Custom vintage toybiz style Marvel legends Iceman

JinSaotome · 10-14-2015, 09:07 PM

He's one cool character and part of the original X-men team, it's Iceman! This custom Marvel Legends 6" Iceman was created from the Target exclusive 3-pack Vision that has been making his rounds in many a custom Iceman/Human Torch. The first step was carefully removing all the white overspray using acetone and lots of Q-tips for those hard to reach crevices. The original Vision head was used, his bare feet and joint holes were resculpted using clear epoxy, and a belt sculpted. Thinned down Tamiya clear blue was airbrushed on and Iceman took on the homage of the vintage toybiz 5" Iceman you owned as a kid!

I would have made his eyes all white, but dude that is sick!

Fantastic job!

I tried to make an actual ice-slide from styrene and sculpt so that it had a troth you could freeze his feet in. The ice kept breaking the styrene apart tho, bah!
