Presenting: Green Lantern Hannu

INGREDIENTS:
- FF movie Thing 6" scale figure
- painted and sealed

SCULPTED BITS:
- Ring
- gave him some massive Traps
- top left shoulder has a taller rock
- back has 2 more raised rocky areas
- gave him a longer head
- enlarged brow
- lengthened his chin/jaw

I know this recipe has been done to death, but I've always wanted to make him and finally did, thanks to my nerd trip to Appleton last week...at $1.50 I couldn't pass on him again. I have him massive traps not just to alter the base figure, but to make him a little more proportional to his huge shoulders; I also have him an Easter Island Moai head sculpt, which grounds him a bit more.

I then just painted grey and blackwashed

May be a little difficult to see, but seeing as he's made of rock, I decided to make his eyes out of gold...

Right side...also gave the center of the Ring some neon green, for obvious reasons

Good looking Hannu. GLC has a ton of customizing opportunities. His was a character that I always enjoyed.

Cool. This was actually one of the first sculpting attempts I ever did on an action figure. He may be done be a lot of people, but that's only because he's such a necessity for any GL lineup.
