Freaqualizer Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Absorbing Man and Titania are awesome! Your paint apps and decals are crisp and clean. Your sculpting is great! Can I ask what kind of sealant/finish you use, and if you're able to handle your customs without the paint rubbing off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobsterman Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Thanks, guys! Frequalizer: for my top coat I use a sealant from Microscale industries called Micro Coat. It comes in Flat, Satin, and Gloss, and can be thinned or tinted, and applied with an airbrush. It's pretty durable, and yes, once they're sealed, I can handle and pose my customs. I've been busy the last couple weeks trying to knock out stuff that's be lingering on my workbench for too long. This lady's about two months late: Silk Spectre was probably one of my most challenging customs, mainly because I was trying to pull off her translucent "silk" blouse as separate chest cap and skirt pieces rather than just painting it on. I don't have the equipment to do completely clean resin casting without any bubbles (and I'm not sure how well it would work with pieces this thin anyway), so I basically had to try and heat-shape existing substrates. I experimented with a lot of different plastics, and finally ended up using a clear PVC sheet I softened with a heat gun, then pulled the pieces through to stretch it into shape. Then I airbrushed on some thinned clear yellow paint with an added pearlizer for the shiny finish. I have to say, I'm pretty pleased with how she came out. I was worried the chest cap would make her look weirdly chunky up top like Power Girl, but I think being able to see the chest block design through the clear plastic makes it work okay. Nite Owl up next. I'm really excited to finally see this team all standing together on my shelf when I finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Harris Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 All of those last customs are nothing but brilliant, Silk Spectre beeing one of the most amazing customs I've ever seen. The translucent parts are some outstanding pieces and give her that iconic look. Absolutely fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
