Figures & Characters Scale Models

  

 

 

 Last Updated April 3, 2008 :

 

  • added Horus model to Sci-fi Gallery
  • added 4 models and 2 diorama's to Comics-related Gallery
  • added a new section for two Ceramic Figurines I painted

     



    Thanks for visiting my Gallery of "figure" models, which consists of characters from a variety (mixture) of themes, from comic books, to sci-fi TV and movie.

     

    The diorama above shows the first five Horizon models that I ever built, in a variation of a scene from'Maximum Carnage', the Spider-Man mini-series from 1993. All of the models are 1/6 scale, and thus this warehouse scene is pretty big. It was scratch-built built by a friend of mine (Tom Sosenko). I added Wolverine, which was actually from a kit which had him in his pre-X-Men brown and orange costume. I modified him to have the classic yellow and blue costume, including the shoulder pads, but I didn't put the tiger claws on his upper body. Later, I built Horizon's X-Men version of Wolverine which was "much cooler" ... see it on the 'Comic books related Models Gallery' (link above).

     

    Currently I have Five Galleries of Models (use links above) :

  • Comic-book characters

  • Sci-Fi characters (excluding Star Wars)

  • Star Wars characters

  • HeroClix game pieces, customized and repaints

  • Ceramic Figurines

    Before going to my galleries, to view the photos and reading my commentary on the kits I have built, it may be helpful to have some background on the materials and techniques used to build these kits. To do so, go to these links:
