THE THING 1955 James Arness head for future MEGO custom

[tylerh]

Thanks!! If all goes well Ill make a few cast available!

(Just need to figure out how to make the space jumpsuit now...)

Also - Thinking of printing this out at - (From top of head to base of neck) 1 3/8 inches... Does that sound right?

Sounds good to me. That's what most of my heads are.

Got the 3D print!!! Next step is molding and casting!

[thunderbolt]

wow, it looks great. I might want to get into custom 8 inch monsters. especially now that the EMCE Universal line is dead.

[PNGwynne]

Ooooooh, that's nice!

[dr_cyclops]

Looks great! I'm very impressed. If you need any help with the neck-plug and/or molding/casting, just PM me.

Thanks Dr Cyclops... If I get stuck Ill be sure to ask you about it! Im going to attempt it on my own first.. I really want to figure out the neck plug thing

Yes! That's what I was thinking too.

Excellent sculpt! Either you have mad skillz or have secret chameleon like powers.

This isnt the suit Im using, but I wanted to get an idea of how it would look on the body.... (The suit will be green though - Its being custom made)

I think itll work well!

[Relic]

Just an idea, but that head could be used to make a custom Silver Surfer.

[tylerh]

If you sanded off the "veins" on the head it could!

[hawkmike]

Very cool! Now I. Have to dig out my copy to watch to.

Got two great castings of this wonderful head yesterday. Going to start adding neck-plug to one today. I'll post photos once complete.

[dr_cyclops]

Here's the first one plugged.
