THE TOXIC AVENGER! - member appreciation sale - from CAINE

[Astro_zombie]

What are you using for a mop? I was thinking some white binding thread and a wooden dowel, then just add a whole bunch of sludge to it. What do you guys using for a body? I was thinking of tinkering around with a hot toys muscle body. Adding epoxy sculpt to the arms and such to make the boils and veins, then painting and inking the whole thing.

Caine...sent you a PM

Got Toxie in the mail yesterday... awesome sculpt! I spent some time yesterday figuring out what I was doing with the body and head. So I plan to prime the sculpt over lunch and paint him this evening :rock

Don't have my bodysuit yet; but it's been ordered.

 

[Slp bishop]

Please share what your using trying to build one my self but stumped on the body and neck part

 

[galactiboy]

I don't know if this will work... but I am using one of the smaller Kaustic Plastic bodies. I cut out the rubbery neck and then cut down the barrel-shaped neck adapter piece.

Then I drilled a hole into the Toxie sculpt and glued the neck adapter in place. My hope is that once he's dressed the shirt will hide the gap between the neck and the chest, but I'll still be able to use the arms.

I may end up bulking up the legs and chest, just depends on how he looks in the body suit.

If I had a choice of stock bodies though; I'd use a captain America First Avenger body. It's got the sculpted arms, but no fixed neck.

 

[galactiboy]

So here's some quick shots of what I'm doing... bear in mind I'll bulk up the chest a bit and probably have it sit a bit higher. And once the shirt is on I hope the fabric will hide the gap.

But if needed I could always drill bit further into Toxie's head to get it to sit lower, but I want to see how it all looks assembled before I do that.

The KP Neck plug is inserted into Toxie's neck

Looking good please keep us posted I may have to try to do the same thing what suit and tutu ate you using?

 

[galactiboy]

I bought a light grey body suit from minibarbie that I plan to dye and heavily weather. For the tutu I'm going to just try to make my own, what he had on film was really the tattered remnents of the tutu, so I'm pretty confident I can find a stiff material that I can shape to look like this... I'm going to try for this look overall:

 

[Caine]

glad to hear you guys are liking the sculpt and already getting to work on these figures!

 

[galactiboy]

It's a great sculpt Caine and loads of fun to paint... although I think this is the smallest eye I've ever tried to paint :lol

A fun intense roar angle...

[galactiboy]

Got a bit more done to Toxie last night than I expected... I finished up texturing and painting his arms.

I do think I'll have too countersink a bit deeper into the neck as the head is a bit high, but I'll know for sure once I have the outfit sorted out.

**Please ignore his lack of pants

 

[Slp bishop]

:claplooks great so far can't wait to see it finished with the body suit I think im going this route my self

 

[galactiboy]

Thanks man. Got working on the mop and tutu... both are done save for weathering.

*clothes are just a mock-up

 

[JohnnyStarquest]

That looks great. Can't wait to see it finished.

 

[JohnnyStarquest]

No more progress pics or completed figures. Here's my WIP. It's on a aci Christian.

 

[JohnnyStarquest]

More WIP

Still a lot of work to go but it's coming along.

 

[galactiboy]

Awesome! Two questions:
1) Is that by any chance the minibarbie bodysuit? Either way it looks like it's going to work out great for the figure :rock
2) what did you do to the Christian body to get the head to work; just take off the neck; or something else?

Digging the boots as well; I'm still waiting on my bodysuit so I figured the boots would be done last since they won't really be removable.

 

[JohnnyStarquest]

I got a triad bodysuit. I dremeled the head and neck really thin and slightly dremel around the neck of the body. It slid right on. Boots were just suit jacket sleeves hacked off and pulled up over feet.

 

[galactiboy]

Nicely done; looks like a great fit for Toxie!

 

[galactiboy]

My bodysuit finally arrived today... I think it will work out quite well. Gave one part a tea bath to see how well it absorbs color. Hopefully I can get him mostly wrapped up tonight :rock
