| Inspired by the Dapper Dan drawing, I decided
to start on a animated version of the Kyle Parallax. I started with the
JLU Kyle Rayner base and then sculpted on the mask, arms, shoulder pads,
boots and neck guard. Note to self, Sculpey can be fragile, as seen by
the various cracks on the figure like on the right boot which I will have
to seal. Ah well. The cape came from a Superman JLU figure and was painted
green. The armor was painted metallic green, lighter than the cape but
it matches the lanterns that come with the figure. The symbol is decoupaged
on. An ambitious figure for me and it required much time and patience.
This is before I learned to boil Sculpey too, which would have prevented
the cracking I think as I used the hair dryer method and burned my fingers
off. |
