Zod, Bond and their friends...

[**16k**]

Here are my lastest customs....
Let's start with a simple kitbash, with what is IMHO the best Craig sculpt around. I've just finished painting him and putting him on a Sideshow body. Ladies and gentlemen, he's name is Bond, James Bond!

Now, let's pass on to good ol' Steve Austin, I know, I know, the paint is a bit shiny, but the flash didn't help...

Now, Simon says: KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!

And to finish our special course, how about an anime inspired Lady Snowblood?

That paintjob on Bond is the BEEZ - KNEES ! Outstanding work my friend, very awesome looking customs! You really brought Daniel out of that sculpt !

I love your bond and watching the new movie last night I kept seeing the most resemblance of Craig in that sculpt as the hair is all messed up and you got they eyes perfect. Great job!

Awesome figures! I'd definitely like to know more about your Steve Austin, what sculpt is that & where is the jogging suit from?

You really made that Longbow sculpt shine - very nice painting on the eyes -one of the best Craig Bonds I have seen.

Do you know they are also going to release a Matt Damon btw?
Would love to see what you can do with that one

Thanks man!
the first time I saw this HS, I was completely amazed! However, I thought that many had painted it wrong... It's so good that I'm glad you seem to like him!

Great stuff!

That Zod is awesome!

thanks Wor-Gar!
In fact, it's still a WIP. I still have to paint the chest so the color matches the face, add more realistic hands and make a stand that matches the one on my Superman!

Thanks Paulcarson!
As I daid in a previous post, that's my favorite Craig sculpt! I've seen other great ones around, but IMHO, the others are a bit too smooth! They don't give away the man's hard, determinate personnality quite as much as this one!

Thanks menlojames!
Glad you like him! As a fellow painter, I take it you know how hard the eyes are to paint, and this particular one was a real waking nightmare!

Awesome figures! I'd definitely like to know more about your Steve Austin, what sculpt is that & where is the jogging suit from?

Thank you Die!
Means a lot from somebody who was so inspirational in getting it done! I kept looking at your Steve's while doing mine and yours, as well as my vintage figs and the Bionic Joe's Steve Austin I got on Ebay were constantly present on my desk as I was doing it! The sculpt was made by me, as well as the jogging suit. The shoes were originally German boots that I tailored and modified. Now, if only they decided to release the 5 seasons on DVD, I'd be a happy man!

Hey Jan! thank you very much my friend!

Yes, I saw that in another thread and I can't wait to get it! Longbow studio's sculptor is probably the best 1/6 sculptor I've ever seen! I wish I only had a 10th of his talent! His features and skin textures are so lifelike that painting his heads is a real treat!

Hi 16K, maybe you can modify the heads to fit the new soldier story body..Zod would look more awesome without the neck cut articulation..it would give justice to your amazing self-tailored costumes..

[mrhatrulez]

Zod is Awesome! How did you make it? Mind giving a parts breakdown???
When is Non and Ursa coming????

That is sooooo cool, I am definitely honored! I'm very impressed with the fact that you made that sculpt & clothing, WOW! Your jogging suit look amazing, much better than the one I got from Project ARE. Seeing yours is now inspiring me to start a new one!

Good idea! Actually, when Triad releases it's Evo bodies, it may well end on one of these!

i really liked bond, zod and steve austin..

Thanks man! Glad you liked them!

Thank you mrhatrulez!
well, there isn't much to say unfortunately. I used a Dragon body, I have bendy hands coming to make it more realistic. The rest was homemade. I downloaded pictures of the actor and sculpted the head with Fimo. I used a very thin fabric to make the bodysuit and pleather for the boots, using basically the method I explained when I did my Superman... that's about it!
as for Non and Ursa, they are indeed in the back of my mind. Sculpting Non shouldn't be too difficult, finding a body will be (I have a spare 13" DCD body, but I want to keep it for a Conan custom). Ursa is going to be more difficult as sculpting girls head is trickier.
Anywa, they are not the next on my to do list. Coming (probably before Wew Year's Eve) is Doctor Strange!

Thanks Die, it is I who feel honored here! I as so impressed by your figs when I saw them! I love your Steve with a moustache! That's strange because, as a kid, I really hated Lee sporting one!
