Hey guys, since I know I would suck at sculpting I'm making an attempt to great my own posters... Well here's hopefully the first of many, I also look to do some Marvel stuff once I get my art skillz back since I was a kid!!!

Snake Eyes Vs Storm Shadow (still really rough, cleaning up and then the paint)

That's really shaping up quite nicely, Skiman! What type of paints are you using?

That's really shaping up quite nicely, Skiman! What type of paints are you using?

Going with some acrylic, it's actually the first time I've ever painted with this stuff, I've always drawn, sketched, water colored, pastels, chalk, etc...

It will definitely test me skills!!! :confused:

[Skiman]

Tonights progress boyees!!! I'm getting excited! :banana:chew:banana:chew

I know the spot between SS's legs, it's cool I have the mix paint to get back to it... crowded spot LOL!

Hey I just noticed you're in St Louie.Any good shops up there that sell 1/6th scale figs and stuff?I'm about a 5 hour drive from there in the southwest corner of Mo.

Really it's the worse place to find collectibles, there's a few comic shops here and there but none of them have the high end statues or even Sideshow collectibles, there might be local dealers here that deal out of there house but I've been unsuccessful with getting anything local...

[StarrDogg]

That really sucks.You'd think in a city as big as St. Louie you'd find at least one or two good shops.

Yeah I know, I mean there could be don't get me wrong, I think it's more ppl dealing out of their houses though like on eBay and forums like this but I've searched high and I've searched low throughout Saint Louis looking for specialty shops and mainly it's all comics or if they do have statues is most of the low end stuff, maybe some Bowen but very rarely Sideshow items... :monkey2:monkey2:monkey2

Thank you much Slug, hopefully I will be finishing this up this week and I'm going to start a Marvel one... I was thinking something with Hulk, Spiderman or Iron Man, maybe all of the above, LOL!

Agreed! I'm really impressed with your talent here! A lot of time went into this. :naughty

[Bardoon]

Very cool! It reminds me of Michael Turner's variant cover for DD's GI Joe #21!

Thanks Mando that really means a lot since I've seen your custom Recondo and that's just awesome as well, I could paint something better than put together a figure, LOL!

Very cool! It reminds me of Michael Turner's variant cover for DD's GI Joe #21!

LMAO, oh wow, I just looked that up and found it on google, I've never seen it but he has them in the position or spacing, not same pose but similiar... Yeah all I need is that Cobra Commander in the background! :rock
