Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Do you think allready prints are squished, Raymond?Rocco thinks it was bad molds.Prints looks like renders almost.

Very upsetting about the sculpts getting squished and looking off. Hopefully all gets fixed because I would like to get the Craig sculpt.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Cool pics Gido, they look great on the bodies and painted, Im still bothered by the narrowness of Craig and Dalton. Here is a pic of the print next to Craig face, his right cheek bone is smaller then the left in real life too, nobody has symmetrical head, but the mold maker definitely distorted the castings, since the print is fine: Im using 2 different mold makers now to avoid this issue for any future heads I make.

Yes I've noticed that my Craig sculpt is narrow.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

I received my prints back from the mold maker and sent them to a veteran toy mold maker, so no more narrow castings I promise!

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

I really appreciate you taking the time to fix this going forward, Rocco! Question is, what about the older heads? I would gladly pay again for a fixed Dalton and Moore (the two squished heads I personally bought).

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Thanks Cap'n I could give discounts on replacement heads, and you guys can keep or resell the older heads. Half price on the replacements plus shipping. Just make a note in the subject of who you are replacing. Thanks!

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Oh, by the way, it's just Craig and Dalton that are being remolded.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

If anyone wants my Craig sculpt and isn't bothered by the extra thinness (check my photos they're 100% accurate to what's in-hand), you can have it for $40 shipped (US) or $45 shipped elsewhere.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Oh ok, well it's still something. Dalton's my favorite

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Rocco - when should we be sending in the $ for the replacement heads?

I might be down for that. Can't wait to see the first casting to decide

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

I'll collect after you see the new castings, next to the old one, next to the print.

Looking forward to seeing them side by side, especially Dalton.

Sounds good!

Make sure to put some primer on the print in the comparison! Just sayin' . . .

Why? IMO, don't put anything onto anything. If you want to change colors, desaturate the photo.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Whatever . . .

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

The last thing we need is complaints about a difference in texture because pre-priming something has changed the way it looks.

 

[monomaster2]

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Uh, they all should be primed to look the same.

Uh, they all should be primed to look the same.

Priming is for concealment and surface prep. It doesn't belong on something you want to judge the quality of WRT substrate and fine texture.

#1 I want to see the quality of the 3D print. #2 I want to see the quality of the cast of that print. #3 I want to see the exact color of the resin used for the cast - I want to see what I'll be getting.

Lastly, I don't think Rocco needs to waste his time farting around with painting.
