Default Scale drivers coming soon

It's hard to find a unique scale driver, there are the wrestler figures and a good few other resources, like GI Joe for 1/6, the good ones are kind of costly, so just for a laugh, I thought I would try make one, it's still a WIP but this is what I got so far.










Here is another one I did





I'm experimenting with different materials for the body, to make it as light as possible.

Hey thats pretty damn awesome! Both heads look good, What type of clay are you using? Does it just harden or does it need to be heated? or is it clay at all? Lol.

I really need to get a driver for my rig, guess I'll have to look for some WW figure. Thanks for the pics

Thanks, I did some research, and saw how real artists did it, then tried a few times till it looked OK. I use Polymer clay that you have to bake, we had an old toaster oven and the clay is 99c for 2 oz., a balled up piece of foil is covered with the clay so it is very light, after baking it;s hard as a rock.
If you google 'action figures' there are tons of them, but not all are poseable and they cost up to a hundred bucks for good ones, plus they weigh a lot.
I'll keep you updated.

Thanks, still a WIP.
I am seriously considering making a bunch of these scale drivers, no firm desicions yet, depends on demand ect. but keep an eye out you never know.

Just got done with painting these two characters.





Any feedback would be welcome, LMK what you think.

Thanks,3six, I'm still in at the bottom of the learning curve, but with a bit of experience and practise I might be able try my hand at that. Give me a couple days, I'll see what happens.
