1/6 Premier Toys - The Marauder (Mad Max 2 Wez)

Much better. What kind of paint did you use for the red?

I think you need to touch up his eyebrows and beard slightly, as they have rubbed off a little.

Oh yeah I will have to see to that.
I just used some black felt tip in the base and some vallejo red on top, then combed it through.

What did you use to remove the staining, Shells? Marvellous job!

 

[kyekye]

Replaced body with Phicen M33, Added leather inlay padding under chest plate, added crossbow detail, added screw earring, face toning with pastel (+ Matt coating)
---FYI. The bike is old one I got from Ebay. Not the one they sell for this figure.

 

[Marine Boy]

They both look amazing!

Did anyone buy the bike?

 

[abake]

Looks awesome!
I would pad the stomach a bit though, to give the figure the right silhouette.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Great job, kyekye!

I passed on the bike, Marine Boy. It was pricey and not even accurate to his ride but I have to admit that kyekye's pics has me reconsidering or at least following his lead with an alternate version.

Thanks, something called Krud Kutter Graffiti Remover.

Welp , Finally got him. Took a day to get some time to open him up. I was not looking forward to it as much seeing some of the gripes and photos here…

Boy was I surprised.

This is a really good figure. Needs a few tweaks but for an old fine scale modeler like myself, it was a joy, and honestly I barely did anything. Most of what you see here was accomplished in about 2 hours ….

I can live with the body for now. Although a more stout frame will go a long way to getting this figure perfect. Honestly , half the time I put in was dealing with the double straps on the leg and knee pads , and the arrows.

The feathers took hardly any time, and the mohawk was shaped in about 20 minutes. I am still working on the hair a bit, but happy to report no staining issue on mine. I have been using cuticle scissors to trim the feather more and get rid of wispy hair. Hes got alot of extra hair at the base of the skull, but I have a feeling its to keep the shape of the mohawk.

A few more, and the “money” shot of course…

How much trouble did the body swap give you?

I wonder about squeezing the legs onto a phicen (or any other body)

and those straps….

Putting on tight leather pants was basically this. LOL!

They eventually fitted in.
All the straps were OK with tweezers.

 

[Random_Retard]

Just a little bit of work but now I'm really starting to like this guy...

And I was seriously considering canceling it for a while... Now I'm so glad I didn't

 

[FlyAndFight]

Great looking figures, guys.

Figure is not bad straight out of the box and with just a few tweaks, can really elevate it further.

Cool, looks like you got the feathers looking pretty good.

Yeah I went through that experience with getting the leather pants on the Phicen body, I had to take a breather halfway through let me tell you. I was super worried too that I'd rip the damn things

I am getting a lighter skinned rubber body, so I got to go through all the rigmarole again.

…and mine is in limbo with Canada customs…. Grrrrrr

Yeah Ive had a few figs over the years held up the the Customs dudes, pain in the ball bags for sure.

Thank you!
Had to glue them down to stay like this. And I removed the biggest ones, since they were way too stiff to stay down.

first thing you guys should do after disassembling is apply aerospace 303 on the pleathers. or meguire hyper dressing.
