Nice job! The HS somehow reminds me of Bogey.

You are professional customizer. I noticed not only you did great HS and arms sculpture, but also you pay attention to details like how clothes hang on body. Welcome aboard!

 

[grizzerr]

Nice intro!! Welcome to the board!!

 

[uramegak]

Seriously subtle details, man!

 

[jignacio_2k]

This is very nice. Pretty impressive.:clap

 

[crowinghorse]

holy crap - amazing detail and work - welcome to the boards and great introduction!

 

[otawerks]

Whaow..Top notch... A True custom IMHO
love the the Attitude, HS, chili pepper charm, and all rest, it really screams "CHARACTER"
I can almost hear the 1940's Brooklyn accent
I'm not yet to familiar with the Gods of 1/6 scale, but figurine-wise a few names pop up in my mind like Bill Horan, Lattore, Rosengrant...
Brava!!! Hope to see more of your art soon...
BTW was the face painted with Oils?

Weathering and details are top shelf! Great work, and welcome aboard vettius64.

Very very cool figure!

I recognise you from the new 1:6 magazine. Glad to have you with us.

 

[vettius64]

Thanks for your kind words!

I use only acrylic base (with airbrush) and crayons in dust for the shades

 

[Just Clay]

Brilliant work. You sir, are a true artist. Nicely done.

[Broadshore]

Wow! Welcome aboard and simply Wow.

 

[enojado]

what body did you use? is he poseable?

 

[rogerbee]

Very nice,

Kaustik Plastik should hire you, you'd be a great addition to their talented team.

CHEERS!

EDIT:

Doh! Didn't realise it was a necro bump, considering the age of the post the body may well be DML.

 

[Katie_j_hunter]

what a fantastic job! ive always been curious as i am new to trying my hand at weathering how on earth do you replicate what looks to be a simple "dirtying" effect up the front of his uniform? some kind of wash maybe?

 

[rogerbee]

Pastels are good and I sometimes dunk my BDU's in black coffee.

CHEERS!

Such a fantastic figure! So many lovely details and a fantastic Hs! I love this guy!
