    The Ultimate Man of Action!

    ....without a head.



    I don't usually post half done figures, but this guy's head is gonna take a while.

        WOW! You're doing Pulsar??? That's amazing! How did you do that? And I don't suppose it'll have push-button action, will it?

          Brilliant idea. Did his head have a visible brain, too?

            >How did you do that?

            It's a double cast mold. I cast the torso, Dremel'd it out for the riggings, and filed off the front. Carved up the organs, and ran it through the mold again in clear plastic.

            >I don't suppose it'll have push-button action, will it?

            Unfortunately, no.

            >Did his head have a visible brain, too?

            It WILL.... but I'm having problems with the hinge.

              Holy Cow!!! That is awesome!! I have often thougth of doing Pulsar and Hypnos but couldn't figure out how.

              I think the perfect head would be a shrunken Big Jeff (from Big Jim).

              Can't wait to see more!!

                              Hmmmm.... y'know; he would be good. I used a recast Thor head, built up the jaw and brow a bit. Worked really well.

                              >are we going to see Hypnos as well?

                              Someday. It's tough to find good pics, or a cheap one online. I have a book.... it gets bigger all the time.... of stuff I want to make. Sometimes I add pages of notes, diagrams, etc.... One chapter involves other action figure lines I'd like in 8" scale. Pulsar and Hypnos are on it.

                              >Those organs look really convincing

                              I had a weird problem with them. The clear resin I got is pretty harsh stuff. It'll eat through most paint. So I had to varnish the guts after painting them. And the varnish reacted with the plastic. So there's some frosting of the clear parts. Not too bad; but it's there. (And if you look REALLY hard on the real one you cans ee where it started eating through the paint.)

                              I've been looking for a good clear resin 'cos I got a few invisible characters I want to make.
