back from summer break


Hallo everyone!
Hope you spent a good time in these crazy august just finishing.
 
My though goes to my sister and my friend Ash, I'm thinking of you both and hope with all my brains that you will be back soon on the right track of your lives, as you deserve.
 
I'm here just to post some wip on the next three creatures.


The picture is showing some room for improvement on Warbird specially. The picture shows the effect of a not scaled arm. According to my considerations below, I should threat the arm in a way that will prolong the forearm and reduce the arm.
This is what comes from the picture, but it leaves me interdict when I compare with the old picture taken when sculpting, where it is evident that the forearm appears congruous. Maybe a painting effect? Or simply a 2D picture effect? A gauge will give the answer.


Again to those friends and fans that are asking me if I'm selling my jobs, I would like to remind that I opened the "Marketplace" area for those (rare) customs I'm selling.
 
It remains my decision to not work for hire, I'll continue to produce only what... I like to produce ! :)
And the base rules are: continuity (so no variants) and diversity (no repetition).
 
I understand that the price of those in the Marketplace are much higher than the normal customs you can find all around, but I give a value also on the fact that for 5 years I haven't sold any and the few ones given away in the past were given for free. This leads to the fact that a "Skif custom" in your collection is and should be (and remain for years) a rarity and a "one and only" piece.
 
The aim of the blog remains to be simply a place where I share my experiences, where I show my mistakes and my successes and where I'll always try to incentivate you guys in doing your own customs, for your colection.
 
The aim of my collection still remains to be the largest Marvel Characters 90mm scale in the world, and believe me: IT IS!!

See you soon.

  1. Glad to see you continue to create. Your webpage inspired me to start customizing my own eaglemoss figures. Especially the tutorial section.
    If you are curious, you can see some of my creations at:

    Some are better than others. I like the way Mary Marvel, Vindicator, Master of the World and Wild Child turned out. Fire is also pretty neat.
    Anyway, feel free to take a peak. I'm going back to scroll through your site for more inspiration.
