Hugh Jackman as Logan (Wolverine) from X-Men

This is a 1/6 kit of unknown origin already built and painted when I acquired it on Ebay a few years ago. It was a well sculpted kit with close resemblance to Hugh Jackman from the X-Men movie but poorly painted when I first bought it. The sculpt work itself has been in my experience the most important part, just like the intrinsic or inborn features of the kit itself. Under the right hands, repainting it can easily bring it back to life. In addition to finding the right artist to revive the kit through repainting it, I also added some more values to it. The claws were originally made out of resin which in my opinion can never mimic real steel or metal. Therefore, I asked a machinist to machine out the claws for me. So my Logan has real stainless steel claws. Also, this kit didn’t come with a decent base. Bases are very tricky and challenging to find on many occasions. I was lucky enough to come across this one when I went to Wonderfest in Louisville on one occasion. I found this base from a seller there who had a batch of bases literally on the floor. I didn’t know at the time which kit will the base be good for. But in the right time, I found a good use of it. A great part of the fun is to make your kit unique. Therefore, even sometimes when kits come with bases I would still find better replacements for them, just to make them all the more special. The more effort you put in, the more enjoyment and satisfaction you usually get at the end. This Logan is one such good example from my private collection.
