Hello guys, FINAL UPDATE - Everything is now complete. Apologies for the poor quality pics, I hope you all enjoy looking at the finished piece as much as I have had making it. I am very proud of myself for creating this having never attempted a custom before. Enjoy guys, and standby for some future custom plans! I have been following this site for many years however I rarely post anything. Some of you may know me as the 'Unmatched Fury Guy'. The only figures I collect are statue-like ones and I have all the UMF figures ever released. I have previously followed other members posts regarding Custom UMF figures because now I have the complete set, I am looking to expand with customs of the line. I understand that the line isn't very popular, but I take great interest in them so I decided to have a try myself. I have NEVER customised a figure before, nor have I touched one up with accessories or paint, let alone sculpting. Well here is my attempt ...EDITS- Fully sculpted / smoothed over the body / abs and various muscles and also merged the elbow pads to make them disappear. - Extended the glove, added a belt and fully sculpted a mask. - I have added the black flames (I understand these look off, but due to the nature of Kane's pose, it was hard to get them accurate because his arms are up in the air) - Completely custom hair piece made up of different pieces of hair cut and put together like a jigsaw - Silver studs added for his belt / glove / wrist gauntlet. I need some feedback and ideas on this please. Be easy, like I said it is my first custom ever. I just want to do the figure justice to the best of my ability. Thanks for looking guys

Thanks guys, appreciate the kind words! If anyone could help me out with some advice that would be great. My main query I have is the hair. I have a hair piece ready but it is too small and doesn't fit or look right on the head. Should I sculpt a whole new style? Any other areas for ideas I'd love to hear them

Looks good so far. I'm a big old school masked Kane fan, so I'm really excited to see it when it's finished

Really appreciate the kind words guys. I am looking to continue and post an update this weekend as I am unbelievably busy at work all week. I could really do with some suggestions before the weekend comes round, especially in regards to the hair. Thanks again everyone

Thanks a lot man appreciate it! QUESTION ALL - in regards to the flames looking a little off - is it just me being picky and too hard on myself? I think they may look strange because of Kane's pose with his arms up. My ref pic that I posted shows how easy they would be to do if his arms were by his side. I'm just struggling to imagine what the flames would look like with him being in that position, lack of ref pics really. Should I add a few more black flames nearer the armpits? More so - am I even making any sense?

Thanks for the pic man. Thats the sort of reference I need however the one sleeve attire flames are different to the two sleeves attire that I have gone for. They are probably very similar though which proves I shouldn't go black under the armpits. Thanks for your help.

Looking great so far man. Really like how youve resculpted it into that attire, I've always preferred masked kane. Without the hairpiece it reminds me of Goldust! Lol

Haha yeah I see what you mean! Hopefully it will look better with the hair on. Thanks though! I'm going to complete the hair tomorrow hopefully so I will update the images then. I just have to make sure I've got enough pieces and bits to create a flowing realistic look with the hair.
