    Not quite ready for prime time X-Men

    I've lost a bit of my Mojo with the downtime, so I'm working back up to the big guns... as a starter exercise I just painted up a Human Torch head I'd molded for Iceman (outfit is temporary - still waiting to find better fabric), and then modified it for Cyclops to finish a suit I'd already done.
    The one thing I've gained recently is a healthy appreciation for jewelers visors... and so:





    I tried Cyclops with an actual color-matched head, but I didn't like it. I decided to go lighter, in mirror image of the Captain America color shift, and it actually turned out Cap head blue.

    [UPDATE]!
    Got the Iceman Fabric covered: Here's Iceman 2.0 chillin with Summers. Scott wanted to get some cardio in but the danger room is down for repair (Wolvie ran a Sentinels scenario and shorted something out) - so he decided to use Logan's Anne Murray collection for some target practice. Oh those wacky kids...



    Iceman's boots are a recast. I wanted to "proof-of-concept" a boot slush-mold for myself to make sure I didn't need a roto cast rig to get the toes open. This means I'll be able to finish a few other things that have been in temporary limbo (*cough, Star Wars, cough*)

    That Charles Xavier head really means business. Where's that head from?

      He's Thor... I rounded out the cheeks, gave him a melon head and added on new eyebrows.

                  Not too shabby at all. I like the suit choices. Where'd you get the chair?

                      Great stuff, and inspirational that you are getting back into it despite your eyesight. I really hope it gets better and keeps improving!

                            Super looking Trio - you need to finish them off with the Beast, Marvel Girl, and Angel.
