Post by: Dillingerentertains on April 05, 2010, 03:29:46 PM

hi this is the result of playing around with different figure's spider-man footballer etc its made with 2 white sempertex 260's stands 12inches tall it's quick to make & with just a little adjustment+accessories & different colour balloon it can be turned into just about any figure you like i also make it out of 360's a bit more work but well worth the effort talk soon

The first one is a 160 body with the head 260 inside a 260 clear and the second one is a 260 body wirh a 260 head inside a 360 clear. The head needs to be bigger on the second one so would do all in 360 for the head and helmet next time.
