Lady Falcon: First Peek

[dr_cyclops]

The size can be handled by shrinking it a bit. Any of the regular head casters can shed light on that. It's not that big of a deal. It actually allows the original to be used on the Famous Covers sized bodies. The re-sized mold will fit the 8" scale. Heads have been brought down from the 1/6th (12") scale. I saw your post on selling the original on ebay. Just a suggestion but you may do better in the long run tying in with a single caster and selling sculpts one at a time.

Happy to hear about the head shrinking. I will need to learn more. I've been buying doll bodies as I find them. Found out that they are not 12 inch as I assumed. More likely, 9 inch, or 10 inch. Purchased 12 inch retro G.I. Joe figure as well as a Captain Action reissue. What scale were the Hasbro DC Heroes done in?

Now that I'm learning to make molds and do castings, I've begun to consider selling castings. I'm starting to let go of my fear of recasts by others. Now my concern is how to keep the big companies, (DC, Marvel and others) off my back. Advice anyone?

I don't mean to hi-jack your thread but quoting this guy, I tried shrinking at 12 inch Han Solo head down with Acetone and dunked him and everything worked but he just won't get any smaller. This head was perfect for this Han Solo custom but I think this head won't go any smaller. Damn shame, it would be perfect for 8 inch. Anyone find a successful way to get that 12 inch Han Solo head to shrink? All ideas from here did not work.

Sorry to bump this thread without some new pics. I just wanted to drop a note that much has changed while I've been away.
Currently, I'm trying to figure out what scale these first four came out in. Originally I was going for Mego 8 in. All four, came out a little bigger than I entended.
Yet to be posted, are images of the next three: Ditko versions of Prof. Squid, the Buzzard, and Dune-dude. Yeah. That's what I'm callin' them. (Pics coming soon.)
Nosfuratu and Mr. Hyde have come a long way. Lady Falcon and Capt. Eagle are much the same as last posted.
But the best part is, I'm learning to make molds and castings. It's still early, but I see a light and the end of the tunnel.

Hmmm, sounds like they may be TBolt scale.

very cool!

In inches, how big is the TBolt scale?

[dr_cyclops]

The best I can do for now. From myspacebook page:

Let's try some Image Shack. Here is Buzzard, Professor Squid, and Dune Guy.

Looking good. I like their stylized vibe.

Thanx. These photos don't do justice to the sculpts. From the blurry, to the dominate light source, I've much to learn in photography.
Although Buzzard and Dune Guy are OK enough. Professor Squid, looks awful in the choosen pic. I only posted it, because the others were blurry.
In time, the photos will get better, as well as attaching them to the 8 in. bodies, I think they look best on.
In the works, Reptile and Voltron.
Current ideas, are turning to Kirby villains. Yeah, Sixty-threedom!

In inches, how big is the TBolt scale?

9 inches.

[dr_cyclops]

9 inches.

Thanks. I don't have any 9 or 10 inch bodies at this time to compare. So I can only guess the body scale that Lady Falcon, Capt. Eagle, Nosfuratu, and Mr. Hyde best fit. I will update as soon as I find out.
Buzzard, Professor Squid, and Dune Guy are scaled to the 8 inch bodies.

^^ Yeah, keep me informed, I really like the Nosferatu sculpt.

Here is The Buzzard, (currently tooling neck plug) on a 8 inch CTVT white male body. His neck is sitting just a little high, due to the material used to hold the head in place. His neck is long to give him a hump back and accomidate the feathered collar of his costume.
