Ca calme

Presque fini ....

j'aime beaucoup

J'adore, mais le paintjob masque un peu le re-sculpt...

mimic a écrit:Ken are you really a beginner :it seems to me you are incredibly gifted to customize busts : the last one is awesome.

Just started about a month ago. I tried my hand at sculpting, but with two little ones and a long commute each day I found it difficult to make time for the repetition sculpting demands in order to get better. I did pick up enough to feel that I could at least pull off some simple conversions. I don't think I could do a character like...Stryfe, but simple costume changes are easy enough. For the tough ones, I will turn to John Ficchi (Vince-Vell) The hardest part is just summoning the courage to cut/grind a perfectly good bust.

My apologies for not answering questions sooner. I had forgotten about this thread and did not realize the customs had been posted here. Thank you, Jarvis. You are always looking out for me!

Fred - the primer I use is just an off the shelf sandable primer. The brand name is Krylon which is readily available in the US. I'm sure there are better primers (doesn't seem to work well with Alclad), but I am figuring things our as I go along.

Here are a couple of new projects I started tonight:

3-D Man



Ironclad





The white eyes were added with microsoft paint. It is helps me visualize where I am going with it.I plan to do all of the U-Foes, but I am still waiting for a few sacrificial busts to arrive.

Impressive works !!
In each time the quality is great .

Excellent le Baron, je le verrais bien chez moi à coté du sbire de l'Hydra. Encore un perso à rajouter dans ma liste de souhait...

Very nice works

Des avancées sur le 3D Man


Pour ceux qui l'aurait oublié , c'est lui

Bravo

Cela reste bien dommage, les résultats ci dessus le prouvent

It's better and better day after day Kenn

Thank you all for the kind words. They are far from perfect, but I hope they are in fact improving a bit with each attempt. At the end of the day, as long as I like they way they look on my shelves then I am happy.

I've already knocked a half a dozen off of my "wish list" and I hope to mark another couple of dozen off my list before it's all said and done. Between the wonderful "obscure" characters being produced by Chris, Jeff and Jess and my new found hobby, I'm starting to believe I might actually get all of the 60s, 70s and 80s characters I so love...eventually.

The next few projects I have lined up are:

Vector, X-Ray and Vapor from the U-Foes, Immortus, Captain Marvel II (Photon) and Count Nefaria. That list is fluid so it could always change. I have purchased over two dozen busts in the last month with particular projects in mind so really it could be anyone :-)

Génial le dernier

Ironclad " presque "fini

Thanks for keeping up with this thread, Lionel :-)

Here is Ironclad with his base painted:
