This is HAVOK, during this time with the X-Men. He was a 'request', done in a hybrid style that combines the blond actor / chest plate design from X-Men: First Class film with the 1st X-Men movies Leather tactical suit look. I added a magnet stack under the chest disc, and embedded magnets in 'blasts'. The chest disc was originally a button, and Havok's head was originally a ML Angel head cast that I sanded down and re-sculpted (with ML Punisher ears) with Aves Apoxie Sculpt to resemble the actor from 'First Class'. The blasts I created from an extra Mattel 'Blazing Sword' Volton figure, along with Aves Apoxie Sculpt. Painted with Vallejo Silver/Gunmetal, then Citadel magenta Ink. The blasts attaches to the chest magnetically, and can store on a small magnetic platform for separate display. Painted with Mr. Color lacquer paints first, and details added with Vallejo acrylics. The neck area, chest disc and connecting areas on the blasts were all sealed with liquid type KrazyGlue, then finished with Matte varnish. The main sifure was sealed with Citadel Glossy Varnish (black suit) and Vallejo Matte Varnish (Head/neck/magenta areas). Enjoy. :) ![]() |

@saber4734: thanks, ill fix my typo later today.
Theres two types of thinner for MrColor, and one actually acts as a paint drying retardant, making things apply more smoothly with a brush, and dry with a nicer surface. I put them in eyedropper topped medicine bottles for easier use. Most colors are in glossy, but some come in matte or semigloss. Just watch what your getting. You can also get an additive for the glossy that makes it into either a smooth finish matte, or 'rough' surface matte when dried.
For vallejo paints, theyre just normal acrylics, but work best with their specially forumated acyrlic thinner solution. Always paint lacqur paints first, then acrylics and varnishes on top of that - never the other way around. Lacqur paint appied over top of nonfactory paints peels/chemically reacts with the lacqur when applied in the wrong order.
If anyone needs paint advice, ill help with what I can. Just drop me an email. blaynescott@gmail(dot)com
Thanks again for past and future comments on this cusom. It was a blast to make.
