Another modern figure converted into a more classic look.

I dremeled off and sanded down the icy spikes all over this figure, and making the head nice and smooth.

I got a sheet of clear styrene, cut a belt shape off and stuck it on. Never used styrene before, and it could have gone better but I'm fine with it.

The most simple of paint jobs involved dry brushing white and silver, and making the X logo on the belt.

A painless custom that I really like!

If I could make the feet more shoe-like, I would, but there are no readily available ones for it. But I can live with the bare ice feet.

Thanks for looking!

Another thing, have you looked at Translucent Sculpey or Fimo? I bought a purple chunk of it a while ago and it has a milky translucent rock effect when baked, might work here for the shoes since you painted a little white and silver over it anyway

If we got this then I would have actually bought Iceman. Although I feel like the head is too rounded. He had a semi-blocky look when lee drew him mostly attributed to his hair style. Regardless, bravo

Such a deceptively simple, but effective custom. I love the retro look you have given him, the belt looks great the sanding is impeccable and I love the detailed dry-brushing paint work. It really adds new depth to him. Well done.

For belts, I don't bother using styrene, it's too stiff and unnatural looking. Plus it'll scrape your paintjob if you grab the figure the wrong way.

Try using electrical tape, cut a length of it and fold it in on itself "hog dog" style so the edges are neat and there are no exposed sticky parts.

God forbid a man made of ice had parts to him that look stiff an unnatural

I know we're just goofing around, because no one seriously cares what Iceman's underwear is made of, but...

I've been mountaineering in single digit temperatures, my clothes have never been frozen stiff. It's mainly because the materials theyre made of are designed to repel water and stay flexible, which im sure is a bit of foresight the X-Men would have when designing their uniforms too, so I doubt Iceman would suffer from Stiff Belt Syndrome, an affliction that plagues as many as 30% of all customs produced today. rofl

It looks fine
