Here's the 5th of a series of Action Master Customs I've been doing over the last year or so. If you're interested and inclined, the photo threads can be found here (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=25238) and here (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=26250).
Today's subject - Skyfall and Top Heavy. Using the Highbrow mould plus resin cast face from a Titan Master Apeface (a perfect match!). Painted head to toe, including a gorgeous metallic plum that the photos don't do justice to. I used a mix of 4 SMS lacquers including 2 shades of their new pearl range which give a beautiful shimmer. Masking all of the areas on the helicopter cockpit and the feet/lower legs was a real pain but worth it. I finished with Reprolabel/Toyhax faction symbols and a few offcuts that I made using the cut lines from a Highbrow sticker set, for minor detailing.
I initially wasn't planning on including Top Heavy but when I saw Siege Lionizer, I just had to. I resin cast copies of the legs, head and tail, and modified the head to include horns made of Styrene. Due to issues with disassembly, I needed to secure the tail - it no longer folds into the body.
Anyway, pics (including some outdoor ones by Kurtis Moore, @shadow_maru00 on Instagram, used with permission):
