Re: Batman Affleck? in Batman vs Superman
Sandra, Christian Bale has gone on record saying he will never be in another comic based movie again. In the Dark Knight Rises Batman is on his last legs, and can not fight crime anymore. On top of that he faked his death. So there is no way for him to come back. Bale's Batman was part of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight… -

Re: Jason Goes to Hell sculpting/molding
Working with real leather is fun, and it's a nice way to add some detail to a piece. Not to mention working with new materials is a good way to develop or refine skills. Why would you be molding the straps if you made them in leather? I'm guessing you still want to cast latex versions that include the straps, rather than… -
Re: Monster Clay in the Movies
Thank you both very much! Arnold, that should give me a good starting point to hunt down more information. Greatly appreciated! And Chris, yes, I know different wax based clays get used for different projects. I clearly worded my question poorly, as it was my intent to include all brands of wax based clay. Much of the… -

Re: Creature Head Bust. (Imaginatio humana)
Tim's paints are not technically inks, but acrylic airbrush paints. I have the master set, which includes the entire color line. But you can easily buy the smaller kits or (I believe) individual colors to match the needs of a project. They do go a long ways (great pigment density), but I would suggest basing your entire… -

Sources for Tools & other Products
I wanted to write this discussion as a User of Stan Winston who's had multiple accounts but created nothing. I usually find my roadblocks at finding the tooling needed for the job. With Jeff Bezos' Amazon erasing the small gadget websites from ranking, I think it would be helpful to work with small companies to offer… -
Re: Bard the Bowman impersonation cosplay costume, Luke Evans impersonation cosplay costume
This first one has just had my backdrop clipped out. This was a match pose to one of the posters before the film was released. I am most happy with how well the hand made arrows and sculpted dwarven arrowhead turned out. The following two are scene overlays. I posed purposely with the intent of cutting out my photo to… -

I also used an airbrush with silicone based pigments to colour the application, including using pulsing techniques to create the thin lines. I chose to work… -
Re: Star Wars Droid - Chopper - Aluminium & 3D Printed WIP
January 22, 2020 After completing some other projects I was able to circle back around to working on Chopper and I’m now in the process of designing an aluminium frame for him. The idea then is the skins will be 3D printed to sleeve around the frame and have the ability to be removed. The frame design is still very much a… -
