Hawkman 1:6 with removable helmet

[s_bennett]

Second crack at Hawkman in the 12" scale. Everything hand made on this one: helmet, wings, mace, boots and costume. Wings are bendable but only gently.

He's up on Ebay if anyone's interested: https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130449452011

Very nice. I especially like the wings. Good job!

Those wings are great.

If you can reveal, what body type did you use on this?

 

[Gipetto0812]

Great job man! I would only suggest beefing up the legs some b/c they look a tad small compared to the huge muscular upper body

If you can reveal, what body type did you use on this?

HT Dutch maybe? looks like it, but I don't actually own Dutch so maybe not

Great custom. I love the Hawkman character and you've really captured him. What head sculpt did you use?

 

[s_bennett]

Hey thanks for the input, guys. Not sure which headsculpt it is; I bought it on ebay and re-painted it. The body is a 1:6 Chris Redfield.
Cheers

Great work! Lot's of detail really reflecting the older Hawkman look.

Hey s_Bennett can you explain to me how you made the helmet? Im trying to do a Hawkman but can't think of a way to sculpt a helmet that fits without molding it onto the head sculpt.

Also where did you get the chest emblem from?

THAT is brilliant!!

Hey SanShou,
Try covering the head with saran or aluminum foil (I use foil) and sculpt over it. Have to be careful in peeling it off, and you'll need to do some shaving/sanding inside the helmet so it goes on and off easily.

Chest emblem I designed on my laptop and printed out, but you could try searching for Hawkman emblem images online.

Good luck with it,
