1/6 Spiderman by Horizon

Ok, I really want this kit now, looks great!

 

Yeah its a really dynamic pose and a good size at 1/9. I've made two repops of this kit before tackling this original (Spiderman 2099) (Scarlet Spider) and word to the wise if you can find one go for the original, the web detail is a nightmare on the repops, bit shallow and inconsistent and obviously the fits a bit off; but if its all you can find its still worth a crack at it.

 

Well this arrived in the post much to the great jealousy of my 5 year old daughter!

This will be my base, always find sourcing large round bases a pain and managed to find this and it was crazy cheap compared to some of the baking tins I was looking at.

Plan is to sit him on it with a large classic spiderman face symbol and around the sides I'm going to put a load of classic spidey covers.

 

Next up I'll grab my fine liners and do some webbing, which I'm sure will be in no way a tedious thing to do :mellow:

 

Thanks for looking, more soon :)

Cheers Andy! Yeah its definitely one of the best spiderman kits out there

 

I have started on the webbing, had a little delay because my 03 fine liner was a bit thick as was my 02 so I had to get an 01 and its working like a charm, fits nicely in the grooves (with a bit of wiggling and back and forthing!)

 

So I got one lot of foot webbing done

So next up I'll continue with the webbing, which even with the pen is a bit slow but at least its a simple process.

 

Thanks for looking, more soon :)

Well I scored one off ebay for 10 US dollars, not sure if its a recast or not as all the ones listed on ebay seem to vary between brown or grey vinyl. The one I got is grey and look pretty similar to yours, the guy had tons of good feedback too so it's just a matter of waiting and seeing what I get. My (as yet unmade) Horizon Robocop and ED 209 are both the grey vinyl and are fine, so I'm hoping I managed to pick up a good'un!

Still got my pen working overtime on spidey with the webbing, I'm getting there, both boots done and his torso and I went around the spider logo on his back

I have penned the spider on his chest but that will be painted again with a brush when its all done along with the eye borders, now its all the fiddly webbing around his neck arms hands and head left (sigh!) So more fine lining is next!

 

Thanks for looking, more soon :)

Okay update time! Spent a couple of evenings finishing off the webbing with my fine liner, so glad that task is finished!

And one other thing I did was to make a start sorting out a large gap that has been absolutely doing my head in! You cant really see it when he's posed so I was tempted to just leave it but I know its there so its time to sort it out so I can stop thinking about it.

Smoothed over some milliput so that I can just paint it over with some blue when its dry.

 

37678106772_6a1c64c806_c.jpg20171015_132224 by Nick Frost, on Flickr

 

And whilst that is drying I used some good old humbrol 33 black enamel paint on the eye borders and chest spider logo

37000432894_140fa8f503_c.jpg20171015_133131 by Nick Frost, on Flickr

 

So next up I'll paint over the milliput and the only other thing I want sort out is the dark blue of the back of his torso; its a bit dark compared to the legs so I'm going to remask the red and spray a little white on the raised detail and then more blue to even it out with the how the legs look and help give a highlighted look to the raised muscle detail.

Remasking is a bit of a pain but it really needs doing (again its doing my head in!)

 

Thanks for looking, more soon :)

Right! Im feeling good, I've managed to iron out the bits of this build that were really bugging me. 

 

First off, the blue. The main problem really was my airbrush was not spraying right so I've replaced the needle before respraying the blue to even out the slight difference between top and bottom.

 

So masked out his back

37722001612_2c6a0158c2_c.jpg20171016_134507 by Nick Frost, on Flickr

 

And after spraying you can see its much more blue now less of the red undercoat is showing through.

 

And then i did the same for the legs, the lighter bits on his behind and thighs are again where it sprayed a bit weak.

23900770478_a97ae9736a_c.jpg20171017_133508 by Nick Frost, on Flickr

 

And finally i also painted some enamel blue over the now dry milliput.

So yeah over the moon that i got all my issues resolved.

 

Next up I'll get his eyes painted, and I'll start designing the vinyl stickers for my base.

 

Thanks for looking, more soon :)

Thanks guys! :)

 

Had a bit if shed time today so i got his eyes sorted.

 

Started by covering his face in masking tape and then because of the deep lines was able to cut around with a scalpel, which is not a technique i use often but made the masking a breeze in this instance.

 

37121909633_96bd8e3acd_c.jpg20171019_131408 by Nick Frost, on Flickr

 

And after all the masking and remasking sorting out the blue im taking ZERO chances with over spray, so he's wrapped up good and tight!

 

37791923661_17b0e34ac8_c.jpg20171019_132244 by Nick Frost, on Flickr

 

I also kept the white paint a little on the thick side to be doubley sure it wont leak under the tape and to get good coverage over the red.

 

37082438134_a85716e9b9_c.jpg20171019_133000 by Nick Frost, on Flickr

 

So eyes done! He's actually starting to look like spiderman now.

So once the paints dry I'll matte coat the whole thing and start using pigment powders to add shading and touch up the webbing where necessary.

 

Thanks for looking, more soon :)

Im very happy with how it looks, next up I'll use some soot black pigment (sparingly!) to shade the blue and im going to mix a little of the black with some European dust to create a light grey to shade the eyes.

 

Thanks for looking, more soon :)

Okay, update!

 

All pigment work is done and sealed, used black smoke pigment (incorrectly called it black soot in the above post) to shade the blue and mixed a little of the black in with light dust pigment to make a light grey to lightly shade the edges of the eyes.

37238982394_f81d95c747_c.jpg20171026_133406 by Nick Frost, on Flickr

 

I've also started packing out the base with some blue insulation foam just to save on the amount of plaster of paris I need and to act as an anchor for it.

 

38089312716_6004e4c0f6_c.jpg20171101_133737 by Nick Frost, on Flickr

 

First pour and I quickly realised I dont have as much as I thought I did

 

26367641089_7f56c15900_c.jpg20171102_134832 by Nick Frost, on Flickr

 

So I've just bought some more today so Im going to get that done over the weekend. And I've also started the artwork for the top and sides which I'll print on vinyl and cut out using my print and cut machine at work, its going to be classic spidey face logo on top and I've picked some classic covers to to go round the sides.

38089309506_b72636b6a1_c.jpg20171102_095347 by Nick Frost, on Flickr

 

So next up I'll mix up some more plaster of paris and get the base filled so I can just get the primer on and spray it black ready for the vinyl stickers I'll add.

 

Thanks for looking, more soon :)

Cheers dude!

 

Update time, got my plaster mixed and whammed in, forgot to take a pic but after it dried I cut another round sheet of foamex board to seal it in.

 

37557841854_e77b79b756_c.jpg20171105_130547 by Nick Frost, on Flickr

 

And using my print and cut machine at work I cut got my stickers for the base sorted

 

38268671411_288599e10b_c.jpg20171108_105926 by Nick Frost, on Flickr

 

Which I primed and sprayed satin black

 

37557847264_1bc14fb8a9_c.jpg20171108_133715 by Nick Frost, on Flickr

 

And then I carefully stuck them on using some application tape

 

38235364156_d893fabda4_c.jpg20171109_132944 by Nick Frost, on Flickr

 

So it all pretty much there, I've drilled holes in spideys feet and later today I'll drill holes in the base, get him glued on and then it'll be final pics time :selfie:

 

Thanks for looking, more soon :)
