that fig kicks ass
See, that's damn awesome! I wish McFarlane would put kickass articulation like that into the figures!
Holy shit!
Super-nice, as always, man.
Great, great work!
Fantastic! Now send it to me. [img]wink.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
that is sweet! [img]wink.gif[/img]
CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP!
BRAVO!
[img]eek.gif[/img] now thats how they should have been made! great job!
I know I'm in the minority... but I was never a huge fan of that figure. Liked the bandana and on the other version, the eyepiece, but never really liked him standing there with all the grenades and guns.
Your version, I really really like. He doesn't look like he's weighed down by all that gear, he looks more mobile...
... I also like the camo-ish paint. Far better than the all red or all green. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Thanks all!
I did intend to make an eyepiece for this one, but I just couldn't find the parts to do it good, and I couldn't bring myself to open up my hamburger head version one to get the eyepiece from it. Admitted, I am not a fan of any hamburger head spawn... I like the mask... however, I kind of like him just like this too.
I sort of dig the "armed to the teeth" look, but as Baimun said, the sleekness has an appeal too. I am still going to paint all his weapons, and see how it looks. Probably won't attach them all to him at once though, just use them for when I change the poses (every now and then, I go around and repose all my figures).
Glad y'all dig it! Thanks again!!
wow.
wow.
that kicks ass. I don't have the words to describe how much ass, but it's a LOT.
I agree with Baimun, the original looked kinda weighted down. yours looks like he could run a few dozen laps while blowing away a shitload of folks. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] [img]cool.gif[/img]
[img]eek.gif[/img] [img]rolleyes.gif[/img] Kicking ass and taking names!! [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
very nice job!
Ok... finally finished the dang thing... the painting took forever... lotsa details!
What I did here is add some articulation... the neck is on a ball joint now, and the legs are pretty much completely rebuilt. I used some Punisher legs from the Marvel Legends line, and dremeled off the knee pads and pouches he had. Then I chopped up the "Spawn" details on the Spawn IV legs, the two boots and the spiked cuff, and then dremeled them into shape to fit onto the Punisher legs, so they were all articulated and Spawny. Then I built the pouches and belts on his legs from various fodder... trying to look kind of like the original legs, but taking some liberties. I then transferred the belt skull to the new legs.
I was gonna do the red color scheme, but wanted more military like the green repaint, so I set out to do that. I started messing around with the drybrush phase, and ended up doing a drybrush camo effect. Subtle, but I like it.
So now, a more posable Arsenal of Doom Spawn IV. And yes, he will have all his other guns, I just havent finished painting them all yet.
Let me know what you think!

The neck I made is actually longer than the original! [img]eek.gif[/img]
I cut the head off, added the punisher's neck (minus a few millimeters cut off the bottom, then epoxy puttied the gaps), then added the balljoint.
VERY nice work man. I have to say, this is one of, if not the best, Spawn customs I have ever seen. Also, you have always had great painting skills, but I think you are getting better all the time.

That one took an obnoxious amount of time to paint too... [img]wink.gif[/img] It's nice to know it was worth it and well received!!
I have a feeling this next one's gonna be another very involved paint job too... if I could only decide what colors to use... [img]eek.gif[/img]
