I am working on my traditionally sculpted, resin cast 1:6 scale head sculpt of Raiden by Thai artist numoworkshop. I purchased the head sculpt back in 2014-ish, from his shop on eb6y. I had already modified it since I purchased it, because I am not a fan of painting sculpted hair. I also prefer my toys to have "real" hair, unless they have extremely short hair, which most of the characters I love don't have. I heavily modified it back then, but I always felt that I had a long way to go, before I could call it done or close enough.

However, knowing that I am much older now, I repainted him first to see just how much of a sh1tty job I did the first time. DX That is the first image to the left; I didn't even seal the work and thought "nope," so I wiped it clean and I'm starting from the mods now. Which is the image on the right. I still need to do some more sanding and probably need to add more Apoxie on the right eye to make both as symmetrical as possible, as Raiden is perfect that way... lol!

If it's not oblivious from the second photo, which has the shot of how the sculpt looked straight from the artist. I removed all the sculpted hair, I carved the ear/audio cyborg pieces out of some of the sculpted hair, then sculpted some of the details that weren't there due to the obvious sculpted hair covering those. I carved the left eye out of the eyepatch/band on Raiden's left that was sculpted instead, and of course I didn't do half a decent job, because I suck! Those were the heaviest mods I've done, all at "once" (not literally, they took me quite a few days. Just waiting for the Apoxie Sculpt to dry takes a day, or so..) without first painting and seeing what else I need to change. I feel I did a super lousy job due to that. However, I don't regret it this time. I feel I always do slower mods, so I don't regret the crapfest later. However, this time, with this sculpt, I didn't want to have a custom Rising Raiden, with sculpted hair and a covered left eye.

Because I did pre-order and still own the Hot Toys Metal Gear Rising Raiden, but that one took a bit longer than a year to release. I feel like he was announced sometime in early 2014-ish. He was delayed a few times, if I am not mistaken. I got mine from Japan, so it was as early as possible, unlike getting it from a USA retailer and still got to me until August 2015. I knew I wanted an alternative head sculpt that was closer to the Rising that never was, which was supposed to be developed by Kojima, but then it was not to be created, and Rising was developed by Platinum. Which I don't hate, but did miss the opportunity, to get any figures based on that specific Raiden key art (which had brown eyes instead of blue ones, and that also irked me, but then it never happened anyway!). Not like Raiden is so popular anyway, there would have probably been no figures based on that key art regardless, but I still wanted to have a custom one, so I got this head for that reason alone.

End of mega long rant, just to share my progress, of this head sculpt I purchased more than a decade ago and kept in my closet along with my other resin dolls, so that I could feel they were being kept from aging too badly. I should be working on my other giant resin head sculpts first, but I feel this dude has waited long enough (and I love Raiden, I really need more figures based on him. Too bad no other MGS fans share my lonely Raiden fangirl dreams T__T;;.). (:

I'm clearing out some of my collectables and was wondering if anyone here would be interested in taking this 1/6 figure Curran Walters headsculp? It's for the Teen Titans show and I am planning on replacing his head with a custom one I'm making, and I know there are some nerds here <3

Coke can for size lol They are technically 12" Figures, a little bit bigger than Barbies.

These sorts of things go for anywhere from 25-150$ depending on the sculpt and character, but this one usually only goes for about 25-35$ on the second hand market, so I'd only ask for 30$ + Shipping (I'd send it as small as possible to reduce cost, and unfortunately I'll have to say American only shipping as the costs have skyrocketed here :/)

What This Blog is About, and Fanfic Masterlist...

I thought it was about time I updated my pinned post since this blog has evolved quite a bit since I joined Tumblr back in July 2023.

It mainly focuses on my work in progress 1/6 scale Matt Murdock Apartment, along with pics of my Matt Murdock figure living there, semi-permanent visitors Frank Castle, Jessica Jones and Danny Rand, and occasional visitors, Henry (Eat Locals), Michael Kinsella (Kin), Black Widow, Elektra, Loki, Seven Grant/Marc Spector, and Sherlock.

This is an early video of it but I'll update it at some stage.

I've also got back into writing fanfiction since joining Tumblr.

I also have three ongoing fanfics -

Pairing - Vampire Henry (from the movie ‘Eat Locals’) and Fem!Reader.

Summary:

When your great aunt Ellie leaves you Luminarium in her will, you decide to escape London and start a new life in rural Norfolk. But the forest that borders the cottage is hiding secrets, and one of them is Henry, a lonely, centuries old vampire, who is not only mourning the loss of Ellie but hopes you might fill the void she left behind.

Pairing - Matt Murdock and Fem!Reader. Post season 3. Pre Thanos and the blip.

Summary: As a child you witnessed the accident that blinded Matthew Murdock and were plagued by nightmares for years. Over time they became less frequent and when you went to college they had all but disappeared. But an impromptu move to New York, blossoming friendship with Karen Page, and discovery that Matt’s place of work is only two blocks from your own, has suddenly triggered them again. Karen is keen to introduce you to her two best friends but the thought of facing the man whose child screams have subconsciously haunted you for most of your life, terrifies you more than the nightmares do! Matt Murdock, meanwhile, is in a good place for perhaps the first time in his life. Nelson, Murdock and Page is thriving, he is slowly building a relationship with his mother, and he is actually enjoying being the Devil of Hell's Kitchen now that Fisk has been incarcerated indefinitely. And yet, of late, he has found a loneliness setting in. Returning to an empty apartment at the end of a long night is becoming more profound, his heightened senses only amplifying that emptiness. He finds himself wondering what it would be like to have someone waiting for him after he has removed the mask and peeled off the red suit, what it would be like to lose himself in the warmth of someone he truly cares for. But fearing that can never happen while he remains Daredevil he has resigned himself to a life alone.

I also like to post my Daredevil/Charlie Cox fan art. (Although this blog will mostly be DD themed, I will occasionally post other, non-DD related, artwork as well.)

Anyhoo. I shall end with a few random pics of Matt (and friends) in his apartment -

Anyhoo, thanks for your interest in my blog and I hope you enjoy the content! xx
