So my last few figures have been bigger projects leading up to my 200th figure (don't worry after 200 here I'll go back to slowly, and silently keeping track). For #200 I decided to make Fierce Deity Link from Majora's Mask out of a Marvel Legends Machine Man to be approximately to scale with the Skyward Sword Link Figma figure, and to make it truly special, I took Machine man all apart to shave down, and super glued parts of the joints, so there will be no paint wear. This is my first time taking apart a 6in figure, so it was a little roughly done, but I think it went well. He's all put back together now, and so far no paint wear at all, I couldn't be happier, I just keep playing with him in disbelief. Before I put him back together as you can see, I put the segmented ab armor on him cut from sheets of styrene. When armor is segmented like that, I find it much easier, and looks much nicer than sculpting it layer by layer. Had to tech myself to make swords now too, with such a funky blade, the picture is pretty rough cut, but I'm shaving it down to proper shape, then will do a rough shave at an angle on the sides for the blade, and polish it up by hand with some sandpaper. Crazy amount of work already, and so much more to go!
