Description
1/4 scale Eastwood inspired Wolverine in Brown Costume. Sound crazy? Check it listverse.com/2014/05/22/10-ha… and I've always thought the attitude and style reminded me of Clint's movie characters.Related content

Thanks! I took the pic from slightly above, so that may be it, but it's the Capcom version with the giant hands and arms, so that doesn't help lol

oops thought you commented on my latest submission, the juggernaut. My B. The wolverine is exact human proportions. I took the measurements from a real person that's a little over 5 ft tall (wolverine height in the comics) and transferred it to 1/4 scale.

ah going for the actors height

i usually think of hero proportions but hey i like it either way

Hi Chris man this is good stuff I always loved those two characters... I can hear Clint now "Mister...I don't like the way ya smell Bub...snick, snick, snick (that's snick is slicing & dicing)"
Ha! Great job I think you capture your 2 in 1 perfectly. Nice going... Bub;O)

Thanks Stu I appreciate that. I wasn't sure how well it would work at first, but once I started doing research and put it all together I was happy with it.

Your welcome Chris! Question for you: How do you get your Polymere clay to such a polished look ? Our is that just in the finished product?
Thank you for the responses. Keep up the great work.

Well this wolverine is made mostly from Monster clay and the head is Ralph's wax. I just used my hands for this one, but you can bake and then sand polymer clay down to a smooth finish or even get some of that effect from applying rubbing alcohol with a soft brush before you bake it. Some people spend a ton of time of getting a near mirror finish. You start low and end with high grit and then a polishing pad.

Thank you for the great tips. I haven't tried the Monster clay yet mostly I been working with sculpey & Chavant wax. I've seen that you've mixed the sculpey with wax is that right in some of your projects?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No prob. Yeah. I usually make the heads out of castilene and the bodies out of sculpey or some sort of clay.

Details are more visible in this angle. you worked well on the muscles.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks Sans! I still need to work on that right arm, but I at least got the boots the way I want them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Looking mighty indeed bro! heh, with the wire sticking out like that it kinda looks like he's got toe blades which would be awesome and would totally make sense, in fact I don't understand why wolverine doesnt have bladed feet also! that would be sick!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks buddy! Haha I see what you mean and actually there's a female clone character called x-23 that has a single blade that comes out of the feet and two blades on the hands. I never read too much into her story, but she seems pretty badass.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh? I've never heard of that character, does sound pretty badass!
Anyway, keep up the great work!

(bows down to you) this is utterly amazing!
You should try Deadpool next, cus he has an amazing booty. but obviously do whatever you want haha just a suggestion.

Yummier than before with those well defined fingers. Did you use anyone as a reference for the body?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's an amalgam of a few people, but the abs were mostly Shawn Ray just to create a different yet realistic look.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nice. A tad too shrink wrapped for my taste, but suits the model.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you! I can't wait to see it finished too haha

I'd have to save for one of these Chris, if you even do more than OOAK. Like your Hulk, hands down best Wolvie I have seen to date. Your design choice was spot on.

Thanks Tim! Means a lot bro! It's going to be a new experience...bc it's monster clay.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
MC huh? It likes YOU! lol.
I have my back iron and cx5 but no ideas at present.... artists' constipation!!!
atb --tim
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol nah, but I like it...Never dries out and easy to soften. Not sure how well it will hold up to casting though..Artist's constipation haha! Cx5 seems good for likenesses....you could try that maybe?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, that was my only negative on MC, was too soft as it arrived and need some paraffin wax to stiffen it. I found that when temps got warm, it would melt or slump compared to Chavant which just sweated a touch but went nowhere!
so based on that, I favour Chavant personally. Just wish I had lots of room to work. Hence the change to wax again. don't need much room at all.
As for the constipation, maybe I should eat the CX5 and hopefully sh* Masterpieces!!! pmsl!!
Yah, defo good for portraits and full bodies Chris. I watched the Stan Winston video with Adam Beane using it to do life sculpture. Very enjoyable so I caved and bvought some.
maybe I really should eat it!.......... hmmmm.

LoL it does smell kinda good haha...I too watched the vid and got pumped, but I personally don't like to work with CX5 a whole lot. It was too brittle. I was working on a portrait once and had the whole thing split in two. It also cooled too fast. I think I still prefer doing a rough sketch in castilene and then doing a transfer to something like Ralphs wax. It casts like a dream! If you need the link for the site let me know.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
heya Chris,
I have the new CX5-S ; which is softer and takes longer to cool. I didn't buy the 'new' CX5 compared to the Test Batch I had a sample of which was gummy and brittle.
I hear ya on wax transfers; def the way to go but expensive so I need to cut out a step due to my budget.
Like the Castilene. 
atb man-- tim
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I heard something about the "new" batch. Nice to know they screwed me out of my money bc I trusted their product would work as shown. They won't be getting my money again, nor my praise. I also don't really care to work purely in wax or any material that I can't shape with my hands unless it's for finishing work. All mediums and products are hype anyway. It's up to the artist....and they certainly hyped the hell out of that product. I'll know better next time.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, I was lucky in that someone kindly gave me a sample to try. I cant complain about the new stuff yet. Only had a play with a single chunk but it seems better.
Have to admit, I enjoy the clay process in oil clays. Love the addition of clay with small stokes and gesture strokes. If money wasn't tight, I would likey do what you'r doing Chris. I really love Hard Chavant and Beau-Touche. Lovely clays and so cheap too.
I knocked up a new wax piece tonight as I had the house to myself. Was a hybrid wax of 360 and Monster clay. Quite nice. not so super tough that it felt like scraping Concrete!! lol.
all the best bud-- tim
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah man, you did get lucky. You said you're having sculpting constipation and I think I'm having some sort of sculpting diarrhea/sculpting ADD lol...I got some stuff to start on a punisher, but I don't think it's happening anytime soon, though I do have a pose and some weapons picked out. :-D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I just pooped out a couple Chris! lol...
Been playing with the Cx5S to get a feel for I. Made an 11 female body to see what it's like. Better than previously. Just to be sure, I made a lil miniature figure about 3 inch. Holds detail well and models like sculpey when warmed properly, overall, expensive but worthwhile for me.
Sadly it's now cold and grey each day so no chance to try my back-iron with an armature. 
Looking forward to seeing your Punisher dude!
atb Chris-- tim

lmao good to hear it. I look forward to seeing it. Change o head for punisher too, hey? haha I'm not sure what sort of face I'll be using as inspiration. I need to flip through some old comics and search the interwebz before settling on a face. All I know for sure is what weapons he'll be holding and that it'll be 1/6 scale.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
awww, I wanted 1/4!! But you just mis-typed, eh Chris !!??!! lol.
I'd still be down for a 1/6 . Modern or classic??
Yep!, been using the wax again today and the ole digital too.
atb --tim
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
People are always jonsin' for the 1/4 lol Those things take up too much space! There's also another reason I'm going for a 1/6. It's going to be a modern look. The comic spandex with white gloves just doesnt go well with his persona to me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha, I agree on the space issue Chris. I don't have room for a ton of em for sure. Good thing about 1/6 is all the accessories you can get if you wanted to avoid making weapons ad such. It's a good size too and you can see detail clearly enough.
Looking forward to seeing your version of a Modern Punisher.
I'm trying to finish my Z Brush one. Added more detail and anatomy. It's looking better. The Back was a weak area for me but I'm improving at the forms I think.
atb --tim
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup and that's definitely a strong reason for 1/6...I don't want to deal with making tiny, perfect little objects with dozens of parts just to be able to cast them. That's a job for zbrush and even that would be quite time consuming and expensive to reproduce.
Good to hear you brought up the back area. It's not one the easier parts to learn. Later bro!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
straight-line design is an art and one you gotta enjoy. Like you, I'm likely more in to organics than hard surface. I have made pistols in Zbrush but in box modelling; a real ball ache! lol.
I'll sling some back shots up on my page....
atb --tim
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I mean this is where I'm coming from about it...Sure, I could spend 50 hrs making what amounts to an accessory, but why? I can buy one that's the right size and fit for the statue and so can anyone else at 1/6 scale. I'm one guy with a full time job and I'm no masochist lol. If I had zbrush where it's more simplified ..maybe, but I don't and even that would be hard to cast without breaking an already small part into even smaller pieces for a mold. Id have to stick to a simple weapon like an uzi or shotgun, but I want bigger, more intricate weapons...and a lot of them..so fuck dat lol This punisher is being made to take on an army. I'm pretty stoked about it...but damn, I've already got too much to do. :' ( <--tear lol
I'll go check out your post/s bro
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't know about the Punisher but when it comes to sculptin', you're a One Man Army yerself!! lol
I have a few weapons on file but it's def easier to buy a plastic gun and mold . amen!

Haha I don't know about all that, but thanks man. Now I've got yet another idea LOL...ADD man...ADD
