Just something fun to let you guys know I'm still alive. New customs are going to go up this week and I'll hopefully finish up my big project to drop soon. That last figure for it is a doozy. Anyway, here's Dutch dealing with extraterrestrial relations, which is a big part of being in the Star Brigade.

Well, at least these aliens don't bleed acid.

Back again, this time to show off some of the work that went into my Luke Talbot figure.

Image

I used my process i went over previously to sculpt various bits of fur and even tattered pants onto the figure I put together. Here you can see the overall figure after the sculpting.

Image

Now here's a close-up look at the chest, stomach, arm, and facial fur I sculpted. I mean, he's a werewolf guy, so he needed fur. Sadly, not much in the way of werewolf figures in the 1/18 scale. There's the McFarlane Monsters one and the wolf guy from Chronicles of Narnia, neither of which would work for Luke. So I bit the bullet and got to sculpting as best I could.

Image

Initially I was just going to give him short pants, but after staring at the Luke Talbot figure from the original toyline, I knew that wouldn't be enough. He needed ripped up pants to really highlight his whole thing. Thus, I found myself sculpting that too. All in all, this figure was an adventure to make and a testament to what can be done with blue poster mounting stuff and super glue.

The sculpting on Luke is what got my vote. I thought he looked really good with the vest on or off because of it.

Thanks. I'm not sure if I can really pull off facial features or anything advanced, but hair and minor details seem to work great with this stuff. i still need to take some pics of Black Cat now that she's painted up.

I'm digging the sculpting as well. Though the paintwork in Talbot put it over the top.

Did I tell you that I've used this technique now a couple times myself? When in a time crunch and not really feeling like mixing up some sculpt. It works nice.

I need to give it a shot, you're getting great results with that technique.

Glad you're having good luck with it, Bindy. I've gotten a lot better at painting, which makes me happy. When I first started this hobby I was afraid of painting for fear of messing up. Now I'm experimenting a lot more and it feels good to take chances.

Dan, the important thing I've learned about using this method is to be patient and to blow on it a lot. It help make the glue sink into the details of the sculpted area. It's also important to not glue your hand to the figure, but I think we've all been there by now. I've lost a lot of surface skin because of glue.

Hey, I know it's been forever since I've posted anything, but life has been rough. Let's just say that caring for someone with dementia is not the most conducive environment to creative endeavours. But I do still work on stuff and I've been finishing a lot of old projects (and some new ones) so I'll be posting new stuff soon. In the meantime, here's a peek at some WIPs. Feel free to try guessing who any of them will be. ;-)

2DARK2C: The box contains what's left of Elder Maxon's decency, which he threw away a long time ago. (I play too much Fallout)

pluv: Just wait until they're done, then you'll see how fun they really are. Four of them are part of a big project I've been working on for ages.

While I'm waiting on some things to come in for my Halloween themed customs, here's a peek at a project I've been working on. Basically, a teaser and nothing more. Feel free to speculate.

Image

I'll be posting some finished works this week, I just have to find the time and energy to take proper photos.

2DARK2C: Not to spoil anything, but Waldo is gonna pop up with a totally different group. A veritable team of adventurers, if you catch my drift.
