Well, the new Spiderman game is finally out. I remember in the initial trailer it was shown that he'd finally be facing off against the Sinister Six in a major game. But, we've gotten most of the various Six members released officially. I mean, there was even a box set. So, instead, I went with another lineup I've been wanting to do. The Sinister Syndicate! I actually kinda liked that team a little bit. Starting things off with the Beetle, who I'm pretty sure was the leader of almost every incarnation of the team. I often forget if it was him or Shocker.

So, originally, I was going to make him with open wings. But, honestly I had problems getting the backpack itself to be open and sit how I wanted it too. The wings themselves weren't a problem. So instead I just kept it simple. Sculpted up the helmet, belt, and backpack. From there, just a full repaint, and done!

cool work! like the look of this character.so that's the good starter base you talked about? I finally get on finishing one of the smaller things,cause I got no other bases left^^ trying to create a kyle rayner for my nephew by using a kenner dick grayson and my leftover apoxie.a little different and difficult at first,but think it will work... what about the bossfight blanks,they're also 3,75"? great custom again!

Yeah, Daredevil and Captain America are both great. I've used them both for countless figures with only adding sculpt. The BossFightStudio bodies are a solid 3.75". Marvel here actually stand about 4". Most of the ladies I've made recently have been on the BossFight body. Well, some of the ones I've posted, and all the ones I'm currently working on. Moving to the Kenner figure first is a good step of progression. I've been using the Avengers Assemble Hulk, which stands about 5", to get myself more used to working on figures a little larger. When you're moving to a smaller scale it feels like you have no space to work on the figure, and when moving to a larger scale it feels like I have too much space to fit things in, and I have to add unnecessary details otherwise it would look bland. lol But, on the plus side, smaller parts can be a bit cheaper. Thanks for the compliment!
