This was a requested figure that I took on for the sheer challenge. I've never done so much sculpting on a figure, but avoiding such projects won't help me learn. And deep down I've always wanted to fix this guy up. I somewhat like the look, and he seems to be decently popular and under made.
I used a Gladiator head as a base. I cut the fin off, then added a ton of sculpt around it. Smoothed it out, and cut a piece out of the chest. Had to resculpt the helmet a couple of times to make it look right. Fixed up the belt and bracers from there, but found myself stuck on the wings that go on the helmet and buzzsaws. I finally settled on using plastic to finish off the helmet, dremeling in a little and gluing them into place. And then I decided that sanding attachments for my dremel looked to be the best size for the buzzsaws. After a lot of sculpting, sanding, sculpting, sanding, and a little bit more sculpting and sanding, I finally progressed into the repaint and am pretty happy with how this first rendition came out.
