Sauron (Marvel Legends) Custom Action Figure
Custom #: | 74914 | Name: | Sauron | Custom Type: | Action Figure | Toy Series: | Marvel Legends | Creator: | riseROBOTrise  | Date Added: | July 15, 2015 | Base Figure: | Mr. Fantastic FF Movie/Lizard from the Toy Biz Spider-Man Series | Height: | 6.00 inches | Completion Time: | 30.00 hours |
This began life as a Toybiz Ioan Gruffudd Mr. Fantastic torso, with Spider-Man line Lizard legs from the knee down, head, and arms from the elbow down. I think the tail came from the Blackheart figure. The wings are scratch built, with wire-frame infrastructure, and latex kitchen gloves cut up to form the wings, and painted on liquid latex to make it thicker in certain areas while maintaing flexibility, and veins. The head was picked because it was hinged perfectly, being a lizard and all. I built the beak and skull up from plastic sheet and epoxysculpt.  Please wait... |

I might need to make another since the new BAF Sauron isn't anywhere to be found in my area.
Thanks for the comment!
Basically it's just liquid latex painted over the glove material, let to dry, and then painting on the texture, building it up, let it dry, paint on some more, until I had the texture I wanted. It sticks and retains the flex you need for wings. I originally tried a couple of other methods; cutting mesh forms, texting different materials, then in frustration and desperation gave up and did the dishes, and came upon the rubber gloves. You never know where inspiration will strike!
I did a Shanna, too, but it was a total failure, but haven't completely given up on her yet, she still is in my fodder drawer, so I might get back to her. But your Shanna is perfect, I'd have to step up my game to win that beauty pageant!
