Thanks!
WOW! I just went through the review section on this book. It must be like The Bible of sculpting

Incredible paint-ups, Cheungkinmen!

Got my Jack done yesterday:

I'll find some better hands for him eventually.

Is that water or some permanent solution to do the sweat?

 

[Greggo]

I finally got a chance to paint this beautiful sculpt! I hope you like it?

Some more images of Locke with added Scar.

Couple quick questions, since I think I'm finally gonna go for a few LOST 12" figures...maybe it's the LOST withdrawal and I just need SOMETHING! Is the Locke head still available to buy? I didn't see a link in the first post of this thread like all the others had.

And for those who have larger 12" collections than I and maybe have one of the sculpted muscular True Type bodies, do you think with a little modification(add a bit of a gut) they would work for Locke? I'd really want to have sculpted arms on my figure, but wouldn't want him to look too huge and inaccurate.

Many thanks!

Hey JRSly. Sorry about that. I was under the impression Locke was another limited run and sold out. I have a Small_Studios painted Locke sculpt and a full Jack for sale if you're interested. Pm me if you are.

Thanks! That's awfully tempting, I'm definitely going to keep my eye on your thread, an astounding paint job. I'll see if I can manage that when I get paid, once I factor in the holidays and other various expenses.

And I guess I could've answered my own question about the muscular bodies if I was paying better attention, wouldn't work with Locke's sculpted neck.

 

[beeshaw]

No sweat! I love the paint up on him but GDB has painted all my other heads so I when the second run of Locke's came out I snatched one up hoping to get him to paint it up. You know, have a little consistency in my collection.

And for Locke on a muscle body: if you can get your hands on a set of Muscle body ARMS you can switch them out for a regular True Type's arms. Just an idea. Or dremel off Locke's neck (although his 'old' neck is part of the awesomeness of the sculpt IMO).

Definitely, I'd hate to lose that. I might look into an arm swap or consider a good fully clothed look...though I think they'd all pale to his more iconic tee-shirt looks.
