300 Armor...In the works

[Got Maul]

Hey all,

I thought I would share some in progress pics of my latest project from only the coolest movie so far this year : 300.

I am working on making some Gaunts for myself and for my rascal bandits of half naked men for Dragon Con this year.

The finished product will be in Hyperfirm. For those who don't know what that it is, its a flexible, self skinning high density foam that pics up detail like nobody's business !

Anyhow, if people on this board find of it interest, I could also generate a small run here, just like Sarge.

Regardless, this will be my update thread :

WITH FLASH SO FAR :

Any constructive criticism is always wanted ! :thumbsup

Just in case anyone was wondering what part this is :

 

[Dark One]

That is a very nice sculpture José. Nice detailing and strong lines. I like the way you've accented the muscle.

¿Perhaps a preview at the meeting place this weekend?

Be well,
Thomas

Re: kudos

Thomas ! Good hearing from you bud. Thanks for the compliments considering the great work you have done. I wish I could it bring it with me, but alas, the poor thing would melt or get messed up if I subjected the clay sculpt to the plane ride over.

[Got Maul]

To answer for Jose - No.

Tim,

Is there one in Downtown Disney ? THe only place I could think of is that one shop that sells movie and music memorabelia.

Yeh I thought last time I was there I saw one, but maybe I was mistaken

I know what you are thinking about...its the Gladiator Praetorean guard they have for sale - that's been up there forever. as far as I know the screen used stuff hasn't been released yet.

Jose,
Great work.

 

[Got Maul]

Thanks guys. More update pics to come. Adding some of the dimpling, believe it or not, its actually kind of challenging to get that weathered effect !!
