We had a visit from Phil Reed of www.battlegrip.com fame last night and he came bearing some special gifts. Take a look at that shiny dome on Pheyden up there, that sucker is actual metal! Phil used his special contacts to put together this awesome beast. As a matter of fact, Phil brought an entire BAG of metal heads! Exellis, Buildman, Pheyden and Sarvos all got the treatment. With a little polishing and buffing these things are crazy reflective. Massive thanks to Phil for making one serious nerd dream a reality.Also, I just finished up a new custom for artist Steve Talkowski's Sketchbot custom show. The festivities begin tomorrow at My Plastic Heart in New York City. This was a fun one to do, and the Sketchbot platform is very well made. I actually used only the pieces of the toy to modify the design, nothing sculptural was added, just a ton of cutting, gluing and painting. It was like a self imposed parameter and it made the process refreshing. If you are in the New York area this weekend maybe swing by and check out what is sure to be a very solid show. Congratulations on your new toy Steve! Well, back to the preparation for the launch!

Man that Sincroids head is a thing of beauty.
ReplyDeleteGah! Go figure, the show's on the day I leave the city for the next week and a half...and I've been itching to check out the Sketchbot stuff, too...
ReplyDeleteThat's a clever way to get the figure into a "riding" position, by the way.
WOW I THINK ITS TIME FOR THE SINCROID TO MAKE A MAINSTREAM APPEARANCE
ReplyDeleteAM I WRONG ???????
That Sketchbot customs rocks Matt. Really creative way to use all the parts of that figure to transform it into that awesome vehicle!! At first I thought I saw Armodoc parts and Gobon arms, but then realized, those were Sketchbot arms and legs! This guy was a perfect figure to integrate into a Glyos custom IMO, because it really has a similar asthetic. Great job Matt!!
ReplyDeleteAnd cool metal head too Phil!!
Matt!! This rocks on so many levels! Just plain WOW - thanks again for making time to do a custom for the show. I couldn't ask for a better launch than this. :)

ReplyDeletethat's insane! those metal heads must give everyone a destro look..
ReplyDeleteI'll try to get down to check out the sketchbot show, though, luckily it's going to run for a month, this is a busy weekend!
I'm dying for the drop!
When the apocalypse comes you can melt them heads down for ammo...
ReplyDeleteWho else wants a full metal Sincroid?
What's under the scarf?
ReplyDeleteNo need to melt the heads down. Use a slingshot and these heads can kill.
