Bigger Boa Redux - WIP

[XOC2008]

After my previous collab BB with MSWI falling to the floor and doing damage to the sculpt work, I had started on a new version of the big guy. I knew what I wanted but until recently, wasn't sure enough about my skills with combining one figure's pelvis with another's torso. But with some practice, and with an Ares at my disposal, I attached the lower portion of Ares to the Herc lower torso. (which lengthened the torso a little and makes him look a bit better proportioned) I still have to get some apoxy to do some filling, some touch up paint, and figure out what I'm doing with the lower legs, but thus far it works how I want it.

Those are some good looking proportions!

For a man with a wife you sure do a lot of work on half naked men figurines.

Something looks off on the left wrist. Could be the angle.

 

[XOC2008]

I think it's the angle, nothing's changed with the arms since the last time.

Coming along, just needs a few more pieces to finish it off, and a small amount of detail and touchup paint. I strung some thread between an extra set of the BB gloves so they can hang around his neck thusly:

That, my friend, is fucking pimp.

That, my friend, is fucking pimp.

Thanks! Hopefully it will still evoke that response when he's complete.

Unless you're gonna paint him day-glo pink and green like it's 1990 I don't see how you fuck it up.

Nah, but I got a special photo shoot planned. MSWI is going to put together another Balboa custom and send it to me for pics and I'm gonna pit them against one another Rocky v Drago style, and we'll just see who would actually win.

A couple more for shits and giggles:

 

[Dark Horse]

Epic win!

 

[ska_lives]

Great improvement over v.1!

Simply amazing. Inspired work, I love it

 

[K-Tiger]

Huh, I thought the full-length pants looked better.

Thanks!

I think they did too. I'm considering dying these black to match the uppers, but the other ones were blue and didn't match. However, it also helps break up the all black that would just run down into the boots, if I keep the flesh colored lowers.
