Re: Maglor’s Menagerie & Figure Photography

I like your Batman shoot. He's the perfect character when working with shadows. That's part of his theme.

Fantastic figure! :)

What makes this a 2.0?

  • Battle Damaged head sculpt and paint-job.
  • New boots.
  • New vest with pockets
  • New ax with more detail

Really LOVE the new paint-up (Skiman rules! :rock) and IKE-Con's detail work on the ax is fantastic.

The reason this is a "Work In Progress" is all thanks to the vest. The zipper is broken and I have yet to figure our what to do about it. The teeth are all clogged with super glue and I don't know if I'll be able to clean them enough to get them to catch. I could glue the zipper together, but then I would have a stiff immovable line up the front of the vest. If I can't get it to close normally, I will most likely sew the zipper shut, which will keep it flexible, while also leaving the option to undo it for removal.

Damn, if not for the one arm joint showing, at first glance he looks
like he's real.

As far as the vest. I think with a small exacto knife you could clean out around the zipper teeth one by one.
For the record, I'm sewing mine up..:) I don't think there would be a reason for the vest to ever need to come off.
But that's just me.

He looks great though. Are the eye's painted slightly looking up?
I didn't notice that before. It lends to the whole Van Zan character.
Gives him a little swagger!

:clap :clap
 
Re: Maglor’s Menagerie & Figure Photography

That Van Zan is such an excellent custom, Mag!!

Great shots of him and Bats :clap
 
Re: Maglor’s Menagerie & Figure Photography

Must compliment about the way you workaround and try to get the best out of your figures!

Thank you. That's definitely my goal. :)

Thanks a lot for the tips Mag! All my pics wind up looking like toys. I am always looking to take pics that don't look like figures. Thanks again!

You're welcome! I don't have much to offer, but I hope it helps!


Inspiring shots, Mag :)

Fantastic figure!

I like that set-up with the poster. Very cool.

Thanks for the comments. Working on the teeth one by one with an exacto is the first thing I tried actually. It might be possible to clean it up enough that way, but I will most likely just sew it as well.

Indeed. I didn't ask for the eyes up, but it really calls the character to mind.
