hey guys some of you know me in the action-figure section of this board. well today you are going to see my artistic side, i have been for a long time and last month i started my first custom figure (after looking as ironcow's site ;D). the figure is called New Batman a character i made named after my favorite hero Batman, whats speacial about this batman is it's not Bruce or Terry; its another person. so if want to see my work just go to the ironcow message board and go to "New Batman is coming..." and check it out. as i continue my work i will post updates on both this site and ironcow's site. so if you want to commment on this feel free to post them here and enjoy. here's the artwork i did of my batman: so again share your thoughts with me and hope you like the finish project when it's done. ;D

Hey NB, I really like this design, good job. It probably would be easier to put on and move in, plus it has a cool urban/pulp feel to it. I also saw your plush version, very cool.
Maybe in the future we could see New Robin and New Joker...

ok, Here you go some "in-progress" pics, take a look.. so as you can see i fix the arms and torso to be able to "inter-change", if you notice i masked the tips of the arms and waist because i sand it too much and they became to loose. the pants is painted but, i have to re-paint it later since i remeber i have to prime first then paint. all in all im making good progress on this for a months work . what do you think? the reworking of the body and everything else i will start later and ill order the magi-sculpt FRI or SAT so for now enjoy these and stay tune :cool:...

hey guys, i need help from a custom pro, i got my magic-smooth in the mail and i need to know how do i use it? it said it's simular to maigc-sculpt only different, when i open them, they look "jelly" like, like gel or glue. so how do i mix these parts? any help would be great.

Sounds like it's a traditional "two part" compound? In which case, the standard would be to use a disposable container of some sort, and use a popcicle stick or similar disposable object to thoroughly mix then apply? It may or may not be "equal portions" though so check your instructions! Often the "hardening agent / portion" is which you use the least amount. I havnt used this product so I cant say... best recomendation is carefully read and follow instructions. Or contact the manufacturer for details if unclear (never fun to waste such stuff or ruin your project).

Magic-smooth? I've never heard of that. Is it meant for sculpting, or more for filling in small cracks and holes? If it's jelly-like, I can't see how it would be for sculpting.
Here's the description from the manufacturer:
"This two-part epoxy is similar in use to Magic-Sculp but it has a thinner consistency (similar to Vaseline). Easily smoothed with water to a glassy finish, Magic-Smooth is used often for taxidermy projects but it is also great for sculpting. Magic-Smooth does not dissolve foams making it an ideal foam coat! Also it can be used to give texture to almost any surface and Magic-Smooth makes a great adhesive for many projects. Simply mix equal parts of both the A and B component, and the material will harden overnight. It will permanently adhere to almost any clean surface. Once dry, Magic-Smooth will accept most any type of paint and will not shrink or crack."
Sounds to me like it's best used as a filler. Regardless, the instructions for use should be on the containers.
If you ever try some, Magic Sculpt is good stuff for sculpting.

thanks guys for the help, so it looks like i wasted $22.49 on something that is not for sculpting and i don't need. well i guess i have to order the magic-sculpt then, thanks again guys for the help.

your right, i was thinking the same thing i will keep the magic-smooth and order the magic-sculpt to continue my project. just in case how will the magic-sculpt look like when i open it? is it going to be like the magic-smooth, all jelly like or different?

ok, here the latest set of progress pics. as you can see i have already primed my figures and ready for the white base coat. Batman body (batsuit) Luis body (dress shirt) Batman/Luis legs (main legs) Batman arms/hands (batsuit/gloves) Batman/Luis heads in progress (still working on them) when the parts are dry from the white coat, i will begin the painting of the bodies and arms. the arms for the luis body are cut apart and waiting for the liquid rubber that i ordered to make cast molds of the figures for future custom making. again im continuing to work on the heads, which will take a whlie to finish. in the mean time i hope you like these set of pics and i will post pics again of the finish bodies and arms soon. stay tune...:cool:

Hey guys i need some help again on my project, as you can see my figure's paint looks good, but it's not that good. i seem have some problems with the paint on the leg joints, everytime i lift one leg to make an action pose the ball of the joint always scratch the paint off and i always end up repainting that part again. so what do you think i should do?

[glow=red,2,300] I'm sure there is somesort of liquid you can cover it in which stops it scratching off! I just cant remeber what it is! [/glow]

I once read where someone would coat their painted joints with CA (Crazy) glue, that it would seal the paint. Two words - BE CAREFULL!!
