Well, No Humor Man said he was gonna kick my ass if I didnt post a project (wink)

So here is one......you'll never guess what the project is even if you guess where its headed.


And yes, I did lighting for dramatic effect.....what can I say??

So you want us to guess?

You're going to make a robot?

The photos you posted are generally very dark and unclear. I had to enhacne it in Photoshop to see the helmet; looks like you have a very reasonable looking helmet there.

Phew... guess my boot can take a rest!

No seriously... very cool project. Definitely looking forward to hearing more about it!

Really? It looks Ok on my screen.......How are these? I was gonna lug him outside today, but we were hit with snow.

So I'm making a special version of DV for something. I cant reveal what just yet, but it is an honor to be involved.

Yeah, NHM sent me a picture of himself, he's like 8 feet tall and real mean looking.....he was eating a bear in the picture.....so if he says post....POST!

You forgot I shoot lightning bolts outa my arse too!

that must sting somewhat

The bottom pictures look okay but look small. The top picture looks very dark still.

Are you using an LCD or a CRT?

Nah, I got it coated. F***... 'nuff with the weirdness from me.

ABSOLUTELY killer progress... looking really impressive!

Very impressive!

You're killing me....... I have an LCD screen.

Now that is an order of magnitude better. It's well-lit and doesn't require that people change their contrast settings (or, if you're me, require that I enhance it in Photoshop to see the details). His suit and codpiece look a little wrinkly but for the most part it looks very respectable.

So... I don't understand the original question. You want us to guess what you're going to do with this?

You're going to make a mannequin out of it?

You're going to cast him whole?

You're going to make a stunt dummy where his face blows up and his head comes off?

You're gonna make a robot?

You're going to teach him how to cook eggs and thinly sliced SPAM?

WOW!!!

Indeed!

Well, its obviously a try at the stunt suit. Now I took an artistic license and used the wide armor instead of the Bob Anderson shorter version. I have a really good cast of that set, but it has a huge ass crack in it that I dont feel like fixing.


CSMacLaren I have to say, those are damn entertaining guesses.......I may cast it whole eventually, but that is not what I'm doing this time around.

So do you plan to make the cheeks see-through with lexan?

Also I wonder if the "Luke, I am your father" was Bob Anderson because when you see him stretching his arms out to Luke, his cape is blown back and you not only see his shoulder armor, but the wearer's shoulders and arms look much smaller! I figure it might have been Bob under there instead of David Prowse.
