I took a 5 Inch movie Aquaman figure and used apoxie sculpt to cover the joints and confine it to the pose that I wanted. Once the sculpt was dry, I repainted his suit and added some detail work. I also added details to his face, hair, and included 2 seperate tridents to be swapped at will. One is clean and new, the other used and dirty. I then began work on the elaborate base. I took a wooden oval base and sculpted some shark fins into the sides. Then I took a pet store rock meant for fishtanks and glued it into the middle. I then began the process of making some walls that could hold the epoxy resin to make the water. Then once that was dry I took off the makeshift walls and added some waves with another product meamt to create waves on top of resin casts.it was quite a bit of work but I'm happy with how it turned out. I also made a YouTube video where I went over the process from start to finish and it also includes a much better look at the final product than I can display here so feel free to check it out if interested. My channel name is the same name as on here.   Please wait... |

The base
I had a lot of fun coming up with the idea of this base and then actually being able to pull it off. It was the first time I've ever made a resin vast of this size and I was afraid it wouldnt go well. Before this, the most resin I've casted was for afew puddles so making this inch thick oval cast around the base was a big step up for me.
Before and After
It was just a simple cheap little 5 Inch figure when I started but I was able to turn it into something with a bit more spectacle. Ots really hard to get everything in one shot sith this custom because of its size and shape, which is why I feel like the YouTube video I made for it does it alot more justice than these photos.
