Statue Gentle Giant 18" Black Widow - Winter Soldier

[Darth Snoopy]

thnx for the feedback! i think i'll buy some different types of glue and acrylic pieces to go trough a trial and error process without damaging the original cubes

No problem.

I hope you find a good solution.

Nice!

And Hawkeye, right? Where's the love for Barton?

Cool setup.

I have three of those statues or will soon, and I still regret not buying the Hulk when Popcultcha was having their major glitch discount last year of 36%.

I've given in to the fact that nobody will make a 1:4 movie Hawkeye statue..... In the immortal words of Sheldon Cooper "Nobody ever says Help Hawkeye", he's just not popular enough

I'm also thinking about making vinyl stickers for the clear boxes that Black Widow stands on so they look like military boxes. Or maybe commission an artist to make some out of polystone.

Wow, you guys are really helpful! Thnx Kamandi for the video

Acrylic isn't glued in a conventional way, it is bonded. There is a chemical that re-activates the two surfaces making contact and allows them to become a single piece. If it's done wrong it will seriously hurt the appearance of your base.

See if there is a plastics wholesaler in Belguim. They will have experience in working with acrylic.

But, if all else fails, use the right stuff - Weld On. Don't reach for the crazy glue. This guy does a decent overview.

What was retail? $400? If so, what a deal! (and where did you get it from? )

A buddy sold it to me. Retail was 360 ish, I believe.

Awesome. Congrats! I've been thinking about getting this one but the high price tag is definitely a factor in me not pulling the string.

/threadjack UGGGGHHHHH is that Iron Studios Cap not one of the most perfect statues ever! great likeness, great pose, the sculpting is jaw-dropping, there is just nothing not to love about it!! Have to admit, I prefer these type statues to be fully sculpted, not with fabric. I missed Cap and I'm now rather regretting it.

Great display you have here, by the way. /end threadjack

Awesome setup, where did you get the base for Black Widow?

Thor is not bad, but he just looks out of place with the other 4, maybe it's the fabric or less then ideal pose. IMO he just doesn't quite fit in, but still he's not a bad place holder until someone makes a better Thor.

I made it. Use a broken iron studios captain base

Excellent job!

Great setup Kitana. I would like to do something similar. I have Iron Man and Thor, now I just need the other 3

Big question - when are we going to get a movie Hawkeye? Or is the XM or Sideshow comic version the best we'll get?
