Megadeth's Vic Rattlehead

[kashyyyk]

Here is the gun, it's a chap Mei rubber one cut up and then I added sculpy to it.


--
Here is the So Far So Good.. head done, needs to be painted and the chains added




Testing some more ammo belts, but I'm getting more of the colored ones. I need to paint the gloves and make the ammo pouch. And then find a gun!

----

I want to expand my Eddie from Iron Maiden's shelf to include Megadeth's Vic Rattlehead.



I'm going to make 3 figures. I have the heads made, but only one with the chains, and I want to redo the mouth clamps, then paint it. The mouth clamps are a pain.




Here is the start of So Far So Good.. I don't know what the legs look like from the cover so I'll make it up as I go. I think painting the fonzie hands will look like gloves, I ordered a pair of gloves so I'll wait and see which looks better.

Been picking up stuff that will go on this, I just need to find the gun. Picked up a couple ammo belts and a satchel here. I have some AJ grenades, I'm going to take the head like I made above and sculpy on the helmet.

I need a green suit for the General

These are the three I want to do

can't wait to see that painted up, looks like a pretty good sculpt.

That looks pretty sweet. My wife used to think that Dave Mustaine's name was "Davey Stain".

I like where you are going with your customs ideas. I have a Vic Rattlehead custom of Peace Sells (One of my favorite Megadeth covers and CD's) that is still not finished as of yet. I kind of put him on the back burner some time ago. I will post a picture of my W.I.P. in another thread.

Good luck with your customs. I look forward to seeing them when they are finished.

Hee heee!

That's great! Looks fantastic so far.

>The mouth clamps are a pain

If you've got two needlenose pliers, use small paper clips. Twist the top part halfway around one, crimp and then twist the bottom a half twist again.

I tried a paper clip, thats what I used on the chain. The problem is the top part of it is J shaped and the bottom is round and I can't make it small enough. If I can fin d a single so strand wire that is a little thinner than the paper clip it should work otherwise I'll sculpt it
