This is an Agent Phil Coulson appreciation post.

ALL OF MY APPRECIATIONS

As I said during the film, Fuck you, Joss Whedon.

Hey, it’s the cover that inspired my mod:

Speedball

On the continuing subject of Figures I’d Never Think I’d Make, Speedball. Again for the Spainish Gent, this figure is made from Supernova Ant Man mostly. Good bit of sculpting and having a lot of fun putting together his speedballs. (I have no idea what they’re called.) 

The Speedballs are silica gel balls, from one of those packets that say “DO NOT EAT”. It was fun to put together, because it was a process of dripping hot glue into some silica gel balls, waiting for it to cool, adding more glue, adding more balls. Good times.

Mach 1

Commission for a Gent in Spain. I made him from Firebrand from Armor Wars and a hell of a lot of green stuff. Fun sculpting, fun painting. Couldn’t find a picture of this armor’s back, so I had to make it up. I shipped the mod to Spain a few months back, so I don’t have him to take better pictures with, sadly.

Bought a pack of Web of Spider-Man, got a totally broken figure #heroclix (Taken with instagram)

I have a hypothesis very few people will get this. (Taken with instagram)

Dex-Starr

So, in the comic books, there’s the Green Lanterns, who are basically Space Police with magic rings powered by their Will. 

Recently, a whole spectrum of Lanterns of different colors, each tied to a different emotion have been introduced. Amongst these are the Red Lanterns, whose Rings are powered by Rage. 

The artist who was charged with drawing the first crowd scene of the Red Lanterns drew in, as a joke, his cat Dexter in the background as a Red Lantern. The writer loved the idea so much he named the cat Dex-Starr and turned him into a major character in the Red Lantern Corps. 

I freaking love that there’s a housecat who’s an avatar of rage now. As such, I’d been vaguely meaning to make myself a mod of him. HCRealms just had a Secret Santa gift exchange and I was delighted to find my chosen giftee had a Dex-Starr Mod on his list.

Hence, why there are two Dex-Starrs in the images. The first hard part of this mod was finding a Housecat in the right scale. The base figure is from an O-Scale Train Accessories store, Scenic Express, the burst of red is from Azrael and it think it managed to work reasonably well. The second hard part was then painting the whole thing on a remarkably small size. 

Luckily, the recipient loved it!

I ended opening up mine a bit early because of a trade offer that was pending….

AND I GOT SOMETHING SO AMAZING I COULDN’T BELIEVE IT!!!

A CUSTOM DEX-STARR!!!!

Xlii you ROCK!!!!

For all those that want to see, he said he would be putting it up on his blog sometime soon, for it has a brother! (dun dun DAH!)
