If you can get to a 3d screen then go, it's worth the trip. Having seen it in both views, the 3d one is far superior. The colours are richer, the detail is better, it's just great.
So many projects..... so little time.......

I'm afraid that the Pig Iron heads are too large to work with the ex Grenadier Future warriors.

Don't look too bad actually:



Thought Mark's later work at copplestone castings is a little more in scale helmet and body wise though the full face glass helmets are a little slimmer in the metal, (if you want me to send you one of those heads to do a test fig Chris let me know):

Very kind of you to offer, but I think I'll try the pressed plastic idea first, and then see how it develops. Those you did don't look half bad, I say, but I personally think the helmets are a bit much - not necessarily for the heads (since the helmets obviously have to "fit around" them), but coupled with the bare arms and generally light equipment looks a bit strange to me.

Nah disagree there but no worries Chris. In the film I think it was just that the atmosphere was not o2 rich enough for humans, rather than it being biologically toxin, (as the avatars were a dna mix and still carbon based O2 dependant). Again if you want one of the other heads, (not the ones I've used but the full visored ones I've got) let me know.

Cheers
