Statue BLITZWAY- Enter the Dragon- Bruce Lee Tribute 1/3 scale Statue Ver. 2 spec

[xpl0sive]

For those with concerns on his right cheek...

Hi mate,

You did an amazing job on this statue! You accepting commissions? Would love to get mine looking the same.

 

[xpl0sive]

It's a customers.



Same here, too bad we don't live in the US, it would cost hundreds to ship this statue over there.

I'm willing to do it, up to a certain price. Could ship just the Bruce body in a smaller box with lots of foam and padding to reduce shipping costs.

 

[Tyderium]

Epic work.
Nice to see a re-paint at this level.
It's how the production piece should have looked.

 

[mrchris]

just shows what should have been.

I also like individual touches such as the smudged blood on the right cheek moving the piece into more custom and scene specific territory.

 

[mrchris]

strange how that scene (above)was deleted for 25years or so in the west years due to warners thinking it was too philosophical for western folk (along with the opening monk scene)

Thanks buddy yes I did thicken them up and added a few runs... but I pretty much follow the lines.

Well what ever you did, you made a huge improvement, they no longer look big blobs of glue.

The back claw mark is the worst part of this statue . Your really limited in what you can do with them paint wise. Glad its ion his back lol

Yeah true, for me that is just a minor nit pick, the sweat paint apps and the simple claw mark designs is what makes this statue look like a poor quality statue, even though it isn't.

I'm willing to do it, up to a certain price. Could ship just the Bruce body in a smaller box with lots of foam and padding to reduce shipping costs.

The box has to be less than 140 cm in girth, for Australia post to ship it. Will the statue be able to fit in a box smaller than that? I am pretty sure only courier companies like Fed X, DHL UPS, etc will be able to take this and they will charge a few hundred at least to ship this. That being said, I hope you can prove me wrong.

Epic work.

Yeah that is how it should have looked, but given the price and scale of the statue, I think we all knew it wasn't going to look like this. The only thing that is inexcusable on this statue is the sweat apps and horrible simple design claw marks , as the paint job shading on the statue is decent as it has different tones, despite that the flesh tone is too pale in color.

I think it might be time to get my paints and brushes out and do my cuts,i've put it off for various reasons but now may be the time.

just started my mirrors too, already looking awesome

 

[mrchris]

Looking forward to seeing some pics of the finished article mate..finally took the plunge and redid the cuts,slightly lightened/widend them and gave the appearance of smudges.cheeks look better body cuts need a bit more work on them.but they stand out/pop much better.I'm pretty happy.

 

[Tyderium]

Nice.
Might need to see some pics mate.

 

[mrchris]

I kinda tried and go with the wider cuts look of the proto,rather than the elaborate(and tricky)runs that others have done.even just a slightly lighter colour stops the cuts looking flat/cheap and pop more.i tried to give the smudge look that would be created when you move/bend,and did a couple of very faint runs also.pretty happy.

 

[Tyderium]

Sounds good. Any small mod will be an improvement on those factory cuts.

Pics !?!

 

[mrchris]

c'mon guys you know how my photo taking skills suck.here's a few,the face cuts are an extreme close up of about 2/3inches and look a bit messy,but they look really good from a few feet away.i think just going over the cuts with a lighter/glossier colour lifts them really well.
like I've said nothing professional but inhand i'm happy.





there's 2 lightly coloured sweat/blood runs coming from the chest cuts(faint but they are there.)
and smudging slight runs from the ABS/face..looks much better IMO than the factory cuts.

 

[mrchris]

I tried wife's phone..this is taken with the statue inside the glass case


i'm no pro but i'm happy as the cuts pop more

 

[FriendlySamurai]

nice! think you'll take a shot at the sweat too?

 

[mrchris]

cheers mate.i'm thinking of maybe trying some sweat runs to try and blend the blobs better.i tried following the sweat on the abs and adding some light blood smudges,turned out ok I think.

Looks good buddy Its amazing what the lighter red blood does to this piece.

 

[mrchris]

yeah I always thought the cuts were dull and flat looking,just lightening them with a little smudging looks better.shame about the distance between them but they don't look as fake if that's the correct phrase.
