NEWEST UPDATE:

 

 

 

Started working on the legs. I knew I was gonna enjoy working on them. I really love how the feet turned out. Its funny how his legs and feet came out angled like the original.

Hip articulation still intact. Legs bend 90 at the knees. Thighs still have 360 swivel. Feet move have about 50 degrees forward and back, no side to side :(

 

If anyone was wondering, I've been using the CONCEPT IMAGE as ref. I didn't notice how much of a difference there was in the feet compared to the official design.

Last update for a while:

 

Put some more hrs in on him in the middle of the night. Almost done though!! Few more parts on legs/hips and then maybe touch up the shoulders. Also gotta fill up the back.

I think I'm done...

 

 

 

Added thickness to upper thighs (which you probably can't see), added a piece to the shin, knee pad, and a few other small things added to the back. Still not happy with the shoulders though.

Thanks! He's starting to look better now...

 

First, Prime and then Ultra Magnnn.... No, wait... First, primed... and then I'll coat some areas with dark metallic purple.

 

I suck at painting.... but whatever, stick a fork in him!!
