Sgt.Squarehead Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Have you considered adding texture to his outfit.....Will Vale did some amazing work on his Judge Anderson figure that might be of interest: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234951736-judge-anderson-and-iriachani/page-3?hl=+judge%20+anderson (Post #49 onwards).

Hunter Rose Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 Yeah that was a really cool effect. Wont be doing that for spidey though, want the classic comic book look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Vale Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Ooh, the red looks great! I accidentally went to the first page of this thread thinking it was the last, and you were talking about putty and sanding and my heart fell rather.

Hunter Rose Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 Thanks Will. Yeah dont worry, the nightmare is over!! I know the surface isn't 100% perfect but I just hit a point where I though "that will do" and cracked out the paint 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpopandchips Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I would have cracked long before you did, nice to see some colour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S5 modeller Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Beautiful shade of red there hunter. What paint is it? Won't be too long before you're finished. Can't wait to see the other colours added. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Rose Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 Thanks guys, and the red is good old Tamiya flat red 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Rose Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 Aaaand now its good old rattle can! Had a go at putting my masks down but the flat red is very flat and they didn't want to stick so i rattle canned on some gloss red. Then i cut some more masks. For these I created vector artwork in Illustrator then used a vinyl cutter to cut them, here they are weeded and laid up on application tape. I got the chest one on, this is actually the second one after a tweak to the size and a bit of warping to help it look right in his crouched position. I need to re do the face as its not quite right, so thats what I'll do next and also mask out the arm stripes. Thanks for looking, more soon 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricLightAndy Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Wow, This is looking great, you have the patience of an adult being constantly kicked in the shin by a child in public, having built some of these re-casts myself, I know the battles you have fought in terms of fit and the results you are achieving are fantastic, my spidey sense is tingling with the notion that this is going to be a stunner of a build! looking forward to more.

Hunter Rose Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 Managed to get the face masked after some tweaking, and I've made a start on the arm stripes. I'll rough out the other arm stripe then neaten out the curves next. Thanks for looking, more soon 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spruecutter96 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 This is some very impressive work! Thanks for sharing with us. I have bought several of the Thai re-casts off E-Bay recently and know exactly what you mean about the quality / lack of. I have a 1/9th scale Medusa the Gorgon with very poorly-fitting tail sections that you could put your thumb-tip in the gaps. She'll be a true "filler queen", but she should be well worth all the effort once she's painted up. I recently bought a Spidey 2099 made by Horizon, but this one is in a much more upright pose, holding his arms in the air. I got him as a companion to my Horizon Venom, but I think he much look a wee bit dull next to his naughty cousin. We'll wait and see on that one. Cheers. Chris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Rose Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 Thanks Chris! I know the horizon one, not a fan of the pose, the venom is very cool though. I like the sound of your gorgon kit, i didn't even know they did a model of it, clash of the titans is one of my favourite films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhatter Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Spider man never looked so good! I really like those tribal styled masks - they look the part alright! From your pictures, it's hard to see any kind of rework under the paint - so mission accomplished there Are you going to go for the blue or something different. I guess it wouldn't be Spidey if it's not blue. Really looking forward tot he next instalment Si 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So im going to blast him with dark blue then a top down mid blue to add highlights, which I'll further highlight with a light blue. Nice! Those masks are the berries! Cheers Tolga, thats the benefit of having a vinyl cutter at work!
