Tried the scar on Doom with a toothpick. Should I scratch it off and try to go with a thinner scar? (I modeled the scar positioning after the subscription Doom, by the way)

I didn't get to make a better lightbox today because Wal-Mart didn't have black posterboard like I wanted, so this is the best I can do, using my old one and iTouch camera and with one lamp.

(it's a burgundy paint by the way, it looks darker on camera than it is)

Great pic USAgent. Bad Moon, digging the platform and that modded Sue Storm! X-Factor Cyke FTW!

COBRANINJAH · 08-19-2012, 05:26 PM

All the new sigs look bad-a$$!!!
Good job guys,
I forgot which Arker made the Phoenix with the custom hair, but I need one of those head cast, my paypla or bst is open to you...
Also, can someone please help me a fairly priced blastaar variant or even the entire wave 21?
Still looking for a Sif and King Laufey, oh and Titanium man.

SquirtleSquad7 · 08-19-2012, 05:40 PM

Actually decided I didn't like it and made the scar a little thinner. Better? Opinions?

Needs to be thinner and lighter. It looks like he is GoRbAchev's brother right now! Its getting close though.

Scythe · 08-19-2012, 05:43 PM

Thinner scar looks a lot better.

Optimus Vader · 08-19-2012, 05:45 PM

Damn. I didn't check this thread all weekend and it looks like I could read a Stephen King novel in less time that it would take me to catch up. Anyway,.. WalkingDeadPool (thanks buddy) hooked me up with this Kraven. Oh mama,.. this is one badass figure.

It's actually a lot lighter in person. It's a blood red.

And, anyone have any ideas/methods of getting it real thin then? First run was with a toothpick, and the current one was with a plastic twist-tie.

Also, so I don't double post, OV, Kraven looks really awesome outside.

Definitely. Although, I think this figure might look awesome anywhere.

You may want to try Michael's instead of Wal-Mart. They have a better selection of what you need to make a lightbox/photobox. Buy one of their presentation boards like the one below and then drape it in some fabric with the color of your choice so it's not too reflective. Or buy a cheap photobox off Amazon if you're able to.

Try a needle, just be careful not to poke yourself.

I havent posted pics recently, due to the fact that other Arkers here are superb in their photography skills , that Im hesitant to post pics of mine cause mine looks crappy. Oh well its appreciation anyways. Been clearing up those clearance MIB figs at $2 a pop why not. Heres some pics , turned the MIB agents into SHIELD agents.

Heres some a couple of action shots of the SHIELD agents.

Great catch finding them at 2 a piece. Just now need to make each different enough so i can stop thinking MIB.

After making a mold of that altered head I drilled the neck cavity out to 7/32" to fit onto an old Indiana Jones figure, and painted it up for my own custom Stan Lee.

Spidey: Wait how did you beat Venom!?!?!
Stan: I just wrote it into the story.
Spidey: Wait...WHAT?!?!?
Stan: I've been writing your story for years. Hehehehe.

This is great.
