Medusa Maquette "Super EX"!

[Kaijuboy]

Hello all! I just wanted to share some pics of my custom "Super EX" Medusa. First off, let me just say what a FANTASTIC piece! My compliments to Arahom and Alex P for making such a great piece. My modifications are in no way a slight to the mass produced statue, this is just my take on on taking it to the "next level", as any of you who may know of my custom works can see that I cant let things stay "stock"!

You'll see lots lots of small paint touch-ups and glossings/tinting on the eyes, snake hair, all the armor pieces, snake body, etc in the various pics, but here are the main highlights:

Medusa's eyes were glossed more, and her snake hair had some red added into them as well as fangs





Stone victim weathered and a custom made arrow (matching those in quiver) inserted into leg (removable).

Before & After




All armor parts where glossed and touched up with metallic liquid leaf:

Before & After


Here's a pic showing the bow 1/2 way done (on left side) to see the huge difference:




Shield repainted to in “Clash of Titans”-esque color scheme:
(with the exception of a gold burst pattern [the movie had a black burst pattern] on the inside and the obvious leather handles [ movie had solid metal] )

Before

After


And Yes, it is reflective! (seen here reflecting medusa figure)

Plug (magnetic as well) made for back in case you decide to display without quiver:

Raw & painted



Snake body, pillar, & base all filled in (new weight = 63 pounds!).

Before & After

Before & After



Magnets added to hips for optional chain attachments optional chains. Small grooves added as well so as the chains dont interfer with torso attachment:

Before & After



Optional Separate Bow (extra slack in string to allow for slinging over shoulder) and Kris Blade:

Here's the naked "Hunter Medusa" (with optional cloth bracer for right arm)




Here's Stheno with optional Kris blade and new breast plate armor:



Old work-in-progress pic:


Here's Euryale with optional skirt and bra top:





Here's a "Super Battle Medusa" with a mish-mash of several of the accessories:



PS. Stheno & Euryale were the other 2 gorgons besides Medusa (for those that dont know)

Here's a pic of all the custom seperate accessory pieces made for her:




I also have plans for making a scabbard for her (attached via the hip chains), a shield (attached via magnetic leather straps!), and a couple of other chest armor ideas. I’d love to take a stab at one with human legs (I have some crazy ideas for that one! )

Anyways, enjoy and please let me know your thoughts!

Wow she's more awesome than she looked before

Honestly, all in all, I think the things you did to this piece are amazing!

I love everything from the sword, to the bandage on her arm, to the improvements to her eyes and snakes, to the shield which looks 10x better, and adding the arrow to the stoned man.

The only negative, IMO, is the gold lame fabric you have for her as an optional top and skirt. I don't like it at all, but again, that's my personal thought.

Congrats on a job well done.
