Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

Some more pics on the other forum... I think this is shaping up to look pretty good.. Not perfect but pretty darn nice.

While not perfect... I would say its a fairly good representation of the film version at this scale.

I don't think any of the photos posted so far are good representations of what they really look like. Hard to take good pictures where lighting doesn't ruin it.

I'm still not sold on the production piece. The blood application looks like it was applied by an amateur. There's something about the teeth that don't look good. The grey paint app looks flat. The statue does not appear to represent $399

What the video manages to show, is the inner mouth + tongue looks quite good.

Agreed Jaws,looks much better in the new pictures & video Raf posted.
Not perfect at all but what a relief after seeing those first in hand pictures.
Blood application is indeed amateurish but something that can easily be improved I think.

As he says it's all about lighting, i hate to bang on about lighting but when it comes to sculpted fur, just moving a light can make a huge difference...

Here's my POTA Caesar lit from above.



And heres the same pieces, camera hasn't moved, all i have done is moved the lighting below.



Judging from Rafs video and opinion i'm going to be very happy with my Wolf, i will probably do some clear coating here and there like the claws, maybe repaint the teeth slightly but overall i'm very happy with what i see.

Also i noticed on his video his seam is very very good!
