I was able to make some huge progress on my Black Panther w/Infinity Gauntlet custom figure with the help of a friend today. He definitely came through for me, sculpting the Infinity gems, and some detail onto the gauntlet getting it one step closer to finishing... NOT ONLY THAT, but he found a custom head that someone had casted and was selling. Since I didn't have a paypal account ready he bought it for me and had it shipped. He has definitely been super valuable as a coach as I learn customizing.

It is a pretty awesome looking head, and serves as a perfect alternate head for my Black Panther. It may be slightly small for the frame, but once painted will look great I think

My friend displaying the fact that the head cast came in... needless to say it didn't take me long to head over there and get to work...

The next step is to add the only detail to his costume!

Those sweet arm bands/ necklace!

This was an idea we were bouncing around for a while on how it could even be done. paint is too sloppy to get that fine of a line... string too flimsy... glue too messy... sculpt too bulky... That is when I saw some coated wire he was using to make spiderman webbing... and I knew it would work... but it wasn't easy

Wrapping the wire and getting it cut the right size was easy enough but the part that I was worried about was attaching it and making sure that it stayed attached. Again, with some advice I used Krazy glue and attached one end first... waited for a solid bond (several minutes) and then slowly attached it down mm by mm.

The figure still needs a little bit more prep, to clean the glue off, prime it again, sculpt the "points" to the white bands, and my friend is going to add a bit more detail to the gauntlet. After all that is done we can do the final paint, and details. We are also throwing around the idea of making a light up wearable Infinity Gauntlet for Black Panther.
