You can also plug up the holes with some wood putty. Then stick the wrist posts in and wait until it's almost dry and give it a twist. Works pretty well.

Re: ELVIS1976 custom work and kitbash

Yes but the arms are kinda short.
At least for bane, so the arms needs to be a little bit longer.

Re: ELVIS1976 custom work and kitbash

holy cow... now there's a suitably badass 1/6 bane.

at first i thought he was wearing whiplash like coveralls... but it was actually batman's cape behind him

Exactly it's a preainted WWF maximum agression body.
I just used the upper body and replaced the lower parts with an ACE body for better articulation.

AWESOME LOOKING Seb!. I was planning on using one of those bodies for a bash, but didn't know how it looked, now I think it looks great!.

Did you mean painted?, if so, how did you prevent paint chipping when moving the joints ?

Wow Bane is awesome!! Worthy of spot on your seriously impressive comic batman lineup

haha yes painted.

I used sand paper on all the body and joints to remove the shine of it.
Then painted it using really thin layers of paint.
Now the body can move easily and the paint doesn't chip.

Interesting technique, and quite a lot of work!. Can't wait to see it finished.

Re: ELVIS1976 custom work and kitbash

Bane looks sick!!! Can't wait to see him finished, I think this is going to be a really fun figure

And a great body choice for Bane... I've thought that Bulky body would be perfect for him. And nice that those figures are usually under $20. Although I've never seen one w/o the wrist wrappings.

Do you have a picture of what the body looks like where you joined the Ace body? I figured that kind of mod was possible, but haven't seen it done.

Unfortunately i don't have a pics of the mod, i already cover it with bandages.
But it was fairly easy.
The lower parts are easily removable on those WWE bodies.
I just cut the lower parts of the ace body with a dremel and fiex it to the wwe body with some greenstuff.

Re: ELVIS1976 custom work and kitbash

Cool, sounds easy enough. And definitely a good idea to replace those stock legs; funny how good the upper body looks yet the legs are just awful

 

[elvis1976]

Re: ELVIS1976 custom work and kitbash

Yes exactly the leg are really odd.
Strange propotions, bad articulation and huge feet.

Re: ELVIS1976 custom work and kitbash

Looks great, Seb. I see what you mean about the short forearms. Forgot about that. Why don't you just use the max aggression hands? They're proportional and no further mods needed.

Re: ELVIS1976 custom work and kitbash

Seb the coat you used for Gambit looks like the one from Epoch’s Tekken 4 Kazuya Mishima. The coat is great but the rest of the figure is pretty bad. They came out a long time ago, but you can still find them on ebay and Amazon.
Great job on both the Gambit and the Bane. I really like the body mod on Bane.

I guess you meant Bane not Blane

Re: ELVIS1976 custom work and kitbash

Ha, your are right. I hate when I don't type what I am thinking. Got it corrected.

Ha awesome Dave did knew that about the coat!
