Re: Space 1999 Eagle Transporter Build Club UPDATE 03 January (PIC HEAVY!)
F3nri5 asked me if I could post a few pics, expaining a little about how I made the figures for LMFAOSchwarz's eagle build, so here is a mega quick breakdown on one of the figures, with a few pics for illustration purposes.
I started with this basic World War 2 soldier (Sorry about the pic quality):
After assembly, it was just a case of using a craft knife and sandpaper to remove all the collars, belts, breast pockets etc details, so that the figure was nice and smooth.
I then started to sculpt new details onto the figure, such as the new jacket and covering the gaiters with trouser extensions. These are then tidied up and, when dry are sanded to blend them into the figure.
Lastly, the helmet is glued on and carved/sanded down to match the rest of the head.
When I am happy that the figure is where I want it, I will spray a coat of plastic primer and then spray a coat of white primer before finally hand painting to add the details etc...here is the finished figure
And here are two final pictures of the five figures together. My favourite is the security guard. I loved making his stun gun and commlock.
I hope that was of some interest to you, F3nri5 - or anyone else for that matter!
