Death's Head 2nd costume WIP, yes?

Post by Hot Shot » Fri Jun 15, 2012 5:59 am

I've been working on this off and on for over a year now, and I'm at the point where I'm proud enough to tease you all.

I started with an Iron Man 2 line Titanium Man figure, and started replacing the gauntlets and boots with ones from the Neo-Classic Iron Man figure from the same line. I've used tons of epoxy and styrene so far, so this guy is turning out heavy.

And yes, the spikes are metal. I clipped bits off of a paper clip and sharpened them up. The hands and weapons will be fully interchangable, and the cape will be cloth.

I'm hoping to have the head completely built in a few weeks, and it's turned out so beautifully that I may have to look into casting it. :D

Looks good so far, HS. Excited to see the finished product.

Cruel to tease us, yes? :)
For now, it seems like IDW wants my money.

Update-July 1st:

I slacked up a bit in my efforts, but I've finished the head. I had to attach the tusks to proportion them, so I have no idea if it's still cast-able. Input would be appreciated.
