I've fallen in love with the look of Agent Venom and am trying to make a custom. Problem is, I have no idea what I'm doing. So this will either go really well, or fall completely on it's face....stay tuned to find out.
This is what I am sort of going for:
Anyway, after much looking around, I purchsed a Snake Eyes head like this from Toy Anxiety:
I also liked the look of the body armor from this figure, so I bought the figure here from a fellow Freak:
I removed the goggles by loosening up the glue with hot water then washed the head thoroughly. The goggles have a little post in the middle that goes through a small hole at the top of the nose. So I patched that hole with sculpting putty and plugged the six nostril holes with putty. I also used a silver Sharpie marker to draw the design that I wanted for the eyes. Although it wasn't perfect, it did help guide me through placing the very small, rolled up putty on the face when I was creating the eyes.
Here is what I have so far:
Next plan is to paint the entire head flat black, and all of the body armor the same. Vallejo flat black paint was recommended and just arrived today.
I'm also working on some ideas for sprucing up the armor some....I may try to find different, bigger shoulder pads, or somehow add spikes to the shoulder pads, not sure there. I've also bought some different hands that I think will look much better than the stock ones that came with the figure. And I'm either going to paint the straps black, or purchase some different ones that are already black.
I'm also not 100% sure whether I'll paint the spider and accents white like shown above, or red like in the new Thunderbolts comic:
And since I have no idea what I'm doing, I would most definitely be open to ideas and suggestions.
Thanks for looking!
