ST:TAS M'Ress & Arex

Well logistically Arex either walks like 2 people tied together in a 3 legged race, or he has a tripod arrangement like a camera tripod or a W.O.the W. martian. Either way he could still sit.

Sounds like a better idea.. I was thinking more alien in nature, but once you have the 3rd pants leg sewed on, it would hide it a bit.

Hmmmm....

If you get a resin recast of an upper arm you could chop off the shoulder, and reattach it at a 90 degree twist. I'm thinkin' you could do something similar with a hip piece and upper leg. File down and glue the leg to the torso and go from there.

Great ideas, guys. John, that Arex head is AMAZING--do you sell copies?

I agree about using a T1 torso for Arex, & I think I could rig up the central arm. But the legs are a real challenge. I see what you mean about a custom pelvis piece, but I can't picture him walking, so I don't know how to approach the articulation.

I'm thinking of modifying a Zira head for M'ress. Rooted hair would be nice, buy I actually like sculpted hair.

Here's a shirt made from 2 of Doc's shirts:

The modified tunic looks great!

M'Ress shouldn't be too hard to create. There should be plenty of cat-like faces on toys/figures out there. You just have to find one Mego scaled. Were there any in the Masters Of the Universe Classic line perhaps? It could be adapted. Cut the soft head open from behind and put it over a Bryer or Femal Mego head like a real mask.

Didn't CTC make a cat-like headsculpt some time ago, that could be used for that purpose?

I completed a Lt. Arex head but am trying to figure how to make the 3 armed/3 legged body. The eyes might be off. Here's a pic for those of you sculpting one to compare to.

That looks sweet! What did you sculpt the head out of?

Got a few, actually; but it might be possible to convert Gi to a M'Ress. The big fuzzy hair is kinda tricky though.

Do you have pics, Don?

That sculpt looks really good. And Brian's shirt looks perfect.

Hi! I'm new here, but I have to say that is a sweet sculpt of Arex! Anyone out there have a recast of "Mr.Rock" for sale or trade?

Arex's head sculpt & shirt look great! Good luck making the figures!
