Interest 2-1b head kit.....version 3

[zorg]

Edit... Check post #24 for updated sculpt pics, the pics in this first post are quite different from where it is at now.


hello,

i have been getting requests for 2-1b head kits.

i need to make new molds but i thought i would update the head accuracy whilst i was doing it.

I need to invest hundreds of pounds(£) in silicone, resin, plastic and packaging to do a run of these.

if you are interested please state below so i can prioritise projects. if there is little interest i will work on other items instead.

and a finished head for example only (only kits for sale none finished)

there is also a thread here where you can upgrade the resin neck ring to a machined aluminium one

Star Wars - FOR SALE - 2-1B Machined Aluminum Neck Rings

2-1B Machined Aluminum Neck Rings for ZORG Sculpt - Size and fit are exactly like the resin Zorg ring! Photos show these right off the CNC. Still need to be washed and packaged. Chris (ZORG) gave me permission to make these. 40+ rings available. $53 shipped to 50 States - International...

100% interested and would take one for sure!

Im definitely interested in one

Very exciting! Which area of the sculpt are you looking to improve on the accuracy?

 

[ChrisGoelz]

Very interested! Is there also an option to have the mic piece left out to put in a real found part? (Not that I have one yet )

 

[TheLordFett]

Very interested!!!

would like the found part option if you consider leaving it out of the sculpt.

thanks!!!

I was going to ask if an option of a head without the resin mic installed would be a good idea.

Cutting the resin mic off CLEANLY is pretty tricky.

Maybe casting it without the mic might be more tricky. The area where the nose meets the mic has to be really really thin for a good fit.

Opinions please on what you think??

Excellent! Yes, I am interested. Please and thank you.

Yes I’d really like one without the mic piece to allow for the real part to be installed.

Very interested! I would like to get one without the mic if it is an option but if not I would still buy one with a mic.

please remember fitting a real mic is not straight forward, you still have to cut/grind off the clamp at the bottom and shape it.

Chris what update to the sculpt will you be doing?

 

[zorg]

i will point out the changes later, but it will be almost every area of the main head part, neck and neck ring unchanged.

biggest change probably the nose, it needs bulked out, especially the bridge of the nose,

texture as well.

here is a customers head (sorry i can't remember who) this is the direction it will be going, more heavy texture in places and bulked out nose

I love mine... but I’ll probably get a new one. I really enjoyed building this one.
Speaking of which, here’s mine in its temporary spot. I’m moving, & this is a nice & out of the way spot for it.

congratulations on getting a new place, i'm not jealous at all

i've started on the rework today, it's going rather quickly.

concentrated mainly on the rear half, deleting the small line, adding filler, reshaping etc..

i'll update with some pics once i have something worth showing.

if anyone has any ideas or suggestions on what they would like to see on a casting please chime in.

or if you know of something that is "off" on the sculpt please say.

i think i will recess 4 holes on the sides of the front half for the little magnets i supply, so no need to drill out the resin cast ones, just plop in the magnets and you are done. the location of them is being moved to a more accurate location.

as for the other 4 pieces that go on the rear half, from experience i think the mold could get damaged easily so i will leave them off.
i had spikes on the ver.1 casts and they tore up the silicone trying to get the casts out.

Interested!

I'm very interested!

I would be interested in one for a potential G2-1B7 build.
