Electronix

Posted by Dad's Army on 18 Jun 2023, 17:05

I wanted to come up with a converted figure for FIGZ, an idea I've had in my head for years. An electrician who short-circuited.
This is particularly evident by his upright hair. To add some emphasis, I made an electricity cabinet with a flashing light and some smoke for extra effect. I myself am very happy with the result, the step-by-step I have shown again on my blog for those who are interested.

A great creation, and a humorous figure too! Nice work :yeah: :-D

I like the base and the sub-station box very much; maybe a little more 'blackening' inside the box is required to help show this unfortunate accident?

Another very clever and fun figure Remco.

I hope he's got rubber soles on those sandals.

Thanks all, it was a fun project, at FIGZ someone told me I could better give him another name.

Not Electronix, but Electrocutix (what sounds indeed better)
