Custom Agent Ravage WIP

[ChlorHex]

Hey dudes,
it's my first attempt at a custom bot! Yeah! :D
It's meant to be Ravage as he evolves from obedient little G1 kitty cat to Agent Ravage just before the Beast Wars.
Still some touch-ups to be done to the mold and then it'll be painting time.
He fully transformable... it's a simple transformation that's more of an evolution of Ravage than anything else :p

Ohh, very nice! A sculpter too that opens up a world of possibiltities

Are those five Ikea Detolfs you have your figures displayed in?

[Pulse]

I'm guessing this isn't the first time you've had a go at sculpting... :)

First time for toys, Pulse...
I used to do pottery work when I was a student 2 decades back so the skills acquired from making em pots have finally come in handy after along time :p

Yups, good ole detolfs... they're a little narrow tho but for that kinda price you just can't argue :)

Here's a pic of Agent Ravage so far... still WIP.
The eyes have not been painted but I used Microsoft Paint to highlight the eyes bit as the pic is too dark.

Hey guys!
I'd completed Agent Ravage and I'm ecstatic! :) (not that anyone gives a toss)
Do check out the pic and let me know what you think... it's my first so be gentle :p
More pics on me blog :D

I like the metallic finish on the body, the flash of the camera just highlights it further!

[STL]

that's pretty damn nice!

[Pulse]

Looks nice! :)

Were you going for the scratched finish or did the camera do that?

[lcz128]

How'd you sculpt so smoothly? :D Well done :)

[ChlorHex]

Thanks for the positive comments guys :)
It's very encouraging for a newbie.

Oh, was aiming for a battle worn but still very much intact-in-one-piece kinda look for Agent Ravage... the camera just enhanced the effect.

Thanks :D
I'd used a heavy-duty filing tool to file deep into both the KneadIt sculpty (dries in 5 mins) and the plastic... after which it was just mild sanding that gave the smooth finish.

Nice job. Tell us more about this Kneadit putty, I've never seen it before.

Nice job. Tell us more about this Kneadit putty, I've never seen it before.

"A versatile, hand kneadable fast setting epoxy putty that is ideal for repairing, rebuilding, reshaping or restoring almost anything. It can be drilled, filed, machined, screwed, sawn, sanded, stained and painted. Packaged in a handy roll so you can just cut off what you require and save the rest for another day, it hardens in 5-10 minutes, after mixing. Approved for contact with drinking water."

hey gamblor916,
that quote's extracted from the advert for Kneadit. It's really an awesome medium to use for sculpting if you lack the patience like me... I hate waiting for putty to dry (had enough of clay with pottery). Kneadit dries quick so you've got to get the initial shape that you want done up really quickly. After which, you can file and sand it to shape. Really like it as it's rock solid and doesn't break. Made a 2cm x 0.5cm trial roll and couldn't break it after applying considerable pressure. So if you shape a sharp bit, you know it's not going to break easily :)

I gotta try some, the Tamiya putty I use is ok but it's not great.

[ChlorHex]

How long does the Tamiya putty take to harden? I'm also keen on doing re-sculpts for Marvel Legends figures in the near future... KneadIt would be too hard and dries too quickly for human facial sculpts so I'd like to find out what the alternatives are. What else have you used before, gamblor916?

[gamblor916]

Just Tamiya putty which is ok to work with for about an hour. Just picked up some Mori Mori from hlj but haven't tried it yet.
