RED TORNADO | ![]() |

![]() Well, not very far back, as luck would have it. The same day we found the base for the Acrobatic Robin Toy, we found this plastic snap-apart Tornado in the very same dollar bin. Came from a Hercules Happy Meal, I believe. So my tornado came sooner rather than later, and I decided to go ahead with the figure. I filled a few lines in Iron Man with contour putty, and I sanded and cut several other details off to make him as smooth as possible. Then, I painted him. Simple, eh?
One note: The Red Tornado can be removed from his tornado, but when painting, I put a rubber band around the base to hold the two parts together tight, and the extra sculpting I had to do was much less noticeable that way. I ended up painting right over the rubber band. So I probably won't be taking it apart anytime soon. He looks better in his base, anyway, and I don't have to worry about standing him up, especially since all that time he's spent inside the tornado has made him somewhat bow-legged. |
