aw man this is awesome! I thought it was going to be a fan model, not the actual people involved in producing the movie! 3 years ago!!! far out!!! please post some more of what you have, i don't care if its not in a condition thats not so presentable (meaning i dont care if what you have is in a big mess), i just want more!! lol i love studying this stuff over and over again as im sure everyone else here does as well. Its like advertising on another level.

Thanks everyone.
Here is some related stuff, We (Legacy Effects) also did a Sideshow collectable of the Amp suit and Colonel Quatrich From Avatar.
I did the Quatrich Sculpt, and as a side note I designed And applied the Quatrich Make-up for the film tests ( keeping the Make-up chops alive!!)
We also built a 13 foot version of the ampsuit for the movie, it was all built in the computer and milled full size then assembled in our shop, so the small version was a piece of cake...OK it was a lot of work!!
Trevor Hensley And John Rosengrant painted the prototype model and figure (nice work guys!)

...the work you did on Avatar is seminal, and will influence many
filmmakers and artists. The designs were well thought out and well
executed. The movie is amazing and Stan would be proud of the finished
product, though I'm sure he saw enough material to know how Avatar
would turn out...

Best,
Mike
