This is my Bald Eagle action figure. He's supposed to be wearing a red, white, and blue suit with yellow buttons. All were made with excessive amounts of Sculpey. | |
This is, of course, a side view. I wanted to show you how I stuck the wings back on. | |
This is a front view of his head. I cut off the wings on the side of Hawkman's head and made lenses out of Super Sculpey. It's supposed to look like he's wearing an aviator's cap from around WWII. | |
This is the side view of his head. The ear parts were supposed to be attached to the lenses but I didn't do that. Also I was trying to show you the straps on the side of his mask. | |
Materials: Total Justice Hawkman, X-Acto knife, Super Sculpey, red, white, blue, brown, black, light tan, and yellow paint. | |
Recipe: | |
1) Cut all parts that stick out off of Hawkman (i.e. Wings on helmet, straps on glove, knife on his leg) with an X-Acto knife. | |
2) Cut the wing holder off of Hawkman's back (not necessary, I just did it to make it look better.) | |
3) Construct pants and jacket with Sculpey, making sure to cover up most of the cuts that you made. | |
4) Add details like lenses, ear pieces, buttons and pockets. | |
5) Bake according to the directions on the Super Sculpey package. | |
6) Start painting. I did all the blue first, then the rest. | |
7) Create the skin tone. I mixed light tan with white to create a nice, yet somewhat pale skin tone. I messed up a few parts and also I just wanted to cover up his gloves, not sand them down. | |
8) Next I did his wings. I wanted to make it look like they popped out of his back so I used the slots that were left over from the old holder and Sculpted the part of the wings that attach to the Bald Eagle to fit in those. I mixed a paint that somewhat matched the top of the wing after I baked them. I painted them and glued them onto his back. | |
There you have it. Eight easy steps to making your own old guy with wings. |
