Re-did Miller Bats a bit. Gave him a new emblem more accurate to the graphic novel. Now he needs a partner.

My aves is pure white?
The version you have looks water better and good to see detail as the white I have to prime first.
Still amazing stuff though.
 
Re: X's Customs & Original Sculpts ⨷ Lord Of Darkness (Legend) ⨷ DKR Bats Update

Sounds like you're using the "super white" version they put out, Jitsu. I just go with natural.

Sort of forgot about this one until I went back through my PB account to look for something else. I'll add it in here for posterity since these have more-or-less lead to a couple other armor-based projects I've got on the table.

Road Pig shoulder armor:

Very nice! Is that a Thrawn head? Ski was actually the one casting those up. I need to see if he has an extra set.
 
Re: X's Customs & Original Sculpts ⨷ Lord Of Darkness (Legend) ⨷ DKR Bats Update

Yep Thrawn head good eye my man!
 
Re: X's Customs & Original Sculpts ⨷ Lord Of Darkness (Legend) ⨷ DKR Bats Update

Its the cheek bones. :D I picked one up ages ago for what was to be a quick project, unfortunately its a massive headsculpt; too big for what I needed. I imagine it'll work well for the Pig though as he's a big boy. :lol
 
Re: X's Customs & Original Sculpts ⨷ Lord Of Darkness (Legend) ⨷ DKR Bats Update

Yeah I think its going on a Arnold body. Any luck on the Roadpig armor...

Nope. Pig pads are wrapped and done with. I believe Hasbro made football pads for some forgotten 12" Starting Lineup series though. I'll point him in that direction.

Great lineup there. I eventually need to get a comic styled Bats of some kind.

By the way, what is the sculpting material you use to modify bits like that Mad Hatter Mando?

Thanks, Sam. I use Aves Apoxie sculpt. Its a two part air dry clay with about a four hour work time. You can get it here:

Definitely go with the 1 lb. kit. The 1/4 lb. is a waste of money.



Tonight another Bat crept up on me. I'm supposed to be on a project hold but its hard to say "no" when just about everything else is already in the parts tub.:dunno :lol

This will be a realistic interpretation of Mignola's artwork from Gotham By Gaslight which takes place in 1889, 50 years before the Bat's first appearance.

TDKReturns Bats looks great. And Alfred is spot on!
 
Re: X's Customs & Original Sculpts ⨷ Lord Of Darkness (Legend) ⨷ DKR Bats Update

Thanks, 'Face. :duff They'll look even better once the little bird is standing in between them. :rock

Looks fantastic! I like it:) :clap:clap

Thanks, Tony. :duff


The first of my two Ghostbusters. The boots are still a stand-in pair until I find something better I like. Might go back and weather the jumpsuit at some point too, but for now he's done.:exactly:

Looks very realistic man! Is that a spencer sculpt?
 
Re: X's Customs & Original Sculpts ⨷ Lord Of Darkness ⨷ DKR Bats (Update) ⨷ Peter Ven

Thanks, Rahmier. That's the Snyder-Man sculpt.
 
Re: X's Customs & Original Sculpts ⨷ Lord Of Darkness ⨷ DKR Bats (Update) ⨷ Peter Ven

That is one of the best Ghostbusters figures I have seen. The head sculpt - fantastic. Head paint - superb. Outfit - amazing! It looks so high quality! I think it's the stitching.

Nailed it!!!

Looks great man... and where did you find a non-Matty suit that was long enough for Venkman? Usually the ones I've seen used don't pool around the ankles like this.

Thanks, man. Admittedly a lot of it is the jumpsuit. The Soldier Story suit is leaps and bounds better than the Mattel one which looks like something off a Barbie.

Its all illusion, GB. :lol I let out the seam at the bottom of the legs which gave me about a 1/4 of an inch more material to work with, and then I took about a 1/4 of an inch out of the shins.
