So I decided to take the first 6" Deadpool I made and redo him.  Back when I made him, I was still learning different painting techniques and looking back, I wasn't too crazy about him.

So, I stripped him of all his paint, re-did the paint job, and added accessories which he didn't have before.  Let me know what you think.

After:

Hey all, just thought I'd drop in and mention a few words regarding some new'ish sculpting putty that you guys may not be aware of.

Just got my order today of "ProCreate".  I tried it on a few things like shoulder pads, foot armor, etc.  I gotta say....this may be my go to epoxy (not even sure if it's "epoxy").
I've never used greenstuff, so I'm not sure if it's like greenstuff.  My only experience is with Aves and Milliput products.  So far, from the very little I've used of it, here are some things I've noticed.

* Is no where near as messy as Aves Milliput.

* Has a more plastic like feel, which is great for my kind of customs

* Takes details VERY easy.  This is especially important, as I didn't have to mess around with using it much at all.  I pretty much shaped it, put little details into it, and that's it.  I've found Aves to be a pain to work at times.

* It's harder to work with...literally, when you mix the 2 parts, it's not soft like Aves.  I know with Aves and Milliput, you need to let it sit some time to thicken up to be able to work with it, but problem with that, is that by then, it starts to lose it's stickyness so it then ends up hard to stick to plastic.  Not the case with ProCreate.

I don't know how well it'll work for sculpting things like faces or other organic stuff, but so far....I'm really liking it. 

Literally, in a few minutes, I mixed it and was able to put on the foot armor, should pads and leg band without any issues, no mess, and really easy.  It also appears to be much smoother and plastic like.

I know you guys are probably getting tired of my non-Star Wars customs, but here goes another.
This one is of DC's supervillain, Deathstroke.  He's of my own concept design, because usually Deathstroke sports a full helmet, and I decided to have him sport a face mask of sorts.

He was made from a 4.5 Hyperion figure, and every single armor piece is fully sculpted.

I've put him up on Ebay just in case anyone is interested.

Hope you enjoy:

Really nice job on Deathstroke. I think the hockey mask (a la Casey Jones) works for this character.

Sculpt work is great. I for one am not getting tired of your non SW Customs. Let me go share this and your auction link on our pages.

Thanks a lot.

And for all the SW fans, here goes my latest mando.  I really like how this one turned out.  I went back and forth as to whether or not I should make the helmet removable (was initially thinking of gluing it on the head), but decided to go all out.

I wish I could say he was over complicated to make, but the truth is, the parts are really basic.  The trick is coming up with a design that makes an average figure look above average, with a proper painting scheme to go along with it.

He was made using the following:
Helmet - Jango helmet with the parts cut out.
Head - from an Alpha Blanx figure, facial hair painted in.
Body - GI Joe Retaliation alley viper
Should pads - sculpted on using Procreate
Belt - leather strip (or fake leather, not sure) from Michaels
Back pack - from some gi joe figure, not sure.  Tempted to say it came from the Dreadnoks pack from Bigbadtoystore.
Chain - from Michaels
Pouches on belt - cut out from a 6" captain america figure's vest
Soft goods on back - cut out from old pair of shorts

The rest is just painting and weathering.
