Re: a rangeas and a pirate the pirate looks awesome!! is it the paint or does it have a texture feel to it?
Re: a rangeas and a pirate Your stuff is always nicely done and loved seeing your entries at S7 show too!
Re: a rangeas and a pirate Replace the eye patch w/ a bandaid. But great job on both. Really like the Rangeas.
Re: a rangeas and a pirate thanks guys, i finished up a himalayan today. the windup mechanism still works. he doen't move of course but it makes the windup sounds
GREAT concept and execution on the windup idea. The arm and head seams really bring it to life and add a great touch. You made a boring toy look amazing, which I think is a huge feat.
First reaction on the Himalan was "wtf yet another distressed custom why is everyone bothering to do these!?" then noticed it was an homage to a worn wind up tin toy and its damn impressive. Nice work.
Motor- did you actually cut each part of the HImilan to give it seams? Looks really good. Phil still want that Plaseebo?
thanks guys. the himalayan was fun. and the color choice was an homage to this guy i thought about doing grayscale for that old black and white effect but thought it was too plain. this gives it a bit of pop. for the seems i use a woodburning tool. after several of these types of toys i've found the woodburning tool is best for seems. there was a dough boy a few years ago that i chopped to pieces and then reconstructed to get that look, but it's so much work. the tool is much faster. i use it for the seems on all my metal toys, i just ususally cut off the excess vinyl. i'm always up for a plaseebo toy pike, but the himalayan was a commission. thanks again. i'll just keep this thread for all my kaiju stuff. might help cut down on clogging the board
That Cap'n started out life as a Berry Stomper Pirate. The day it came in the mail I shipped it off to Motorbot- Literally did the quickchange AT the post office and sent it out for painting. The texture in the paint is amazing in hand.
