3 of my favorites from William Paquet

[TNovak]

Here are three of my favorite sculpts by one of my favorite sculptors. All three are kits from Model Giants that I had professionally painted (sadly I have no painting skills whatsoever). The first is the Decimator Bust

The second is the Decimator full size

and here it is with other statues for scale

and finally the best Vampirella sculpt EVER. PERIOD.

The Decimator bust and Vampirella bust were painted by J Johnston (Liquid on the Forum) and the Decimator FS was painted by Dan Nash (Shedman on the forum)

Thanks Lou, I don't have the two busts back yet from J and I just asked him to change the weathered gold accents to bronze/copper, I think I will like that even better

my god man! straighten up the portraits before clicking pics LOL!

Doh! I am such a slob I didn't even notice it.

I like the Decimator full size the best, I would have gotten the bust also but I hate busts without arms, great collection and I see you went and got the Kull bust, looks real good.

Please post more pics of the chick chained up. :buttrock:

That one isn't a Paquet (I don't think?) I got it on ebay when I used to look for odd things that I liked that resembled Frazetta paintings. That one is fairly obviously supposed to be the "Egyptian Queen" shown behind her in the painting. The column, the head piece, the color of dress, the pose, it is obviously meant to be based on the painting.

Since ReelArt started to do actual Frazettas (along with Bowen DD and CS Moore stuff) I don't look as hard for these things as I used to. I bought a "Cylena" once with the intention of having her painted as the Sea Witch but then saw one that Nuff had painted as Storm and liked the African American look so I had Saul Alvarez paint her black instead of like Frazetta's Sea Witch. What do you think of this one FG Dave?

Nice paint ups!

I'm shocked you don't have the MacReady bust in your collection.

How are you coming on that one? I hope you went with the funky hat and snow goggles :buttrock:

I know a bunch of guys who would want one, including J (the guy who painted my Decimator bust and my Vampirella).

You should reconsider on the Decimator bust, pictures never do it justice. For one thing it is HUGE. it is way bigger than standard busts, I think it is about 9" tall. Once I get mine back from J I will post it next to other statues so you can see its scale. Also, like I said, it ALWAYS looks much better in person (I have no idea why) the detail of the armor is hard to see in pics but in person it is amazing. I will also post pics from the back and sides when I get it back.

I love this one too. More pics of that chained chick though!

[Model Giants]

I have to agree, William did an excellent job on all 3...

[TNovak]

:laugh: I'll see what I can do, but I'll post them somewhere else. I started this thread in William Paquet's section to show my appreciation of his great sculpting and I shouldn't be clogging it up with pics of other sculpts, I just go off topic sometimes.

Also, when I get the busts back from Liquid I will post pics of all of them together so you can see sizes and so on. Also I will post pics from different angles, especially on the Decimator bust so you can see the detail on the back of the sculpt as well.

[TNovak]

Here are some more and better pics from other angles after J made the changes on my Decimator bust

What a nice clean paint job.
Excellent work.
Might I ask the name of the painter?

[Nitefall]

Wonderful paint of the Decimator! :buttrock: I have the kit but have yet to finish it.

Thanks for sharing your display with those GREAT paintings above.:buttrock:

His name is J Johnston, or "Liquid" on the forum. His website is at www.girlsgunsandmonsters.com

[yongkykun]

Wow, love the sensuality that the sculptor brings out on the Cylena (is that the name of the piece?). Great art pieces you have there TNovak!

[TNovak]

Here are all three together. I am posting it so that Warhead and others can see the relative huge scale of the busts

[warhead]

WOW that is friggin huge and very tempting, maybe I should ask Mr Paquet to sculpt me a pair of arms and an Axe to add to that bust, what say you Mr. Paquet.

I'm kind of hoping that he is way to busy sculpting an RJ MacCready to work on anything else :confused2

[VinReaper]

WP your work is extraordinary!

Thanks Vrac!,

I forgot the date that you posted in another thread, has your soul been devoured yet or is that later this year?
