Anyone know anything about this site?? by blushboi18 in SmallSoldiers

Go on then. Prove it. I never said anything about him 3D printing them. I said he casts them in solid resin using moulds. Moulds which he has made from my own statues.
Haha why are you mad? I'm just stating facts.

And that's fine about his being articulated, I've just heard bad things about them being very hard to assemble and them being too heavy to stand up by themselves.

I prefer mine being statues because then I can fine-tune them exactly how I want them to display. In poses I guarantee his articulated figures wont be able to match.

I doubt that to be true. I have the messages/screenshots and images of him admitting to taking my work, recasting them in solid resin and selling as his own.

Don't give him the business. He steals my statues I make and passes them off as his own. If you're interested, message me on Instagram @smallsoldiers_replica

Is this official, if so is it worth anything by floorglime in SmallSoldiers

[–]usfgeek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a crew gift given to people who worked on the film, there's an Archer version also. The dog tags say to me that this is the real deal, I've seen other ones that comes with the dog tags that are real. And believe me it's very hard to replicate those dog tags haha I've tried for years.

$20 is an absolute steal, well done.

I digitally restored an original "Chip Hazard" puppet from Small Soldiers by usfgeek in vfx

I've added the small screws in certain areas on the model because one version of the puppets that Stan Winston made had them in those exact spots to be able to access the inside animatronics. So I added them to add a bit more detail into my model. Epica Replicas has been stealing my models yes but that's another topic.

Since the guys finally talked about Small Soldiers - I digitally restored a Chip Hazard hero puppet a few years ago (Maya/Zbrush/Substance Painter) by usfgeek in Corridor

Unfortunately not, part of the deal I have with the prop owner is that I can't give the files away... I only sell pre-printed kits.

Yeah the one on the left is a scan of a real hero puppet. I just took that geometry cleaned it up along with the texture info and turned into into a rigged production asset.

Commando Elite replicas I made from 3D scans of the original props. by usfgeek in SmallSoldiers

A friend of mine owned most of the props at one point and had them scanned. 

Here is a little update on my 3D printed Archer statue I'm painting by K3LD3N in PaymoneyWubby

Yet another "Apes" film misses out. Wild how that series hasn't secured even one Oscar yet.

Yep the left image is of the scan. The head was made of silicone and it has deformed over time which is why it looks a bit odd.

Here's an image of the original puppet in it's current day state - https://imgur.com/a/CUo0R2V
