The YouTube clip for: NECA Terminator T-800 (endoskeleton)

The latest YouTube update. This entry ends the first cycle of "The YouTube clip for". Along the last weeks I've uploaded a few videos to the Metal Invaders Channel. From now, the main idea, is share content between the blog and the channel. All posts will be published with the related video. The T-800 is the last video of the first cycle. For the next post/video I'll introduce the WH40K World Eaters Legion 6" Berserker/Daemon Prince.

Blast from the past! (Part 5) Terminator T-800 (endoskeleton)

To reflect the dark future imagined by James Cameron I use two Neca Endoskeleton bodies, one for the base and another for main display. The poser T-800 was painted in a chrome finish and the weapon scratch build. The fell T-800 was disposed in the base with a blast in the chest and the limbs broken.

Here is a short "making off" of the base from start to finish.

Blast from the past! (Part 4) Hulk vs Wolverine

Hi everybody! This time I bring you a lot of old pictures of an small diorama made with Marvel Universe figures. The Hulk figure was one of the first 3 3/4 produced by Hasbro for "The Incredible Hulk" movie (2008) It was part of a pack with a Humvee G.I.Joe vehicle repainted for the US Army Hulk Buster Squad. The Wolverine figure was part of the "Marvel Universe X-Force pack" The barrel that Hulk is kicking out, comes with a German Vehicle of the Indiana Jones Hasbro line. Both figures were painted in a classic comic color scheme and the dark base simulates a "neutral" scenery.

Blast from the past! (Part 3) Yoda on Dagobah

An ancient Jedi master stands alone on a planet where the life grows wild on a half way between the light and the dark...

Well, everyone knows about Yoda and his fate so I've tried to show some wisdom and determination on his gaze through the paintwork. In this "deleted scene" Yoda is crossing an small river over a wood. The faith moves mountains and the wisdom of this Jedi helps him to cross a river... Nothing more to said.

"Tomatoes, Soy sauce, Garlic, Toilet paper... What to buy have I is that"

Blast from the past! (Part 2) Kratos from God of War

Another figure of Neca turn into statue. This time Kratos, from the God of War franchise. Like in the previous "Blast from the past!" entry (featuring: Pirates of the Caribbean's CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow) the arms of this figure has been fixed in a position and one of the hands can be exchanged for another. The "regular" position of Kratos have a pair of swords in his hands, in the other option he holds the Medusa head.

I do not remember much more about what I did on this figure far from the work on the base or the skin / tatoos paint :-/

For any unknown reason the guy who took this pictures for me, shoot the most of them on a diagonal position.... I've corrected the most of them so now you have not to turn your head to see them properly. Some are darker than others (an artistic expresion, I suppose) and the quality is "whatsapp" low because he said that there was no need on connect the terminal on the computer to download the pictures... (seen this pictures now seems that he was right...)

Meanwhile, I'm still working on several commissions and personal projects...

 

Blast from the past! (Part 1) Jack Sparrow

I've adopted the "Blast from the past" name of the Gamma Ray 2000 compilation album where they re-recorded some classical themes of the band. I've rescued some pictures of various commission works I did in the past. Among them I'll show figures form the Hasbro Star Wars line, Neca, Marvel Super Heroes...

For the "part 1" I've choose a Neca CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow action figure from their Pirates of the Caribbean line. This figure was repurposed as statue fixing the position with glue after an arm was broken (sadly a very common design mistake in these figures where the material used for the joints was very fragile and cracks easily when you try to articulate them). The paint work quality of the most of the Neca's figures it's very good so I only try to "upgrade" this with slightly details such inks in the clothes to give them more realism or paint the skins.

The base simulates beach sand so now Jack can feel like home. The figure comes with some accessories, a hat and a hand gun that can be removed and changed in the figure as shown in the pictures so Jack can be exposed in two or three different situations.
