]

Nice job on Big Boss Josh!

And yes, he's got green eyes. Snake only had blue eyes in the first metal gear solid (not twin snakes, the real one:D) but they've been green since MGS2.

[lerath666]

Hey, what's wrong with twin snakes?

[Dark_Spidey]

Hey, what's wrong with twin snakes?

Nothing. It's just that it could have been much better, one of the best if not the best game ever. I was disappointed many times when I first played the game (it sometimes felt like a jet li film, the graphics were a lot worse than MGS2, many dialogues were changed)
I guess that's because Hideo Kojima did not direct it. That's why the only real Metal Gear Solid is the one on psone imo.

[lerath666]

Didn't know Kojima did not direct it. i find that shocking, Considering his feelings for nintendo. (His favorite company, and Mr Miyomoto Being his hero) Even then, I did not notice too much of a dialogue shift. Still the same story, just with some newer cutscenes. and you can't tell me the post-fight cutscene with Raven in the tank is not the epitome of awesome.

Oh well, either way, bring on MGS 4. That will be the day I buy a PS3. and when I beat it might be the day I sell my PS3. So far, it's the only reason for me to get one.

Thanks man. And I will be touching up his eyes anyway to make them pop a bit more, right now the brown shows more than the green.

Anyhoo... something to get you excited DS! Here's some in work Hunk shots. He is almost there....

I said in the RE thread and I'll say it again here... awesome work!!!

He looked pretty badass before, but now the figure is perfect! The gore is great and I love the bloody barrel :rock

[p!tu]

That thing looks amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great job DA love the weathering!

[The ill Jedi]

WOW!!! Hunk looks amazing bro, he's gonna look awesome next to the Hot Toys RE figures and The Dead figures. :rock

[Dark_Spidey]

That's AMAZING Josh! Hunk is definitely going to be the best looking figure in my collection. YOU RULE BRO!:bow:bow:bow:bow:bow

[Anzik Hayes]

Damn, thats awesome.

Somewhere zombies are cringing!

[figuremasterles]

Terrific figure Josh. Don't have a clue what it is, or what it's from....forgive...(Is that umbrella corp logo?)...but he looks badass! :rock
Just my two cents.

Thanks a lot guys! And Les, he is from Resident Evil. Was part of an Umbrella Corp special forces team that he was the last survivor of, trying to get to the chopper with a sample of the virus in RE2. He had a tendency to become the final survivor of his team and was given the nickname... "Mr. Death". :rock

[Dark_Spidey]

Looks like you enjoyed RE2 as much as I did Josh. It's still the best RE game imo.
Btw, did you get my PM?

[DarkArtist81]

RE2 was my favorite game in the series, and the one I remember the most. I just loved running through a city infested with the undead, reminded me of my nightmares. :lol

All of it was perfectly done, the enemies, the dual disc format, characters. It was a great game and a more than worthy follow up to the original game. :rock

And yes DS, PM replied bro! :rock

[Rogue Trooper]

Very cool figure, all those accesories are really cool and the red eye are the gas mask are great. Looks like it was fun to make, ive been wanting to make one of the marines from Battlestar Galactica because they look cool like this and would be great to put together.

The game did rock. Except when the zombies grabed you and you had to try and get away, annoying.

That is freakin fantastic news!! You rule bro!

[DarkArtist81]

Today was both Horrible and eventful.... I drove to work, having a good drive and rocking out to Nirvana "Incesticide" until I arrived at my workplace parking area and tried to park. A girl I work with decided to park in a hurry and take two spots up with her giant Denali truck.

So when I went to park, I almost hit her vehicle... realized how tight the spot was and started to back out... I got rear ended by another person coming in to park across from me. :google

So I rushed out to the other car, made sure the girl was ok.. checked our damage, which was barely a scratch but still scared us. She told me not to worry about it and so I just parked and went inside. Once I got in, I got more and more angry... so I started telling people the story, not realizing that the Denali in two spots was whose it was. The person I was telling the story to, however, DID know.. and he told me it was Ornella's.

So I went to storm down to the nurses station to let her know about it and to vent a bit. She wasn't there so I told the other nurses to let her know her parking job sucked ass and that she needs to know her role and such. I then, sadly, added that she thought that just because she was hot that she could do anything she wanted, but I wasn't going to let it go just because of that.

So I went back down to my work area and started doing my job. A few minutes later she comes barreling down the hallway telling me that she wanted me "outside" so we could handle our business, yelling at me calling me harsh names and saying that I wasn't much of a man if I wouldn't go out there and slug it out with her. I yelled back and defended my manhood, letting her know that no matter what she did I was not going to resort to violence against any woman... no matter how annoying or stuck up she was. She almost hit me in the hallway until one of our managers came in and broke it up thankfully.

Needless to say I got talked to and almost got written up and it made the rest of my day taste like someone had crapped in my mouth. But I was paid hours later and the taste faded away as I shipped the packages I needed to ship and made my way home.

Just to show you what I was facing today, here is a pic of the girl in question... on the right. :monkey4

Yeah, her family is Spanish... moved from Spain when she was a little girl. She's very self centered and mean at times. She farts and acts nasty all the time as well, I find her less and less attractive over the time I have worked with her. Today was just the final straw. I usually wouldn't air my business like this, but she really pissed me off... attacking me like that today in front of patients and coworkers alike.

I thought her boyfriend (who works with us too) was going to come after me about it, but he actually agreed that she was out of line. He's just used to it. :lol

[galactiboy]

In that photo she's got a bit of she-male thing going in the face... maybe that's why she wanted to **** you up so bad :lol

Anyway, good rule of thumb is to try and avoid complaining about coworkers when you're pissed... we always seem to say too much :lol Good luck bro :rock

[abstractharmony]

Josh,

I'm having Lonnie send you a Clint Eastwood (Good, Bad, & Ugly) head and hat combo direct to the usual address.

Hope that's OK?

No rush.

So what does this Denali do at your place of business again? :confused:

So, who is the one on the left?

That's a friend of mine who works with me too. Her name is Ashley, she's really nice, bought me comics for my birthday last year. Really sweet and kind.

Ornella is a nurse at the Dermatology clinic where I work, she drives the Denali. And NO they didn't make her park it right. :lol

[DarkArtist81]

Sorry to go off topic... but I need to tell everybody something really quick here. Most of the stuff shipped today, and I will work my hardest to get the rest out ASAP.

Art takes time, the people who are waiting on their stuff to be finished.... I apologize for the stuff taking so long, and I will do my best to get it all out to you. Just please take into account that I only get an hour or so a day to paint and it can take me sometimes months to get done with a project for someone, due to being behind. Updates will always come through this thread, so keep an eye and wait for your stuff to come through.

It's ok to PM me if it's been months and you haven't heard anything, but not every day. This stuff is not easy and takes a lot of concentration and time to complete. Patience will reward you all with a fantastic repaint or figure so please be kind and understand my situation....:o

If I'm rushed I will only produce shoddy work and that doesn't help anybody.

Also, on the shipping front. I think that from now on I will charge my normal flat fee for a repaint and once I ship ask for the shipping costs as well. This way I am not getting raped on shipping and basically painting stuff for free. And it helps everyone, in that people's stuff will come sooner and not later.

Thanks again to everyone for being cool about the delays and I promise... updates soon. :rock

General Question:

What's the best method of getting these heads back on their bodies after you've received them from Josh? I've heard some use a little bit of dish soap inside the socket (in the case of Hot Toys) and it seems to pop on more easily.

Thoughts?

I know I would much rather wait for a fantatastic repaint than get a crappy one in a few weeks. Plus, the figures are much safer at your place versus the Post Office.

S.A.G.

Well, the resin ones just require a steady hand and some force... as far as the Hot Toys ones go. It's hard and sometimes you get a stiff necked figure, which is why I normally don't go for that type of neck from Hero heads. I just get it drilled out for a SSC neck or Dragon style and find a HT neck adapter so you can just glue it on.

But seeing as Hudson is the first type, with the long neck... you just have to be careful and force that baby on. You can maybe use some soap or some sort of lubricant if you want.. that might help.

The plastic ones that come from the manufacturer like the Hicks or whatever.. you can use boiling or a hairdryer. :rock

[MaulFan]

Hey Josh, PM if you get a chance, I have something I want to discuss with you that might be worthwhile to ya.

And everyone.. I was going to post some pics tonight, but alas... my camera batteries are dead and are being recharged as we speak. Tomorrow there will be pics I promise. :rock

[piccolodaimaoh]

Sorry to hear about your employee parking lot car troubles. It sucks when you get into an accident or have trouble with an attracitve female, for some reason things don't always work out in your favor.
A few years ago a attractive girl hit me while I was going into a toll booth. Her vehicle had more damage than mine but as it wasn't my fault I thought her insurance should pay for any repairs. She ends up lying to her insurance that it was my fault and I don't see a cent. Some people.
Keep you composure and keep the faith, cooler heads prevail, that's how I see things.

Thank Josh!!!

That is just an all around kick ass figure, Josh, very well done my friend!

[DarkArtist81]

Dude, that is freakin great! I love your pics too, much better than my own. :lol

And you've certainly got the mood down with the pose, I like him to look like he's got that intense stare that Michael Biehn got a few times in the Terminator. He was so believable in that part, and mostly because of how intense his performance was. :rock

Glad he got there safely man...

[sladesuperagent]

That thing is sooo SWEET! Damn you Joe!!!

Forgive the crappy pics.

On a side note, I almost tossed the Wolverine head. Completely forgot I sent it for service. I only found it in the box as I was taking out the garbage.

Those look great! Josh has been a busy guy! :rock

Hey Bwayne, better get Mulder's clothes ready...:D

And GB, what coat is that for your Reese? Looks cool!

Great work all around Josh!

I can't remember. I think it was listed as a rain coat on War-toys.com. Not exactly what I wanted, but it works.

[superactionguy]

Well, they're here and, they are AWESOME! Unfortunately, Hudson just can't seem to cooperate and his neck cracked after some forceful pushing. Luckily it's somehow all the way on and still offers range of movement.

Well, Hudson does crack under pressure in the film so why not his toy? :rotfl

If someone can tell me how to embed pictures from my site on Picasa I'd love to share a few of Hudson and Hicks.

Nice pics Michael!! I love seeing them all together so fast... And thank GOD you didn't toss Wolverine... that would have been horrible. :lol

Love the blaster marks on the clones chest. Do you paint those, or scratch the paint surface off?

PS - A shot of the Obi's in progrees wouldn't be bad... lol!

[Darren Carnall]

Obi shots very soon! I am shortening all the necks as we speak. But by hand with a knife...

something I figured out for when I've been doing this with my own heads Josh, a sheet of sandpaper on your desk.... hold the head onto it, making sure the base of the neck is flat.... and rub side to side. It gives a perfect flat level bottom to the neck. And takes it away evenly. Much faster than trying to cut it manually

Will do Darren! I had tried that with my sanding blocks, but not sandpaper. I will have to get some today or tomorrow. Cutting it away with a knife is a ***** and it takes a lot of concentration to get the bottom flush.

And thanks for all of the comments guys... It really is super appreciated. Venny, that Bruce is about 90% done, still have some minor touches to do here and there but it's coming along. :rock

Hey DA I have a quick question for you, what is the scale of that Captain Miller sculpt? I was thinking of getting one, it looks smaller than the rest in that picture, is it 1/6?

Nice to see that you are back, BC. I do in fact have a few more coming, Angel, Graduation Day Buffy, Willow and maybe a season 8 Warren. Should be something posted soon. :rock

Yeah, it's 1:6. Just a tad smaller than normal. It looks best on a Dragon body, all others just make his head look tiny. But it is a fantastic likeness and well worth the dough.

Great job on this Josh. Terrific.
Did you draw those lines in, or tape them? And the paint looks perfect! You are coming on strong with these clones bro! I am VERY impressed!

:monkey2:monkey2:monkey2

Wow, Les! Thank you soo much for the kind words. This one was a snap for me, after the others. The hardest part was matching the orange paint, took me quite a few mixings to get that right. The lines I drew on with a pencil, using both the movie stills and pics of the Hasbro toys as reference. The legs were tricky, you don't get many shots in the film of the trooper's legs.

Also, as for weathering, I wanted the lines on his outfit to be a bit more crisp so great care was taken to keep it sharp. And I did not add a lot of dirt, just some clay mud spray on the feet and lower legs and a few blaster marks/scrapes. In the end it was really my favorite of the bunch, wish I had more to make one for myself.

Gotta love that Utapau trooper! :rock

Pm replied. :rock

And also guys... I wanted to tell you a messed up story of how I got screwed yet again and it is holding up my business. :emperor

My bank screwed me big time. I have money now, thankfully... but no real access to it. I'm glad I shipped out all the boxes I had last Friday with cash, so at least most of the stuff made it out the door.

But here is my current situation, I cancelled out my extra accounts and they killed my current debit card as well. At first I thought my credit needed the weekend to show up in my account, but alas it was not the case. The money was there, just could not access it. So all of my bills didn't go through and I lost a few Sideshow orders as well, including one that I bought with my $100 gift card that I won. :monkey4

I'd write a check, but the place I ship through doesn't take anything else but cash and I am not having another JAWS shipping incident where I spend $130 to ship something and lose half the money I got for it. So I stick with these guys. So this will hold up shipping on my end....AGAIN. So bear with me guys, as I get my new debit card in the mail and the boxes start moving again. It will be soon, hopefully in the next week. :rock


So I have a new card coming soon and should be able to get to my money during this next week. I apologize for the hold up

And Les, I will have money then... saving already!

[abstractharmony]

Josh.

Dude...

Get a new bank man! Tell 'em to stick your new card up their asses! Over here in the UK the banks are always offering some crazy 0% interest deal on balance transfers to get you to switch over. I don't know what it's like in the states but you might wanna consider it.

But yah, you do seem to be having a right old run of it at the moment.

Quick question, I'm preety sure that I already know the answer to this but wanted to check, was mine one of the ones that shipped or are we still holding? Just so's that I know when to check with my post office.

Cheers Dude and chin up, it could always be worse...

Just imagine if say a crazed plasto maniac like Monk broke into your house, stripped off and started fondling your toys and taking photos. That's GOTTA be worse...

[Anzik Hayes]

Josh, this is just my two cent and I mean it in the best way. I'm just a glass half full sort of guy but...
I frequently run through some of my trials and tribulations to people who generally give me a raised eyebrow and tell me how much bad luck I've had, to which I counter:
I have a home, kids, and unlimited opportunity. I can worship whatever religion I want... or not. I can come and go as I please. I can even make cool back grounds in my basement, that people buy to display toys on. You have had some bad luck, but minor and temporary bad luck. You have the brains and the talent to overcome these little inconveniences.
I know that you are well aware of all this, so my little soapbox is more for the audience. Think how lucky are you to have a home, a wife, a job, an ability to use your talent to bring in a nice extra income.
How lucky are all of us that we can afford to spend more than some people make in a year on toys?
This is just a bump in the road that will soon pass, in the mean time you have people waiting in a long line just to own some of your work. That is a wonderful thing. You have been given the talent to bring joy to people when they get to own some of your work. That is lucky, no thats a blessing.

Josh, couldn't help but spot Buffy prominently nude in the back there, we going to get some Scully-esque shots haha.

[Voorhees27]

Man Josh you're really really good at this stuff, first off, I wouldn't even know who the hell Michael Ironside is if you told me but right when I saw that sculpt I said that has to be the guy from Total Recal.

Amazing bro!

The Joker is KICK ASS!!!!! :chew

Thanks a lot Roy! It took me a looong time to get that Ironside sculpt to look right for me, lots of hair work and eyes. But in the end, it's comments like that that make me feel that I got the likeness. Thank you so very much. Sunohc did an amazing job on the sculpt, so a lot of credit goes out to his talent.

:naughty ......Don't you know it. :lol

[MaulFan]

Ironside does look good Josh, I see him in there, but my familiarity with him is from watching "V" with my father and the brief time he came onto SeaQuest, both appearance featuring very animated, Nicholson Joker style eyes, an almost comical-seriousness, but again, I do see him in there despite the difference in expression, so kudos to you and Sunhoc for capturing his essence.

Thanks a lot Sean! It was a pain, because I was used to his mad or crazy eyes myself... and once I painted them in... just didn't work with the sculpt, so I redid them... and redid them... It took me a while until I got to this version and it finally matched. Not as Iconic, but at least still looks like the actor during his more calm scenes. :lol

[pixletwin]

I spy 3 of my heads in there... My thirst is satiated for now. Thanks Josh. :rock

[mrhatrulez]

That Ironside head is truly awesome! Next you need a custom Marc Singer head and it could be a V family reunion!
I see some young Obi heads there. Could one of them be mine???

:D

You still need to check your PMs Josh :D

More money is on it's way soon Josh, as well as some more work!!

I can't wait for everyone to see your new Zombies...you guys are gonna LOVE 'em!! :rock

[Stendec]

Great work DA, those head paint ups look phenomenal.

When I read MFs post about Ironside in this page I quickly went back a page thinking you were working on a custom of the famous detective in a wheel chair :rotfl . . . that would have been sweet. Still, your Michael Ironside is excellent none the less. That guy scares me in every movie he is in.

No sweat Josh, it's amazing how subtle things like eye expression can really take a sculpt and make or break it. You can have someone perfectly sculpt the anatomy of an actor, but if the character's persona isn't there in the sculpt, no matter how anatomically correct it is, something will always feel off. Kudos to you for working past your own mental images and coming out on top of things once again.

[figuremasterles]

Great works of late, Josh!

And I love your worktable! :D
And, I see the Casino Royale cup, STILL! :rock
Man, that was the best gifty I ever gave anyone! Use that dude!

BTW, I can see you had fun with Ironside. That can be daunting. And I like your wild Joker! You finally got to him and got him done! Bravo dude!

[pixletwin]

The Han Solo, Faramir and Asajj are mine. :blissy

[Ironman1188]

Josh, I think it is widely agreed how great you and Les are in the paint up department. Its not fair to insert pix of the actual actor and say its a head you painted though. LOL
That Michael Ironside looks like Ham Tyler was decapitated and you wound up with his head. Great job!! And refreshing after all the Star Wars.
I am constantly in awe of you. :bow

What type of paints and brushes do you recommend?

[DarkArtist81]

What type of paints and brushes do you recommend?

Sorry man, I still hadn't replied to your PM yet... Well, brushes... I don't have certain ones that I use. Just a variety of small round tipped brushes, a few large round tips for drybrushing, and a few random flats for those odd situations that warrant it.

Paints, best type to use is Model Master Acryl. You can find it online and at Hobby Lobby. You will absolutely need Warm Skin Tone, Base Skin Tone, Burnt Sienna, Umber of some sort, Red, Blue, Yellow, White and black. All other colors are secondary. Also for colors that you use for hair and dirt, various browns and blacks... you can use Apple Barrel paint from Walmart to save cash. The color is more chalky, so I would never use it for skin, but it works great for hair and dirt.

Anything else you need, don't hesitate to ask! :rock:rock:rock

Thanks a lot man! I am just soo happy you got him safely! I was starting to get worried there, the PO wasn't telling me anything. :lol

It looks great displayed in there though, just as much a badass as he should be. I really had a blast working on him and with the wound it was nice that it was a HT rubber body... because I just gouged out some arm and went to town with the blood and gore. Really wanted it to look good under scrutiny. Glad to see that it was effective! It was wonderful doing business with you man, hope to again sometime! :rock

Nice work Josh, there are some Reno remnants in that head, but your paint's really departed it from him.

Josh, I saw your comment elsewhere about a new sig for here, I sent you a PM about it and I threw you on my SIG list in the Art Show forum.

[El Roranous]

You made that weird Frodo mouth thing go away and for that I salute you. You actually made that PF worth buying now....IMO of course. :D

Great work on your latest stuff Josh!
Is it possible to see P!TU's dad to compare with what you've done there? I am amazed that you did what you did with the Jean Reno. Great glasses too! Where'd those come from?
