Superman The Movie - Custom 3.75 inch action figure project and Palitoy / Kenner cardbacks *FULLY PAINTED PHOTOS*

[NakedMoleRat]

Here's another option with a Gotham City matte painting backdrop. I'm liking this one.

Give me a Keaton Batman next to a Reeves Superman and I‘m Golden!

I'm closing the list on these. Valuable lesson learned about spending a lot of money on a commission that turned out to be of little interest to anyone except me. Sadly. that means I won't be doing the other characters. At least I've got some nice cards to look at.

Mods - Please delete the thread.

Shame. Those cardbacks are pretty awesome still. How many cardbacks did you end up making?

Hey Chris,

Do not have this thread removed please. These are not regular times and folks may not have had an opportunity to watch your incredible work ... so orders may still come in over time

I'm grateful to be able to enjoy your hard labour when my Palitoy Superman arrives soon

Here's my "rough" painted Superman figure (I'm no painter) on my custom Kenner Superman The Movie card alongside a "Smith Lord Creations" Kenner Stormtrooper carded figure. Their figures are professionally made at a factory in China but I'm thrilled to be able to say that my card is every bit as authentic looking and has a neater trimming job and shelf hanger hole punched. LOL.

Your painted Superman looks great. Nice work. Leave the threads up. Maybe when people see how awesome the Superman looks painted and in the package you might get some more interest.

Thanks. It was really just painted as a test to try out the colours. I used a selection of Tamiya paints straight out of the pot and just brush painted it without thinning the paint. I also messed up the chest logo decal because I didn't paint the background for it white enough or extend it out far enough to the edge of the engraved outline on the figure (that's why there is a darker border on the outside edges because the blue tunic colour is showing through the decal which was printed onto transparent decal paper. Overall, it's cool to see a painted figure on the card though after all these months of looking at just the grey render or grey primer painted figures.

Your painted Superman looks great. Nice work. Leave the threads up. Maybe when people see how awesome the Superman looks painted and in the package you might get some more interest.

Supes looks good, looks just like it would if it were an authentic period figure.

Thanks Riceball. That's exactly what I have tried REALLY hard to achieve, so I'm glad that you think it looks authentic to the period.

This looks excellent. You did a fantastic job on the paint.

All my art, from models to furniture to paintings, I do to please only myself (and maybe my wife). So I have loved this thread. Its the kind of magnificent obsession to obscure detail that makes the RPF great!

Finally received a loose Mattel DC Multiverse Keaton Batman figure to try out with my custom cardback. VERY happy with how it looks. Just waiting on a bubble tall enough to use with the card because my standard bubbles aren't quite tall enough to fit the ears inside!

Jim Bowers from www.capedwonder.com just received his figures and cards. In his own words, here's what he had to say about them:

"Hi Chris! Wow! Wow!
Absolutely marvelous!!!!!!
Thanks SO much! What an amazing project!!!!! You deserve a rousing applause!
Your cards are absolutely perfect. I feel like I just opened a package from 1978!!!"

These are legit!!! Super happy with them. Chris did a fantastic job on them as you can see, and is great to work with.

By popular demand, I've added the John Wesley Shipp 90's The Flash TV Series to the Kenner cards.

Just finished off my Kenner Robocop card.

I used a Robocop 3 image on my first attempt. D'oh!
Here's the corrected version with an image of Weller in the costume from the first movie.

 

[shaunsheep]

Finished the back of the Robo card. I love doing these things!
