WIP - Dreadnoks

[gman]

Moving on with my GI Joe project -- It's time to do some bad guys.
Dreadnoks!!! I want to keep the same feel going from my last 3 Joes so to do that I used a couple of Mego heads and a shrink job on the third. So here we go ---

Ratty Klingon head with hole in top becomes Ripper.....

Still tons of work to do -- I want them to where you can't tell who they were only that they are Dreadnoks. :)

Can't do Dreadnoks without Zartan :biggrin:

[gman]

This is the period where he left them alone to go with Cobra Commander to Cobra Island. :wink_y:
Actually I bought a fig "Agent Faces" that has a Zartan, Destro, and Mindbender mask that will be cast and shrunk in the near future.

[gman]

It's two part epoxy... Blue and Yellow -- roll it together it becomes green. You use to get it at hardware stores (Duro) for 3 bucks now you can only get it at Games Workshop for 8 bucks....:googly:

That is the best looking gray faced ponch I have ever seen. I don't know these characters, but am looking forward to seeing the final products!

How is Epoxy to work with ?
I've only ever worked with Magic-Scuplt & SuperSculpty so far..

[gman]

I like it for several reasons:

It cures in about 20 min.
You can sand it.
You can drill it.
And it sticks to most surfaces.

as far as detail work? supersculpy is probably better -- I use it because I don't know any better. :grin:

[spiderrogue]

"myst"!! man, i had the first one, way back when on the pc(which was soooo slow)..and can remember how frustrating that game was..all the stupid puzzles that you had to figure out..arrgghhhhh

If you can work with Magi-Scuplt, you can work with green stuff (kneadatite?, trade name is something like that...) Almost the same in terms of mix & cure. Green Stuff tends to get softer in detail as it cures than Magi-Sculpt, but about the same.

Those RULE!!!!!
