Re: Looking for CG to 3D print photo comparison samples

I haven't been doing much.
I played around with AI stuff instead.
I sold a Vincent Price Devil Doll yesterday though.
It is taking a trip.

Star Trek ship models used in "the Doomsday Machine" recreation video

I didn't where else to stick this. There are a number of videos like this but I was impressed how good the models looked (especially compared to the CGI version which is really dated for this particular episode and looks awful-especially the planet killer). It must have been difficult to photograph ...

Here's my christmas tree.

Re: Del Toro's Frankenstein

The book is a big favourite. I re-read a few years ago. Every movie version I can think of fails to balance the characters like the book. Victor is not the villain. The creature is not the villain. The story is about the need for compassionate relationships and the tragedy that results from the abse...

Re: Looking for CG to 3D print photo comparison samples

Thanks! I didn't feel satisfaction with some of these statues until I put them on video. The eye technique I use looks best when seen with a moving head. I have said before I think of them more as puppets or SPFX objects than as statues to display so showing them on a video is how I wanted to have t...

Re: Looking for CG to 3D print photo comparison samples

I am posting this here since seems the most appropriate place as most of them involved some digital work.
The Omega Man was the last clay heads I made (I did do a number of early Vincent Price ones but I prefer the ones I did from digital sculpting).

It would be tragedy if they were indeed blown to atoms after all that work and skill to make them!

Re: Looking for CG to 3D print photo comparison samples

lol yeah I took what I could since I didn't know when I might need it.

Hobby store store closure liquidation sales are especially nice if you can get there early enough to grab the model kits but I missed out so had to go for the crafty stuff.

Re: Looking for CG to 3D print photo comparison samples

I want to do a statue video (of my painted busts which I don't keep in the workroom). I have my Ceramcoat paints upstairs since I do most of my sculpting work in front of my computer. Clay sculpting too. My keyboard has a few paint drips. :) It is nice I don't have to navigate a floor of plaster deb...

Re: Looking for CG to 3D print photo comparison samples

I finally cleaned up my workroom. I got all my Testors and Tamiya and Humbrol paints that are still good in a single container (with a few Vallejo ones). I put most of my 3d prints in a rubbermaid container. Materials in drawers. It's all much better organized since I had things in bags and lying al...

Re: Debra Paget

Thanks. The camera worked great. For the last few years the camera phone would not transfer colours right to the PC but it did in this case (maybe due to an update). I have no plans for new sculptures at present but I want to do a long video of stuff I have done since the Omega Men ones. I also need...

Debra Paget

This is what I have been working on for a while. The eyes took a lot of redoing. This is her circa 1950s so she is not as thin in the face as she was for the Haunted Palace. The blonde hair--I don't think it flatters but since she had that colour when she had that particular hairstyle I decided to d...

Re: Brother Zachary

Thanks. These were two of the last clay-made heads I was satisfied with (I did Vincent Price after them but wasn't happy with the scale of those until I redid them in digital). Recently I got enthusiastic "like" icons for the Brother Zachary statue from a Kilpatrick on my Facebook page. Gi...

Re: Janos Skorzeny Version 2

I didn't see the original film until 1990 (unaware that I had seen clips of it in Trilogy of Terror's drive-in scene). I saw pictures from it as early as 1976 but it was a mystery to me. The Night Strangler showed on tv a lot but I don't remember the original film appearing. I had to get it on home ...

Re: Janos Skorzeny Version 2

The Night Stalker tv vampire. Rather popular based on my selling rate for the character. I was asked to do it. I wouldn't have done it except I thought it would be cool to have a Surak so I did that first and the snarling face for the Skorzeny. But it also the name of Chuck Connors character in the ...
