[NECROMONGER MAX]

Looks very nice.

I really wish you and I had better cameras.

Don't we all... time to stop building & buying (figures) and invest in one, maybe?

 

[NECROMONGER MAX]

Thanks for the positive recommendations for my [old] blog... Nice work all on your 1:6 Max-es (or is it Maxs?)...

Here's my effort (three years in the making) and immediately came together with FULL METAL CUSTOMS' legbrace - I can heartily recommend their skills!
Also a shout out to Darren Carnall for the skin-job! And I'd better thank Scot Peterson for "Dog"...

Available for questions if you want part sources or names.

That looks amazing! Any chance you could put up some bigger pics? I would use a seamless body, or one with seamless arms, for the finishing touch.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Great job, Necromongo.

I wish Hot Toys would release Mad Max and a few other characters from the original trilogy.

 

[Wor-Gar]

NICE!!!!

I agree, bigger pictures please.

Thanks! I tend to avoid seamless LIKE THE PLAGUE as they have a habit of splitting or just looking like a dead/lifeless doll (when we're in the habit of making life-like figures)... they're pretty much useless and can really ruin some good looking accessories. At the minute any made do in my humble opinion.

Great job, Necromongo.

I wish Hot Toys would release Mad Max and a few other characters from the original trilogy.

Agreed! They're overdue

NICE!!!!

I agree, bigger pictures please.

Will try... took an age to upload those shown above... here's hoping

That looks fantastic. Are the gloves hands just regular ol? hands with fabric glued or are they cast and painted?

 

[NECROMONGER MAX]

The hands I think are from Bruce Banner... So they're 'regular', but they're Hot Toys.
The gloves are a really thin material. Think they came from a Russian figure?
Holes & slices and even lace, as per the movie.

 

[Wor-Gar]

THAT is one sweet Max! Bravo!

 

[NECROMONGER MAX]

THAT is one sweet Max! Bravo!

Thank you, sir!

He took an age to complete... A 3 year wait on the head alone! I don't think I've got the patience for another one in me.
On a separate note - I see a lot of fuss online about likenesses for Mel. My head (I mean this figure's) was $7 from off Ebay... The paintjob was as costly as FULLMETAL's legbrace... But totally worth it! A figure REALLY needs at least that to look lifelike.
The camera shows a little mis-match in skin tone that isn't there when in hand. No ideas? Maybe light bounces off different materials and only shows in photos?

Finally got round to Putting my Max on a Phicen body. Used a M32 body but the legs were too skinny, so I used some thigh pieces to thicken the legs.

Still surprised a company have not tried to make a MM figure.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Max looks great!!! Amazing job getting all of those little details done.

 

[Wor-Gar]

That looks very nice.

I wish I could finish my Max.

 

[elvis1976]

All those Max are looking awesome.

I finally work on that Iminime Riggs head I had for years. Removed the sculpted hair, painted the head and applied hair to the head.

Haven't painted the eyes yet

 

[punisher1974]

Wow Elvis that looks awesome. The weathering on the outfit looks spot on and the rehair looks great. Can't wait to see him finished.

 

[Wor-Gar]

That really is a nice sculpt.

 

[Mr.E]

Agreed, Iminime still holds the honor of nailing Gibson's likeness. I used a modified version of that sculpt for my Thunderdome Max.

 

[Wor-Gar]

It does look like a little older Max... but that head with that particular neck/body Seb is using really go well together.

 

[cpoll36]

That sculpt on Elvis's Max figure does look great! His stubble also looks spot on. Looking forward to seeing it with the eyes painted.
