Julien Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) I finally got him finished tonight in time for our model club. Figure is a chinese copy of the Horizon Vinyl Kit 1/6 scale. To be honest if I was not building this for a friend it might have gone in the bin. Quality was bad and some of the joins took a lot of miliput to get right. No matter what I did I could not get the sheild on his arm round. In the end the two sides were araldited together and clamped after being slit a little and the gaps repaired. Base is an old cheese board, masking the concentric circles was a mare, 5 pointed star is drawn onto thick platicard, carved out and painted gloss white. I am fairly pleased with the end result, not my best work but I think my friend will be happy. Just got to wait till he gets back from holiday before I surprise him.

thx6667 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Nice work - somehow a cheese board just seems so apt for the Cap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReccePhreak Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Really good job there, Julien! I have a few resin figures in my "to-do" stash, but I doubt I will ever attempt a vinyl figure. The one thing that is keeping me from starting on my resin figures is the lack of confidence in doing a good job on skin tones. And since my figures have a LOT of skin to paint (read: semi-nude women!), I want to do a good job on them. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 And since my figures have a LOT of skin to paint (read: semi-nude women!), Larry Ooh err larry! I must admit I have a couple of said same figures to do for the same guy I did this for and I am unsure about the skin tone! Its also amazing how anatomically correct they get these figures Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
