[capulet1984]

It absolutely sick to me!

[El Diablo]

congrats and a great job by raf :thumbs2:
did he do one of his YouTube videos on this? I always love watching the process :)

[gomur]

Wow! What an incredible transformation. Changing the color of the iris and straightening that eyebrow made a huge difference. Stripping off that flat factory paint, you see how good the sculpt really is. And then you follow up with Rafael's masterful paint job. When it's all said and done I find myself saying "Yes, now THAT'S Arnold!"

[GenoToys]

Congrats! Rafa is the man!

[Vracula]

Raf is da man!

[Python]

I never liked this bust much... unil now, wow that looks good. As soon as that eye went in you could see a difference already. I look forward to seeing this one finished. Congratulations.

[jaxon]

Great work! Looks good. One thing that has bugged me about mine is the Endo eye looks too far to the right. Not inline with his eyeball. Do you know what I mean?

[docmario]

Great work! Looks good. One thing that has bugged me about mine is the Endo eye looks too far to the right. Not inline with his eyeball. Do you know what I mean?

Yea the endo eye is far to the right. So I told raf and he tried best to move the human eye more to the right. And this is the best he cud do...If he did more arnie will start having crossed eye. Lol.. i was gonna rip the endo eye n made it midline but it's circuited alrdy and it's harder to fix the endo part.

[docmario]

Thanks guys...The next change on arnie will be a major suprise. Noone knows but raf himself. He wanted to suprise me and this is gonna be sick with all mods he do after.

[dark_spidey]

That's all kindz of awesome!! Man I'd love to work on that sculpt

[travis]

Another fantastic case of where repaints just make it better...great job

[docmario]

Thanks guys I knew this piece has a lot of potentials

[Oni_Akuma_1982]

Very good work here.

[rykerw1701]

Outstanding work. That bust goes from suck to spectacular. If I was the sculptor, I'd throw you a party for showcasing my work that way.

[docmario]

Thank you again for the support guys..All credit goes to rafael

[Batminator]

That looks superb! The repaint, new eye and the eyebrow tewak really made it look like Arnold. Great job!

[docmario]

Thanks again bro..really appreciate

[built2shred]

Wow, he nailed the likeness factor... Better then Hot Toys even :)

[DynamicMenace]

phenomenal. Raf your amazing brother.
and that acrylic eye just puts it over the top.
congrats on a sick ass repaint docmario.

[docmario]

Thanks guys...Yea i very lucky to have this painted by raglf. He is a real master

[DynamicMenace]

most definitely. cant wait to see what he comes out with next,.

[docmario]

most definitely. cant wait to see what he comes out with next,.

i read it at cinemaquette forums that he will add soemthing to the chest hahha..he wudnt tell me what it is yet..but he said it will be a suprise and it will be very unique and awesome. he promised me in 4 days it will be done...

dammn...i m super anxious and excited at the same time hahha...i hope when he change the chest..the statue wont break..lol

[DynamicMenace]

he will come through. cant wait to see what it is.
but i have a pretty good guess what it is. ;)

[DeadGhostKnight]

Just putting the eye in made a HUGE difference without it being repainted.

Hope SS start to put Acrylic eyes in all their new LS busts.

[DynamicMenace]

yeah that would be cool if they did. they should for the price they are asking.

[docmario]

those eyes doesnt even cost more than 2 dollars top..yet sideshow manage to compensate for this...lol..i cant imagine what else they are doing to reduce the quality

[zimmermouse]

Incredible work, one of the best custom works on a statue i have seen sofar..one small thing is the robotic eye seems to pear a bit too much to the right compare to his "normal" eye. according to my opinion of course, but i could be wrong!
Could the extra bonus be a LED light in his eye?:confused2

[DeadGhostKnight]

yeah that would be cool if they did. they should for the price they are asking.

Pretty sure the new Joker LSB has acrylic eyes.......or maybe i read that wrong?

[Y3E]

Wow o wow. That is one great re-do! Congrats doc

haha,,bro that was the main issue. the robotic eye steer way too much to the right, and all arnie bust suffer the same issue. what rafael did pretty much tried to aligned the human eye as much as possible more toward the robotic eye without creating crossed eye effect..so we did move the human eye more to the right in comparison to original position.

the led robotic eye is already there with the bust.

the new addition is actually a metal chest plate under the flesh :)

and maybe we gonna put light up led as well on the metal plate..we'll see

[docmario]

Wow o wow. That is one great re-do! Congrats doc

thank u the new chest plate will be a new addition..so i cant wait for it...i hope we can also install a led chest light..

[darb]

this looks great I knew this had potential from the start but the paint app was goofy. I might have to give this a try it takes balls man!

[docmario]

phenomenal. Raf your amazing brother.

Yea bro a lot of things can be done on this bust. Just be careful it's hollow inside and make sure u don't break it when u do the eyes

[crazy_legs03]

What everyone else has said....amazing..

[docmario]

thanks bro

[docmario]

Here's the next part for the chest.

Raf decided to go with the chrome mira stainless plate from automotive part
