I2EAPEI2's WIP Custom Figures

OK guys so my new 2nd form frieza did not last me long lol. AS soon as I posted the picture comparisons I went to my local hobby store and spent about 41$ on model testors paint and a new sculpting material called milliput that other customizers use in 1/6 scale. This new material is just like the apoxie ive been using except cheaper. It has about 1 and half hours of work time. You have to mix both parts just like the apoxie sculpt. and you get a lot more for 8$. The sculpt you see on king cold is 25% of the tube, and I had a little bit left over that was too hard for me to work with. I really liked the milliput even more then apoxie. Here are some WIP. Waiting for it to dry to re work and sand down. the pads still need some work. Also thinking of re sculpting the face.

Also does anyone have any idea how to sand down soft vinyl? No matter how rough or thin the sanding blocks were they didn't get the job done. Im trying to take off the lines on the legs and arms as king cold doesn't have those.

I had experience that before using sand paper and it takes forever and it's a pain in the *ss. I invested a dremel and it was a lot easier and I save a lot of time. Anyways you can carefully dremel the surface until you get that even surface then apply epoxy to smoothen it and add muscle details. Or if you don't have a dremel, my other method which I tried before is you just apply very thin layer of epoxy and run your finger just to fill those lines. Make sure you dont apply so much epoxy that you will cover the muscle tone/details. Just make sure your finger is wet/moist to help smoothen the surface when applying epoxy( which you already/probably know). If there's any other method out there I would like to know too, I'm only new to this customizing so I still have a lot to learn. But from my experience, I will recommend dremeling, then apply epoxy then sculpt the muscle tone. A lot of work but it will come out better. But it's up to you, you can experiment and see what is best for you. I hope this make sense and can help you a little.

havok I purchased a symbol sheet from brajita. they look great on his customs so it will be perfect.

@gil08 I do have a dremel but I was trying to avoid have to re sculpt everything but that might be th only way. I rather do that then get a small amount of apoxie and try to fill each and every line.

Great job so far on King Cold!

Its the same type of resin mix as a poxie and people use to make customs in 1/6 scale that have  been sold for 500-1000$ so it should be fine. I just find it easier to work with and that its available 5 minutes down my house and I don't have to buy it online.

I am talking about the 1/8 apocie bran, this milli put is yellow and the other part is greyish brown, they also have it in white and other colors. My least favorite so far has been the pink apoxie. It so soft that it is very hard to work with in the begining since it likes to droop. Milliput is similar to white apoxie but a bit better imo. We will see how well it takes the paint. I expect it to take it better then white apoxie, hopefully just as good as pink apoxie. That one took paint so well.
