Is this too big?

No, helmets make a head larger. It's probably not big enough for actual human scale, but for a toy it looks about right.

I just didn't want it to look like Space Balls.

I'm also trying to see how it compares to the new one that came out, but sadly, I cant find it to compare.

Someone, might have been darthdre, sent me one cast in green.


I'd type that for a dollar!

Time to start showing my Orc project:



It's going to be a long road.



The idea is to use a bunch of MU base bodies that are painted up in whatever skin tone I want the orc to be and then apply a bunch of modular chest, arm and leg add ons cast in resins (of some sort) as well as custom head sculpts also cast for mass production.



The chest and belt areas are going to be modular so I can mix and match them for variety.



These will work with soft good furs and tabards etc.

Oh and scribbles that I did before starting.











Not like I'm setting lofty goals or anthing...

Thoughts?

There was a playset for the old MASH tv show in 1:18th, here's a few of the parts...notice the typewriter...

Well, unless Urbanrev is currently making duplicates of just those parts, you have a big group of collectors you'll have to duke it out with on eBay for the set. :(

I don't think his site is even up anymore. I can't get it to load.


He cast those things 6 years ago.

It wasn't something separate. It came in the pouch stuff I got from him. I'll have to look and see if the others were included or not. I don't think they were, but I haven't looked through that stuff in a while...it wasn't very useful actually. Lots of flash. Lots of air holes.

I noticed the air holes on the bottom.

Related, and other than excising the peg system on the bottom not a WIP, 1:18ish podium/lectern!

Yup. Too bad there aren't any good katanas for the sword stand.

I got a couple of your ninjatos, and they were great other than marring on the blade, I presume from the casting process.

Need to find a nodachi. A larger sword would probably be a better fit.

No good factory katanas? I have a few that look pretty good. And the ones that came with the new Budo seemed nice.

The kissaki (point) is too rounded. Though I suppose I could fix that.
