Tofujesse Castings: Announcements & Discussion

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Just watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes...love that movie!

 

[Tofujesse]

Some commission work I did for Alvis Underground. Final paint apps by them. I also did the figure in glow in the dark resin for them. Figure is a 100% percent sculpt based off Mattel's concept art of The Horde Mummy

 

[Tofujesse]

Here are some NVG18's I am shrinking down to 1:18 scale. Also a MOTUC Scare Glow head shrunk down to 1:18 scale and some cold casting I did on Dr Doom mask, no painting required.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

That mummy is cool!...not much articulation though...

Digging that shrunken NVG stuff...

That mummy is really nice! At first I wasn't sure about it but the sculpt and paint app make me love that damn thing. Those bandages are sculpted on that piece.

 

[Tapper]

The mummy and Doom mask are really cool. Your skills are amazing.

 

[K-Tiger]

Seriously. I want that head shrunken to 1:18. It would look in a specimen display with the Scareglow one...

Thanks man.

It's already being shrunk down. Should be done in a week or so.

That would look great in your display dio...

So wait, how's the "cold casting" differ?

 

[Tofujesse]

So wait, how's the "cold casting" differ?

It's just a process of adding metal powders to the resin to get a metal look and feel.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Could that be done to weaponry and armor to make it look metallic? Or would the scale not look right? GUNMETAL!

Might be a little to small but I can try one. I only have bronze and gold but I'm working on some cold casting now so I sure I can try it.

 

[Tofujesse]

Here it is MR. Its kinda cool, not sure if it's practical but it does have the metal feel to it.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

So is that just the way light hits it, or do the lighter areas sort of gather in the corners? Because it looks weathered in the pics. It's a cool effect!

That's the way it looks. I add a little black to give it the affect. It actually looks like a piece of metal.

 

[Meddatron]

That metal is sweet. The way it looks is amazing. I would love Thor's hammer done that way. The 5 point articulation build a droid Threepio would look amazing in gold that way.

 

[Tofujesse]

Another commission I did for Alvis. Has that Stargate look to it.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Is that helmet gold chromed? Or just reeeaaallly shiny?

 

[K-Tiger]

That kopesh is awesome.

 

[Tofujesse]

It's chromed but its looks goldish.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Chromed you say?...how so?

 

[Tofujesse]

Chromed you say?...how so?

Yes. Its chromed with some paint that is on the market. A few more parts done in chrome.

 

[Tofujesse]

Some more heads I am shrinking down. There are the master casts but the shrunk versions should be ready soon.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Those Jackman Logans look great! And is that Coulson?

 

[Tofujesse]

Those Jackman Logans look great! And is that Coulson?

Yes that is Coulson. Soon we will have 1:12 and 1:18 scale versions.

 

[Monkeywrench]

Whoa! That Coulson is gonna sell good!

 

[Mandingo Rex]

BTW, not sure if anyone's given you any feedback on it or not, but the gray resin mix you use for head casts is a fantastic base that seems to take various paints really well. I don't know if it's just the color, or what, but I seem to have less issue getting paint to stick to it and dry evenly, especially flesh colors, than the flesh mix that comes from some of the other casters.

I generally prefer to not primer head sculpts (I know, I'm stubborn, but the more layers there are the more detail gets lost) but that gray base doesn't need it. Not sure if that was intentional on your part or just a happy accident, but I hope you don't change formula anytime soon.

I noticed this too. Paint holds very well to the resin he uses.

Fuckin'-A.

I love the expressioned ones...the teeth gritting one will look good great with homo Herc...either in front or back

Thanks man, its by design.....

Jesus, and I thought my cowboy custom was gay. Must be a lot of closet leatherfags in the customizing community.
