Captain America in Ice

behindthemask · 11-05-2011, 10:34 PM

I picked up the Captain America jet like a month or more ago and have since repainted to function for Deadpool. So I'm left with this random pretty shitty Cap figure with virutally no aritculation and the only piece worth snagging off him is the shield. So I want to find a way to make use of him, then it hit me, Han Solo in Carbonite is a figure, why not Captain America in ice! I'm just trying to figure out what materials to use. I was thinking maybe get like a skinny square/rectangle shaped vase/candle holder and fill it with either like a fast clear drying caulking, or that gel wax you see people make custom candles with. any ideas?

Yeah i say stick him in that square holder and freeze him in real water, just to take some pics then after that, find some clear stuff to use for ice to keep permanent on display, but what to use for that permanent ice, i have no clue. Good luck though.

Drop him off an exploding buzz-bomb into the freezing Arctic waters below.

put him in a clear jello mold. Interesting for a party i guess. "We have to eat all this jello to save Cap!"

Some great diorama tools-

Maybe stick him in a plastic box, then coat the box with the water scenery stuff.

Floral resin kits can be found at most craft stores. And you can tint the resin with acrylic paints (white/ blue) to get a more snowy ice appearance. The trick would be making a mold that looks like it was carved or broken with Cap inside.

Don't make a mold that
s carved or broken... encase him in clear resin, then carve and break the resin!

YES! I was just playing with a cup of hardened clear coat at the shop and thought the same.

Captain America is very popular superhero. I like to watch the cartoon costume of Captain America. The color is awesome of his costume.
