Custom Nick Fury head and jet pack

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

 

I was excited to discover that the Nick Fury body would be included in the TRU army builder 3 pack because as much as I wanted a Nick Fury figure, I wasn't interested in an online comic subscription.

 

I popped the super crappy head off of the Shield Agent included in the 3 pack and replaced it with an old Jurassic Park 2 soldier head I had lying around that I converted to fit the MU body. I sculpted the patch on his eye and painted him up.

 

The Jet pack is of the GI Joe variety with a harness cobbled together from a Cobra Officer harness and some spare bits I had lying around. I painted it up and decoupaged the Shield symbol cut from a Fury File sheet.

 

Let me know what you think!

That looks really good the only weapon from the Official Nick Fury set you don't have is the S.H.I.E.L.D. B.F.G.

 

Thanks... but who needs the BFG?! I've got plenty of guns that look better than that thing!

 

I don't know, the BFG is a pretty important gun. Didn't you ever play Doom? Made life so much easier.

 

Ha! Touche'! The BFG is pretty cool. I guess it's just sour grapes on my part.

The face sculpt you did was good, but the mouth just doesn't look right.

 

Actually, the head is from another figure- I wish I could sculpt like that! Thanks for the feedback about the mouth. I notice that in some of the pictures the lips look a little puffy. That may be because I shaded the area around them to look like he had a bit of 3 o'clock shadow and added a pinkish hue to the lips to distinguish them from the rest of the face which makes them pop a bit. That having been said- the lips are a bit pronounced in the original sculpt. Thanks again!

Now that's a Nick Fury! While it may inhibit the jet-pack straps, I think I'd snip-off the holster and reposition it where it should be...on the chest. Don't forget the trademark cigar, though...for authenticity. Good-job! :wink:

 

Thanks, Baron! I've thought about repositioning the holster, but I think it's a little big and might look goofy on his chest- and as you said it would make the jet pack a whole other conundrum. I also thought about a variant head with a cigar or perhaps a variant left hand holding one- if you take a look, the left hand is perfectly positioned to hold a cigar between the pointer and middle fingers!

 

Thanks again!

 

Mike
