I think in the case of Mysterio a marble might be the way to go. I was thinking of using one of those gumball machine containers,( small variety) but by the time its trimmed it wont look as accurate. DR.Strange cape would probably be the way to go...mabey even Moon Knight. I remember Mysterio being a little thicker in the chest. Perhaps a pegwarming Wrecker body?

Good thinking on all accounts, I'm out of town so i can't dig through my fodder.
Yeah Mysterio did have a good physique. I just didn't want too much "buffness" and definition for my S6 crew. You know, sticking with a more classics/early feel.

I originally thought of the gumball acorns as well, and like you concluded after trimming it wouldn't be right.

For Doc Ock I'm using some AIM soldier parts, a DC Guy Gardner Green Lantern head (I'll sculpt the glasses) and these for the tentacles: USB LED LIGHT for NOTEBOOK/PC goose neck / snake FT307 | eBay

should turn out well.

Someone mentioned using a Dr. Rex head for vulture. The only thing holding me back from painting Falcon all green is the lack of that feathery thing Vulture wears around his neck.

As far as Mysterio goes, there were a few pack ins in the Spidey line that looked like they might make a decent Mysterio, but the rest of his costume was way too involved for me to feel comfortable customizing. I'm holding out hope he shows up in a Spidey line next year.

Hmmm. I've got a few Dr.Rex heads lying around. the cool thing is the hair just pops off! I actually bought one just for the hair for my MU "Velveeta cheesy skillets blacksmith" custom.

I think I will actually pick up a second Doc to give the legs some more height and probably Adhere his tentacles to get rid of that awful chest piece.

BigHanksCustoms · 11-21-2011, 06:23 PM

Sweet, I needed the motivization! Looks great. I agree ditching the harness will improve it big time. Or at least minimize it to vintage Octavius proportions.

Im going to see what I can do about using an Iron Spider to give the upper arms some mobility. Glad I could offer up some motivation. Also is there a Big Hanks school for frequent out of towning? I would like to enroll lol!

D00MTR0N · 11-21-2011, 06:50 PM

painting around the spider symbol had to be wicked tough.

Haha! Yeah it's simple, work like a dog for the first 4-5 months of the year and then eat ramen noodles the rest of the time!

I'm in a really good place, lifestyle-wise. I've worked my ass off and had a fair bit of luck on top. I've been working 6 months on and taking six months off for about 5 years now. For all the sacrifices I simply couldn't live any other way now. I'm waaaay spoiled.

Thats awesome. I do the same but sadly I live in one of the most expensive counties in the US. I wouldnt be living here if it wasnt for family. If you're ever on shore leave in Chicago, I have some Eggs Benedict for you.

My haul of the last 7 days.

You could use one of those neck pieces from the gi joe figure "Snow Serpent" perhaps? You'd just have to trim off the shoulder pieces.
