Wow, thanks for all the comments guys! I only noticed your tutorial this morning Kyle so may have a crack at the same shorts. Is that a sneaky peak at your Jim Lee team that we're all pining for? The shorts do look flat after how much I textured the sleeves and coat. I use the same creasing technique with a cocktail stick too.
Glad you liked how the 'Scabby Wanda' turned out Deadeye. I remember you PM'ing me saying how god awful the body was and saying I could get better. Pretty chuffed I turned it round!
Working on retooling Wolvie, Jean Grey, Rogue and Cyclops next guys. Now I've finished the Blue and Gold team in my other thread I need more projects to keep me outta trouble

Lol - agree to disagree there - its personal pref I guess
But like Variable Penguin - I like real clothing on things as much as possible and use material or PVC tape in my customs to simulate vinyl and leather costumes
I double fold PVCtape (sticking both sticky sides together) and weather it with fine sand paper and rub boot polish into the rough pores to make leather effect
I make trenchcoats, shorts, belts, whatever in this manner
I leave it shiney if the characters meant to be wearing Vinyl
I used the tape technique to some extent on my Punisher 1889 figure in the contest last month
And it was pretty well received - Got 3rd place with it
Its now been sold to a regular customer in a neighbouring city (Edinburgh) - I'm now making the new and improved version 2 of said model
But youre absolutely right
Wings is indeed getting better and better at sculpting - and I love his paint work
We've struck up a good friendship thru our trade deals
I'm curently sculpting him weapons for his customs

NO TAPE, NEVER...lol... wings can sculpt good, if anything shouldve done that, it works as is though.

Wow Man - I can't believe thats that same scabby Scarlett witch figure I sent down to you in a recent trade - AWESOME custom job
People I have to stress that this figure was ripped apart in my fodder bin cos I thought she was so lousy - Wings here has done ONE HELL OF A JOB - piecing her together and turning her into the Lil Miss Firecracker here
Kudos man - thats a superb piece
A pair of PVC tape shorts would be really cool tho

You did it again wings old chum

Grea work man!

Looks good Wings

Woohoo! More and more Jubes! I'm in heaven! Impressive work.

lol... woulda been nice to see the shorts on, what is obviously, my jubes in my tutorial... I agree about the X-23, after someone said on a post (about my first domino) "looks like Mezcos rendition" now thats all I see when I look at X23...lol.. great job again wings.
