My first Super sculpey attempt

JaffleMan · 01-27-2011, 08:04 AM

This is my first ever attempt at using super sculpey, for the head I used the reccommended baking method but feel I achieved an inferior result to the boiling method i used to fill in the toes, the holes on the back and some of the detail on the chest of a stripped and beat up robotic rocksteady figure.

I am somewhat unsatisfied with the head since I was unable to carve the cooked product as easily as the boiled feet to get a sharper finish, so i'm going to attempt this again but using the boiling method once again, but as a first attempt I now have an idea of what i want to accomplish with my second sculpt.

I think nearly everyone should be able to guess what i'm trying to achieve here, except... will it be good..... or evil

I´ll keep an eye to enjoy your progress!!!

Thanks for share!!! Keep doing a great work!

JaffleMan · 01-27-2011, 10:06 AM

hey thanks dude

New sculpt... i'm happy with it for now.... so iv'e already painted it to see how it goes, if it fails ill start over

And heres the paint....

Going to bed now... and i'll start the rest of the paint tomorrow.

I in no way intend for this to be cartoon accurate... i make my customs as if playmates were to make the toys themselves with a little cartoon resembelancy but in no way being cartoon accurate.... i'm going to go crazy on the colours on this guy.... maybe even give him a metallic finish..... we will see. If it looks terrible I can always just paint over

is that gonna be Rex-1?

*Powder* · 01-27-2011, 01:38 PM

Awesome, dude! Great character to choose.

koenne · 01-27-2011, 01:59 PM

Looking forward ..

Your Rex-1 is looking promising so far--it's a character I've never seen done before as a custom too, which is also a plus.

**Jester** · 01-28-2011, 02:17 PM

Indeed, never seen Rex-1 or MACC for that matter.

JaffleMan · 01-29-2011, 06:44 AM

Hey thanks for the comments

and yes it is indeed Rex-1.

And most of the paint work is done, I used considerably different colours from his cartoon appearance most noteably the torso is a much darker blue and is metallic... and now looking back at it... it probably wasn't the best choice.

I still have a bit of painting to finish so i'll wait till the end before I decide if I want to repaint him. I had an accident halfway through already and have already stripped the figure once so i'm not in a hurry to do that again. :p

Also the eye visor I have somthing planned for... i quickly coloured in some eyes with pen just for the photo... this is not how the final Rex-1 is going to look

Also are there any opinions on the head?... i'm really so so on it... it ahsn't been attached yet so i'm considering giving it a 3rd shot. I only used sculpy as I could not find a suitable head to modify. Thanks

I like it. Very, "What if Playmates had made Rex-1?"
