I suppose this is the spot to say I use Magic Sculpt for the vast majority of my sculpting work, and all of my figures are primed with Krylon flat white spray paint, painted with water-based acrylics. For the most part, I try to stick with actual Super Powers base figures where I can, and I try to maintain the "Super Powers Aesthetic" as much as possible. Which means things like cloth capes and simple paint jobs (no washes, etc.). And if I can swing it, the figures maintain articulation and in most cases the "Super Power" still works.
From Left to Right:
Ocean Master Starting the long slow process that is this complicated a head sculpt. He's ready for paint after that. Still looking for the right shade of Lycra for the cape though.
Goldface Still tweeking the basic helmet shape. Need to get that where I want it before moving on.
Terminator Not entirely sold on the head is why no more work has been done on this one. Doing a hand swap though, so now he can hold his weapons.
Heatwave
Head and arms are swapped, and the dremeling is done. Swapping some hands, now ready for a few layers of Magic Sculpt to make that baggy costume.


Killer Moth
Just starting what will be a complicated paint job. Still debating on whether he should get wings or a cape.
Poison Ivy
The basic coats of green are done. needs some touch up and flesh tones.
Count Vertigo
Got the black done, and the cape is ready.

Trickster
The basic colors are here, I just need to clean then up and pen stripe him. And then there's that cape...
Captain Boomerang
Digger's proving to be a pain. But he's close to done. Need to clean up the lines a bit, then start hand painting dozens of little boomerangs on his tunic.

the Joker
I'm working on an upgrade for my SP Joker. Don't get me wrong, this is my favorite Joker sculpt, and the hammer is a perfect accessory, but it lacked... well obviously a coat and hat! The hat is courtesy of his Toy Biz clone. The coat is hand sewn Lycra. I'll be painting the hat to match it for color, and adding a flower to the lapel. Additionally, I've got a Joker head cane and some tiny card/blades on the drawing board.
