Thanks for the comments guys ^^
Mookeylama, that would be amazing if someone could acheive the real spongy fro...I wonder if I'd have to cast a fro and pour in flexible foam as the casting liquid, that might work...
For the sake of accuracy, and because I'm anal, I believe the correct quote is "Man, you come straight out of a comic book."

Yes, if the commissioner doesn't show up, I'll have to resort to either making my own line of them or attempt to sell it off to another guy willing to take the commission.

Black Belt Jones is a MUST!
GREAT sculpt!
A fantastic sculpt. Have you considered sending some pics to Enterbay? In a reply to a recent e-mail I sent them they said that they are intrested in doing some of the other characters from Bruce Lee's movies (subject to licensing issues of course) so if a Jim Kelly as "Williams" from ETD figure ever happens you could maybe get yourself the job of doing the sculpt.

Thanks supersladeagent! ^^
Thanks Les!
Les: Maybe I should make a custom of him from black belt jones
But I haven't watched that one yet but for some reason I heard it alot whenever Kelly came up haha. Wouldn't the custom be pretty simple since in the pics he seems to only be wearing yellow pants and thats it..
bcm77: that's a good thought...
I could maybe ask them but I'm sure Arnie could nail this one 10 times harder haha.
Maybe I could get Arnie to refer me hehehe

Couldn't you contact him through the way he sent the deposit? If it was Paypal, wouldn't they have record of his email address on your account?sunohc said:

he sent a personal check.
my mother had deposited it.
Do you know if I can trace that check back or does the bank just trash it?
He planend on sending another deposit after 2 weeks from the first, but never did...
Maybe some family stuff or something..

I'm not sure how the bank in question handles checks, but I can look at a photocopy of the check online. With that you'll have the Name and snail mail address, which you could use to find out his phone number or send him a letter.sunohc said:

Alright thanks for that.
I better do that as soon as possible since its the SNAIL MAIl haha.
ALso, how is this you can check online?
edit:
I asked about it and she said it's been too long since the check was deposited (Oct), so I'm gonna go ahead with plan B. I'll compnesate for the commissioner if he ever pops up since he did leave a little deposit.

UPDATE::::
Hey guys, I've decided to just go along and make use of this sculpt.
I asked the bank if they kept records of the deposit from the original commissioner, and I can't trace back to the check.
If the commission eventually finds me, I will offer a compensation for the deposit.
Meanwhile, I will make castings of this head avaiable.
They will be professionally casted by a moldmaker
Only 10 head castings or so will be available
and then I will only make custom figures of the head after that.
Custom full figures will be cheaper "preordered" after i make prototype
it will include the red and black robe he wears in ETD,
the yellow costume with patch, underwear, robe pants, shoes, hands and airbrushed head and some parts airbrushed to match skin toneon the body
red robe i'm talking about https://img411.imageshack.us/img411/1582/robeal8.jpg
It will be $25 shipped anywhere in US (a little more international)
and it will be a clean white resin cast with a pocket hole fit for a neck post.
Please send me a PM or an email (dabomb_izhere at hotmail.com)
and I accept paypal(easiest) or money orders.
Only the 10 head castings or so will be sold because I don't want to ruin the first and only mold.
Thanks

don't worry, there's still still a few left
I let my thread die too far lol so many aren't checking back in
so you're in luck!
If I get waay over 10 people requesting, I could move the limit up to 20, but once I get the caster started, I don't want to ask for another 10 and find out the mold got ruined so I gotta buy another one , so I'm only ordering as many as I can for one mold at once

Interesting that you're getting the casting done by someone else. Is there a reason why you're not doing it yourself? Also, would you mind sending me a PM about how much it costs and how many can you get from a mold?sunohc said:don't worry, there's still still a few left

I'm thinking about getting something cast.

oh, i can do it myself.
its more cost-effective if you do it yourself truthfully.
but I 'm acutally also allregic to silicone and resin and I get these horrid rashes that look like sunburn rashes all over and it spreads and stays for like 3 weeks, so I try to keep it minimal.
usually you can get anywhere from 20-30 from a mold, maybe more, but it tears or get all lose and shirnks after alot of castings regardless. microwaving it helps to prolong its life a little.
pm sent about costs
still some left.....

I have a skin allergy to Neoprene rubber that sounds identical to what you get, so I would have problem too, but I plan on using gloves. Also plan on building a vacuum table since I heard it's best for casting.
I also read online somewhere that baking the mold is necessary after a few castings. Does the microwave produce the same results?
