Mego Gorn muscle body: first attempt...

[Gorn Captain]

I have a thing about Gorns (who knew?), but Emce and new Mego didn't make him impressive enough, I felt.
Shatner wouldn't be scared of those thin arms and small chest.
So here's my first attempt at body building an Emce Gorn. It still needs fine-tuning, some sanding, and then paints.

It's been years since I did some sculpting, I really need to get more practice in. Have to work on my body proportions.
I might try a superhero muscle body next. This have been a fun project so far.

looks good. The hulk body Gorn goes a bit too far for super muscled, but the regular bodies are a bit thin. The actor who played the gorn was probably a normal sized buck, but they had that slightly padded suit on to add some muscle and alien-ness to it. I look forward to seeing this in green.

The Hulk body is alright but too short. I like the taller body that Dr. Mego has on his website. It's also able to move at the waist. The original Gorn costume didn't have the Gorn Captain super buff. His head was over sized since it was a mask. He had muscular arms and legs but the torso, not so much.

Sill. Love what you're doing and I can't wait to see the completed fig.

Nice work! Can't wait to see it finished.

I couldn't really address the head which, as said above, should be a bit bigger and wider.
I may tone down his pecs, I think I got carried away a bit too much. The Gorn in the classic episode had a bit more "saggy" torso. Too many hours in the Captain's seat, I guess.
Let's call this one the "been at the gym" Gorn...

I think a green swivel-arm body is needed for a better "Mego" Gorn.

[Gorn Captain]

It's always a compromise between sculpt and articulation, and a swivel arm is hard to combine with sculpted muscles without ruining the lines (as it turns).

Too bad the type S with upgrades is not available in green.

Too bad the type S with upgrades is not available in green.

That's true, but couldn't you always paint the body with correct paint brand and color?

[PNGwynne]

I'd be more likely to try and dye it, but yes.

I'm very happy with the new Mego Gorn, but that still is some impressive sculpting. I look forward to seeing the finished figure.
