"NECA" Styled Mutation Scene Base WIP!

*Powder* · 07-18-2010, 01:00 AM

Hey dudes & dudettes, here for your viewing pleasure is my first successful custom project! Its a little piece I like to call "The Shellackulate Conception"!
Jokes aside, I 'based' it on the bases that the good ol' NECA turtles came with. They got their own bases, why didn't their little turtle counterparts?

Materials used-

1. Model Magic
2. Cardboard
3. Paint

Tools of the trade-

1. Exacto knife
2. Paintbrush

I'm hoping to construct this into something a little bigger/better but for now its looking good, I think. This was about... maybe 3 hours of labor. I work slow. Comments/critiques are welcome!

I tried to make it look as though the ooze canister had just hit the sewer water, hence the splashing effect. For the record, the little guy on top is a mini mutants (original series) Splinter. He'll later be replaced by a more suitable rat provided I can find one. I may just cut one off of a Rat King toy and re-paint it though it might be slightly out of scale... I also had the ooze running off of the 'curb' but the pieces were too thin & broke. I will be adding more ooze drips & all types of other stuff in the near future.

Thanks for looking!

Cool scene!!! Nice pretty work ! Congrats! I like it....maybe just comment if you even had the splash effect you could put some ooze over the little shells too...(more similar like the 2k3 cartoon scene...)

*Eiko* · 07-18-2010, 04:07 AM

Wow Grats! Powder it's looking fantastic so far. I will be looking forward to seeing it when it is finished.

Topsu · 07-18-2010, 07:44 AM

Nice work Powder! My own miniturtles are on a green rock accompanied with parts of vintage sewer-toy. Could you show better picture of that rat, altho you said it's going to be replaced...

Triglyph · 07-18-2010, 10:05 AM

This is really, really cool!

*Buslady* · 07-18-2010, 11:29 AM

+1 very nice

*Samhain* · 07-18-2010, 12:23 PM

This is awesome! Haha

RayH · 07-18-2010, 06:34 PM

That came out pretty nice, i like the mutagen effects. it's a nice little dio. maybe some broken glass representing the fishbowl would be cool. You can probably use cut pieces of action figure packaging.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 07-18-2010, 09:33 PM

pretty cool Powder

909 Turtle Fan · 07-19-2010, 02:24 PM

Looking good, now to find a nice backdrop or something to enhance it more..

Patraw · 07-21-2010, 08:59 AM

Cool little diorama--I can't recall anybody ever doing this particular scene before, and it's high time somebody did! I think the puddle of ooze that the turtle are standing in would have looked more convincing if you had made it an irregular shape, which would convey the image of an amorphous fluid better, rather than a square shape. Kudos on the creativity!

*discordiatookie* · 07-21-2010, 04:36 PM

That's pretty cool, man. I dig it! Them poor turtles don't know what's coming to em!

Lordmylar06 · 07-24-2010, 08:28 PM

Sweet. Awesome work Powder! Are you working on more?

psychoandy · 07-26-2010, 01:41 PM

That's a really cool idea, man! Great job!

*Powder* · 07-27-2010, 07:18 PM

Thanks for all of the feedback, everyone! I'll soon be adding a sewer wall with pipes & a whole bunch of other things. I may end up turning this into a really big piece. I dunno yet, though. Again, thanks!
