Introduction

The Umbrella Academy has become a popular television series and comic book, and fans of the show may be interested in creating their own custom action figures. In this tutorial, we will be focusing on how to make a Luther Hargreeves action figure, one of the main characters of the series, using a base figure and some sculpting materials.

Materials Needed

– Base action figure

– Sculpting materials (such as epoxy putty)

– Sculpting tools (such as a sculpting knife)

– Sandpaper

– Paint brushes

– Acrylic paints

– Gloss varnish

Step 1: Choosing a Base Figure

The first step in making a custom action figure is choosing a suitable base figure. For Luther, we recommend using a figure with a muscular build and similar clothing to his character in the show. One option could be the Marvel Legends Hercules figure.

Step 2: Disassembling the Base Figure

Once you have your base figure, you will need to disassemble it in order to sculpt and paint it. Use a screwdriver to remove any screws or clips holding the figure together, and carefully pull apart the limbs and torso.

Step 3: Sculpting the Body

Using epoxy putty, sculpt Luther’s muscles and clothing onto the base figure. Pay attention to details such as his distinctive tattoos and belt buckle. Allow the putty to dry and harden before sanding down any rough edges.

Step 4: Painting the Figure

Once the sculpting is complete, it’s time to paint the figure. Use acrylic paints to match Luther’s skin tone and clothing colors. Apply several thin coats of paint, allowing each coat to dry completely before adding the next. Finish with a coat of gloss varnish to protect the paint.

Step 5: Adding Details

To make the figure more realistic, add details such as shading and highlights to the muscles and clothing. Use a fine brush to add small details such as the tattoos and belt buckle.

Step 6: Assembling the Figure

Once the figure is painted and detailed, it’s time to reassemble it. Carefully fit the limbs and torso back together, making sure all the joints are securely attached.

Conclusion

Making a custom action figure can be a fun and rewarding project for fans of The Umbrella Academy. By following these steps, you can create a unique Luther Hargreeves figure to add to your collection.
