I have the first four Torsos, Spudafett: the hunter of Bounty, Daremo's Ultimate Ninja, Viper's Adventurer, and NFC's Undercover Agent, gang molded and ready to send out to their creators. As promised each submitter will receive three Torsos for your work. If you have a preference please PM me with it. If you do not send me a message by Sunday you will receive a copy of your own and two other picked at random. So get back to me and make sure I have your correct address. They should go out on Monday, and then will show up in the store a couple days after.

don't put mine up for the store yet. please.
Seriously, let me get the castings myself see if I can further refine it before you put it up for the public to buy. I'm still extremely unhappy with how the final piece looks in the pictures... To be completely honest, I'm miffed at my screw up to the point I haven't done any sculpting at all since then.

I will hold off from upping it until you see how good it looks in person. I will give you that the face is a little rough, Call it Battle scarred Veteran, but the body is good. I think I may even have a set of pants wearing legs that will go great with it if I can get them modded and molded correctly.

I know he isnt, but that is one minor flaw. And one that will be completely covered when painted.

Got my cast torsos today, they look great! There's something just so fucking awesome about seeing my work as something everyone has the chance to buy. Time to get to work on a custom!

Spude, D, and Suitcase, your torsos are in the mail. GOT THEM, and MAN they are awesome. I got to say that the results on the kit-bashed mando that you tweaked are great, but the parts just don't match up as well as the modified blank torso you sent me. Although the wookie scalps casted ok, as soon as I put them together the pockets on the bottom half of the torso knocked them off during movement. I'll probably wind up just cutting them off the figure, no big loss there. The modified "tabula rasa" torso that I added the armor plates to and the belt looks AWESOME. I was unsure how it'd look once it was cast... but It looks great! so far I think it's my favorite, and I'll probably order a couple more from you... the "human infiltrator" torso that you sent me is equally as awesome, great figure and I've got the perfect custom in mind for it!

These torsos are even better in person! A great idea turned out some great results.

A member on the other board wanted to know how the adventurer looked with arms. I think we finally have a use for all those damn 25th dukes.

Heh, would you believe that was one of my thoughts when sculpting the thing?

So I think I'm nearly done. I showed Sara my attempt at sculpting and she dug it. I'm no where near as good as I'd like to be but in truth I also don't practice all that often. That said, I have a couple of straps to do and a some other lil' details and I'll send him out.
I had issue with the ball joint and my quick fix may not be all that great. I'll let you decide.

That's awesome! Looks great finished. Gotta do a figure using my torso. Maybe for a certain date in December?

Finished my second torso for Hunter Artworks, I'll post pics tomorrow for critiques once the last of it firms up. It's a William Birkin-esque torso I'm calling "G-Infected" I think it'll look damn nice gang molded & painted up. For the other blank that I've got I was thinking about a Batman torso. Would any of you guys be interested in something like that? Both G & the other blank are Superhero Blanks.

Lookin forward to it. I ran out of rubber before getting to DH's torso and that of a certain undercover agent that was eternally unsatisfied with the end result and sent another version back to me. But they are on the top of my list for the new year. All of the commission work I have been doing is finished so I can start putting stuff I want to do on priority again.

how about the modified/fixed up Resolute Joe machine gun, the Cobra knife, and the hands I sent too? they'd sell nicely I think!

I present... G-Infected! Hope you guys like it, I'll be shipping it out when I finish the other torso.
