Welcome, I love your Rancor! It's really superb, haven't tried green stuff yet. But from what I'm seeing it looks like it works good!
that is an awesome rancor,looking more like it should in RoTJ,I have TFU too,and have been thinking of making a custom from it,but since i have that huge jabba rancor already,i may go with a different color scheme,but taking on a project that size takes time and commitment,and i have niether lol,but yours is awesome,and good job on the paint work,also your heading in the right direction with the arm cuff.
I have been wanting to do a custom rancor for a LONG LONG time but can't ever find one cheap enough that I'd feel comfortable chopping up!
I'd love to see a big "bull rancor" custom done with giant tusks and horns growing all over it... it's something I saw in the concept art from TFU and fell in love with.
no kidding,you take it to work,that's awesome,my co-workers would look at me and be like"dude,WTH are you doing?"lol.I would definitly need someones help with it,It is a huge project,and I get easily distracted,and want to move on to something else in the middle of doing something like that,but with your pics as insperation it may push me to get started since I am running low on figure fodder,it may be time to do just that.I have seen RoTJ like 800 times just cause I love it(no lie ;) ).that is an awesome rancor,looking more like it should in RoTJ,I have TFU too,and have been thinking of making a custom from it,but since i have that huge jabba rancor already,i may go with a different color scheme,but taking on a project that size takes time and commitment,and i have niether lol,but yours is awesome,and good job on the paint work,also your heading in the right direction with the arm cuff.
Yeah this project has taken me alot of time to get right, there was all kinds of research through books and watching the Rancor battle about 800 times and that was just the start. I think that I have poured about 40 hours of sculpting time and 20 hours of painting so far into this guy. The end result should be awesome but I totally get your point of not having time for this size custom. I really have to "make" time for it and try to squeeze it in when ever I can, I take it to work and use my lunch break to paint/sculpt LOL.
oh,posted to early,sorry Yak,nice Sal B crumb too.looks 10x better then any I own.which I like to do as well,updating figures Hasbro made,but just needs a bit of the customizers magic touch.
Yes it was!freeze frame :o LOL.
is it just me or does she need pupils? Fantastic work none the less
Looking good!!! GHan Completely blown away man!
Man she looks great! What color green did you use?
That is AWESOME!The Monk ROCKS nice!
I really love this team. Vote changiing experience!
@ghostskull18: Ahh yes that is the tricky part. I actually wrap the figure in plastic wrap and get it nice and tight over the figures form and simply sculpt over it. After that just let the green stuff set up over night and carefully remove it from the plastic wrap. And bingo you have a perfectly molded piece that fits the figure.
That's two tips in just a short run of posts - the wrap-her-in-plastic method for sculpting onto a fig and now the making-scale-cloth-fit-right! Now... you say it gives a gloss finish to synthetics? I'm wondering...I have this ribbon I just bought today to try it as a belt-making material. It is 100% polyester. I'm wondering if your stuff might not give the look of glossy leather that would be desirable on a belt. Where do you find this GAC 400?
Now I'm tempted to get some tight-weave cotton and try making a few cloaks...

Oh yea! I love your Kithaba improvements! Spot on work, his head looks perfect! Great painting as usual. What crotch piece did you use to widen the legs?
This Wampa will be monstrous, please keep documenting the process.
