Namaste

Well I've been a little lazy lately, so I only have one new figure for you. To make up for it I'll throw up a couple of oldies, but goodies. The first one is in honor of Lost ending. Say what you will about the end(I was satisfied) of the show, it is a fantastic show and has been from the get go.

I started off with John Locke. He's been one of my favorites through the whole show. All in all I'm happy with him, but I'm not 100% on the head. It was the best bald head I could find and I tried to rework it a little. I'm going to keep mt eyes open for a better head and hopefully update him at some point.

I tried making a little display base for him. I used some sand and plastic plants. It turned out pretty decent, but I definitely learned a couple of things to avoid on the next one. I also gave him his metal case full of knives. I even made it so all of the knives are removeable.

Now I really want to make some more of the Losties.

Headbanger face rip!

Ok so this isn't last week like I said, but I got caught up in a big project. I got to thinking "what are my customs lacking?". The answer, metal. My geekdom basically revolves around toys, heavy metal, and horror movies. I decided I should try and blend the three and this is what I came up with.

It's the Mech-cannibal and the wolves of Chernobyl. They're both based on songs off of the new Municipal Waste album, Massive Aggressive. If you haven't listened to them and you like good old fashioned thrash with a little hardcore thrown in you should check them out. Anyway, on to the customs.

The Mech-cannibal is part man part machine and hungry for human flesh. He savagely attacks his victims and devours their bodies. Whatever is left he throws into the vat of chemical waste strapped to his back to slowly digest them and fuel his murderous rampages.

I had a lot of fun working on this guy. I used a new painting technique called a wash. I've never been able to get it right in the past, but I really like how it creates a deeper shadow than just dry brushing. I gives him an almost moldy rotten feel.

The wolves of Chernobyl are beasts of the night created by radioactive waste from the Chernobyl disaster. They roam the country side looking for their next kill.

Well there you go, let me know what you think.
