IRON ZOMBIE - FOREWARNED IS FOREARMED
(BEST SEEN LARGE)
As a fan of the Marvel Comics character Iron Man as well as a collector of the spin-off action figures I got a grim chuckle out of the Marvel Zombie alternative universe story arc where the superheroes are infected with a zombie plague and become undead!
And poor Tony Stark thought he had problems being an Alcoholic!
The Thirst was as nothing compared to the Hungerrrrrrr......!
Anyway, I can't wait for the inevitable toy line to come out, in late 2007, so decided to sculpt up my own interpretation of the Golden Gobbler.
This is by way of a sneak preview....a tasty 'appetizer'. This is the left arm assembly, made from Super Sculpey, an oven fireable modelling clay. It's roughly the same size as you see it on the photo's home page. Each of the joints is drilled for articulation. The next stage is to make rubber moulds for casting these pieces in one of the thermosetting plastics, as the Sculpey isn't quite as strong as I'd like the final action figure to be.
The tolerances on the joints are quite fine and have given me a whole new appreciation for the fine art of figure sculpting!
I shot these components on a piece of red leather, just to cue the signature Iron Man colours....
