The paint looks great. That classic silver dirty look. The touch of gold is nice. Reminds me of some of the narin kit paintjob I've seen.

 

Where does the blade lock into?  Got a pic of it staring down the barrel?

Sorry Gene didn’t get a notification, I just finished prepping the blade to be molded. I have a couple of people wanting sets so I’ll be molding asap and I will get you a photo then.

Hands almost finished and again I amended the head sculpt. Hands will be finished and molded this week. I still have no idea what color or paint scheme I am going to go with. 
may start a contest for ideas with some sort of freebie to the winner of the  design I like and chose. 50D69A4F-57D4-4FE9-87BE-407F5D4757FF.jpeg.225af659395b03090c33ef4ac8bb5cb8.jpeg7A9741CF-BA1A-4FF4-8A21-223BB3CDE7CF.jpeg.b107e2b70644e32488169573a6a85955.jpeg18DD7766-B77D-40DA-B946-6218D8868E47.jpeg.2cb751a10fa52d5a64ed7bbeb663108e.jpeg

The amount of detail is amazing dude. The texture lines on top of the hands look natural/organic.

 You want the best color palette combinations? Nature has them 🙂 - Little suggestion, get yourself some cheap Smithsonian animal books.  

I recommend bugs, shells, fish and reptiles.

Only took me 3 weeks but I have your measurement pics of the thigh armor.

 

Good tip on the books Chris. I got some of those same tips from Winston School classes. Got myself some Audubon society animal catalogues. Works like a charm. Good inspiration.

Looking really good. They look slimy and alive.

Are the hands on the cores? 

Just curious if the silicone can hold it's owner shape vertically like that or if it needs the core?

yeah they are on the casting cores for painting, silicone is super super flexible and will not hold its shape on its on with the shore i use.  i have a bunch of different paint schemes to do so ill post them as i go in a separate thread 🙂

Welp the time is finally here, tomorrow I start molding this guy, may take me a couple of days as I’ve been sick for what feels like foreveeeeeer.

And as  usual freekote lifft is my release agent of choice  if you’re not using it on your sculpts, do so . I take thanks in the form of tequila 😎
