Wolverine?

[supervike]

Not quite...

This is a superfigs mini I converted to look more Wolverine-ish...

I made the claws from cut up bobby pins...took me forever to get them to stay put on the hands...I did them one at a time.

What do you think?

I like it. This guy looks really insane and makes a good villain.
Painting looks good. The base seems a bit large to me !

that's Wolverine's mean little brother, his antipode. Extremely dangerous. Looks good, supervike, like the idea!

I agree the base is overly large...but I was trying to hide the presculpted one underneath which extends past his feet quite a bit.

Still, it was fun to do even with my simpleton paintjob....

Good idea with hte bobby pins.  As a thought for next time, what about cutting a few grooves with a razor saw into the hand to make hte joint more sturdy?  not sure exatly how you did it, but that might create a better bonding point as well.

I like he look of the figure, very well done.  One of these days, my daughter wants to do super heros.  I keep puching it too the back burner till some other things are done.

Yeah, I did groove out little niches between the knuckles with a file...I wish I would have thought about the razor saw though.... The file was a bit too big, and it was hard to keep the groove in between the knuckles.

I angled the bobby pins on the fist side as well, so they would sit flush to the hands.  Then glued and sprayed a bit of super glue accelerator onto each one...It has made a surprisingly strong bond.  I doubt he could cut through adamatium without them falling off, but you can pick him up by the claws with no problem.... ::

He looks beautiful! Really nice job!

I'd love to put him in the gallery on our web site if that's OK?
