Captain Viktory

That shield turned out FANTASTIC! Nicely painted too.

Really great, man. I wanna see him with the rest of your army now.

underwear? cap is no tights wearing flimsy hero ... he is the full constipated package! a hero through and through... a knucklesandwich without the toastcrust cut off... he wears no cape and no underwear... what do you take him for? supes? HA! besides... he has rivets on his shield!

i am so gonna have to postpone now my other objectives now to make a red skull mini just so that he has someone to kick around and push their face into his shield

NICE WORK VIK
Construction, Paint work and design A+ mate now you must build red skull

Nice one Vik - he was well worth the wait. Great stance and the shield is top notch

Wow, love him- especially the little things like the worn-down look around the rivets on his shield

thanks mates... yeah... a red skull is definatly in the making... maybe even today i am able to come up with some testings considering what bitz i would like to use...

see you later guys!

Vik, what happened to your League Terrain Competition entry?

That is REALLY a nice Cpt Victory!
Nicely done - pose, color, everything nicely fits together.
Now get that skully thingie

thanks klaus... as i write this i am now thinking of your shield bearing entry team of your new dio... i think the pose is somewhat similar to your fellas soon?

at ruglud...well... i started a boat... in cardboard... but life in general and then my attention span had me taken away from that project... took me three starts and i finally put everything on the shelf of shame for later visiting the project...

soon... soon... the red skull will emerge^^

ha!
That sounds sooooo familiar :(
Short attention spans, busy schedule, and more inspiration than any sane person could safely handle...

i really should invest in something like this i guess:



all those inspirationa particles that fly around all of the time...bugger...^^

Reynolds brand aluminum foil keeps out 25% more government brain-scanning waves than the generic brand does.

It's cheaper to just have nothing going on up there worth watching.

Looking good vik!!!

That's really excellent bud. Makes me want to do a winta solja!

Oh good going vik..excellent job on the Cap there

Excellent work indeed Vik... He'd have my vote. I especially love the shield's weathering. Looks suitably worn for a hero that uses it daily...

LOL... well... wouldn´t color me as a brainy guy...so i guess monitoring my brain goes and woes would not be that government interesting...HA! fooled ya, didn´t i? d´oh...*drools*...


on a related issue...

red skull sightings have been frequently reported throughout the empire... tho captain viktory is always valiantly roaming the lands of the queeny... this evil scheming fella has his treacherous hands into some nefarious deeds...


or to put it another way...i´ve begun working on the red skull character... atm i am sieving through my vast bitzbox collections...

i started with this model:



my first metal beheading action ever! getting the pinning hole inside and making room for the selected head and neck part was quite tricky i tell you...but in the end the material gave in to my will...

here is a selection of skull heads...courtesy of RS Jake....atm i am leaning towards the grey one on the left... tho the peakcaped one is also a good choice... the pickel haube head i think would over do it...or do you think this might be a good choice in some steampunky context?

sorry poor pic quality...

and this is a plan i have for the left hand of red skull...atm he is holding his cigar stubb... but i intend to saw off this hand and replace it with some fancy stuff... i guess you could now speak your mind to the fullest here... i am open to suggestions as usual!



by the way... couldn´t find pics... but didn´t red skull used to wear some kind of powerfist device? some bigger red fist? or am i mixing stuff with hellboy now???

anyways... looking forward to your feed back!


cheers, vik

I cant really make a call on this one as to the head depends on the look you want, as for the body I think it could work well with a little tweak.

Found a couple of pics that might help :

And the other pic is for well you can work it out

well i am going for the leader look with red skull... so no real melee look but a little bit of waeponry on him for sure...

and well... dr. doom... of course him...

Thought you would like the last one, the first was a bit extreme mind

yup... when doing a quick google search i came up with similar looking pics... seems there is a new more skinhead related red skull these days around... i don´t like that at all... too much realism... we have these idiots running around way too often for real... but the classic buffoon is somthing that is quite cool in it´s own way...

Yes, not really a fun image to portray, all the others I found was covered in swastika's

The top pic was more for the face any way good luck with the build

HOW DARE YOU COMPARE DOOM TO THAT PITIFUL WEAKLING RED SKULL. DOOM DOES NOT LOSE TO KITSCHY THEMED HEROES! DOOM DOES NOT LOSE AT ALL!!
