follow up: Doktor A Custom Dumb Luck

Seeing the piece in person absolutely tells you a lot more. Being rather large, standing at 10-inches tall, it is quite an imposing piece and the details are clearly evident. I particularly love big pieces of vinyls, never really got into collecting minis. The colours on it is brilliant. Love the brown suit and obviously the golden copper finish.

The eyes or may I refer them as goggles as per my request is an absolute bonus. It would have been less impressive being just... eyes, I suppose. With a piece one of Dok's works in hand, I can now imagine what it is like having a more of his works clustered together. It would definitely be a breath-taking sight.

My apologies, it seems almost impossible for my camera to pick up on the GID toxic. It glows subtlely in the dark.

Just something I enjoy working on, collages:

Doktor A Custom Dumb Luck

I'm spilling the beans from my previous post here.

I commissioned this piece quite some time back and I was very keen on having my extra piece of Dumb Luck done up. I thought it would be intriguing and a good idea to see it 'steampunked'!

This sculpt by Gary Baseman is one of my personal favourites. Hence, I have no regrets seeing it in a different style and finish. To be honest, as discussed with the Dok, this piece itself is already very finely balanced. As I requested goggles for it (making reference to Amy Sol's "To You From My View" and the notion of riding on a Vespa with goggles), I took quite a stunner to see it done quite differently. And I love it. Apparently, the toxic is of glow-in-the-dark liquid.

Simple yet refined, I'd say. I am more curious to see the eyes (googles) in person soon. Big hands to the Dok. I hope he does decide to continue to do private commissions in the future.

"Venom is collected from a gland just behind the tear ducts of the dorsal eye cluster on a full grown worm. The collector may be required to physically grapple with the invertebrate to subdue it. Occasional bodily injury may occur but loss of life is rare and can be easily avoided by simple and swift removal of any bitten limbs.. Do not breath venom vapour ..."

some of my past collection

Be@rbricks, Kubricks, Soul of Chogokins, Macross and misc.

Most have been sold off, just unfortunately that I have lost interest in them. Only keeping the ones I really felt that I could not let go. And Be@rbricks have over-saturated the scene, and I foresee the same would happen to the vinyl scene but let's not get into that.

Moreover, I have not gotten my own place yet to properly set them all up. Believe it or not, I acquired all these from over three continents where I have previously lived. All the movings are killing me. And truth be told, these are all just temporary places for them. I have better ideas on how to display them in the future, patience is virtue, wherever I will be.
