It's actually already Joe sized,and easily bashed with Joe lower torsos..seeing it cast,it looks crappy compared to Joe torsos,and looking back isn't worth casting at all
Have you actually kit bashed something together with that torso yet? Do you have any pictures if you did?
I cast it,and have tried it in various combinations with multiple lower torsos,heads,and what not.
It's compatible with Joe parts. when I get more time I'll do something in sure. I cast the duel knives as well..

Damn, I know you do this out of pleasure & pure passion; but I wish that you had a store where some of us could purchase some of your custom castings!
For me it'd be a recipe for disaster,and people mad they don't have their stuff! lol. I'm working with very limited time,and motivation during my time off ismt there either. I'm sending Vortious a few things tomorrow to add to his store.
I've sold&traded a several heads,but only what was premade.
BW is almost done,and I'll be offering kits of the shrunken ML torso&heads ready to accept the the 4" figure's limbs,as well as both heads loose. I only do stuff in limited numbers tho. I don't want to spend a bunch of time pumping out the same shit over&over. pretty much run 10 of everything,then it's a wrap. I'm almost sold out of Daryl! He sold really well on FB!
You sure have a way with parts! Id never have come up with those combinations!! Very nice! Can't wait to see them done!
Wow,slow week? usually there's more activity here!!
Anyways,I shrank about a dozen of so heads,only a couple need more shrink,mainly the marvel legends stuff,which is how it always is,but I knocked out a shit ton of TWD
gotta rerun the molds since most had bubbles,but here's a few samples to get the ball rolling,I'll add more tonight. All&all very happy with them.

This thing? I ain't got a clue.
I'll be back,....

These are all KT's,pretty sure he's got some brush skill..
Funny thing is I have sold/traded over a half dozen Daryl heads,and am yet to see one custom using it
I plan to take some with me to paint,but the weathered dirty look these call for really aren't my style,so we'll see how they turn out,because I would like to see them painted up on Joe customs as well. Like Falcone enjoys the build more then finalizing,I enjoy the casting more then customizing. Just making them is rewarding to be honest.

Painting that one exposed eye is the make or break of a custom using that head. I've already thought of cutting a Joe gask mask,and hanging off its face..
Another F118'er is sending me a zombie viper to cast. I'll have the lower arms,hands,legs,knees,and feet to add to this mold I plan to gang mold the ZB,so I'll more then likely add the other riot gear Walker head to those molds..I just need to get my hands on one now!

Michonne's gonna be popular, I bet. There's nowhere near enough ladies-of-color representation in 18th, or boys toys in general.
I started tearing up ye olde McF Alien Spawn and ML Beta Ray Bill to bash together to make a techmonster for my guys to fight.

Nice work on those! This one looks like a Jin Roh trooper head.
I can totally see that. It's got that distinctive Red Shadow head/helmet shape. I wonder what tube and canister would fit. It would work really well if you cast it in Task 14 so there's some flexibility.
Another oddball KT sends that is a fan favorite? damn! I had to google all that stuff..red shadows was after my time it seems,and the other thing too.
Here's the one you where most interested in seeing KT?
Carol
Patch eye Governor
Group photo.
And,...that's a wrap KT. Comic Glenn is one of those out of scale heads with in the line,and is smaller then other heads. I over shot him,although I did get a perfect shrink its too small imo,so I'll save that one for next round...did get a perfect ML Wasp from this tho I'll save her for next week,..make it look like I'm doing stuff&things:trollface:

Damn, that Daryl really looks like Norman Reedus. Same with Carol looking like the actress. The others are hit or miss. Michonne's sculpt looks puffy as shit.
It's a shame they rarely paint the sculpts to do them justice.

The Carol one looked awful!
Here's something else I made a month or so ago as a curiousity...ever wonder what MI oversized Valkyrie head would look like if it was shrunk just a tad,so you could swap that crazy yellow double braided hair? it looks like this
I shrunk it right at 10%ish? Not too shabby IMO

Yeah, those WD likenesses are pretty impressive. And I've always thought the Michonne actress looked puffy.
Is that last one you posted Angelina Jolee?

Nope,it's Marvel Infinate Valkyrie shrunk 10%. Speaking of Angilina Jolie,I do have her actor likeness head as Lara Croft to shrink as well as Mulder&Scully,Clint Eastwood,and a few others im working on for Vortious.

Carol looks better, though I'm not getting a whole lot of Melissa McBride in it. As to using the Protect Gear helmet as a Red Shadows trooper, yeah, it could work, but so would any masked head equipped with a German-styled stahlhelm. If you can't replicate a good Red Shadows trooper with the available parts you should probably stick to Tiger Force customs :trollface:
Didn't know you were looking into Mulder. I have the old McFarlane figure I could have sent.

I wasn't out to do X-files,lol. Vortious sent me them.
Unless you have better versions? I really don't care for them that much...
There's a lot of heads that are OK,but I'm getting spoiled with the modern ML&TWD heads level of detail,and feel the old stuff is just meh. He sent me some older movie ML heads as well,and they're a little meh too... I really wanna get my hands on some hot toys 1:6 sculpts!! I have both Clint Eastwoods to start on,but like I told you a little while back if I could get terminator salvation John Connor and Baroness id be all over them!

Some of your TWD stuff is really amazing
I believe the Neca X Files stuff is a bit better than those you have here non ?
And I agree, some 1:6 should be awesome

:lmao:
I'd love to send ya my Marty head if there's no worry that the sculpt will get damaged during the process. If that can't be guaranteed, people are parting him out on eBay and you can get just the head.
If there's no paint concerns, I'm not concerned. I'd love to have a GOOD 1:18th Marty sculpt.
Lol,y'all need to pay for that shit!:trollface:
Shrinking a hot toys head is a big deal,that's one big effing head,and the only way to get perfect shrinks from that is in steps...each time recasting,then remolding what comes out till you get to 1:18. That shit's expensive! I know others have done 1 step,but that's why they end up distorted at times...funny nose,shortened face,stuff like that...BUT if someone has both major bludd's head and the baroness's I would do it for the baroness.lol. That's the only convincing Id need
No Eddie,it wouldn't damage or mark your figure's head. But mcfly? why? lol.
