SilentSurfer's Laboratory: Come up to the Lab & See What's on the Slab.

I was just marvelling at pics of your SSC Boba prototype. Did you use the same green for all the armor bits? The gauntlets seem like they are paler, but maybe not. It's like an optical illusion! Just like "real" Boba, it's hard to say if even the helmet and chest armor are the same green.

 

[SilentSurfer]

Not an illusion. Boba's armor is actually varying shades of green. It's a very gray green, the gauntlets being the grayest, as you noticed.

You got a diverse portfolio ... ranging from this:

To this (I'm assuming you painted these) ...

It's not diverse the above pic is also from the same series of Disney Christmas ornaments... Right Nathan?

 

[KingGrayskull]

Even Marvel is Disney. I wouldnt be surprised to see them expand into other directions too. Anybody remember that Jessica Rabbit incident? If I remember correct, she was doing the Basic Instinct in one of the Disney movies.

"Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" was not a Disney pic. Although many Disney characters had cameos in it. So they're not above being involved in such things. I also recall a pretty controversial version of "The Little Mermaid" cover.

 

[SilentSurfer]

Perhaps not at the time, but I believe Disney was/is a parent company of the studio that produced "Roger Rabbit". It is most definitely considered a Disney property now, even having its own ride at Disneyland in Toon Town. In fact, I just rode it again on Saturday.

 

[Fluid]

True enough. I can't argue with that.

Hey Surfer, I have a small stock pile of "Bad Science Teacher" stuff I need to send off to you for when you get the time. No rush. Please let me know when is good for you.

 

[SilentSurfer]

Email me if you like.

I've been so busy I keep forgetting to post pics in here. Here's a Cobb from Inception I did a couple weeks ago.

Great Work on Cobb,s Nathan with paint app,s like this ~ it Makes me Cringe with Excitment to see how my Freddy/Myers Heads Turn Out

 

[Peteskywalker]

Wow that's awesome, What sculpt is that and did you sculpt the eyes closed?

Those nails look real

 

[pinder91]

Holy ****!! That's awesome. This thread never ceases to amaze.

 

[MarfMaster]

Creepy good.

I'd love to see that figure all put together, Bros. Production really killed with that release.

Also, it seems like you've found a way to kill most if not all of the "sheen" from the underlying PVC! That makes me really happy considering the stuff I have on your table at the moment.

 

[SilentSurfer]

Thanks. I don't think it's a PVC issue with the sheen, as much as it is a chemical reaction to whatever paint/sealer China is using on them. I may be wrong though. This head certainly didn't seem to have issues.

They are up next!

Thanks. Eyes were sculpted closed already, and according to Marf, this is a Bros. sculpt. Haven't actually heard of them until now.

Thank you very much. More to come.

Official Koto pics just went up of my paint job on the Danger Room Cyclops piece that was at SDCC this year.

Ah I see, hopefully mine have a similar lack of issues.

Here's a link to the thread for the figure featuring that Cobb sculpt you painted:

EDIT: And Cyclops looks...damn.

 

[annihilate22]

Damn neat Surfer. Btw is that a dual colourtone on the visor or is it just the lighting?

Really waiting for the day he receives 1/6 justice.

 

[SilentSurfer]

It's just the lighting, but it may be that the light is bouncing off the yellow beneath red.

Here's another piece I painted a week or so ago.

Erick Sosa's Aragorn.

Sorry for the delay in replying to Bruce Wayne and WGP Indy people. I'll be hitting you all up tomorrow (Wednesday).
