Asgardian Knight


Here is my last custom, just a repaint of a knight taken from a shop some months ago.
I like to have into the collection some general charcter as AIM, Hydra etc... I still was missing one Asgardian Knight, even if I made this for sales...

Hope you like it!

Psyklop returns! 2


Here is the progress of Psyklop.. legs finishing


profile view...
 rear view....
 belt and head assemble....
 neck assemble...
 hey you!
 costume...
 mmm....
 rear costume view...
 three balls...
 I'll give you a couple of arms...
 refining arms.... (don't care about fingers, they will refined after baking...)
and after baking.... it was impossible to remove the two screws without destroing the feet... Not so bad accident, cause in any case I had in my mind to give him a couple of millimeters extra lenght in his legs, so....). But in any case my suggestion is: do not use screws to fix it on the base, simply use iron wire!! Easier to remove.

Psyklop returns!


Ok, I started the second character to launch in the market. I wanted something new and unseen, so I choose one from my old "Want it" list. This is Psyklop.
Give me the time and you will find him in the new section opened today: For Sale.

Let's start from a rough iron wire armature
 Let's find a tool that can be used for fixing and working on... I made two drilled holes on this coffee cap, in order to use couple of screws to support the armature.
 Yeah, exactly like this...!
 It seems very good.... But forget it! You will see in the next pages that after baking the figure, the screws made impossible the extraction and destroyed the legs, that I had to reƬbuild.... No way! Much better to use iron wire... but this is the lesson learnt today!!
 Ok, now is time to prepare some Magic Sculp white in order to fix the parts pf the armature... Take two egual parts of paste and hardener
 Mix them some minutes
 yeah baby, this way!

 Just mix for a couple of minutes until the colour is omogeneous and white
 ready!
 Then let's use on the main junction in order to fix at least the main parts of the armature
 Then let's fix the white milliput also onto the screws and when hardened let's start to roughly model the figure.... better if considering proportions....

Red Sonja repainted and for sale


Just a old custom repainted, and now for sale.

Groot, Mantis and Bug: Guardian of the Galaxy


My dear all, here is where the story ends.

After years of customs made for my collection of Marvel Comics characters, the space in this home is over!
These are the last three customs I'm making for my collection, and if not the case of a bigger house... these will be the very last one!

In all this time I received a lot of requests of commission, but I always refused to work for hire.
And I confirm my choice and I'm happy to have the largest 90mm Marvel Comics collection of the World.

I think I'll manage a couple more, and try to sell. If successfull I'll see what to do with this authentical mania that infested me!!

But now, let me show you the last three arrived and a picture all together!

Last but not least: thanks you all for following me in such a long way!

Groot



Bug



Mantis



All together say "bye!!"

Marvel Comics Joystick, and Serpent Society member Anaconda

Joystick, courtesy of Wilipedia:
Virtually nothing is known of the past of Janice before she first appeared as Joystick, including the origin and nature of her apparent superhuman powers. When she was much younger, her father, a gambler, taught her his philosophy to 'always have a card to play'. She then used this philosophy to great advantage when she helped a mobster rob her father to save her own life. Later, she was a student at the University of Arizona, living a life she later considered to be a bore. After her sophomore year, something happened to change her, apparently resulting in her death; in her "new life," she became determined to live life on the edge, and began taking extreme risks. She then disappeared for three years before reappearing as Joystick.

Figurine has been made starting from a Ma.K. Hasegawa figure, by making changes with Magic Sculp White.




Anaconda, courtesy of Marvel.com:
A former steel worker at the Roxxon Oil Company, Blanche Sitznski was noticed by the executives and chosen to become a special agent in covert operations. Having been well-adjusted to villainy as a teacher at Taskmaster's Academy, Blanche accepted the offer and was bioengineered to have various serpentine features, such as the ability to elongate her limbs, breathe underwater, and a skeletal structure laced with adamantium. For her first mission, Roxxon president Hugh Jones sent Anaconda, along with three other snake-themed villains employed by the company called the Serpent Squad, to retrieve the mystical Serpent Crown. Though Anaconda and her teammates Black Mamba and Death Adder were defeated by the Thing and Triton, the mission proved to be a success when the group found the Serpent Crown and Sidewinder returned it to Hugh Jones.
with this figure (and the last one, Sidewinder) I completed my Serpent Society group!

Figurine has been made starting from a She Hulk Eaglemoss figure, by making changes with Magic Sculp White.
 



Gentlemen, please stay tuned, just the very last three figures and I'm done. End of Game.
I have them already in progress: Groot, Bug and Mantis.

And then? As said thusand of times there isn't any space left in my home for this figurines, almost 600 Marvel characters need a big space!
So the idea is to complete with the last three for my collection and then stop.

But.... I'm wondering about making one or two extra and try to sell them. For sure I'll not be for hire. Just doing a couple and trying to sell, if I will have success I'll continue, otherwise I'll stop definitely.
It is not for the money at all. It is because I can't imagine to stop my work suddenly... ehehehehe!

See you soon!!
