Sideshow 1:1 P1 bust custom

[riky]

Just wanted to share some pics and say thanks to the fellow freaks who helped me out on this.
Bought a damaged piece through the WTB section of the forums from Wilkster who was great to deal with. I had the piece fixed, custom quills made and custom painted by another fellow freak. I am not sure how public he is about taking these kinds of projects on so I will let him claim credit or remain anonymous if he wishes, but I would like to thank him publicly. He went so far above and beyond what I expected. His work and communication through out the process was second to none. Hope I did not post to many pics in my excitement. My wife hates it as much as my kids love it

Looks amazing. Congratulations on your success bringing him back to life, and how! Definitely a grail piece there and I imagine it was worth the wait to have it finished.

I love how the dreads fall naturally on his chest.

Congrats bud!

I asked the exact same question when I first saw the pics Nacho. Apparently it was purchased that way from BBTS at a discounted price way back when. I am surprised that there are not more stories like this out there after seeing how thin the castings really are
Thanks to THX it is better then ever and Stan is proudly displayed in his new home

Thanks guys. It was planned as a small patch and touch up job only. But can't help to do a little bit more. I'm glad that Riky is happy with it.

I'd love to do complete repaint but time is not on my side.

Very nice paint up!
I still don't like the dreads on this bust.
