I'm doing some works in these days, but the idea is to complete a bunch of sculpts and then pass to painting. I think 7-8 can be enough and then go for paint... But I'm still working on number 6..... it will take some time, but I didn't want to leave you without a couple of snapshots before my week of vacation from work (I really needed that!!)

I'm not going to mention who they will become at the end, and I think that only really few are easy to recognize... have fun!

Unicorn Milos Masaryk


Probably I've been negative for today.... Just finished a new one!! Unicorn!

Courtesy of Wikipedia:
Milos Masaryk was a Soviet intelligence agent assigned to track down the original Crimson Dynamo, who defects to America after being tricked by Iron Man. Wearing technology designed by the Dynamo, Masaryk gives himself the alias the "Unicorn" and battles Iron Man after Iron Man catches him spying on Stark Industries. Although Iron Man crashes the Unicorn's plane, the villain manages to escape.
The Unicorn was among the villains affected by Doctor Doom's high-frequency emotion charger. As a result, the Unicorn went to the Baxter Building to attack the Fantastic Four at the wedding of Reed Richards and Susan Storm. He once fought Iron Man and was defeated with one punch. He teamed with Beetle, Electro, Mandarin, and the Melter against Cyclops and Iceman, but the resultant combination of their power blasts knocked them all out, and they were sent back to the immediate past by Reed Richards with no memory of attack.
The Unicorn later allies himself with Count Nefaria for financial reasons, and participates in Nefaria's attack on Washington, D.C., during which he trapped it in a forcefield he could prevent the flow of air through, being sent to capture Cyclops, which he does with help from the Eel defeating Iceman, but he is stopped by the X-Men. He then undergoes experimental conditioning to augment his powers. With increased strength, he battles Iron Man once more after attempting to extort money from the U.S. Congress, but he is again defeated. The process leaves the Unicorn with "accelerated cellular deterioration", and he is taunted with a cure by the Red Ghost in exchange for help against Iron Man. However, once it becomes evident that the Red Ghost has lied, the Unicorn aids Iron Man and later escapes. He gives up on the Red Ghost after he failed to find a cure.
The master villain, the Mandarin, makes a similar promise to the Unicorn and deploys him against Iron Man. On two more separate occasions, Unicorn's battle with Iron Man ends in Unicorn's defeat. In the first instance, the Mandarin's consciousness becomes entrapped in the Unicorn's body, but the Mandarin's mind is later freed from the Unicorn's body. Using the alias "The Other", the Titanium Man uses the Unicorn against Iron Man who is finally able to capture Masaryk. In a dramatic turn, the very moment of his capture sees Masaryk slip into a life-threatening coma. Iron Man takes Masaryk to the Avengers Mansion where teammate Yellowjacket wakes Masaryk and cures him of his debilitating disease. The process has the result of driving Masaryk insane, and a disorientated Unicorn inadvertently activates the hidden robot Arsenal. The Unicorn is stunned by the robot — which Iron Man drives off — and then placed in stasis pending a cure for his mental illness.
Months later, Masaryk is freed when a fire breaks out at Stark Enterprises. He resumes the identity of the Unicorn and finds and attacks Iron Man once again. Still insane, the Unicorn refuses to believe that "The Other" was a lie, and decides to walk back to the Soviet Union via the ocean to find him. A severely weakened Iron Man is powerless to stop him and can only watch as the Unicorn apparently drowns in the Atlantic Ocean.
The Unicorn is later revived by the entity the Beyonder to fight with a new version of the Lethal Legion. The Unicorn is given a true third eye on a stalk with energy projection capabilities in lieu of a suit.
During the Infinity storyline, Unicorn is among the villains recruited by Spymaster to help him attack the almost-defenseless Stark Tower.

Work: Just a resin copy of Green Lantern Eaglemoss with few changes mainly in green Milliput.
Paints: Citadel and Matts Colors. Washes: Citadel.

Hope you like it!




Next steps


Nothing to show today, but I was doing a check around the house to find possible solutions to again extend my collection. But I have to say definitely there is not!

So here is the final list of characters that I'm considering as the last extension. After these, every character I'll be doing should leave this house or be a big issue in terms of space! Eheheheh!

So far, here is the last forecasted extension:

345-Unicorn (already in painting shop....)
346-A-Bomb
347-Zeladane
348-Sidewinder
349-Princess Python
350-Orka
351-Groot
352-Joystick
353-Kimura
354-Bug
355-Mantis
356-Lady Punisher
Well, probably many of them are "must have" for this collection, probably others don't. I'm thinking about Lady Punisher or Kimura and Joystick. Hey please don't mention Zeladane: she's sweet and sexy enough to be a "must have, here and now!"

Is that I like the way Kimura can be created starting from her nemesys X-23 Eaglemoss figure, and I just have a resin copy of her...

Joystick and Lady punisher are pretty unknown that make me imagine a cover without interpretation limits. You probably know what I mean.

Stay tuned, Unicorn is quite close to be issued.
