The quickest done of my X Force team after I got started on him. I was looking at a couple of WWE figures as a base but the final one I had decided on was no longer on the shelves when I made up my mind. I happened to look at the Herc I used for another custom and my X3 Colossus and it hit me. I bought another Herc and fused the two.
Upper body: Hercules with gloves sculpted over the arm bands
Lower body: X3 Colossus
Designs on shirt: mailing labels cut and painted because me and straight lines don't get along. My kids' fault. The pants were done by hand though.
Boot straps: twist ties from bread
Belt: rubber band and thumb tack
Knives: from a 90's super spy Wolverine
Scabbard: painted masking tape and cardboard mounted with super glue
For the head I sculpted over Hercules' smile to give him a scowl and the hair is a thin braided fabric I untwined and gflued to his head. I wanted it to have movement and a shiny almost wet look like in the comic during one of the teams bloody battles. I wanted to be original and give him the proper height also. In the last 2 pics posted I tried to show it by reenacting the fight during World War Hulk. I have more though. Let me know what you think.
the recipe is fantastic.
good work!
