Contraband. If I get you a couple Penny Dreadful heads, do you think you could do some shrink work for me?

I have a box of those bricks...been trying to figure out what to do with them.

Tell me about it. I've got a case

I got a single box on clearance at Wal-Mart for $3.00 years ago... I made a different building back then....it needs some more work, details and weathering and such...I like where the recent one is heading...still needs more work and windows are too low. :( Oh well only so much I can do right now...big foam bricks and wood glue and washes I can handle...detailed painting...not yet.

Fuckin A those are bad ass!!!! WOW man! You need this for Glenn!!







Finally have spare copies!! I'm making a gang mold this weekend too:D

It's the vest that was packed in with Glenn..I have his rifle with sling too. I'm finishing up Rick's AK,then I'll make a mold of just guns,and one of slings. The little buckles&loops all transferred over nicely to 1:18 on them. very pleased to finally have an assortment of slung weapons. I can't tell ya how long I wanted them.

Here's the helmet. It didn't fit the original Glenn head. Glenn's head is shrunk 5% more then that helmet was..plus it's thick,so there's tons of meterial to dremmel away to make it fit even better.



I'm working on the crotch&leg armor from the riot gear walkers for the cobra trooper buck. I can shrink the lower arm off of Merle. The hand part could be cut off,and glued onto a Joe arm. I honestly didn't think to do it.

Right now I've got 4 people to get everything back to. Once that happens I'll take on more stuff. My turn over has turned to shit since my work schedule has changed...that'll be fixed at the end of the month.

Going in the next batch:trollface:



What do I size these to? I know nothing about this show other then it's boring as hell! I'm assuming the big Guy's hat should be shrank as well?



The rest of the figure's accessories are kinda lame. One guy has mini dinosaurs. lol.

That figure looks nothing like Jewel Staite, and that saddens me deeply.

I've yet to see a line Funko hasn't short-changed in some fashion. I wonder if they look better stripped of paint?

Good question. Wash seems to be the worst of the bunch but would make an excellent contender for a realistic Beavis custom.

The sculpts are solid. The paint apps are what's killing them IMO. The eyes aren't correct,..the skin tones are kinda funky,stuff like that. I'll post them up when I'm done. The scales seem to be all over the place tho. The black chick is twice the size of the other chick,so they'll take a little more work to get them all within the same scale.

A close up to see the details on Rick and Daryl heads:

I hope I'll do justice to these casts !

Nice work, man.

Indeed, these are looking great!

thanks guys! (big thx to contraband again)

wow..looks great! bad ass looking michonne. Muskrat body (i think) works for Darryl. I have him using Storm Shadow, which i think Contraband shrunk the head to fit that body. but I like the slimmer arms for Darryl which will help him hold his crossbow better.

Abraham, Maggie - good ideas. I'm gonna use Heavy Duty for Abraham.

Mal and Jayne look decent enough.

You need to cast Vera (Jayne's gun).

I'll take one of each.

Thanks buddy

It is not Muskrat however but something close maybe?

I used
Renegades Ripcord torso
Dreadnoks Gnawhide arms
Retaliation Colson legs
Indiana Jones Vest
ROC Zandar belt moded
He can lift his crossbow perfectly

I still don't have Michonne's head but the body is ready ^^

I would use HD body for Tyreese too

I'm pretty much done with making those. I just don't have the time I once had...I'm going to do a few more runs when I get a chance of the older ones,and some new ones,and call it a wrap on casting till I get situated moving wise.

The wave with Beth is just around the corner. :trollface:

Funko Rocketeer is awesome. I also just picked up this awesome ReAction Tomorrowland fig at the Disney store for like $5 the other day on sale. She's got so much potential for cool pics! (see below Tiger quote)




I want to grab that Athena as a '50s civie, but I don't think it's in the cards. She'd be a nice background figure with a repaint.
