Statue Captain America premium format mod (Now with pictures!)

[LordRagnar]

Hello all, Im back with a custom project. My favorite client has a hankering for a better SS Captain America pf statue. Now I know some people will be shocked and angry that we have the audacity to mod a SSpf, but Im confident I can make it better, and since my client is never gonna sell it, who cares! The mods include,

-repaint both faces(just the flesh areas)

-Add a 1/4 scale Thompson to the "fist pump" hand that sideshow provides

-add a little enhancement to the base

-make a mold of the top neck and shoulders to make a bust to store/display the alternate head

So without further ado, heres some pics, first Im taking a look at the heads, the sculpting is great, but the painting leaves something to be desired

Re: Custom Captain America premium format

Here are some pics of the bust for display of the second head when its not in the figure, I believe I may mount it on an empty .50 cal or 30mm round, instead of the wooden pedistal

Re: Custom Captain America premium format

As promised here are some pics of the hobbyfan Thompson before assembly, I think this is gonna be too much fun to build!

Everything looks awesome Hoyt! Can't wait to see the Tommy all painted up!

 

[Snadinator]

If I can offer some critique, I would say to tone down the detail on the forehead as it is aging Cap considerably.

Aside from that, nice work.

Thanks Snard! Yeah I thought about doing that, I just may have to now, easily fixed though. Just a couple of thinned coats of the highlight color I used. Oh to anyone who is interested the flesh is all brush painted, no airbrushing here jack! Just finished building the Thompson, so on to casting and painting it, then modding the "fist pump" hand to be holding that bad boy. New update pics coming soon!
