Absolutely stunning. JC really makes this sculpt pop. I can’t wait to see more copies direct from Nikos. Been waiting for my friend to take photos of his. It’s crazy that I watched him sculpt this in 3 hours and it has me debating whether I should purchase it over the Castle. His talent is something most don’t truly appreciate
Got a blank for conversion but I’m debating purchasing a Shape78 straight up from Nikos with his finishing. A 24.5’ fits perfectly, just have had so many masks claim to be 24.5’ and they were closer to 24’. I hope one day he makes the 98 proto available in a larger size! My JC Shat is 25’ and I actually have a bit of extra room, I just like knowing I can wear it if need be!
Name of the thread was “POTD Friday, March 8, 2019” IT looks like it might be that raffle mask, just stuffed Warlock style. I want a JC finished mask so bad but 4 or 5 years is such a long time. Eventually, one of these will come up on Ebay hopefully. And no, I didn’t get mine yet. I think you ordered yours before me. My order was placed Feb. 16th.
If you wish to get a mask finished by JC I’d get on the list ASAP. The wait is frustrating but you already have an H1 grail on the way to hold you over. Plus, 4 years from now we will have different sculpts to choose from. JC finished masks pop up from time to time, but they are usually quite pricey. I got an offer of $2,000 for my JC #1 Shat but for me the sentimental value was worth more than the mask.
I look forward to seeing your Shape78 when it arrives! People don’t give Nikos enough credit for how truly talented he is. His finishing work will leave you happily surprised
You have a point. Without having to pay up front, I might as well get in queue. Also, money wise… between 200 and 300 for a Nikos sculpt and 200 for the JC finishing is not a lot for a NAG/JC grail. You convinced me!

I ordered mine on January 18th, still haven’t heard from Nikos since february 18th when he told me that the pull was ready, I’m gonna write him again on the 18th when 2 months have passed, anybody placed the order earlier than me? cause there’s a chance I’m first in line here and possibly the first to receive a copy finished by Nikos, also considering that I’m in the EU too and not far from Greece. Hopefully I’ll hear from some news during the week.
Has anyone ever setup a payment plan with niko? Like 150 down to get it started then like 75 a week… I want to get one started but don’t have 400 to spend on a mask and am trying to get it near my birthday in the summer. Thanks
