At
last we get pictures of the latest JLA wave. These figures were
rumored to be finished way back in November, but these are the
first time we have been able to get pictures. The wave appears
to cover a wide range of JLA incarnations, and includes (l-r)
General Glory, Oliver Queen as Green Arrow, Steel from the 80s
incarnation of the JLoA, The Justice League Antaracticas
Multi-Man, and Firestorm.
General
Glory is a combination of parts. The torso and arms are from the
Flash, with additional Milliput on the glove cuffs. The head is
from a Super Powers Captain America, and the legs are from Martian
Manhunter with the feet cut off and repositioned for a different
stance. The belt is a rubber band and the buckle is a bent paperclip.
Not too much dremeling needed here, just on the cuffs of the gloves
to remove the lightning insignia. Milliput was added to the neck
to give a better fit between the head and torso. The detail on
the eagle was done with a black paint pen.
Green
Arrow comes from a Black Lightning torso and Supermans right
arm. The left arm is also from a Superman, with the hand replaced
with one from a Mummies Alive Shibati Trooper. The legs are from
a Superman with one leg cut off and repositioned to change the
stance. The bow and quiver are both from a JLA Green Arrow. LOTS
of dremeling on the torso to remove the lightning etches, with
milliput used to fill smooth things out. The foot and hand were
added by drilling a hole into the limb and body, glueing a piece
of paperclip into the body hole, to act like a bone, and then
gluing the other end into the limb. Milliput was used to smooth
out the connection. A neck was added so that the head didnt
sink too far into the tunic. The belt buckle was cut out of a
Super Powers Green Arrow and placed into a hole that was cut into
the BL torso. Dark washes were used on the hair, chest, and arms
to add depth.
Steel
was a simple repaint of a Superman Blue.
Muli-Mans
head is from the Leader and the body is a Spiderman figure. The
head incorporates a short-heading technique, where
I cut the head in half at the forehead and took out about 3 mm
of length. I then reattached the head with some screw lengths
inserted into the top an bottom of the head. Milliput was used
to smooth out the seam. The head was attached to the body by gluing
a screw into the neck hole of the body and sealing it in with
Milliput. The head was then screwed on to the screw after the
neck hole in the head was enlarged a bit with a dremel. The collar
was sculpted from Milliput.
Firestorm
is a variation on a recipe from somewhere else using a Nova body
from the Silver Surfer series. The legs were shortened at the
ankles (thanks Chris G.!) pretty considerably. The head is from
a Robot Wars Gambit with the hair removed and the flames sculpted
on with Milliput. The design across the chest and back are sections
of shoe-lace material with circles cut from the blister pack on
the back.
