Lady Falcon: First Peek

[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.

Your work is sick! Love every piece!

I know! But I've been feeling better lately. No...really, the 'horrible wrist blow out' I encountered a couple of years ago, has healed considerably. The bone that appeared on top of my wrist, only make a only a 1/4 inch rise past the skin. This is a very good thing. It appeared as a 3/4 bump, on my wrist and felt like 'Hell on Wheels'! As I reach my 50s, the old body starts to give up the ghost. We barbers use our wrists, hands, neck and shoulders all day long. Oh..I forgot feet, legs and back. Still, it's nice when the pain goes away.
No pics update: Dune Guy is currently having his neck tooled. He now sports a more detail flat-top and has eyebrows. Next three: Reptile, Voltron, and Game-Hunter.

ooh....really looking forward to seeing "Reptile".

Reptile is giving me fits. He's becoming my slowest sculpt so far. Reviewing Ditko's designs, I found it hard to understand how the drawings formed a 3-D design. Solution: Put a little 'Dr. Cyclops' in it.
While Game-Hunter is just forming, I don't expect difficulties with him. He's going the way of Buzzard, Squid, and Dune Guy.
Voltron, was almost 'not 2 be'. Early expectations to details, made me determine he was not possible. While explaining this to my friend 'Steve', (who knows me like a brother) he cut right to the chase and said; "Stop crying, and do it the way Mego would have done it."
It's so nice to know "somewhere, somebody cares." So much like the helpful replies to so many of my posts here. Nobody told me there were nice people on the web.

Here's Dune Guy on a DrMego "large white muscle body". His neck plug and flat-top still needs work.

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.

I'm considering either casting a head in a material that will shrink and from there casting a new mold, or finding a way to shrink the rubber mold to a desired size.
