Mick Thomson - Sculpture Work in Progress thread

[Sebastian]

Hey there
I'm working on a Mick Thomson (Slipknot) figure, and thought it'll be cool to make a work in progress thread.
Let's start with the head/mask. It is finished - just needs a couple touches here and there...

Thanks for checking it out

 

[Sebastian]

Today I've worked on:
- The ears/earrings (pretty basic - they'll be covered with hair after all)
- made the neck a bit biger
- Started the upper body

This is already promising. In following updates i would love to see how you use the resin and possibly how you coat and paint these figures. Maybe a sped up video?

Cool regardless.

Thank You
It'll be a while until I'll get to the resin and painting part

For now, the base for the boots - Mick will have Army boots

 

[neurosis]

Alright! I´ll wait for the resin then Just wanted to remind you to show that this time. If possible. Thanks!

When is the update coming

I'm currently working on a different figure for a person from Ireland, so Mick isn't my priority right now... but I'll try to work a bit and post an update after the weekend

Phil Lynott?

Phil Lynott?

No, actually it'll be a character from the Game of Thrones naturally I'll post photos when it'll be finished

 

[Sebastian]

Took a while, but here's the update! I'm really happy how it goes so far

The guitar

 

[Manurack]

Sick dude! Will you have the guitar finished as his signature red MTM2? That would be sweet!

Thanks man!
Mick will have a red jumpsuit (like some of my other Slipknot figures - he'll be from the "Sonisphere 2011" shows )
And the guitar will be a white MTM

Looks awesome!! there are some super talented people on this board!! (lots of super talented guitar players, but that's to be expected )

Can't wait to see it finished!

Its a shame these cant be made on mass, would love a full set of the band, awesome work mate!

 

[Dcm81]

Cool beans man. The details on those boots like the laces is insane. Ever visit the SSF forum perhaps?

 

[ThePhilosopher]

This is progressing nicely and I'm intrigued by the GoT character. Do you do commissioned work States-side?

 

[ghostred7]

What are you using for your master mold materials? Which kind of resin?

I love sculpt projects. We just life-cast my wife's head so we can start sculpting up prosthetics for costumes

 

[neurosis]

Sebastian Whoop Whoop!

Nice progress. This figure will look mean like it´s supposed to. Good work

Yeah, maybe not mass, but I can definitely make one more set

Thank You No, don't know that forum, but I'll google it for sure.

Thanks the GoT character will be littlefinger! I do commissioned work, all over the world, made a few figures to the USA, Canada, Australia, Europe

I use silicone rubber for the mold, IIRC the company is Bluestar from france, 28 ShoreA, and the resin is also a french company - Axson - their "F32" resin.

Sebastian Whoop Whoop!

Nice progress. This figure will look mean like it´s supposed to. Good work

Thanks man!
