Dr. Horrible 1/6th

[cadaver202]

I am attempting a 1/6th dr. Horrible and Captain Hammer with my girlfriend. So far we have gotten the fabric to make the labcoat and the mini buttons for the shoulder.

The problem I am having is getting a head with a likeness to NPH and finding rain boots for him.

My girlfriend is attempting to sculpt NPH but we are not sure how it will turn our as we have never sculpted a head before.

Any advice would be wonderful!

The vote of confidence in me is astounding.

Yes, advice would be handy. I can sew like a mo fo, and I'm a fairly decent painter, but sculpting is new for me.

I have faith! I'm just not sure it's gonna be up to the standerds we want.

Good luck with that but if it dosen't come out right just try again...all the greats sculpter on here started the same way...just don't rush it take your time. As for the rain boots you can always try looking on ebay or one of the great 1/6 dealers on here they have great stuff or even try makeing your own out of reg. boots. Ether way have fun
PS don't forget to put up pixs of them when your done make them

I have been hunting all over eBay and the internet for 2 weeks now with no luck with any rubber boots. I even looked for Ken ones with no luck. I'm sure we will find something.

yeah it's kind of hard to find everthing you want at once but hopefully the show up...I know I been looking for some part for customs and it seems like it take for ever to find them but in time the do show up you just got to keep a eye out for them.
you are talk about boots like these right??

Store-rooms has boots similar to those, only they are yellow. I don't know how easy they would be to repaint (maybe one of the flexible car paints?), but the basic shape is there.

Those certainly look good! I bet there is something out there that can be used to recolour them. Thanks for the link!

The sculpt is going alright. I'm getting closer to getting the basic face shape right. It's going to take time, but hopefully I can come up with something I am happy with.

It's looking like I'll be sculpting the goggles, too.

Ertl made a line a few years ago that had Babe Winkelman were a pair of green boots. Here's a link to the site. I didnt see one on the bay.

Good luck annd remember we want pics.

You can paint them use an adhesion promoter for bumpers found at any autopart store then paint them with acrylic paint.

Thanks for the advise on painting the boots. I think we are going to get the yellow ones and paint them. We will get pics up ASAP. Might not be this weekend as there is a comic expo in our city.

No problem on the tip. Just thought of another one make sure to wash the boots with dawn dish shop or some form of grease remover soap before you paint, let them fully dry them paint.

I have a feeling they may well be painted anyway, check when you get them as you may be able to strip the paint and or repaint them.

I mocked up the coat tonight and i am going to try to get something made tomorrow.

Good luck with the NPH sculpt. I'd love to see a good sculpt of him.

 

[cadaver202]

so I spent the night making a coat. I got the boats in the mail today so I got some motivation. the pants on him are not the ones I'm gonna use but I didn't want him pants-less.

All I need is some gloves and his goggles, well and a head. the pants are in the mail.

Great work on the coat!

 

[Reinhardt]

[the vampire with soul]
