Touch up the paint and make the silver lighter and that thing would be a pure masterpiece, amazing work.

Would love to see you do a version with broader shoulders and buffer arms like Max Gridman :lol:

Yeah, Godzilla wins... sometimes. I mean, he was killed by Dr. Serizawa's patented bubble-bath formula, heartburn, missiles, and poor box office returns, got his ass kicked by a drunken, circus-escaped gorilla, then he was beaten by two newborn worms, yeah some “king”.

Making some pretty big Changes to my Gamera Custom. Basically redid the entire jaw and now giving a new coat of paint. Also repainting the really small Hyper Figure in the same paint job. Here a look at the plastron paint. Bandai Image

I have one! It was Articulated over a year ago and was one of my first custom Articulated figures so it’s not the best, however I did recently try to actually make it look decent and up to my current standard. I’ll post it in a little bit

That's a cool looking figure, little touches here and there and it will look amazing.

Your job just gets cleaner with time, I really love how you add joints. I might try that someday, but right now I'm afraid of messing a vinyl and I'm not entirely sure where to get the balljoints. :lol:

Bro, go to school or wherever it is one goes to be a professional sculptor and toy maker. You have the right stuff to be one. Maybe one day you can work with NECA or something.

*gasp* maybe even Tamashii......just dont fuck up the eyes or teeth..... :lol: .

After three days of sculpting and painting, I've finallly finished my (remade) custom King Kong.
It's not entirely based on a single Kong; to be honest, I took elements I like from different Kongs over the years.
Original figure was a Marvel Legends (3 3/4" line) Ulik. So yeah, I basically sculpted/modified the whole figure.

I might take some cool pics tomorrow and post them on the creative pictures thread.

Repainted the eyes On my Birth Godzilla. Mine had a Slight derp and I couldn’t stand it anymore. So I repainted them to look like the 89 design. I think it turned out well. Happy with this guy now. My first fully repainted SHMA. My 64 repaint still has the original eyes and mouth. Image

What did you use as a base? Is it a 62 Kong vinyl?

Wow, great work. You really captured '62's facial expression very well.
