Any updates ? Waiting for my Bossk since Dec04 from the USA.

Ok, last night I removed the ribbed collar from the neck; got a pretty clean separation, all things considered. Still haven't decided if I'll try to remove the jaw; to do so seems like it'll create a whole raft of air traps(like, every tooth). I'm planning to order some more rubber next week. You blokes better be serious about wanting castings;this is getting expensive!...PS

 

[monkeybat]

Im in, let me know how it goes.

Time for the semi-weekly update...
After much thought, I decided to remove the jaw, mostly just to see how tight it was. After about 10 minutes grinding with my trusty Dremel it popped right off. Here's where it stands at present...

Dig the warts on the tongue and palette!
Tonight I'll recreate the socket with wax, and lengthen the neck. I figure that it's better to have a bit of extra meat than come up short...PS

man this is just getting better and better!! LOve it

 

[monkeybat]

Any more ?

 

[BUZZ]

I am really impatient to see more

 

[wax murderer]

Well, we can't have that...UPDATE!
Since our last episode, I've re-sculpted(and lengthened) the neck and jaw socket. Without further ado...

The modified head and neck,in wax,with the jaw in place;.................................................The re-created jaw socket...

A closer shot of the connection;note the tight detail, which is easily done with the wax;...............Front view; nice teeth!
I think I've hit on a trick to get the teeth to cast properly, without any air traps, but I haven't tested it yet. Hopefully, this week. For this kind of work, wax is clearly the best material, as it holds fine detail extremely well and is easy to modify as needed. Onward!...PS

Nice and clean sculpting! Cant wait to see how the cast turn out!

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

Stunning under jaw sculpt!!

 

[galactiboy]

Great work blending into the sculpt! Detail work like that would make me go cross-eyed

 

[wax murderer]

Thanks. Actually, the scales make it a bit easier to get a good blend. Much more challenging to get a clean transition with a smooth surface...PS

 

[barryo]

very nice work. do you have any idea yet as to how many you will make & price & so forth???

 

[Boba Felder]

WOW...this is going to be good for sure!!!

 

[wax murderer]

Haven't really thought about the price too much, but I'll try to keep it reasonable. As to how many... I'll try to meet the demand while the molds are useable...PS

 

[Boba Felder]

I would be interested in a head and the weapon.
