Sin City Marv

hellboydce · 04-22-2008, 10:26 AM

William, how happy were you with the sin city marv you did, i'm a big frank miller fan, and searching around for any statues that had anything to do with it i stumbled upon yours (looks like you are the only guy that does the characters i like) anyway, the pictures i have seen of it don't show it up that well and i just wondered what your thoughts on it are?

It is a fantastic piece!

William Paquet · 04-22-2008, 11:15 AM

It's one piece that I still like a lot. Here's a couple pix that show him pretty well I think.

Is that a kit or a statue?

Also, I was doing the Kurt Russell thread in the movie section and I was wondering if William or anyone had done any of his characters, i.e. Snake Plisken or R J MacReady?

Statue.

Never have done Russell, but if I did it would be Plisken. THE THING is the better flick, but Snake offers a much more meaty character to render.

I always wanted to do him sans shirt, holding the spiked club from the fight with Ox Baker.

I would definitely buy one of those!

I also think you are right, the Thing is a better movie, but RJ MacReady is just a regular looking guy and would probably look too much like GI Joe or something. Unless you did him in his sunglasses and funky helicopter flying hat, that would be pretty cool. Maybe give him the gun

Oh yeah!! With the big ass hat, that would be kewl!

Yeah actually a bust would be better, and less expensive. Either as a prepaint or a kit. Don't underestimate the potential market. There is a whole group of guys that go to a "Thing" website on a regular basis. It is here

Maybe you could get ReelArt or Model Giants to pick it up, or just sell it yourself. I'd get one for sure and probably Hellboyce and a few others too.

Nbr3, not so much.

Oh, sorry man, I didn't mean to highjack your Marv thread, I just got a little off track.
