Another custom based on Marvel Studio's movie. This time, arch enemy of Captain America, played by the talented Hugo Weaving,

I used Bullseye´s head. I applied epoxy and I cut his nose. So, I had to chose parts to assemble the body. I had imagined every parts on my mind which. But when I was mounting, I saw the figure was 1.5 cm higher than the Captain. Unfortunately I had to replace Magneto's boots by the Punisher ML, to keep scale.

Another problem was Magneto´s arm have no double articulation. So I switched to ML Longshot. I had to make some extra cuts in arm, to not looks like too big, as gorilla. So, I modeled sleeves and arms´s details in epoxi.

But, biggest challenge was the coat. There aren't nothing, even close, in any figure of 6" that I could use. So I decided to make my own version. I had done a coat before, for Pyro X3 , but had used colored glue, and it was water soluble, even with sealer. I had to think of another solution. One night, came a idea to use rubber blanket. And so I did. Unfortunately, I chose a coat with a lot of details to test new technique. But, in fact, I like final result. More yet because it was the first time I have used. The coat is very flexible and allow more movements for joints than the originals coats.

So, I made buttons and belt's buckle, with the symbol of the Hydra, with epoxy, and I pasted them on coat. I used vinyl paints and dry brush technique in the head, neck and buckle.
