Chindenathus Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 (edited) I'm interested too! I am curious how "articulation friendly" this kit will wind up. I like to add joint kits to some of my static resin figures from time to time. Edited August 6, 2008 by Chindenathus Quote

AcroRay Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 Amazing! Its great to see a pro work. Thank you for taking all the effort to allow us to look over your shoulder! I think, however, you might want to re-consider the facial scar. If you're seeing it in the unarmored line art and the helmeted closeup of him, that's an artifact indicating a shading area - the shadow of his nose on the cheek opposite the image's "light source" (3/4 roll-off, we call it in photography and cinematography). Using PERFECT MEMORY as a reference, you'll also see it on Exesdore and other characters in the lineart section - particularly those turned slightly off-camera. Kamjin's face, I believe, is supposed to be unusually smooth and even (for a Zentraedi, pretty-boy that he is), which you'll see in the animation art. However, I know you want to interpret his face in a more realistic fashion, so I'll leave that up to the master! Quote
AcroRay Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Yes, I believe that's one of the selections of images John is working with! Quote
captain america Posted August 19, 2008 Author Posted August 19, 2008 Hi AcroRay. Yup, perfectly aware that the line on his face is a shadow; you see that on many characters, I just figured I'd give him a little bit of history and character. In reality, the line is quite feint and can probably be covered quite easily during the build. Plus, I think that the scar was more visible and prominent when he had no hair. Things are a tad different now. See for yourself: Quote
captain america Posted August 19, 2008 Author Posted August 19, 2008 ...Oh, and the sculpting is done; I'll have pics of the masters tomorrow, right before I start committing to rubber Quote
Gabe Q Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 It just looks 'right'. I don't know how else to put it. Perfect. Quote
miriya Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 WOW!!! That is really awesome Cap! What is the limit on this? How many will you make max? Quote
AcroRay Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Wow, that's amazing, Cap! Look at that familiar Kamjin smirk - this'll be great! Quote
codam23 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I'm really in. CAP when are you going to put up your order list? Also he should come with a friend or 2.. Quote
Sdf-1 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I really like it a lot. Very nice to see Cap making figures. Quote
captain america Posted August 19, 2008 Author Posted August 19, 2008 New update on the 'Monkey http://www.samurai-monkey.com/boardz/viewt...p?p=14721#14721 I should be shaking dow--er, I mean getting ready to take orders by next week Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I'm heading to the Monkey forum!!! Quote
captain america Posted August 19, 2008 Author Posted August 19, 2008 WOW!!! That is really awesome Cap! What is the limit on this? How many will you make max? Don't know yet, but I'll try to make as many as the molds will allow. Quote
Viceland Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Well if it helps, I want a second one now... Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 I wonder if I'll ever be able to do something like this outstanding job Capt! Quote
lord_breetai Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 It looks awesome... so how tall would a 1/72 Kamujin stand? I'm thinking it would be small but then I keep reminding myself not to base on the size of a Miclone. I'm not sure how tall he was as a Zentraedi, so yeah... how tall is this figure? And umm... did the AJACs project die? I havn't heard anything about that in a long time. Quote
captain america Posted August 20, 2008 Author Posted August 20, 2008 (edited) Roughly 13.8cm tall. The standard soldier is about 13.1cm tall. AJACS: that was Jorwar_b's project; I had merely been approached to sculpt it if and when sufficient interested people could be found. Edited August 20, 2008 by captain america Quote
lord_breetai Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 oh I see... I was fuzzy on the details there. Anyway it's awesome and I want one. though I'd really love some 1/18 scale Zentraedi to play with my joes! (yay for 20" figures)... but no ones going to be crazy and make those. Quote
AcroRay Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Perhaps someone would be willing to make a conversion kit or two. Like a Bretai head shoes & belt buckle, leaving the builder to make his uniform.... Quote
Sdf-1 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Perhaps someone would be willing to make a conversion kit or two. Like a Bretai head shoes & belt buckle, leaving the builder to make his uniform.... Conversion kit for what? I suggest just sculpting the whole thing. Quote
AcroRay Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Conversion kit for what? For a GI Joe or Dragon scale figure. (Kind of like Henshin Cyborg...) But that would probably be a discussion for another thread... Quote
big F Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 That would be great a 1/6 figure made into a Zentran would be about correct for 1/48 or 1/55 Just to let all know the Samurai Monkey Forums have been hacked and Everyone will have to Re- register to see them again. Rob is rebuilding the site at this time. Quote
lord_breetai Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 For a GI Joe or Dragon scale figure. (Kind of like Henshin Cyborg...) But that would probably be a discussion for another thread... Nah, I meant a figure roughly 20" or so to tower over my 3 3/4" GI Joes. But yeah discussion for another thread. Quote
