Welcome to the Dorway Studios tutorial for Omega Red. This tutorial is not to show how to mod a figure the cheapest, the best, or the only way. The point of the tutorial is to show you, how *I* will create the mod. Are there other ways, cheaper ways, or better ways? Possibly to probably. But part of the fun of learning (at least to me) is seeing how someone else approaches a problem and experimenting until you find a way that works for YOU. The following is MY method for building the X-men villain Omega Red.

Step One - Research

Comics are by their nature, fickle - different artists, different writers, different editors, all contribute to a certain…inconsistency from issue to issue, page to page and most importantly to what we're trying to accomplish view to view of the same character. I've found the best way to overcome this is research. Gather as many issues of the character as you can and find, hopefully at minimum, a good front view and a good back view of the character. Personally, I try to get no less than four pictures from varying angles before starting. The images I'm using are included below. (Click to enlarge.)
