My Custom Mods [mod 24]: WINTER SOLDIER

Huh. I was certain I hit “Publish” on that Runaways article I promised for last week, but it didn’t happen, I guess. Now it’s time for another Monday mod article, so the Runaways will have to wait until Tuesday.

WINTER SOLDIER (Avengers)

Nice that they painted him in his Bucky costume colors. The trouble with that is, well, he never really wore his Bucky costume colors as the Winter Soldier:.

That's blue-black leather, yo.

I like my clix sculpts a lot more comic-accurate than that. So here’s what I did:

  • Painted mask with solid black acrylic paint.
  • Painted blue clothes with a translucent black ink wash.

 

Completed mid-2009. Simple and the thing looks WAY better.

Next Monday: Instead of painting one near-black, I go completely the other way.
Tomorrow: The Runaways!

Later this week: I actually never finished my Event Dials series, leaving the final (?) two — Warrior Madness and Atlantis Attacks from Hammer of Thor — unexamined. I rectify that oversight.

And, speaking of Atlantis…

By Friday: A look at every extant figure bearing this keyword, including Aquaman from the soon-to-be-released Brightest Day action pack!
