    Lou Ferrigno as Hulk

    First custom I have built in quite a while.
    eBay head.
    custom 3d print torso.
    shirt from the scrap bin.
    pants sewn by Legend of Link
    totally hate to say what the body limbs are when I found out how expensive they apparently are....lol
    Went through a couple paint jobs before mixing a green I liked.

        Looks awesome! One question...Is the shading around his eyes just shadow from his protruding forehead or did you paint with a darker color around his eyes? If this effect was achieved with paint, would you care to share how you did it? Thanks!!

                      dry brush technique. Start with dark base coverage, then brighter colors drug over the higher areas of the sculpt. I mixed several colors to build this face to get different levels everywhere. Heck, I used white, green, yellow, black, and red all in the mouth area alone. At one point, he was looking for like a zombie.
                      We printed some more dramatic hands, but I opted not to mess with it this time.

                              thanks. Yea, this particular one was more challenging than I expected. The head is odd. One minute, I look at it and it appears to be 1/9th scale...next minute, not so much. Then he has that long neck...and well, ya just can’t put this head on a typical Type2 or DrMego hulk body because it just won’t look right.
                              Sean and I ended up doing a modified torso and of all bodies in our parts box - a Presidential Monsters Obama body....those bodies have pretty good muscle tone and height to them and worked as-is.
                              But the paints...usually when I build a figure, I have the production-line mindset....this one was different...did it completely on the fly and without thought as to how I would reproduce it...hell, just mixing my colors makes my brain hurt trying to remember what all I squirted onto my plate and mixed :-/
                              Definitely a One of A Kind....
