For any MMA fans reading this, you should know; but if you don't Anderson Silva's nickname is "The Spider". He references "Spider-man" as his role model. I wanted to try a custom, I had purchased this Figure and to me it was a no brainier. To my knowledge this is the only one of its kind.

This is my FIRST Custom figure. This started as a curious project and ended as my new hobby. I used Epoxy to mold head, the eyes, front and back logo, as well as the "boots" hand painted everything. Used Gray all surface primer as the first coat. all other paint was done with Acrylic paint.

The most difficult aspect of the entire custom had to of been forming the front logo. It turned out much larger than I had planned. Given it being my first time using Epoxy, I'm happy with the entire Custom.

I did learn how using too much paint causes issues with Articulation. I don't plan on ever parting with this Custom so its not an issue for me. He is my trophy.

Haha thank you. I have done two more with epoxy since. The last one I finished was uber tricky, so many small areas to fill. It was a stuborn one. Nevertheless, many thanks!

Well done. It's taken me two years and I'm still working to scale down small details. Keep at it and it'll come. Nice start though.

Im very hesitant to scale down. I have an idea for a fun theme but its probably going to be awhile. Any advice you have for details, please feel free to offer them!

I personally would have sculpted the main body, got it to the size I liked and then went back and added the legs. I tend to sculpt a little at a time or else it tends to end up being too big.

I'm going to try this for my next custom. do you have any suggestions on now to disconnect the figure appendages? Are they easy to put back on after painting and sculpting?

Many thanks! I had no clue where to begin. JonnyVu inspired me with his Instagram pix. I had to eHow to learn how to actually do it. Im having troubles with the paint limiting articulation, if you have any advice; my mind is wide open for suggestions.

You chose my favorite super hero as your first custom and you did a fantastic job!!! I especially like the head!! Those UFC figures have some great articulation. Looking forward to seeing more from you.
