i know it's funny but here's a reference pic... basically jus a "upped" juggs u're looking at... :oops:

 

these are jus for scale/size comparision... :oops:

 

 

woot, finally the juggernaut bitach ~!!!

 

Origins of this custom : one fine day A showed B some wips pics, a few weeks later B decided to tried it out himself...

 

another inspired custom by one of my customizing mates(AGAIN ???) i find myself really weird... always making new wips, always leaving them alone and making new wips, never completing the wips i made becoz i have no time, but always have time to make new wips... okie back to the custom...

 

i always luv big, & bulky bad@$$ chars, one of the many is juggs... i was as usual making new wips when i jus had the urge to create one bitach... the first char i tot of was juggs(if u dun get the joke u should watch X3, but i wouldnt recommend watching it becoz it suks... well, u make the decision...) this figure is one of my biggest custom(in scale) so far... i admit he's a bit too huge but at that point of time, i jus wanted a big bitach, i mean juggs...

 

The Process:

 

Making of frankenstein:

i went into cutting juggs up in parts, extending his torso, biceps, thighs and boots for a start... initially i tot of using pure AS but then i saw some broken ml stands lying around, so u know wat happens after tat... the torso extension was made possible by using some random rectangle stands i found in my fodder bin... i also cut the fingers up for individual posing...

 

Sculpting:

as u can see from the wip pics(if the excessive pics didnt make ur internet connection fry) the torso from the front is aligned properly, but the back of the body is crazily hunched... i have to like sculpt the back muscles like 4 times, tat explains the number of backshot pics u see... i also have no idea how much AS i have used till then... after which i sculpted the thighs, boots, arms and filled up the area of the helmet holder... the helmet actually fits a lot better and the tightness somehow push the helmet into a dome shape... there are still some fingerprints at the back of one of juggs thigh for the "snipers" ard here but i do get lazy at times...

 

Painting:

i would have swear and curse a lot of times while painting this custom... i painted the flesh for like 5 times ??? the paint keep on chipping on the inner shoulder joints and the weight of this custom is stressing on my fingers(btw juggs stand over 10 inches tall and he's damn heavy...) i almost went crazy over all these little stuffs... the helmet was painted black and drybrushed with copper paint... now all is done and the fig is ready for photo taking... it's aLiVE ~!!!

simply astounding. Great skills with the clay! Thanks for all the in-progress pics, that really helps show us how you made this figure.

Awesome job man. Love the work you did on the muscles and the skin tone. Give us some advice on sculpting technique and what sculpting tools you use.
