Custom Stealth Iron Man Marvel Legends Style Figure by Central Cali Customs

Posted by Mig on Friday, April 25, 2008 @ 7:55 PM | PERMALINK | More Custom Figures: Custom Transformers | Custom Marvel Legends | Custom Star Wars | Custom GI Joe
Central Cali Customs has outdone themselves with his Custom Marvel Legends Stealth Iron Man figure. This Sideshow'esque figure is comes packed with articulation and a custom base that looks like Iron Man has unleashed hell on it. Central Cali Customs explains more about how he made this work of art:
  • Researching, the best suitable Action Figure to transform. For example: According to Cable's bio, he is 6ft 8in and 350 lbs. So, I would not use a HULK’s body because he is 1,000 lbs.
  • Once you find all parts, then you Assemble and Sculpt
  • This part is very fun……I used Apoxie Sculpt for a strong finish.
  • Prime the whole body.
  • Paint major parts with correct color accordingly. I do multiple paint 3 to 4 times. I used Testors Model Master Acrylic Flat (unless it's an armor steel character) color paints. These paints are non-toxic and lead free.
  • Wash with darker color to imitate shadow (Where needed).
  • Dry brush with lighter color to imitate highlights (Where needed).
  • Then detailing such as lines, logos, etc.
  • Last and not least, depending on what kind of finish I would like to achieve, I will coat my figure. If I want to get flat comics like finish, then I coat it with dullcoat. If I want to get armor stell finish, then I coat it with glossy coat.
