NECA 1/4 Superman man Of Steel

[wolverenz]

So I finally finished my repaint on this badboy, this is my first time repainting a human figure. I gotta say, its kinda complicated than I thought. Anyways, here are the pictures.

*these images are unedited, my laptop has a broken screen, so can't edit them.
Sorry if some of them are over exposed.

Nice work you have polished a turd,no it was not that bad to begin with but you have made a great improvement on it. That blue is great you realy made a good job of it.

Thats a very nice looking blue. Which paint did you use for it? The red is also amazing, it makes the symbol pop out.

Thanks man. I appreciate the comment.

I used a Tamiya Metallics and Model Master paints.

Dear god that sculpt is horrific!! The nose looks like Coco Austin bending over and the left eye has a cheeseburger for an eye lid. There's no excuse for something so bad, i don't care how cheap it is for it's scale.

What is up with the nose? Looks like Neca might have rushed this one through...still consider buying this...not sure

The neca one has gigantic "asscheek" protrusions at the tip that Henry Cavill doesn't have on his.

That new paint job is pretty good, now it doesn't look like plastic and it hides the articulations a lot better, plus that's one nice looking blue, congrats!

Can't be a butt, I see two holes! Now I'd like to see someone photoshop a thong on that!

My repaint. Still needs a few touch ups but it's finished. I couldn't get a true to life pic for anything so the colors are a little on the bright side.

^ That shield paint job is pretty spot on, the colors are just right to look at, congrats!

 

[G-M53]

Thanks pally.

Overall it's a little darker than the pics show. The blue is fairly close to the actual costume but I made the Shield a little more colorful cuz the cape is so bright. I tried it darker with more burgundy but it just looked blah so I spruced it up. Also, the negative spaces are a nice gold and not as yellow as the pics make it out to be.

Here's my 2nd 1/4 Neca figure, Man of Steel with just some minor painting touchup.

Damn nice work!

Saw this today while at DCC and while not as bad as I thought he was, (quite nice actually) I just couldn't pull trigger even at just $60

He looks like LEGO. Terrible figure. Really wonder what their Dutch will turn out like at this scale. Should be better than this I think but NECA paintjobs at larger scales only benefit in being neater - they are no more complex than at the smaller scale to my eyes.

If the 89 keaton turns out like this it will be a sad day

 

[G-M53]

I think the Keaton Batman will turn out great. It's 90% straight black after all.

I hope Thor and the Hulk turn out better. The airbrushing on Superman was terriballs.

 

[Konn]

Don't get me wrong I own this figure. I love it and hate it at the same time. Damn thing does not like to stand and my paint job was very lacking on it. Plus mine looks a like he got hit in the face with a shovel and has a wonkey eye.

I actually think the Keaton Batman will be awesome. The black hides the joints, and not much paint across the board. The colors will help hide any flaws. I am excited for it. This Superman however.... easy pass.
