The gold and blue are so eye catching...and the display stand is one of the nicest i've seen..


I did find it odd that a leg strap for the holster wasn't included...so i used one from an old dragon figure..

The chain sticking to the magnets was driving me mad so i made a few modifcations...first i removed both magnets from the inside of the jacket
(i don't know why they put two in the same area)

There's no need for these magnets as the badge already has one which is strong enough...so i cut and placed a small piece of metal tin back to where i removed the right sided magnet on the jacket...this works great...and still holds the badge in place perfectly.

I also removed the magnets from the front of the right strap on the chest/shoulder armor...again this was driving me mad with the chain forever sticking to it.

Anyways i swapped and re-glued the magnets to the back of the strap and armor...this is where they should have been in the first place.


Now's there no more chain sticking to the umpteen magnets

Looks amazing matrix69 ! Some really good mods there, makes a world of difference. I've been working on mine and made some subtle changes...



Can anyone see what I've done ? ( The body is a placeholder, far too skinny- I don't know what body I'll settle on).

 

[Marine Boy]

Looks like you modified the belt, removed the magnets and did the head swap. Nice job! That's just how i want mine to look.

 

[paulcarson]

Thank you I also put the glove straps on the correct part of the gold "buckle".

 

[paulcarson]

Guys who have this, would a generic muscle body ( similar to hot toys wolverine) suit this figure? I'm trying to find a necked muscle body that isn't too large to swap out and to be honest I'm struggling.

 

[matrix69]

I made a few more modifications to mine...i re-worked the belt/pouch placement and i also got the arms to bend a little more at the elbow by cutting/sanding down some of the upper arm...

I'm happy enough with the stock body...my only real issue was the lack of articulation at the elbow which i fixed. Otherwise i think the overall proportions are a pretty good match to how Stallone looked in the movie..

Looking through the screencaps...this one made me laugh...looks like Stallone wore special boots with lifts to give him a few more inches...The vanity!

That looks great ! I knew that you'd make this figure look amazing ! I may just follow your example and use the base body. It was the lack of articulation that prompted my decision to find a new body.

Thanks Paul...here's what i did to the upper arms. It might look a bit crude but it works great..

Thank you. I'll get to work on mine. I wanted to use an undershirt on mine too but can't seem to find one.

Did you paint the domed shoulder bell grey ? I've been thinking of enhancing the armour but can't decide on the colour to use. There are some slight tonal changes to various parts of his costume.

[Steel & Flesh]

Has anyone tried and had success in removing the head from the helmet.

 

[paulcarson]

Yes, look a few pages back. I managed to remove it intact.

I haven't done any repainting yet...but the inner shoulder bell already appears to have more of a greyish colour to it as is.

Going from your reference pics there's others parts that should also have the same greyish hue to them...especially around the badge.

Has anyone picked up the Kumik Stallone sculpt? I want to have a swap out neutral face for the helmet and was looking at this as i don't want to cut up the stock sculpt..
