Have you ever considered doing something by your own design? (if you haven't already)

Sorry it took me so long to respond, I haven't been on DA in a while. I think about developing my own ideas all the time I just never seen to have the time to do it.

Hey man, just putting this here to let you know I'm loving your work, escpecially the Gears stuff (as I'm a big Gear head myself)!
I also have a question though. I'm a prop builder and I'd like to use your work as a reference (planning on multiple Gears props and costumes in the near future). Are you ok with that?
Anyway, keep up the good work!

Hi Oliver.
Would love to get your input on a little problem i have this side of the world. I have had a go at trying to build my own 1 6th scale weapons but its a art on its own, and you have that talent i lack. lol
Have been looking around online for weapons for some of my sculpts and buying them online and sending them to south africa is turing into a problem. I know that a lot of work goes into these little gems but paying almost R4000 about 400 US dollers for a 1 6th beretta to be sent to me seems a bit much. any advice? I love your work and would rather pay a real artist for a cast of there work then feeding the machine.
Thanks and hope you can help

Sorry for the late response I haven't checked DA in a few days. Thanks for the compliment, always nice to hear someone like the work. Honestly for building a beretta from scratch I would charge $400 or $500 too. Lot of switches on a beretta a true pain in the ass to build, but a fine gun. I have made a few all in different sizes and might have a mold laying around. I know you said 1/6 scale but its never the same from one sculpt to the next so send me an over all length for the gun and if i have something that matches I'll let you know.

I have to ask, have you ever made a full scale version of anything? Seems like a hell of a lot of people would love props with this kind of detail!

Well, at any rate, you sir are the man.

your work is mind blowing! what is the clay you are using... such detail and crispness! cheers mate

Thanks f the compliment, glad you like the work. Most of what is in my gallery isn't clay I use a lot of modeling board and styrene or ABS plastic. The gray primer makes it look like clay but I could never pull that kind of detail in clay or wax. I do a lot of work on my lathe or mill so that helps with the crisp lines. I looked at your gallery as well, great work man. You combined a robot with my favorite animal in 101 peanuts so you have a new fan

Are you sculpting all this under microscope or you're not human? Because level of details is fascinating!
You are my hero. Small stuff sculpting hero.

AHH ARE THESE LEGIT CLAY OR 3D I CANT TELLLL
π: 0 β©: 1
Well Ultron and Ironman are mostly clay. The clockwork robots are a mix of clay and plastic. The other stuff is styrene plastic, acrylic and modeling board nothing on my sight is digital (though I am learning, just not good enough to post yet) Everything is the same color gray because I prime it with auto body primer before taking pictures so the models are not five different colors from the different materials.

Awesome work, added you to my watch list.
The detail and smoothness on your work is amazing, gotta admire that.
I sometimes sculpt small stuff (sculpey, like 5,5" figures or so) but they look like blunt pieces made by a kid when compared to work like yours.
Sometimes I think I choose the wrong career (architecture) =/
Keep up the good work!

I made the guns for the action figure that were produced after the games came out.

Wow, I stumbled onto this page looking for reference for the Hammer of Dawn prop I'm building. I didn't realize I've already been using your work as reference for a long time with the figures. Really cool and helpful to see these nice detail shots. Thanks for sharing!

HI!!! OLIVER Long time is been long time haven't talk to you at all

What size model do you make? 1:6? 1:18? Do you sell them?
π: 0 β©: 1
Um, I suck at scale they fit a twelve inch figure. Most of what is on my site I make for toy companies so I can't sell them.
π: 0 β©: 1
Not to rub it in (since I can't do what you do), but that would be 1:6 scale. The 1:18 would be the G.I Joe ARAH sized figures.

No offence taken. I should know the answer to that question (your not the first to ask)but I always forget.

Your welcome, great design work on the hat mask combo, and I think I saw an airship you built by following a link from another page. Very cool. Where are you based?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah we build an airship for this year's Dragon*Con. It's pretty awesome in person. We're based in the Atlanta area, so the main con we go to is Dragon*Con.

All kinds, really depends on what I'm making. Which piece do you mean?
π: 0 β©: 1
The ones with the flowing capes, somehow when I do one it cracks on me and it just ruins the mood and I stop doing it.
π: 0 β©: 1
Um, nothing in my gallery has a flowing cape. I'm happy to give tips but I'm not sure what you mean.
π: 0 β©: 1
Sorry I was researching sculpts and I liked your gallery and another one where it had the dementors from Harry Potter and remember I always have trouble with the flowing capes or hair, even fingers in mu figures get cracked and it is disappointing.
π: 0 β©: 1
No problem,I did get a tip from a friend who is a far better suulptor than I am. For capes my friend told me to start with sheet wax to get the shape you want and then coat it with ta harder wax to give it detail as the sheet wax is soft. I've never tried sculpting hair so I've got nothing there, but I use wire armatures for fingers and it works pretty well.
