12/28 - Sculpt update on the Parwan (Rob Cobb Tropical Rainforest Creature cantina concept) - 1:18 scale.


I have completed my first version of the Parwan figure, assembling it’s legs and arms into place! Needs a little more refinement but YES!…A figure it has become! :)


All the parts you see for this figure are plastic cast pieces taken from molds of my original epoxy sculpts.


Upon assembly, I learned quickly that allowing for articulation in the legs made the figure unstable and extremely frustrating to pose. I originally planned to use small hinge joints or something similar to Revoltech joints for each leg appendage but when doing so, the hinges were unable to support the weight of the torso and collapsed outward. I had a feeling this would be the case, even with the legs being drawn together in a tight space underneath the torso.


I decided to allow each of the five legs to peg into a vertically drilled hole. Doing this did the trick, each appendage worked against the other, creating stable and strong support.


So articulation is as follows….


Double ball joint going from the head into the torso and swivel arms. Legs are pegged and have limited swivel.


Sometimes less is more when it comes to articulation. I know this is an argument for some but it is indeed a benefit at times to limit some forms of articulation in a figure to reduce the frustrations that would accompany it.


I really love the textures to the leaves and that the casts have picked up the sculpt detail…it appears very organic and has a strength behind them. I really look forward to getting this one painted up!


Next step will be to refine a bit and work on a sitting version as in Ron Cobb’s concept illustration…complete with table and chair!


Happy New Year!!! Be safe! More to come!
