Krang's Android Body - FINISHED!

*Discogod* · 08-06-2011, 10:25 AM

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.

ClearStar · 08-06-2011, 01:47 PM

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

cool! what base figure is that?

*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!

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!

Patraw · 08-09-2011, 09:30 AM

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

*Discogod* · 08-13-2011, 06:40 AM

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...

I'm way pumped to see this complete.
