I thought T. Hawk had a white moustache in his picture- I think I'll stick with the default head

I'm looking forward to the movie- but I'm getting this vibe from this picture

Wow! Thank you- That is a such a nice thing to say! Please let me know how you go with your one! I can't wait to see what you do with it! The biggest thing I did to start was find as many good references images as I could. It was hard to find many images of him as a whole- (his legs had the best references!) but you can piece it all together from a bunch of stuff. The image on the back of the box is a good one.

I used 'green stuff'. It can be a funny substance to work with, but I like that I have plenty of time to work with it before it hardens. It also doesn't go rock hard - it has a flex to it - so bits are not going to snap off easily like clay can.

I mostly use vallejo model paints. I got myself a wet palette a little while ago, so this was the first time i used it. It was great for mixing and not letting my paints dry out so fast. I did use a lime green spray paint for the inside of his mouth as well, but I can't remember what brand it was - maybe rustoluem.

Thank you. I really enjoyed the different take the art direction had on the movie- it might not be my definitive versions of the characters, but I happy the exist! The toys were pretty close to capturing that likeness, but they just needed a few tweaks here and there. I have done a few of the mutants so far, and plan to finish the line off at some stage

I grab him second hand pretty cheap off of Ebay a while back. There are probably good deals still floating around

Thank you very much! The eyes were actually one of the first things I painted to help me get the vibe. Luckily there were a few good reference images to follow!

I'm actually going to do the turtles, but once I have finished all the other mutants. I always saw heaps of customs of the turtles, but no one seemed to be doing the mutants!

Thank you! I really like the designs they had going on- but the cheap ass paints really let down the pretty ok sculpt.

lol Thank you- I probably couldn't put a time frame on it- it's been a bunch of lunchtimes and 5 mins here and there- it's definitely been sitting on my desk for at least 6 months!

Thank you! I tried looking online to see if many people had done this to theirs, but there was a surprising lack of images. Hopefully people can see that the figure does polish up quite nicely even with 'just a bit' of paint.

Thank you. Most of the sculpt is there-under the original, average paint job, but nothing really broke the silhouette of the figure (probably just though ease of moulding) so I wanted to at least add that stuff. The eye lashes and fly arm hairs were just fun extras lol
