Come on now Zam I am We all figured out by now that you are just secretly takeing them from the LFL archive and makeing molds of them for all of us :) Seriously thought they are looking great and dallas seems to be saying close to the same things I have been.

Cool... thanks!!! ;)

My comments for what they're worth... Though they all look absolutely terrific to me.

#1 - I think the rope like parts are a little longer in the original and that bottom section they connect to is a little further down.

#2 - Could be the lighting and/or lack of paint but the buttons appear to be more beveled than smooth in the original pic - hard to see how you did them on yours.

#5 - The top portion of the original "mouse" greeblie looks like it has some dimples to me.

that seems a bit critically nit-picky here. I can see what you mean when you pointed it out, but I don't see that as a problem. I think the pieces are beautiful as they are. You're sure working hard on this!

Keep it up!

yes- it is nit-picky and they ARE beautiful as is... but why not make them PERFECT :)

ZamIAm asked for critiques....

True! If it's not much trouble then go for it! I wasn;t really complaining on how they looked to begin with anyway though. :)

Zam I Am wants perfection out of them so lets help her out. Just Like I want perfection outta the Cumberbun part of the skirt.

OH my mistake :D
I meant to say they're way off..not even close



to my 12" zam greeblies :lol:

Seriously though,
The things DCB mentioned were pretty much the same things I noticed. The only thing I'd add is the football piece looks like you need to grab yours in the middle and squish it a bit. The real one almost looks like that's what happened to it (to me anyway). It's a bit flatter in the middle portion on the edges horizontally in the pic. Anything more would be extremely anal, I mean going down to the way some of the lines were cut or the little dimples. Your leg / knife holder thingy looks a little wider on the top portion to me also but again, that's very picky and not something that would dissuade me from acquiring one ;) .

Still, great work!

I agree pretty much with what everone else has said, except I think that the leg greeblie is just a little too wide and maybe a bit too short. Where it looks wide is the top "flap" and where it looks too short is the center section. It may just be because your "flap" is more rounded where it comes to a point than in the picture of the original.

And the band going across the center section looks a little thin compared to the original.


Over all it's really impressive work. :)

Thanks yall for the critiques, that's what I really needed. Maulmaus, #2 buttons? are you talking about the bottle greeblie? I am not quite sure about what buttons you are talking about.

For the arm greeb, I might have to remake the whole thing, kinda like the football one, so, dunno if I'm gonna totally re-do that one cause most of it is already baked from version 1.0. But, I might. Hmm, I can cut the lower portion with an exacto... we'll see.

If you guys are in dire need, I already have version 1.0 molds for the arm, football, mouse greebs.I could have my hubby cast version 1.0 for some of ya. But, I seriously think version 2.0 will be tons more accurate. So if you wanna wait..
Version 1.0 ones that I have molds for are pictured here:

I noticed another thing. On the bottle.
The second wrap on the top of the bottle neck looks like it should be a little thicker / wider and have a slight crease / fold starting in the middle of the picture going to the right of the picture. Hope that makes sense.

I think I understand about the bottle greeb, I already made the u's on the bottom of the bottle a little higher, and put a second crease on the neck part. But it slants like this
.O// If ya know what I mean.

I'm not even sure about this myself! ;) It could just be the difference in lighting between your piece and the orginal (which is shinier). Looking at it again more closely I'm not sure there is a difference or not... I've highlighted the part I noticed.

Actually, I pushed the button on the right up a little, and kinda re-did the edges of the buttons so that it is separated a little more. Got it! :) I think you are right.

I think they're gonna be perfect when you get done! We're all going to be insanely jealous when we finally get to see the finished product! :D

Status on my 5 greebs, I fixed almost everything that everyone said except I haven't shaved off the (mouse) belt piece down yet. I actually started another armpiece from scratch outta sculpey. More pics prolly this week. I will be asking everyone for one last critique. Hope yall don't mind. Thanks for really critiquing my stuff ya'll, it makes it look a lot closer to the real thing. Then I will be casting. Whew! According to a 5'6" Zam, my greeblie proportions are about 1 cm off by being on the larger side. The leg piece I think is 3 cm off, but you almost can't tell, it's still looks ok. So, I might make the leather strap a little thicker. Haven't done any leather work just yet.

I already pressed down the top part of the bottle greeblie so that it didn't stick up as much above the neck part. I am gonna cast pretty soon, but go on people BRING IT ON! hehe. I hope that I don't make it worse. I started getting tired last night and was making unnessesary cuts. My new tools have helped and hindered my greeblie making. Cant seem to find a tool thin enuff for crevaces. Taking a second look,Darn, I forgot to make the v point of the leg greeblie pointier. I was worried about it being too long. I actually cut 1 cm off the top part.I will be sure to do that before I bake. But any other suggestions? BTW, thanks for posting em Dallas! :)

Do the dimples on the mouse need to be more pronounced? I cant tell on my screen.

Other than that the stuff looks fantastic!
