 MAJOR DUTCH SCHAEFER   (PREDATOR)   3-3/4 inch

I have always wanted to do a Dutch figure but couldn't decide on which version I wanted then I watched Predator again and after watching it decided on the muddy version as I've never seen it done in 3-3/4" scale.

RECIPE

Dutch - The upper body is a Build n Brwal figure the lower legs and head are from a GI-Joe figure. The spear is made from thin stick and the blade on the spear is from a GI-Joe figure and was attached with super glue and then tied off using string.

The bow was also made using thin stick and string was again used, the mud was done by mixing plaster of paris and PVA glue and then paint was added to get the colour. The plaster once mixed with both the paint and glue becomes tacky and gives the appearance of smeared on mud.

The Base - is just an old base from another dio that I use that I keep in the cupboard.

DOC SAVAGE   3-3/4 inch

While looking for another 3-3/4" hero to do I got the inspiration to do Doc from Actorjez over at the Fwoosh Forum  he does such awesome figures and the way he presents them is excellent so go have a look via the link.

RECIPE

Doc Savage - is a combo of the lower legs from a young Indy from TLC, boots from a SW figure, upper body from a Build N Brawl figure and head from a GI Joe figure. The belt is from the Hasbro Indy figure line with the holster and whip holder cut off, the shirt was made using an old hanky. Once put together the figure was painted and weathered using Vallejo and GW paints.

The Base - is just an old base from another dio that I use that I keep in the cupboard.

THE PHANTOM  THE GOST WHO WALKS  3-3/4 inch

The other day I was fixing up my web site and saw the 6 inch Phantom figure I did back in 2006 and thought that I would make him again in 3-3/4".

RECIPE

The Phantom - is a combo of a Marvel Universe Bullseye Body, boots from a Star Wars figure, hands from a Indiana Jones figure and the head is a Marvel Universe Bullseye with the face cut off and replaced with the front half of the face from a Star Wars AT-ST pilot.

Once the parts for the head were glued together I use GW greenstuff to putty the seams up and once dry it was sanded down. The mask is a piece of thin pleather as is the belt and holsters. The pistols are from some old GI Joes figures and the skull buckle and skull rings are from some old GW 40k pieces I just cut off and glued inplace.

The Phantom's wolf (Devil) is from a GI Joe figure and as with the figure it was painted and weathered using Vallejo and GW paints.

The Base - is just an old base that I use that I keep in the cupboard.

BLADE RUNNER  7 inch

When I first got the Disney 7" Indy Figure I was wondering what other Ford characters I could make, and while looking thru a DVD catalogue I saw the special edition Blade runner DVD and then I knew straight away I was going to make Rick Deckard next.

RECIPE

Figure - The figure is the Disney figure I removed his jacket so I could add a new one and the head has had some sculpty clay added to the hair and reshaped.

Clothing - The shirt was trimmed and sanded down and sculpty clay was used to make a new collar, the shirt was then repainted and a tie was add using some left over pleather. The inner coat is some old cloth I had lying around cut to size and glued in place, The main jacket is from Marvels Gambit I cut of the sleeves and reapainted it.

Belt, Holster & Pistol - the belt is old rubber strip I have in the bits box, the buckle is a piece of plastic cut to size and shape. The holster is made from left over leather and the pistol is made from the Disney Indy webley and parts from Artasylums Enterprise pistols.

THE MUMMY  7 inch  (3rd Place Figurerealm Contest)

When I started making The Mummy I wanted to give him the old movie style feel to him once the figure was completed I painted him using GW and Vallejo paints.

RECIPE

Body - The body is a Spike figure from the Angel action figures series, the bandages is material I got from a material store and I cut it into strips then started wrapping it around the figure till I got the desired look.

Sarcophagus - The sarcophagus I got from the Disney Indiana Jones figure I pulled out the mummy that was inside and and gave it a wash of matt black to tone the gold and so that you can see the hieroglyths better.

SKY CAPTAIN and the WORLD of TOMORROW 6 inch

When I started making Sky Captain I wanted the figure to have that herioc feel of the movie yet still add my own style to him so I decided to give him a little ruggerness by giving the uniform a dirtier look and given the face an unshaven look. The uniform was the hardest thing to make as it is actual cloth and also I wanted again the feel of the movie in it but also wanted that WW2 feel to it as well.

Once all the parts were made or taken from the bits box the figure, clothing and equipment were painted with Reaper Miniatures and Vallejo paints, There was a lot of dry brushing and wash's to get the desired look and feel to this character and I'm really pleased with the way he turned out.

RECIPE

Legs - The Punisher from the movie.

Head and gloves - Fantastic 4's Mr Fantastic from the movie.

Boots - Marvel legends The Punisher.
