This is the rest of the Watchmen, minus Ozymandius since I can't find the pieces to make a good one, from Alan Moore's twisted superhero tale, The Watchmen. Rounding out the team (from left to right) is Nite Owl II, the Silk Spectre, and Doctor Manhatten. Originally I made this set, including Rorschach and the Comedian to sell, but when I got done with them I just couldn't bring myself to sell them. So instead I'm putting them here for everyone to see.

Recipes: Okay let's start with Nite-Owl. He's simply a repaint of Moon Knight (Marvel's Batman). The hardest part was the cape which has these little black marks all over it to make him look more like an owl. Anyway just have some patience and steady hand. The only other thing about him is cut off Moon Knight's weapons and there you go.

Silk Spectre is the easiest one, just repaint a Tomoe and get as detailed as you want. I gave her the short skirt she was wearing from the first time you see her in costume, but you can do whatever you want.

Finally, Dr. Manhatten. He's a little more difficult because there's a lot to cut off. I used a dremel to grind down the horns, spikes, and back thing (?) and then stuck him on a flyer base. Painting him was really simple, just all blue, then a black speedo (:bleh:) and eyes and the symbol for hydrogen on his forehead and he's done.

With that you've all but completed your Watchmen team, but that just leaves Ozymandius. He'll be made soon enough, but for now you at least have the heroes.

The Watchmen copyrighted to Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons.

Thanks!

Its great book, but if you really like superheroes, then you probably should stay away from it, its very very very depressing.

Just because chickens aren't blue doesn't mean yogurt explodes when you sprinkle mountains on the fish.

Harry Potter makes you cry? Hmm...that's odd isn't it? Then again I've never read any HP books, although my friends have somehow managed to get me to sit through the first two movies after years of managing to avoid them. The scary part is...I kinda liked 'em so now I'm watching the next two in preparation for the new one.

You've never read them?!?!? I think they're better than the movies, but that's just my opinion XD
It's pretty good stuff actually, but I only cry when someone dies or something like that....
So.... that makes it.... kinda less pathetic...
But not by much :laughing:
