The Super Super Show


I'm showing 3 new sculptures at the Super Super group show. I decided to resculpt The Thing, The Falcon and Daredevil. I cut off all the parts that I don't like or need and then sculpt new parts. After all the mold making and casting is done, I paint the new parts and put them back together.
