Toybiz Capt.America/Red Skull

Those look sweet. I dont think I could ever paint something like that. Have fun I want to see them when they are done.

I just one of those at MiniCon 04 today very nice indeed.

Looking awesome so far, cant wait to see it finished. Im sure it will turn out great just like your Thor.

Ok, I filled and primed the figures...took more work than I thought. I still have some more work but should have colors on these guys shortly. Thanks for being interested!



Regards, Dan

I like watching the progress. Just curious, how is the seem filling on this kit compared to Thor? keep up the good work

That is starting to look cool Dan. Can't wait to see another one of your great figures done.

Dan, looks great!

Thanks everybody!

Caseyn...the seams aren't as bad as Thor but still need alot of TLC. But for 12 bucks, I'll deal with them!

Here is the updated Red Skull: I camoflaged part of his uniform and have started a base coat on his head. Capt. America isn't moving as fast, unfortunately. I have him primed and coated with white but he is nowhere near final painting.




Dan

Red Skull is lookin' awesome, great job. Just curious Dan, what brand of paint are you using, and do you brush paint or use an airbrush? I cant wait to see this one finished.

Thanks again, Caseyn.

I brush and spray my figures. I sprayed the entire Red Skull figure with Tamiya Green as a base coat. I then added the rest of the details by handpainting with Polly-S and ModelMaster acrylics. The head is handpainted Tamiya Red Clear...to give a transparent effect.

Captain America has used up my alloted patience! I went back to handbrushing the blue because of masking problems, etc. Anyways, Here is the latest with both on the base:



Dan

wow dan you have a definite talent. it looks great so far.

Thanks, Joe!

Here is the the base nearly finished. I used polyurethane resin to fill in the tank with the skull in it. I was going to do the dials the same way but the hardener bottle exploded on me ( it was very old and I should have known better ) when I tried squeezing it, launching droplets all over my desk, clothes and both figures. I wound up filling the dials with 5 min Epoxy. So....here I go again fixing up these guys again....
