VashDStampede's 1/6 head sculpts and custom figures - Nacho Libre, 1989 Batman Boombox Goon, The Princess Bride, Doctor Who, The Fly

Here's a print test of the new head, and I think it's looking a lot better:

WOW, those are all awesome. Wish I had your skills.

Regarding The Princess Bride figures: did you make Inigio's sword as well?

Thanks! I just try my hand at different things just to see if I can do it. Trial and error most of the time.

For Inigo’s sword, I just used an existing 1/6 scale sword and removed the guard. I then used some gold wire and twisted it, tied and shaped it, then flattened it down with a small hammer. I used my wife’s UV nail polishes and with a toothpick, I dripped it in different sections to create the jewels.

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Damn. That's clever. Turned out great.

Not much to update with the sculpt, but I got the Lt. a little companion:

Here's the v2 of Columbo's badge that I made. There's a working pocket on the picture side so I can replace it with a new photo if needed:

More props for Columbo:

I designed, printed, and painted the pencils. The egg is Sculpey.
I tried to replicate the Citadel notebook as seen in one of the earlier episodes as well as the writing and doodle.
My wife wanted me to make him his peanut butter and raisin bread, so I did.
I may never get to it, but I really would like to get his 1959 Peugeot 403 Cabriolet printed out to go with the figure.

Finally got around to shortening the body and I think the proportions look a lot better now:

Not too much progress, but I did muss up his hair a bit:

I was in a Doctor Who mood lately, so I worked on an 11th Doctor which was a highly modified Daemon Targaryen sculpt by FRKN.

Here’s a test print of the WIP sculpt:

And the painted print:

I’m still tweaking the sculpt to make the hair fuller, thin out the width of the nose and mouth.

wow so good

 

[Hylanos]

these are amazing!

 

[VashDstampede]

Thanks flimsy and Hylanos!
It’s been a while since I painted at this scale, so I’m out of practice, but I’ve learned a few new techniques.
I still need a new computer so I can sculpt faster, but sadly it’s not in the budget at the moment.

 

[Lotr]

Wow, so cool Columbo. Creat idea. It's such detailed. His face is really difficult to make. You do great with eyes.

 

[VashDstampede]

I keep forgetting to update this.
Here are a few things I’ve been working on.

I’d love a 1/6 scale Rory Williams, Amy Pond’s husband from Dr Who.

I made one a while back, I guess I didn’t post him.
