I,ve been working on this figure using melted sprue to create the figure.
Iv'e got some new pictures of this figure to include the base.
Do you mean to tell us you have completely sculpted this figure from scratch using scraps of melted sprue??!
What scale is this?

Mike it's 1/16th scale... and everything including the base is made of sprue....
Incredible! First time I've seen something like this. Can you please post a how-to? TIA

Now that is IMPRESSIVE. Keep us updated, PLEASE.
wow....just wow!
captfue - vary nice work, as usual! I would also like to know how exactly do you do it. I suppose you melt the sprue with some solvent (acetone, lacquer thinner) rather than heat, right?
Thanks in advance for the info and have a nice day

Very cool, great job on his face!
Seems like they'd be a whole universe of easier mediums to use than sprue but hey I can't argue with your results!

Hello!
I use sprue melted down with lacquer thinner for putty, and I have observed that it cures gradually - that means it forms a skin of growing thickness and remains soft under that. I imagine that it offers an advantage in carving, when you try to show wrinkles and folds, pose the limbs and so on. Then you leave the model overnight and then it gets rock hard - you could carve some tiny detail in that or sand it smooth - so I believe it could work, but I'd sure would like to know some detail here!
Have a nice day
I use a soldering iron to soften the plastic, I've taken some how to shots, that I'll be posting soon and thanks for the interest...
yes, very interesting. And very interested in seeing your tech on how you're doing this

Here are a few updated pictures...still undecided as to leave the helmut on or off...
Cap,
I think you forgot to attach the pics.
Very impressive. Would like to see a tutorial of your method at some point.
Working on one....
There are not words to describe this....your forum signature is truly accurate!
