More old timey characters for a customer, Tarantula here wears one of the more interesting suits from the time.

•Lots of random DCUC parts, John Stewart, Starman, Catman, Firestorm torso with details sanded away. Sculpted the calf pouches.

•Head cast from kidsoul777 on ebay, sculpted mask. He makes really good casts for cheap and is considering taking commissions for enlarging or shrinking heads. If you buy stuff, tell him I sent you. :)

•Formula P3 paints over primer, VHT vinyl dye for a durable basecoat. Free-handed everything.

Yus the pouches were good practice, I gave them a light wash to bring out the sculpt.

Cool beans about the VHT, id like to read about others' experience with it.

Yeah sculpted all at once. Just start with flat little blobs like rounded squares, then add all the detail with a flat tipped tool.
