1/6 Hot Toys-MMS 241-Captain America:TWS-Winter Soldier 1/6th Scale Collectible Figure

It's super easy, all I did was dry brush black on with a wide brush (about 1/2" wide) in an outward pattern from the center. Then sprayed it with matte sealant to take away the shine.

If you don't know what dry brushing is, you basically dip your brush into the paint, and then wipe off almost all of the paint on a paper towel so there is hardly any left. Then lightly brush on the shield. Just be patient and take your time, only took me 10 minutes to do this.

Thanks, Shawn! I'll give it a try

I really need someone to help me do that BD on my spare electroplate shield (or step-by-step instructions, ).
Looks awesome, Shawn! We need to get you a kid-size figure body to slap Star-Lord's head on and you can recreate Hooked on a Feeling lip-sync 1/6 scale version

LOL the good news is that lip sync video won me a prize on Twitter. Bad news is, it's the Sideshow Superman figure that everyone hates so much.

But, if I had a miniaturized Star Lord figure, then I'd have to make a James Gunn 1/6 figure to go with it.

That's a Christmas-card worthy pic, man! Awesome costume!

 

[dw316]

Awesome!

Thanks. It's too bad you can't see my Son's face in the photo. But the cool thing is that photo has been used as the header image in countless news articles about Guardians of the Galaxy, like this one.

Haha, interesting, I think I've seen a similar picture (or same one) from a different site. That's awesome!
I think I'm liking the masked sculpt a bit more....

 

[Bjjer]

Im using the masked sculpt also, just not without the goggles. Id probably use the unmasked one if it didn't have the paint around the eyes.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Very nice, dw!

It looks like there's a midget Bucky holding the shield in the first pic, the unmasked sculpt

 

[dw316]

Thanks, guys

hahahaha that caught my eye too. I thought it was zombie Bucky, coming up out of the ground.

Hey guys just got this from my beautiful wife this christmas and i cant believe how great this figure turned out. The detail on him is amazing. All the accessories and extra head sculpt make this so worth the price. I havent seen the falcon figure in hand yet but if you guys grab any one figure from this movie this is the one. Hes gonna be well sought after once he finally sells out. This has become a new favorite in the collection. Merry christmas!

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Congrats on the get and Merry Christmas, buddy!

Yep. He is an awsome fig. I agree that the weapons, and heads make it well worth it. Plan on using masked sculpt to make a second fig with a jacket, for a more stealth like version.

I don't yet have Bucky but I was also thinking of using the 2nd sculpt (along with other 2nd hand parts) to make his look from his first appearance in the movie where his metal arm is covered.

this one right

and heres another alternate look from concept art

the same artist also did an alternate look fro falcon, which would be a lot better for the figure because no unsightly arm joints

Yep! As close to that look as I can get.

Did some small experiments on chroming on the arm; seems like a success but I don't really like that slight yellow cast.

Did you not paint the whole arm black first before applying the chrome paint? That could be why.
