Pm sent

 

[AGxM]

Thanks Mangalore - hope this goes ahead

 

[Darthanguish]

Definitely put me down for one!

 

[xkuco]

What is price for unpainted? I would like to paint it myself

 

[MattgomeryBurns]

Hmm I think I have a similar bust, not sure the origins, but I would love to add the sunglasses and earpiece.

In the dokumetation "The Alien Element: Mangalores (The Fifth Element Behind the Scenes)" at around 2.35min you can see the original "Kounan" bust from which molds were taken.
Casts from these molds apears from time to time on Ebay.
All of them i have seen had the same casting issues as shown in my building-up thread.
And all had no "correct" additional parts to complete the bust.

 

[xkuco]

No answer?

 

[Mangalore]

Sorry, i dont have an answer right now. I will think about selling an unpainted kit or parts and let you know.

 

[Mangalore]

Hi, i thought about selling a unpainted kit or parts and this is what i can offer:

unpainted kit . . . . . 450 USD + shipping

I will not sell any parts seperately.
Why?
The complete head consists of several parts and some are easy to make , some needs good work time
and some others needs an extreme amount of time as the googles or the teeth.
They are a 2-color cast which is superior compaired to a normal grey resin cast which has to be painted then.
They are more realistic this way.
I would have to ask for higher prices for these pieces compared to the head and i
dont want to discuss prices. So sorry.....

 

[Mangalore]

Any more interested fans here?

 

[PropsToHistory]

I would be interested in an unpainted version

edit: spelling is hard

 

[Mangalore]

I would be interested in an unpainted version

Macorrie do you want to be put on the list?

 

[PropsToHistory]

yes, please my friend

 

[Mangalore]

Perfect, only one more to start the run.

 

[Dao2]

I'll be that one more

Any chance you could also make a base for it as well? If so I'd be interested, especially if something kinda fancy/thematic could be done

 

[Mangalore]

What could that be? A plaque or something unique as a base?

 

[Dao2]

A simple base at least would be great, but anywhere from a plaque or if you want to get real fancy a simplified version of this

 

[Mangalore]

I will think about a plaque or something like a base but for now
the offer is for the complete head only.

 

[Mangalore]

OK then, i guess it will take about 2-3 weeks to make the heads.
Of course i will tell here from time to time how it goes on with the run
and only when the casts find your approval i will charge you buyers and send them out.
If you have any questions dont hesitate to ask here.
