Well, here's my Moebius reissue of the Aurora Comics scenes Wonder Woman.

Most noticable are the stars on Diana's shorts, which are far too complicated to paint with my current tools and skill set. I'm waiting on getting some Gundam Markers to help with that detail. |
Her face.... simply horrible. I figured the sculpt for it would be more smooth and statuesque. Not big cheek bones.

Some of that may be because I'm not a professional model builder...but yeah. It is a replica of a model from the 70s, so detail is passable at best. Aurora's Superboy kit wasn't much better. I'll admit I do find a charm to the simplistic designs. |

Great paint does help even bad sculpts. But yes, sculpts for model in the 60s and 70s weren't all that great. Take a look at the long narrow faced Godzilla next to her. I also have a Spock from the 60s that's pretty silly looking. |
Ok, lets just agree that all 3 models are bad sculpts. Logan looks rather bad. Well, his cowl looks bad. His costume, even in the 70's had the upturn pointed piece, that just seems to stick straight out.

That one was made by toybiz in the 90s. Thankfully I didn't pay for it. The upper part looked absolutely atrocious when attached to the hips. His hips extended past his waist. I had to use a lot of putty to try and actually make it look like a goddamn humanoid. :lol That's certainly my least favorite model. On the subject of this, while I do find charm in the old Aurora kits, I would eventually like to get something more realistic, like the Deluxe Lugosi Dracula(With victim) |
That Lugosi model looks nice!! >.<

Finished building the Pioneer Kainar I got during my China trip:
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CaWNN5JWQAEJBLm.jpg:large He isn't perfect, he's a bit fiddly and there's a few spots that make me quite nervous to move IE: the hip skirts and legs. Otherwise, the plastic quality feels quite good not quite on par with Bandai but pretty close. The important thing is that he doesn't feel like he's gonna snap in two at any given moment. |
I'm currently working on the Polar Lights Reissue of the Aurora Incredible Hulk. This thing is beefy. I know the PL version was up scaled from the original 1:12, but you don't realize how big that is until you actually handle the freaking thing.
http://i65.tinypic.com/2upst1v.jpg The large parts have made detail work very easy. He went together fast, the paint work was fast. Probably one of the easiest times I've ever had with a kit. Didn't have to do a whole lot paint wise either, he's an Aurora reissue/comic scenes kits, so I try to keep the colors pretty simple with those, and Hulk is fairly simple to begin with. Most extravagant thing I've done is a black wash on the hair, eyebrows, and toes. The only thing that's slowed the progression down is the base, which is pretty dang big. Lots of rocks and crevasses to work the brush around. I'm also taking my time because once I get a good coat of brown on the base, I'm going to do a lot of dry brushing and paint some individual rocks different colors to try and makes things look a bit more diverse. |
