Crystal Laser and Glass Head Destro....

Post by SteveD »

A bit of daft really. Been messing with the clear resin I have for the experiments with the Flipper gripper attachments, and figured I'd have a mess with some old moulds. Which resulted in these two:-

Image

Shadow has Red Laser head. TBH the clear acrylic isn't meant for rubber moulds, and can easily wreck moulds, so I didn't want to risk my proper Shad head mould, hence it's a Shad body with Red Lasers head!

Image

And it unfortunately got lots of little bits in from previous castings...

Image

Problem is telling where the stand starts and the figure stops!!!

Image


Red Jackal's head seemed to work lots better for Glass Head Destro:-

Image


Image

Incredibly hard to picture these two, hence why they are on the sunlit study window (no, it's not a prison cell, despite how it may look!).

Image

I'm now very tempted to try an entire Kraken, 'frozen' in ice, but the material is horrible to work with, so am worried if it doesn't set I'll waste a Kraken!

the uncolored :laser: 's head looks like :cobracommander: . Maybe you should paint him eyelids (though maybe it could ruin the "stealh" look I seem to notice)

It's the same head sculpt for :laser: and :cobracommander: DA! So you are very right - he could well have been Crystal Cobra - which would also have sounded cooler!

Thanks guys! I'm trying to make a see through Cobra Commander with :baron2: 's head inside at the moment too, so that I can half paint the helmet as :cobracommander: , but show the Barons head beneath. It's just not going too well at the moment, and we currently have a rather wonky head and tacky helmet! (let the filth commence!!!! :shock: )

Cobra Commander's true identity revealed sounds like a great idea. Why not do a removeable Cobra Commander helmet instead of the clear one?
