Custom Toy Fun Times: Beppy the Happy Bathysphere
I just completed my entry in Tenacious Toys' recent Mini Bomb Custom Show Off. I am calling him Beppy the Happy Bathysphere. Though he's more like a little submarine guy than a bathysphere. He's based off of a Kozik Mini Bomb, and was augmented with Sculpey and paint. The coins even glow in the dark! Because I am a nerd like that.
I changed the design of the Mini Bomb pretty drastically for this one, but I really wanted to do something a bit more sculpted, a bit less just painting on a bomb shape. I didn't want to draw a face on the bomb and call it good, you know? This was also the smallest custom I've painted yet, and really forced me to be more careful in my detailing. So much fun, so much delicious learning. Many thanks to Tenacious Toys for starting this!
