Thought I would share a fortune of photos I took of a recently gotten emanium Aphrodite. More on its background if/when the previous owners give permission to share. There never seemed to be that many photos of this jumbo out there besides from the original creator's website emanium.com/id2.html
So, I took 300+ photos, but I whittled them down to the best/better 93 photos
I started with my old digital camera, but switched over to my newer smart phone as it took better closeups. I did the whole "un-boxing" type deal, so took a bunch of photos on the individual items until towards the end, where I assembled her.
[edit] Uploaded the photos to my photobucket account for faster viewing s25.photobucket.com/user/bourno/library/Aphrodite_A
HERE is the folder page on my website of the photos ----> www.teambac.com/shogun_warriors/aphrodite
This is something I want to do with ALL my jumbos at some point. Take a bunch of photos of them from different angles around them. And make new jumbo pages that show them individually and showcase any repro parts that I could do for other collectors.
I took a few closeups where the paint had chipped on its right booby launcher side. Looks like the body shell is a clear resin, not sure if a fiberglass resin, and then looks like micro-balloon mixed for filling in. I took weights on all the pieces, and plan to take and record the volume of certain parts like the fists, arms, feet just for fun on density. Doing the upper/lower torso and head wouldn't be feasible or well advised as I plan to do this by water displacement
I may shoot, Eric, the original creator a message to see if he would add any details on the mold and creation. It is a custom that I would like to know more about.
