Uhhhh I'm not sure if this helps figure out the proper scale size you should do but I took some screen captures from Canadian Turtle's Turtle Doc

Hope these help! Anyways can't wait to see how it all turns out

You cheeky bum! hahah How did you pull that down? haha I guess I should take it down. I was like "hey that's a crazy close picture of a Tu... wait that's my picture!" hahaha That is a stunt head from movie one... obviously. There are almost no heads left minus that one and the Leo re-build owned by this one SUPER secretive collector.

Quick Update
Here is a pic that better shows the "Raphness" as it were lol

Lookin' soooo good, bud. Stick around these forums after you finish this, myself & others will likely wish to commission something. Maybe you oughtta edit the first post to include some contact info so that those of us interested could get price estimates etc.

CustomPropSculptorGuy · 07-15-2010, 01:28 PM

For some reason the last time I uploaded pics to my PC, they stored EVERYWHERE and I keep finding randoms - so as I find them, I'll post them. I have a great one of the arms and wings, pics of the torso wrapped, everything - but theyre at the seamstress' house, so I can't just go and pop new pics... so, here are a couple of the helmet ... I think I have them in order... trying to keep some continuity going here. I'll post the others as soon as I find them...

Not a whole lot going on - I think is after the first coat of grey primer - i dont really know why I changed colors - I think it was to give me a better perception of where I needed shaping and depth changes... But here is a couple quick photos of the helmet in the "cutting and positioning" phase.

Assuming the materials get in tomorrow morning per the tracking number... I will be pouring the first helmet tomorrow night - can't wait !!!

Just might have to take that advice and use it

Not going to lie, I can run a little more than some of the others out there when it comes to commissioned work, but I like to give the person who hires me that which others can't -

If that makes any sense LoL

Thanks again for the support!

Didn't Spina redo that Leo suit?? I think I might have spelled the name wrong...

Yep he did. Our production company looked into contacting his client through him, respectfully the client declined the offer. I can't blame him for not divulging his clients info, that would be a dick move. Tom is a good guy!

CustomPropSculptorGuy · 07-16-2010, 12:06 PM

Yes, that he is. Tom was gracious enough to email me over on TheRPF.com and helped me a bit with this suit.

*Dane E5R* · 07-18-2010, 01:48 PM

Ah, Isaac. I do love seeing my art every time you post something.

And, I'm gonna go ahead and ask since no one else seems to be curious. How many thousands are these guys paying for these costumes?

The reason you dont see no one asking is because that kind of question is a PM kinda thing. Trust me, im sure lots have asked. Myself included.

I hate the power rangers with a passion, but I gotta say, this puppy sure does look good.

*Dane E5R* · 07-20-2010, 09:51 AM

I'm not sure why a question supposedly everyone wants to know is a PM question, but alright. I shall move it to PMs.

CustomPropSculptorGuy · 07-20-2010, 11:38 AM

ok, here it is - its $3,200 for a flex foam suit; $4,600 for foam latex and $6,500 for a dragon skin suit.

*Powder* · 07-20-2010, 01:30 PM
