Halloween is nearly here again. Hurrah!
And just for the fun of it we decided to create a new Copper Creeps photo spread, in a Halloween style.
The complete range of Copper Creeps figures enjoy some frolics among some seasonal gourds.
All eight of the figures are still available to purchase in their open edition “Bronze or “pewter”” finishes. Also a limited amount of the Mono Handpainted versions are still available. The Phantom, Imhotep, The Wolfman and The Gillman can still be purchased in their rare Monotone painted styles direct from the online store.
I will have these four unique painted version of series 1 of Copper Creeps available at Toycon in London on the 29th and 30th of April.
Two each of The Monster and The Bride will be available in these striking red and metallic tones.
Each will be £100.
Any remaining after the show will be available through my online store.
I will have this single set of “Ivory” finish series 1 Creeps available at Creaturegeddon on the 20th and 21st of August.
I will have these unique custom painted Monsters available at my booth at Creaturegeddon in Watford on the 20th & 21st of August.
A little look at the packaging for series 1 with those lovely metal foil Copper labels..
Copper Creeps are now digital creations. They are made the old fashioned way, by hand. I realise that in this day and age this is a novel idea so I thought I would show you how I did it.
This is how I made the master form of the Monster for series 1.
The photo above shows what I am using for this prototype master sculpt. More of a construct than a sculpt.
Acrylic geometric forms. Styrene sheet. Acrylic and Styrene rod and tube. Lead tape. Some plastic hemispheres. And some epoxy putty.
My tools for this job. All hand tools apart from a mini Dremel type drill not shown for bulky cutting and sanding, of which there is not much. As I am mostly using acrylic and styrene I am chemically welding more than gluing. Using Dychloromethane.
The form is constructed from the various Acrylic shapes, cut and welded together and then fine sanded to give the frosted surface. Any small gaps can be plugged with Epoxy filler.
The hairline and collars were added in thin Lead sheet which is easy to contour around the compound curves.
The rivets are small styrene domes found in a hobby supply store.
Some rub down and finishing required before molding but he came together nicely.
Three days work so far.
This is the power switch on his back. Mostly made from Styrene sheet. The blue switch crossbar is acrylic rod which was tuned to shape.
Some more views of the piece.
The whole thing is given several coats of primer and wet sanded back to get a nice smooth finish before going for molding and casting.
A final top coat of primer before he heads off.
The Bride from the “Allerdale” Edition. Still a handful available. Edition of only 10 of each character made.
