I may not be able to ever afford the full sculpture, but I can help you out a little.

Hi Ken As for selling them ,perhaps the best way to approach this with TW . I would suggest doing the exact same process as what PRS did during the ERROR tour . Let Patreon supporters bid on the purchase of these . That way all the funds will go towards TW . Packaging them in a special box will also allow them to sign them too ! Perhaps numbering them would be a good idea too ! Pricing I wouldn't have discussed, because now you've left a dollar amount of what they will fetch for ... Now as for the sculpture.... since you're contemplating making another face anyways, make two ...this may inspire a collector to get both . As for lacing, may I suggest using dyed dental floss. Thin/ light enough to allow "flow/movement ". And also the same correct thickness in the shoes and glove laces. As you mentioned, the bass is rough cut right now . Perhaps use different sewing thread thickness' to mimick the different guages .don't forget her signature on the back of the headstock. Also during this period of the tour ,she had the LED light strip in . So the power pack behind the headstock important detail ! As for the base love it !!! For all three of them . Just bigger to allow them to sign them ,and having their signatures easily visible. Not just a after thought. Having just the bass as a separate lower price tier is also a very good idea. 👍 In closing ... Getting in touch with them will most definitely give you the needed input to continue on your journey. Pau's gonna be the most difficult...because you won't be building a entire kit ...understandable ! So Getting ideas from Pau would definitely help. Because she is the most creative of them . If you need more photos of Ale's bass details, let me know .I can send what I have .😊

I would love to see Ale's face when she sees it. The bae would look cool in like a wood stage floor. But, that looks cool.I'm an artist and was thinking about doing some work in acrylic on canvas of The Warning.. I mainly do rock bands and artists. and since I'm guitarist I mostly do rock and metal musicians.

I love your work so far, I think this is a brilliant idea. Sadly I won't be able to afford to buy one outright it would take me a year or more to save enough to purchase and then there is the huge cost of shipping to New Zealand which would probably double the price. But I do think you will get buyers without too much trouble. I might be interested in just Ale's base though that would be great, would you possible be able to include a smaller version of a painting of all three girls (around the same size or slightly larger than the bass itself) with the bass situated in front with the girls kneeling or standing behind it, that would look great. Just an idea, either way I'd definitely be interested in the bass on it's own, though I will try and save for a full size figure but won't hold my breath, bills to pay etc. Now to the sculpture itself. I agree with you Ale's mouth on the sculpture is very off putting, it looks so out of place. I like the idea of going with the more serious look, with perhaps a hint of a smirk. I think that is the look most of us really associate with her, though her smile is wonderful and lights up the room when she does it. I love the bass, but I think the lightning bolt logo needs to stand out a bit more (it may just be the video) but it seemed to be barely noticeable on the sculpture. As for your base (ground) I love it, The lightning bolt with crack from our thunderous Ale is brilliant and as Picard would say, "Make it so" I do think her abs need a little more work, there is something just not quite right there, (I can't really put my finger on it) the same with her sides they seem perhaps too smooth, but I'm not an artist so will bow to your expertise on the matter. And I agree her backside does need a slight lift. If you can get an Official go ahead from the girls themselves that would be wonderful, perhaps you could stamp an Officially Licensed logo onto the sculpture to add authenticity as well as a limited Item batch number showing 1/100 etc that would ensure they became rare collectables in the future. (Oh and don't for get to add your signature too. I really hope Dany, Pau and Ale as well as Rudy and their parents do give you the official go ahead and if it helps then tell them a nobody from the bottom of the planet in New Zealand thinks this is a great Idea.

Wow this looks good.

Hi Ken this is coming on really well, I like the lips closed, more serious but intense, not too intense look. I believe the lips closed is a more elegant look.

I think it really conveys the joy of playing their music and the stage moves. Keep refining-I think 12" figures may work better for the price point the fans would wholeheartedly support.

Thanks!

Good luck Ken. I think this is a great project.

I have to say this is really impressive work. I think maybe it's too much abs. I agree that the bass being a little more forward would probably be good but honestly how can I critique this? The lightning bolt base is very cool. I can't wait to see the final version! I really cant wait to see all 3 sculptures! Great job! Keep going!

Awesome work. Future customer here. 🤘🏼❤️‍🔥🤘🏼

I think I was obsessed with Ale and her beauty, but you going beyond 😂, ok I’ll buy to you and going beyond so far 😅

My God, she looks alive 😮

Sry to hear you couldnt arrange the meaning with TW Team.The abs maybe a little more than what I see by looking at TW concert vids.Yes Thunder Queen ALE on their lightning bolt symbol...Love it.Yes opening up the arms more and letting the bass lay across the front of the body more,also agree.Yes agree the smile needs maybe the biggest adjustment love the happy smile face,but than the photo of Ale looking all serious and so sure of herself came up on the screen,with the different patterns and and see through arms....Yes love the hair..ALE with her thick different layers of gorgeous hair. I hope I can find a way to get all three..of course Pau is a must get..but all three sound great too.Hope Rudy.Dany someone from their support staff get ahold of you on this great undertaking.I do realize as you mentioned they are on tour and very busy,but still fingers crossed they get in touch with you.

You are a very talented human being. What else can you do, cure cancer? God bless you, dude. 🙏

Hey Ken, I gotta tell you I'm impressed with your results so far and the amount of forethought and afterthought you are putting into it. I also appreciate you're doing this in the spirit of generosity and support for DPA. I only had a couple of thoughts to offer. I realize smiles can be difficult -- just ask da Vinci -- but in my experience fans who comment seem to really love it when she smiles more, so I'd try to stick to a smile even with the degree of difficulty being what it is. And the abs, while I'm sure they're in there, seem a bit too cut. She's just a tad bit softer and rounder than her sisters for whatever reason. Dany and Pau have a bit more definition. Dany seems to have a very low body fat percentage, and Pau could probably dabble in bodybuilding if she chose to. Anyway, good luck and keep up the good work. 😀👍

Ale el alma de The Warning ,la bajista de mas calidad en el rock actual,maestra del control del ritmo y el tiempo, Ale un talento no muy normal

Hi Ken Fantastic job so far . I would prefer her with a smile , I can’t afford the whole piece , but would definitely order a bass For a shadow box I would like to create .. Keep up the great work

Wow. Really nice work. I agree with the comment about having Patrons bid. That will start things rolling. Also, consider a Kickstarter campaign.

awesome work Ken. keep up the great work!🤘

Esta ompresionante la escultura, felicidades. Saludos desde Mexico.

Excelente trabajo de la estatua de Ale, bravo

Ale is a human Barbie doll. You could also create a line of 12 inch figurines, and find someone to mass produce. Would you consider Dany and Ale, in similar scale?

Ken, I am still interested!!!!

id like one

Great work.

Beautiful , I buy it.☝️

Man! 👏👏👏

I think the face needs work but the pose is good.. someone who is into 3D printing would probably be a better option to mass produce.

Looks super good. I'm probably way too late, but Id say that the chin/lower jaw is slightly too heavy and the smile slightly too wide. On a side note: every time you made reference to "the base" I thought you meant "the bass," so that was a bit confusing.

My advice: First make sure you have a written signed detailled agreement with the band concerning the path you want to follow. If I was in Rudy's shoes I would not be happy, because the control of these processes should be with the management of The Warning and in this case it seems it's not. You and I don't know what has been discussed on the merchandise strategy with maybe Lava on for example dolls. What you are doing could compromise their position. I'm sure you don't want to do that.

Almost forgot to ask ... how i can message you to send pics ...

Curious as to what went down with your Ale statue and why there's been no more updates?

20:35 yeah i like the idea with two face/head 1 serious and 1 smiley face and the sculpture is too big, must be expensive, I prefer a smaller size, like a regular action figure

I’d go for the more serious intense face. She does that more often. The smile on the sculpture seems somehow inaccurate.

Get it right and send it to China to make 1000s

Something is wrong with Ale's facial expression. Mouth/nose proportion does not match. Nose is too big, mouth too wide. Face should be a little bit more oval

I do not like it, it looks creepy. Cheers!
