ROM: Spaceknight of Galador
 

This is a figure I've been working on in my spare time all this last year. I thought I'd go ahead and show pics of the parts that are in primer now. Obviously it is Joe scale (tallish) and will come with removable jetpack and neutralizer weapon.

I have most of the other parts almost finished, but they still need some wet sanding and polish before they are ready to primer. Look for finished pics in the next few weeks.

Sweet work Alyosha!!...I was a die hard ROM fan back in the day.

Will be watching this one :)

ROM rules! Love the idea, it brings me back!

Ally, you never cease to amaze me.

There ain't a font big enough to convey how mush I WANT this fig.

Oh! Very nice. Rom the original Spaceknight brings back memories.

Any updates Alyosha?

Not just yet, but forthcoming. I've been working on some new molds for the store and a couple of straight customs I want to finish before the Holiday.

I look forward to watching this, great idea!

I'm excited for this as well. Rom is so cool.

If you ever make copies of this I want one (or two)

Oh, he'll be making copies, plenty of them. It's how he pays dem billz, yo!

WOW! Nice job! Is it 3 3\4 scaled?

Please add me to the omg-I-SO-need-this-piece list... very nice job - can't wait to see the completed work of art!

He's almost done. I just bought the styrene sheets I need to fabricate the neutralizer, and am planning to finalize the sculpt this week. The backpack still needs a lot of work though...stupid thing.

Here's a quick pic of the scratchbuilt Neutralizer that I'm making for him. When this is finished, I'll just need to tidy the jetpack, and tweak the sculpt a bit. Look for finished results in about 14 days.

this is really looking cool so far. :)

Nice work! Can't wait to see the finished product

Here are a couple of snaps with some added accs, and the jetpack finally pegged. Still need to finish that sculpt, and finish sand and primer the remaining limbs. The blast effects are completely removable for display without them if you like.

This is really looking good Alyosha :)

You're a master at what you do man.

So cool man. It's awesome to see your plan coming to fruition!

The Mad Thinker would be proud :D

Are you planning on putting shoulderpads with hoses leading to the backpack?

Yes, the shoulderpads are already on it, just not in the pics. The hoses I was going to leave off since they were only on the toy, but they would be easy to add if you liked. I did consider having one chromed completely, and then adding monofilament light piping to the eyes, chest, and weapons. That would necessitate a line to the weapon for sure.

Love your idea of chrome with monofilament lighting... that would be awesome!
fwiw the short hoses from the shoulder pads to the jetpack showed up in the comics but they're easy to miss

Helder's mini-bust and full-size statue have them too

Whichever way you go with this piece, I love your work
Please put me down for one (or two if you do a regular version and a version with lights :D )

That looks awesome... I can't wait to see the finished version. Post pics of his feet if you have them and put me down for one if you make more!!!
