Hawkman - 1:3 Scale Statue

[gearhead]

More pics as promised. Please excuse any mess in the background, this is not his final spot and he’s so big it’s really hard to keep clutter out of frame.

A few more.

Congrats. Looks fantastic.

The Iron Studios Punisher is Phenomenal! I didn't even plan to get a Punisher statue, but when I saw him I had to go for it. Now he stands proudly in my living room next to my Daredevil PF.

Does anyone have a pic with one wing closed & one open? I'd like to see that option.

There’s a photo a few pages back. But it may not show everything you want.

Yep, it's on page 21. Looks good in the photo because of the perspective, though I suspect it might not look right in person. I haven't tried it so I'm just guessing, but the folded wings are noticeably more massive than the open so it may look lop-sided. That's not to say I think the open wings look too small, they look great! It's just that the folded are even bigger. The open wings are about 52" wide, I estimate the folded would be 80-84" if spread out. That would be badass!, but no doubt too heavy for the connection point. Not to mention even more impossible to display. Out of town again now but maybe I'll give it a try next week.

I love the way they did the base. The three separate and distinct planes- the exterior floral design elements, the birds and columns in the middle ground, the steps in the background/interior. So much more visually interesting than simply doing everything in an opaque bas relief, which is what I originally thought it was.
Great "worn" paint apps too.

Just got my 7 day notice - $90 shipping to NYS- wasn't expecting that! Nice to have a pleasant surprise for a change.

Yes, the base is much more elaborate than I originally thought as well. Here’s another shot of the back.

How's the weight distribution of this with the closed wings?

I need to build a stand, and I was thinking of a column 38" tall and 20" square. Think that would be enough (reenforced in the middle with a vertical 2x4").

61lbs is better than 100, but with stand I'm still looking at over 80 lbs. Since this is a second floor studio/study, there is already about six to seven hundred pounds of books up here in cases along every wall. I've noticed the floorboards squeaking a lot more than they did ten years ago.
