Sculpting My Childhood (Updated 12/24/22)

That's too bad about the Harley. It's difficult with these figures in a way. Between the inaccurate scaling of the bikes, to the restrictions of the figure, makes it difficult to get that "natural" look. So far, the only "bikes" I have that actually work with figures have been either Star Wars related, or (I think) video game or comic-book movie-related -- so not "real".

By the way, I think you did a pretty good job on the hair work for the figure.

He looks good to me! I'm still so impressed that you resculpted him like that, it looks amazing.

The bike scale thing is so frustrating. I just bought another Harley. It's probably the wrong scale too, though. lol

Thank you. The hair was a bigger challenge than I thought it would be.

Thank you so much! I'm honestly surprised he turned out as well as he did considering I haven't done any sculpting in several years.

keep the Barbie Harley, it's patterned after the one used in some of the BoyMeetsWorld promo photos--

use some different postures that don't involve "riding" the bike,
you'll have multiple figures in most of your photos, right?

That's a good idea about the posing not involving riding the bike. I'll have two for sure. Turner and Shawn. Possibly Topanga and Cory as well.

The only problem with the Harley in the promo is that it's not Turner's bike (I do love that picture). Thanks though.

His is this one:

I have to admit I never watched this show (way, way past my time), so I had no idea this is who we’re making; now I’m doubly impressed with this figure. Excellent work.

Thank you! That really means a lot to me.

It is a bit on the small side, but I still think the Barbie Harley has a lot of potential -- especially if you pose it with smaller bodies. Until recently, my customized version was Arnie's official ride.

That Arnie is just dope. Always nice to see him again.

Thanks Simon, but let's not hijack this thread. In its own thread, you can also see young Connor.

Oooh, that looks really good! I've seen the Barbie Harley but wasn't sure what it looked like. Hmmm, I think I may need to see if I can get my hands on one.

I thought that's what you were using -- or at least talking about -- hence bringing it up. I did repaint it, changed the license plate, cut off some of the light on the handles to be movie accurate, and made some saddlebags. But Arnie did tower over it more than he should, so it would look better with a smaller figure.

I missed the Barbie part. Mine is an RC Harley and it's too big for my figure. I have a feeling it would be a better fit for your Arnie.

Love all customizing you did. It looks fantastic!

I guess we were talking past each other. I actually upgraded to the RC Harley, which is about the right size scale-wise. I have it in some other sets of photos.

Sorry, my attention span is all over the place right now. Hard to keep things straight. I really do need to look into the Barbie Harley. Thanks.

I sacrificed scale for screen accuracy. I can live with it. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday season!

Looks good. Merry Christmas!

He turned out so well! Happy holidays!

I agree, looks great, and it's nice to see part of your childhood (and ours) come into 3D shape.
Merry Christmas!
