Trying to bash together a Rick Grimes

[Serge703]

So im trying to put together a Rick Grimes. I've found clothing and accessories here and there on ebay but i'm wondering if anyone has an idea about a good headsculpt? I found this one that looks pretty good in the pictures ( https://www.timewalkertoys.com/Head-Sculpt-Rick-Belet-1-6-Scale-p/blt-009.htm ) The problem is that i can't find it anywhere but at this store and this store says that it is a pre-order item and it should release in July. The problem is it's almost two months later and there isn't any info about it.

These guys have it on PO for an estimated 3Q release date.

Thanks for the heads up.

Any idea where I could find a python revolver that isn't crazy expensive? i saw one on ebay for 50 bux but that's too much

Cut the chain off and paint.

That looks awesome, i've never painted anything for this hobby before though. Easy to explain what I might need? like what kind of paint and tools to use? Thanks again.

Be patient - one sixth kit is about to release the belt and Python. They sell them on ebay.

Onesixthkit did come out I believe...they're ok but you can def get better.

Are you sure the gun is part of that set from onesixthkit? According to their website, it looks like just the belt:

I talked to one of the people that runs the store, they said that they're working on the gun and it's not quite ready yet. They said they aren't sure if it will be released later individually or as part of the holster/belt, ideally they said that they would like to release it both ways.

How accurate is their belt? And how is the quality? I am a little OCD and the pics are quite small...

 

[siquisiri]

That belt looks pretty good for the price..

Do you have any in hand pics of your figure with that head sculpt on or a least in hand pics of that head sculpt in different lighting? Also I was thinking about when I get the shirt weathering it by doing using coffee to create sweat stains .

I've never done anything like it before does anyone know if you just dip your finger in the coffee and apply some to the areas you'd want such as under the neck and around the elbows . I'm guessing you don't have to apply a coating of seal weathering with coffee as you would have to doing it other ways?

That's the iminime Town Sheriff recast head sculpt.

The belt looks to be the same as the iminime one too, so don't know who the original makers were. ZCWO i think, could be wrong on that one though.

 

[siquisiri]

ill post pics later today

 

[Serge703]

Anyone know where to buy this rifle?

[Dingobuzz269]

Out of curiosity Serge, you plan on buying one of the Redman Sheriff outfits?

 

[Serge703]

Nah, I ended up buying
Shirt: https://www.gijoeelite.com/f_itemPart.asp?strPart=GIWT-26C
Pants:https://www.gijoeelite.com/f_itemPart.asp?strPart=GICTP-FU500
Boots: https://onesixthkit.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=99_104&product_id=253
Belt:https://onesixthkit.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=99_104&product_id=296
Head: Not sure, might get the one the guy mentioned a few posts up.
I will wait for that redman casual outfit to get parted out to get the Revolver and hopefully the Machete.

There's a not so great quality pic of it so far.
