3" Anatomical Vinylmation (SOLD)

This custom Vinylmation started out as just fooling around with a 3" white blank figure. I wanted to see how easy it would be to chop one in half, so I took a hair dryer to soften the vinyl, and a very big knife and boom! Easy as that. Next was coming up with something interesting to actually do with the vinyl. I stewed around with some ideas fr a few days and finally settled on making an anatomical Mickey. He's not exactly scientifically accurate, but it gives a decent representation of a body under the skin. I modeled the organs and their locations after human organs. Everything anatomical on this vinyl was sculpted with Aves Apoxie. For the base I repainted a Mcfarlane Halo helmet display, and used some magnets to help hold the head up and to attach the interchangable hearts.

I thought it would be cool to show the insides of a Mickey without eing too gross and graphic. I think I pulled it off with some cute details and only a few dabs of blood on the brain. The lungs, intestines, brain, ear brain, cartoony heart, and realistic heart were sculpted with Aves Apoxie. Rare earth magnets about 1/16 of an inch can be used to interchange the cartoony and realistic heart like an accessory. I painted the outside muscles in patterns so they would look like they could move independantly. My girlfriend thought it would be cool to do part of the head as a skull and the other part as muscle tissue. I took Val's advice and love how it turned out thanks babe!!! For the skull half, I painted the pie eye with some brain seen through it. The only marker I used was for the teeth and the crack on the top of the skull. I made the crack in the skull so that the ear would look like it was brain sort of coming out of the skull just for a cool effect. Finally for a base I tried to give it a rusty metal feel, so I gave a McFarlane Halo helmet display a full repaint. Added more magnets to the top of the base, and Mickey's head stays on easily (even weighing as much as it does with all that Apoxie brain!)
