EXO Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 (edited) ... for people that didn't attend the Con. There was a lot more progress from what you see here. I'll take pics tomorrow. Edited June 20, 2005 by >EXO<
fulcy Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 Why is there an octopus on his head? Why are his hands black?

VF-1James Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 I was not able to attend the Con, due to the fact that I am behind schedule with my moving. Actually, I'm visiting relatives before moving to California. That said, I have been waiting to see what EXO is doing with this project. While I can't say much yet, I think it's looking pretty good so far! I like the helment, that's for sure (nice and big, plus it covers the whole head). Keep us updated on this EXO. BTW- Do you have a general idea of when your Hikaru will be all finished?
bigkid24 Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 Wow, those are really early pictures. The helmet has come a long way since these were taken. I think we need pics with the mock up shoulder pads.
EXO Posted June 20, 2005 Author Posted June 20, 2005 (edited) here's the helmet updated... seem to have lost the backpack in transport... might be in th car. Edited June 21, 2005 by >EXO<
VF-1James Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 Very, very nice Exo. I'll be buying your helment, for sure!
EXO Posted June 21, 2005 Author Posted June 21, 2005 no kidding... that's what the figure looks like and the interest on this project.
VF-1James Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 no kidding... that's what the figure looks like and the interest on this project. Yeah, I get the feeling only like 3 people here care...
bigkid24 Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 Looks good, man. I'm glad you changed the back of the head. I think it looks better. Now, stop reading my post and go work on it some more!
JSaint25 Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 Hey I'm interested in seeing how this turns out too. Good stuff so far. The helmet looks great. His hair must have been hell to model in 3-D. Keep us posted.
min Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 man, im interested. keep us updated! i want one for sure!
Golden Arms Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 Awesome Helmet!! I can't wait to see it once it is finished. More people ought do more custom figurines.
connor99 Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 (edited) Hey, >EXO< , I told you everyone's gonna love it and it's not even done yet! Excellent work though! Edited June 21, 2005 by connor99
Knight26 Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 So Exo are you going to recast this or just amke the one?
bigkid24 Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 So does that octopus fit inside the helmet? I can't remember now but I think there's a separate head....uh...or you take off the hair to fit his head in the helmet.
EXO Posted June 21, 2005 Author Posted June 21, 2005 There's a different non-octupus hair to fit in the helmet. It has his signature spiky bangs like in the anime. Same with Roy and Max. I think I'm going to recast the torso first with the helmet and the harness. Just like Yamato's 1/1 scale set. I might add the belt. I dojn't know if that would look good. That should give me enough dough to continue with the figures. So far I got like 3 people interested in the figure, but a lot more are interested in just the torso set. I guess they don't collect figures.
Fugly Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 Mwahahahaha! Eat that Dan Brown! Bow before Macross! Ahem. Great helmet man...and jesus, that hair must've been a b*tch to sculpt! Good job!
mechatek Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 Wow, Alex. Didn't know this figure was your work at the MW Con 5 customs table. Can't wait to see it finished.
mojacko Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 nice helmet...errr wonderin what material did u use for it???
EXO Posted June 22, 2005 Author Posted June 22, 2005 nice helmet...errr wonderin what material did u use for it??? Man... I really tried to do a step by step... but there were more misses than hits. So I gave up on that. Let's just say I used everything... bondo, milliput, Squadron, styrene... all kinds of different sandpaper, files, the dremel... you name it... The hair was nothing compared to the curved surface of the helmet... Next thing I build will be square! Just clean sharp , no curved shapes.... maybe the Sharon apple walking box... oh no... it has a round eye...
Skull 001 Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 (edited) I am interested in a copy of the head helmet and everything else. For Max and Roy too since you mentioned those. Edited June 22, 2005 by Skull 001
Skull 001 Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 Oh Yah will they be painted or can we pay extra for a paint job. While I can make 1/6 scale costumes painting is not my thing especially human faces
Mechamaniac Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 (edited) That thing will only look good if it's RECASTED!!! so we all can have one!! Sweet work! Edited June 23, 2005 by Mechamaniac
bigkid24 Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 That thing will only look good if it's RECASTED!!! so we all can have one!! Sweet work! 309787[/snapback] that's the plan!
Bub Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 Ang ganda ng trabaho! Very nice, I wish I have that skills so I can sculpt my own belldany and mutsumi otohime.
