White Queen to Wonder Woman Conversion Project

This is a conversion project that was finished recently.  What started as a pre-finished

statue from Sideshow Collectibles of the Marvel character Emma Frost/The White

Queen-  was converted by re-sculpting & painting to a version of Wonder Woman (52).

Most of the re-sculpting was done with epoxy putty.  The paints used included acrylics,

enamels & lacquers.  Some additional shading was done with pastels.  Bare Metal Foil

was used for most of the metallic areas.  The figure is 1/5 scale & stands approximately

16.5" tall.

Here are pictures of the finished figure.

Here are some various work in progress pictures, starting with a photo of what the figure 

originally looked like.

Bomber Belle Part 2- Paint

Here is the finished painted version of the Bomber Belle figure-  as described in part 1, this

is both a pin-up figure & a tribute to the U.S. Army Air Corps of WWII.

This is a resin casting of the original sculpture from the previous post.  The figure is approx-

imately 1/8 scale (about 7.5" tall on a 6"x8" base).  The paints used included acrylics,
enamels & lacquers (along with some pastel shading).  The lettering on the bomb was done

done with dry transfers.

This was another commission project for Kitkong's Model Mansion & eventually kits should

be available.

Bomber Belle Part 1- Sculpt

Here is a recently finished project.   In this part I am showing some work in progress photos
of the sculpture.  This is another World War II pin-up type figure, along the same lines as
the Rosie the Riveter figure.  This is also a tribute to the U.S. Army Air Corps-  in addition
to some uniform elements & equipment, the figure is sitting on a small scale version of a
1000 lb. aerial bomb.

The sculpture is approximately 1/8 scale.  In addition to the aluminum armature wire, the
materials used included-  sculpey, epoxy putty, styrene, misc. plastic parts & wood for the
base.

Paint- Wonder Woman

Here is a project that I finished recently.  It is a resin kit that was originally sculpted by
Roberto von Behr from Brazil.  The figure is 1/6 scale, about 13" tall (including the base).
The paints used were mostly acrylics, but some enamels & lacquers were also used.
Bare metal foil was used for the metallic parts.

Rosie the Riveter

This is a recent project that I both sculpted and painted.  It is based (somewhat) on the
image of Rosie the Riveter from World War II.  Taking elements from both Norman
Rockwell's painting & the "We Can Do It!" poster-  then creating more of a pin-up
version of the character.  I was provided with the base & some of the scenic elements-
beam, tool box & 55 gal. drum.  The figure, gloves, lunch box & rivet gun are all my
sculpting.  This is a resin cast of my original sculpt.  It is approximately 1/8 scale & is
about 8.75 in. tall-  with a base of 5x7 in.  Materials used included-  sculpey, epoxy
putty & styrene.  The air line for the rivet gun is actually a length of insulated wire with
a small hex nut & a short piece of brass tubing for a connector.

This was a commission project for KitKong's Model Mansion & a limited number of resin
kits are available.
