| Spiderman The Guelph Plastic Modelers Group had a Figure Build Challenge. The challenge was to build a figure and enter the finished model into the BUFFCON 23 model contest in April, 2006. If you didn't finish, you had to buy lunch for the rest of the group! I had this kit as a youngster and thought it would make an interesting subject for a figure build. Luckily, Polar Lights re-issued the kit and I was able to pick one up on eBay. I never liked the setting very much, (the villian didn't look to scale) so I built a nonedescript setting using some extra melamine board that I had. I also replaced the web with my own scratchbuilt version. Base Kit(s): Polar Lights 'The Amazing Spiderman' (kit number 4100) Finished: March 2006 Modifications/Additions: - diorama setting replaced with melamine boards - all seams were filled and sanded (multiple times) - web made of clear stretched sprue, bent to shape, cut to length and assembled with CA and Kyrstal Klear glue - paint was some Golden brand acrylic paint from an art store, thinned and shot through my airbrish, over Tamiya white primer - web lines were done with 0.3 mm black permanent marker Awards: Ajax XXXI, Ajax, ON October 2011, Sci-Fi Theme Award - Comic Book Superheroes Click on Thumbnail to see detailed image.
