Some much needed characters. I had seen wips of Songbird by Raydaimon "Raybot" over at fwoosh and just knew I had to have her so I talked with Ray and low on behold he was also working on Moonstone. So here's pictures of Songbird and Moonstone, Songbird: I also got a picture of the alternate short-hair Songbird from the current Thunderbolts series: Sadly that Blade & Gladiator are not mine. Moonstone: Info (Songbird): -Ray sculpted the belt, gauntlets, and harness. -The design for her harness changed a lot so he just whipped this up and he liked it better than a lot of the ones he was looking at. Info (Moonstone): -He's working out the kinks on chroming things, so Moonstone seemed like a good candidate, plus she goes great with Songbird and the current Thunderbolts lineup. -He used an Elektra with boots and a fist from Invisible Woman. -The other fist might be a sanded down hand from Ben Reilly Spidey. -The hair was from WWE Mickey James. He liked the way the sorta crazed facial expression came out. -Plus she's got zero paint-rub...which was the big challenge with the chroming. -Due to the immense materials cost on the two (since he's been working with a lot of hardware and auto paint rather than craft stuff lately) the lowest he could go on the pair was $180. The materials cost was alone was nearly 80 bucks! He has no idea how automotive hobby guys afford what they do and neither do I.

I also paid for a cast of his "Deep Edge" Iron Man and it was just finished, I'm gonna ask Dustin next time if he would like to paint IM using one of his nice metallic finishes. Time for a update from buddy Dustin, Radioactive Man: Back when I won him in a huge lot. When dustin fixed RM up more: Now: Info: -He's just about finished. -He initially painted the air tank straps brown like in the JRJR Spider-Man story he was in, but over in T-Bolts they were gray. -Aside from that, he'll tighten up some of the paint details and that's about it. Another Big Guy from Dustin, who is ready to be primed, Mongul Jr. Here's a before shot: Now: Info: -The majority of Mongul Jr. looks ready to prime. -He's gonna bring Mongul hands with him to the hobby store this week to find the right size styrene rods to anchor the constructs, and to get some yellow dye for the resin. -He should also be able to find some parts for the ring faces. -Adding the shin cuts was a great idea. He holds the lunging pose from the pic with Iron perfectly without wobbling. -While he was finishing his boots he added some Kirby designs on the soles. Hello all, Since buying Moonstone & Songbird from raybot. I got raybot to sculpt a alternate short melissa head for the current look. I've got 4lcc from Fwoosh making a T-Bolts Crossbones & T-Bolts Bullseye. I'm having Captain Odious from Fwoosh making me a T-Bolts Ghost. Thinking of asking him to make me a Luke Cage next. I'm gonna have Raybot make me a Juggernaut. Either with Red Hulk upperbody/Planet Hulk lower or Planet Hulk upper/Maestro lower. I put together a broken Sasquatch I had and combined it with the puny Man-thing that came out in ML, which I love other than his height and size. I cut off the 4 branches from his back, and the bumps and twigs and will be gluing them myself. Then have someone paint him for me. Reference of the Team: Here's Man-Thing: Here's the body with all the twigs and a few bumps and branches added. 1 and half tubes of crazy glue for him. My buddy Ray is going to give him a bigger head with longer tentacles and repaint. Hello, Here is the Luke Cage that Captain Odious is going to finish for me. After I asked about replicating his Ghost, I asked about Cage and he had started one so he's finishing Cage. First skintone: Second skintone: Info: -He had a question for me. He was having some trouble deciding what to do about Luke's skin. -He was debating between a darker brown and a lighter brown. -He thinks the darker brown looks better but the lighter brown is more comic acurate, which I agree with. -I chose the lighter brown. Recipe: -Mattel WWE John Cena body -SOTA Street Fighter Guile arms -not sure on the head, will ask. Got a another shot of Luke Cage and one of the alternate head that Ghost will have. Cage: Reference: Ghost: Reference: Got a update on Luke Cage from Captain Odious. Info: -He sent me some pics of Luke last night. -He still need to touch him up a little but he wanted to know if their is any thing I'd like him to change or add based on what I can see in those pics. -He'll have better pictures of both Luke and Ghost afternoon. Here's Luke Cage just about done: And here's Captain Odious's replica of his Ghost: Unmasked head: Got 2 pictures of Cage with Ghost and others to show his size from Captain Odious: Info: -He re-did the shoulder logos. Here's those finished pictures of Luke Cage:

I got a cool update from Dustin on Mongul Jr., and Radioactive Man. Radioactive Man: Mongul Jr. "Sinestro Corps": Info: -No news with the constructs yet but he's done some painting on Mongul. -He also added styrene seams on his chest and back. If the colors look good, he'll go ahead and paint the metallic parts and the shoulder straps and add the rest of the chrome studs. -Right now his eyes are yellow, since they seemed to be glowing with yellow ring power in a lot of the reference pics.
