Krang's Android Body - FINISHED!
 
I've been asked to make a custom figure of Krang & his android body, based on the model sheets of the original cartoon. I'll post a proper write-up in a bit (hard to type right now as I've just drilled clean through my finger), but here's a few pics...

Wow dude. Very excited to see this bad boy come to life. Great job so far. Keep us posted with your progress.

that's the best Krang sculpt I've ever seen period.

I really like the krang figure. Amazing work

Powder 08-06-2011 02:26 PM

AMAZING! But more importantly, what happened to your finger, dude?! Are you OK?

909 Turtle Fan 08-06-2011 03:25 PM

TheCanadiandrome 08-06-2011 08:30 PM

oh man! consider me interested!

Jester 08-06-2011 09:02 PM

That is a stellar Krang Sculpt, man.

agreed- it looks great

Eiko 08-06-2011 11:32 PM

Really really rad.:)

Discogod 08-07-2011 03:41 AM

Thanks guys. I've since bulked out Krang a little, but I may have to rework him - customer's not happy with the size...

909TurtleFan - the base figure's a Jakks TNA Samoa Joe figure, with Hasbro Juggernaut feet.

Powder - I was drilling into the hips and went through, my finger was underneath and I drilled pretty much clean through the tip. Looked a lot worse than it is....

Must sound worse than it is, too. Cause that sounds...painful.

ouch man! damn! :teek:

so this isn't for u then, it's for someone else?

Discogod 08-08-2011 09:50 AM

That's right. It's a commission for a very big TMNT fan.

Couple of updated pics:

Revised Krang sculpt:

Basic android sculpt (yellow midsection is just a rough card mock-up):

I like what I see so far, but did you plan eny articulation in his elbows? First picture suggests that you plant to articulate them only in shoulders and wrists. But Krang looks superb, and waist-down it's really good, can't wait to see it finished!

Discogod 08-08-2011 12:35 PM

His elbows aren't articulated. I've lost the elbows, neck, torso, waist, thigh and ankle rockers. I may swap the arms out for slightly longer ones, but those too would have the elbows sculpted over - it's aesthetics over articulation on this one, a strange concept for me.

TheCanadiandrome 08-08-2011 10:18 PM

that's a wicked commission! man if u take requests.....lol! :D

Patraw 08-09-2011 09:30 AM

Looks quite promising so far, especially the Krang sculpt; looking forward to seeing the finished product!

Tech detailing on arms & legs. I'll get more photos up later, but I've also extended the arms by an inch or so and completed the basic structure of the torso cavity. Hoping to have the sculpt finished this weekend...

papa_smurf73 08-13-2011 07:18 AM

I'm way pumped to see this complete.
