Looking very nice, I bet he is going to look totally amazing once you have worked you painting magic on him.

Wow hunter, he's looking stunning.

What red did you use for the main body colour?

 

Thanks Matt! Its actually just a scarlet red from a cheap own brand rattle can I grabbed from Wilko

Okay time for an update!

 

I gave the red buckle detail a coat of clear red to make it nice and glossy and a different red to his costume.

Then it was time to make a start on planning out the base, last time I did one of these Spiderman models as Spiderman 2099

I gave it a round base and thats my usual thinking, but for the sake of ease and mostly to be different I thought about a triangular one as it suits his pose better. So I measured the gaps between his feet and hands, did a rough triangle which I sat him on and roughed out the shape which I cut out in foamex board.

And then I made a start on shading the metalic bits, just use black smoke pigment for this, brushed into the gaps and then lightly blended towards the middle of each segment.

I did make a start on shading his body using graveyard dirt on the bits where I wanted to add shadow.

And I used a file to smooth over the edges and round the corners of my base.

Then after I cut a mask for his chest logo at work, I stuck it on and built up the tape around it so no overspray goes anywhere, and carefully airbrushed some black over.

Was actually shocked how well it came out as it doesn't look it but it was a nightmare trying to get the sticky vinyl mask in position!

 

Then I put down some more pigments, this time swithching to old rust as I thought it was bit more subtle and loooked better on the red.

Right so he's nearly there, I have sprayed the base black now too, so today hopefully should just be a matter of fixing the pigments and getting him stuck on the base. So this will be the last update before it goes in the RFI section, but I'm going on holiday at the weekend for a week; so I may not get this posted till after that.

 

Thanks for looking, more soon

The shading you've added, Hunter, looks brilliant. The base shape is great too, certainly fits with the dynamic pose of the figure. Nice work on the chest logo, worked out exceptionally well, I think.
