Figures & Characters Scale Models
Last Updated April 3, 2008 : added Horus model to Sci-fi Galleryadded 4 models and 2 diorama's to Comics-related Galleryadded 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 charactersHeroClix game pieces, customized and repaintsCeramic Figurines Info on Vinyl and Resin Figure Kits 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.
