Sillof’s Workshop
Hm; I can’t believe I haven’t mentioned Sillof before now, but my archive turns up nothin’. Time to remedy that.
Sillof is a self-taught sculptor (his day job is a high-school history teacher) who specializes in wonderful kitbashed action figures. His figure collections include a steampunk version of Star Wars, a Gaslight Justice League (including villains), and a set of “Victorian Avengers” (which for some reason have vanished from his site, but the Wayback Machine has descriptions and photos are available here).
In addition to simply being splendidly detailed, the figures all seem somehow plausible: Of course a steampunk Hawkgirl would have clockwork wings, and Black Manta would wear a vintage diving suit. The figures are great inspiration, not only for making models of your own, but also for cosplay ideas. I definitely want to sew a gaslight vampire hunter costume based on Sillof’s Blade.
