Lets build some Nux bobbleheads. A fun and quick project!
All of the research done (not by me) and my inspiration came from this thread: https://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=239913&highlight=nux+bobblehead
I originally made a custom request to have the parts come in kit form from a seller on Etsy called DappledLightStudio who is also known as @logan74k here on the RPF. He is awesome to deal with and his parts are top quality. I got one and put it together. I had a few more couplings left over so... I got three more kits. I have scaled all the pictures available online and over-layed his parts. Spot on match. Another thank you goes to @Mr Webber who helped me a bunch and is an all around good guy.
Here is what a got from DappledLightStudio. I had a few parts omitted because I am strange. Gotta use real couplings. A bit on that in a minute.
Here is his skulls more closely. These are raw cast, so they need a bit of sanding.
Good stuff!
DappledLightStudio sells this complete as well of course. Which is great for people who have lives with no free time on their hands. But I find it fun to add my own personal touch (for better or worse). The coupling piece he has is cast from an original part and looks fantastic. Here is the piece I received from my original order that I did not use.
And next to one of my real parts that has been weathered to my liking. Just needs some paint.
Here is what the parts look like before modification.
Should end up looking something like this (my first one). And for some reason, I do not know how to take pictures without a yellow tinge...
I might try to find some real wipers, but I don't really need to. The parts are good as they are. We'll see.
