Custom Colossus from Deadpool

About an hour into starting the head sculpt, using a blank base fit to the body. Hoping it'll start looking better once I get time to to sit at my work bench.

Looking great so far! Mind if I ask what body the Frank Castle sculpt is on?

 

[Squid_squires]

It's on a zy emulated of the hot toys wolverine body. Fits that head sculpt really well and gives the option of displaying with or without the jacket

Getting there, had to walk away cause my eyes are getting sore. Going to revisit it in the morning

 

[Rambler]

Looking good. I really can't wait to see how this turns out.

All pieces ready to be moulded, just need to decided on how fence a plastic/rubber to cast the pieces in so the paint doesn't splinter but the joint still move. Talking to a few friends who cast prop knives and guns for film to get a hard rubber that will bond properly

Looking good my friend.

nice work!!!! cool as hell

Daughter had her tonsils out so I've been full time daddy duty but I have ordered silicone for making the moulds as well as a few sample kits to see what works best for the pieces to hold the paint and make the joints move freely.

Are these castings going to fit on the stock ACI bodies?

Yep, they replace the whole torso, But I'm going to make an adapter so it'll fit on the taller legs available through zc toys I believe, the more generic bodies.

 

[RIDDICK]

Ok, this is really cool!!!

 

[Squid_squires]

Hey you crazy kids. Quick update. The first half of a two part mold is set on the headsculpt, depending on when my supplies arrive tomorrow I may have a head casted before I leave on vacation Tuesday morning. If not I'll have a chromed headsculpt around the 20th.

Looking really good.

 

[StealthFox]

Such a cool project. Looking forward to seeing him assembled.

Colossus head has been moulded. The silicone is setting now, I'll be able to do a casting in the morning, and possibly a chrome d test paint before the day is out. Regardless I'll post pictures of the stages, if the head works I'll prep the torso and arms for moulding.

 

[Squid_squires]

Test run of the head sculpt, got air bubbles in the ear lobes. I'll run another in the morning and paint it.

 

[Squid_squires]

Test paint.
