Want to know a really nerdy thing I do sometimes? I turn the color all the way down, and watch RAIDERS in black & white while I'm working. I'll mess with contrast and brightness to try to equate the picture quality of an older film. It's stupid, I know, but it's fun. Someday I'll get some...

Tell you what, I'll design every single statue from now on so that the babe is winking. Problem: solved. -AH!

It ain't me; Tim Miller is the golden Buddha of a man who made this lump of clay sexy.

Thank you so much for saying that. I have a friend who has every Rogue statue & bust ever made; if Marvel shot down this design, I was going to photograph his collection of 97 Jim Lee-era Rogues and 0 Michael Golden/Paul Smith Rogues to help argue our point. :lol When Sideshow gets closer to...

HI, Adam Hughes here, fresh my my 3-day trip to Sideshow Collectibles in not-so-sunny California. There's some confusion as to exactly WHAT the color image of Rogue is, that was used for the Production Blog teaser. I took a JPEG of the wax casting of sculptor Tim Miller's beautiful Rogue...

I apologize for whatever makes you mad, but those the answers to everyone's questions. -AH!

Adam Hughes here. OK, I guess I have to come out of the cave and answer a question or two. Allison is correct with all her answers. Deadlines and the addition of two puppies who are putting on about 5 lbs of growth a week are really taking up time. I stopped posting on the board because I...

Just a historical clarification note.... Hamill got into his infamous car accident in January of 1977, 4 months before STAR WARS was even released. Apparently, Hamill was driving out into the California desert locations for pick-ups and additional photography on STAR WARS, all the Tatooine...

Dark Rendezvous by Sean Stewart is, hand's down, my favorite SW novel. I read all the Clone Wars era novels, and while all were good and some were excellent, DR is the best, in my opinion. The author really seems to KNOW the STAR WARS universe, and that makes a difference. This is a Yoda...

Again, for the fifteenth time, the Leia is a WORK IN PROGRESS. I only posted pics because someone asked to see what my Leia was looking like. It'd be really nice if the people who do nothing but criticize would take a 5 minute break from their nagging to read back a few pages and see if...

Save me one. I look at her at 19 and think "I'm old enough to be her dad." It's rough when I think "I'm 9 years older than Sean Connery was when he played Bond in DR. NO." Now, I realize I'm the same age as Harrison Ford when he played Indy the first time. Age hurts. Booze heals.

It's the GG minibust head; that's why I was reticent about posting it. I didn't want to bother anyone at Sideshow (or Gentle Giant, for that matter). [URL=https://imageshack.us][/ The inset is my tweak; the main pic is the factory paint.

I've seen a lot of these oldies in places like Atlanta, San Diego, Portland, Chicago... I bet an east coast Hollywood like Orlando must do it SOMEWHERE...

You're right; it's the lighting. These were just quick pics, not meant for sharing, quality-wise. I promised someone I'd get some different angles today, with better lighting. Adam

Actually, that DOES happen. I think it depends on where you live (city vs rural). I live in Atlanta, and I've seen Casablanca on the big screen 6 times. I've seen The Wizard of Oz, Adventures of Robin Hood, Lawrence of Arabia (in glorious 70mm), Raiders of the Lost Ark all on the big screen...

Thanks for the constructive words; I truly do appreciate the help. However, I wonder if you might be mentally cross-wiring the unique look of Carrie Fisher, the actress, and the way that Princess Leia actually looked in ANH. Check out these images I used for reference when tweaking the head...

I really appreciate the critique, but I have to admit, I'm not sure what you're getting at. How was the Premium Format 'glam', and how is my custom 'glam'? I'm not trying to be a smart@$$; I don't know exactly what you mean, and can't make use of constructive criticism if I can't dope it out...

Wow. That is actually BRILLIANT. Well done, sir!

Here's where we get into the aspect of discussing STAR WARS on an 'interior level' or an 'exterior level'. Interior level = "When Ben said this, he actually meant..." Exterior level = "When George Lucas wrote Ben saying this, he actually meant.." The two discussions are mutually exclusive...
