2 new casts: Forestman's Cap and Skull

by Recluce (WIP, Decal & Customizing Chat)

I've finally got pictures of these up. MaxiVisVires darn near bought me out of the cap at BF, but I still have lots of the skulls. The cap is the same basic lego forestman hat, but now in all kinda of interesting colors (ever wish you had a dark red cap for Will Scarlet?). The skull is actually from a megablocks set, but now you don't have to buy a MB set to get it (I always hate "supporting" them just for a couple pieces). It looks great in many colors, like the white and black with the standard lego skeleton, but also makes a great bad guy head in red (The Red Skull), or the Metallic version I have pictured for the Terminator.

Great job Recluce (like you need me telling you that ;D )! When I first saw the skull in another thread (don't remember off the top of my head) I thought you sculpted that on your own (glad I didn't embarrass myself by opening my big mouth for a change), but I guess since I never bothered with the MB Pirate line I didn't realize it until you said something. I really like the way the skulls came out (alas, poor Yorik... he owed me money). I would've suggested the Terminator, but, like always, you beat me to it. Querie: would you paint the skull silver or can the resin be "silver-ized" (I know that's going to be a stupid question since the answer is probably right in front of my face- but please humor me anyway).

Nice casts Recluce! That forestman's cap actually looks like real fabric, amazing! I really like the way the skull on the far right looks, you can really see all it's detail very well, I bet one of them would go well in a dungeon MOC next to a bunch of other bones.

Alan- I have used some shiny, metalic powder in a couple of casts before, and I think Recluce has done the same in some of hers as well, so sure, I would say she could "Silver-Ize" it.

Alan:   http://www.maj.com/gallery/RecluceMage/JagerEnterprises/Helmets/skull.jpg  Take a look at that larger image of the skulls and you can see that the skull on the far left is metallic.  It's got "gun metal" powder impregnated into the resin.  Unfortunatly my hobby store has not re-ordered Alumilite so I've been unable to pick up the "silver" powder.  I also took the pic with different colored skulls because they all show off various levels of detail.

Thanks Amanda for the compliments, but TLC gets the credit for the forestman cap, it's their design.  It just looks so much better in other colors.

Amanda and Recluce, thanks for humoring me- I haven't gotten to anything past sculpey and decals yet so I don't know much about resin creation at this point in time. Recluce, I did see the skull in the pic at the top and did notice the metallic look to it (almost like a pewter statue piece), I just wasn't sure if there was any paint modifications done to it or not (same with the red skull- it looked (but I can't find where you posted it on at the moment) red with black in it) but I'm guessing from your response, none of the skulls are painted (yet). Thanks again.

Nice!  I like the forestman one, because when I went to LEGOLand, there was this weird 4D show, and the cap looks exactly the same.  (I know it's official by the way.)

Awesome.  Just awesome.  Now I know I need to start resin casting.  I just need to learn how ;) And if Scout trooper helmets will work.

that'd make a great terminator head Recluse =) darn, i'm gonna be broke, :_( but its for the good of MIN (minifigs in need) a charity that helps minifigs in need of decals, and extra brasso, because of that tiny bit of the original print won't come off :_) but any how, lovely deign Recluse, i want to make a terminator army, ha ha ha ha, actually, Minifigs from the future come back to assasinate you rather than Micheal Jackson... oooo scary.
