[CrimsonGuard101]

[ero]

VERY nice. I love that you gave him his comm link doohickey on his right arm!

[Tankster]

Dang man I need a copy of one of these

[TTT]

I just shot cherry Dr Pepper out my nose but it was worth it !
Love your sculpts man !

[Neuspeaq]

Will you (CAN you PLEASE) mass-produce it?!?

[Cloud Strife]

Krexx, you did an AMAZING job on this sculpt, and I knew you wouldn't disappoint. You've blown me away, man. I can't wait to have this in hand, and painted!

Thanks, Krexx!

[Shipshape1983]

I would like to purchase one..

[CrimsonGuard101]

I would like to purchase one..

lol it will be $1,500... I would charge $2400 persoanlly...that is beyond a work of art...

[Jinx723]

This is 1/18th scale?!?
My Good this a beautiful. How long did it take you to make it?

[lowlight27]

Wow! Dont forget to share with us...
Great job!!!

[nova]

He's kinda got a thunder thigh thing going on.... The thighs look pretty thick compared to the waist... Might be the photos and all the random angles.. A set of Simple Turn-Around pics would be great to get a better feel for the actual proportions of the figure.


I assume this is sculpted in Wax? I'd love to know the specific medium you use for your sculpts.

[KREXX]

thanks , all of you for your great feedback , I'm very pleased with this sculpt , ..Jinx , it took me about 10 days to sculpt it , .. and for copys , you can ask directly to my friend cloud , he owns this sculpt ;)

[kingphilbert]

Jaw drops... Amazing. Can't wait to see what CS does with it.

[Superjoe74]

The sculpt is right in line with the classic ARAH style and it fits in perfectly with the rest of that line. The figure is great all around but, I really like the head sculpt and the facial detail.

[Zarzak]

Wow! If I was drinking Dr Pepper, I'd blow it through my nose, too! This is awesome. Really clean work. You sir, are at the top of the game :| Crazy awesome.

[Stl_Brgd_PFC_Ramar]

Wow....you've got excellent sculpting skills there, Mr. KREXX! Hope you decide to share more on future projects.

[meeko]

Excellent !

[Shock Viper]

Why is this man not signed up by Hasbro yet?

[This I Command!]

Simply beautiful. Amazing work.

[MJjoe4life]

This is freaking awesome!!!! Great work!!!!!

[CobraOfficer999]

Dang man I need a copy of one of these

Ditto

[GILTYONE]

Wow now i would love to see that figure in production!!

I think that has to do with the fact that his thighs have the added pads on them. I really dont think they are too large.

Krexx, great work. Your skill are as sharp as ever. I cannot wait for Cloud to get this so we can see it in person.

[devildawg]

That is bad ass.
Cloud, make sure you post pics when it is painted.

[BigErn]

Good lord, I can't wait to see this thing painted, incredible.

[Ford]

Sweet Fancy Moses! I don't even like Serpentor, but I love that figure! Be careful Cloud Strife, you've got a hell of a task in giving that a paint job worthy of the sculpt!

[Jimbotron]

Hoooooowwwwwww did you make that???? Like, seriously. I want a step-by-step report. Amazing work.

[galactron22]

Wow...if the fans can do this amazing sculpt job, why can't Hasbro...Amazing job Krexx.

[MonkeyBoyZ]

So good!

[CrimsonGuard101]

Wow...if the fans can do this amazing sculpt job, why can't Hasbro...Amazing job Krexx.

Thta's no fan...thats a Super freaking blow your eyes out and your planet up Star Destroyer Uber Fan lol.....

[Grippen]

That is in fact sculpting. I guess the only way I could afford this is if someone casts it. Lots of work there way over $1000

[Rider]

Ouch ...

Utterly impressive..
Details like that.. You have to be damn patient and maybe a little stubborn ^^
Excellent (excellent!) work Sir !

[Dod Ear]

This is amazing. What I find really impressive is I believe toy companies (I know at least with head sculpts) get to work on a larger scale and then have it minimized to a 1/18th scale. Can't believe the detail you worked in there without that benefit. Well done.

Does this commission mean Cloud Strife decided not to finish his WIP?

[gruppenfuhrer88]

Pretty freakin' sweet man, wish I had one.

[DarkHorse]

Jose, this is fucking epic! FRONT PAGE PLZ!

[Dragasses]

as if cloud's custom wasn't enough.

this this mind numbingly incroyable.

[gijoekungfugrip]

I want to purchase this sculpt big time.

[KREXX]

I'm really happy to see how all of you liked this sculpt :) , it really makes me keep sculpting , thanks for all your great feedback , it means a lot to me .... as always , keep watching , more is coming !

[Headman]

This is awesome work.

[FlintWO2]

Please Hasbro hire this guy to work on the modern sculpts. Simply amazing, I can't wait to see it painted, and completed.

[nerdsgetchicks]

He looks great. I assume it was molded with Apoxy Sculpt?

[Malcolm]

Love the scale detail, I was pissed when the 25th version had the shtst detail and paint job.

[edhellman]

looks great, Krexx! When's the store opening?

[Mad Geneticist]

Great attention to the small details. Did you work this up from a "dolly" frame or add onto one of the existing figures? I am also interested in what medium you used. It looks like it might be a two part epoxy putty, but it is hard to tell.

[IIIzoeIII]

holy....santa claus....$h!t
I can't even imagine how much I'd charge for something like that..
unless you have a tool that makes scales on the fly

[c_money_collins]

The scales really speak to the level on detail you car about. Those must have taken a little bit of time. What's amazing is the fact they are all the same size.

What tool did you use?!?

[The Delta]

thats is just sooooo sweet.

[The Muppet Slapper]

Could you please explain your sculpting process for the scales? That is not easy to do.

[stocos28]

Great work as usual, brother.

[KREXX]

hey guys , thanks all of you for your comments :)

Nedsgetchicks.... no , close, it was sculpted using a mix of an epoxy , with polymer(plastic
powders, an a machine oil ,it's a personal recipe I have developed over the years ,nothing fancy
just mixed the material to fit my sculpting ways

Malcolm .... thanks , yes , the hasbro one was done in a hurry

edhellman ....thanks , the store will open soon ,I will keep you all informed on this :)

Mad Geneticist ... this is done the same way the figures were done in the 80ts and 90ts
using the frame or tooling and articulation from several figures,with my material (a mix of epoxy
) and lots of time in the sculpting

IIIzoeIII .. the scales were very time consuming , but I knew once finished , it will look great
it was worth it !

c_money_collins ...yes , they took a lot of time , and the tool is just a small , pointed tool
I have , but the special tool here , was the time it took

The Muppet Slapper.. for sculpting the scales , I just draw them in the material , with my tool
they were more time consuming than a special technique :)

stocos28 .. thanks , glad you liked my serpentor

[Flint Faireborn]

Good GOD!!! Now that is a work of ART!!!

[TheWilloughbian]

Wow.

[JediKnutt]

Must have one.

[Storm]

True Master Sculptor!! Amazing work, there is no words in english language to describe how fantastic this is.

[KREXX]

hey Storm , thanks a bunch! , ..in one more day I'm gonna post pics with his cape and classic serpent dagger .. keep checking this tread :)

[footloose]

thats amazing.. nice work

shakka , I think the plan is to cast this entire figure and offer it to the fans , .. you will know when this happens for sure , but it won't be just this prototype ... thanks a bunch for your support!

[07GT500 COBRA]

If this had been placed in Hasbro's case at Joe Con or SDCC it would definitely be causing a buzz on all GI Joe forums. I'm another fan who is moreso meh when it comes to Serpentor, but this looks like a must have figure.

[Dod Ear]

In all seriousness, please front page this. This is incedible and easily worthy of that position.

[KREXX]

guys , thanks for all the good intentions :) ...! means a lot to me!
