This figure was a long time in the making....I tried several ideas but found nothing that just worked with no problems. (I even tried carving the head out of a bar of soap to give it a smoother diamond looking effect....but I still did not get the desired look. I finally decided on making everything out of sculpty. The base figure was the Thing...every thing else is sculpty and paint. This is my 4th Ben 10 figure to make in the Marvel legends style....although they have been fun to make the next few remaining seem to be increasingly difficult to make. Any ideas for base figures for a WildMutt, Ripjaws, or roller ball would be great!
