Guardians of the Galaxy!

I said I was making these guys months ago, which is true, but I ended up never getting a chance to photograph them and make a post until now. So Now I am very happy to present the Wrightworks Guardians of the Galaxy, in miniature form! I'm still an amateur photoshopper, but I think I got the backgrounds to look ok.


I do not claim ownership of the background images; they are stock photos I found on Google images

Justice League Thanksgiving

Last year I posted a Thanksgiving greeting from the Marvel superheroes, so this time, to do something different I decided to photograph the Justice League's turkey dinner. Most of these mini figures are fairly new so I haven't posted pictures of all of them before, but hopefully I will post some more in the future.

HalloweenWorks update

Check out the halloween mask I finished from last year of Kurse, from Thor the Dark World, on my other blog Halloweenworks! (click the link below)

Summer Projects

Ever since April, when Captain America 2 came out, my brother and I have been busy working on more and more miniature superheroes from the many summer movies of the year. I haven't gotten a chance to post pictures of the new characters we've been working on until now even though many of them were finished a while ago. So first up is Spiderman, whose new movie"The Amazing Spiderman 2" came out at the beginning of May this summer. However, if you are a common visitor to this blog and pay close attention to detail (congrats to the very few people who fit this description!), you may have noticed that there is a different spiderman minifigure in various other photos I have posted. This is because Spiderman is one of the characters that we Wrightworkers have made the most versions of over the years and are constantly trying to improve. Anyway, the Spiderman featured in these pictures is based on his appearance in the new movie (his costume and the web swinging visuals were my favorite aspects of the movie) and I was very pleased with the quality this figure turned out to have. So for these photos I decided to get creative and used some cutouts of city building photographs that I had. I was going for a realistic look with these and I think I achieved what I was going for, but hey, I'm no expert photographer. Enough rambling though, just look at the pictures!

The next character we made was Electro, who is the villain in the new Spiderman movie. I learned that light blue is not an easy color to photograph so it's a bit hard to see his face. I touched it up in photoshop which improved it slightly.

the next on is an image based on a movie poster featuring spiderman and electro. Obviously it's a bit dark but it does look similar to the official image which I have put on the right for comparison.

The next superhero movie of the summer was "Xmen Days of Future Past". Though I would like to make several more characters from that movie, the only one we have made so far is Magneto, who is a villain in the film. There he is in this photo below.

The next character is another Xmen villain, named Juggernaut. Though he is not in the new movie, i still wanted to make the character, so I based him off of a combination of appearances in videogames and the comic books. I should have included a photo of him next to another character so you could see that he is larger than all the other characters we have made. Because of his larger size, I made him out of a softer foam that was all dark blue, so I also had to paint all of the color on him. The character is known for his large, dome shaped helmet which I chose to make out of paper. It didn't turn out as round as I wanted it to be but i suppose I can always improve it later on If I think of a better method to use.

The last character I have pictures of is one that I actually started working on a year ago when the movie Man Of Steel came out, but he ended up becoming a delayed project that I was reluctant to work on due to his great detail. The character is General Zod, who faced off against Superman as the movie's powerful antagonist. he may have taken a long time for me to make, but that time paid off because I would dare say he is one of the best foam minifigures I have ever made due to his quality and intense detail. Unfortunately I only have one photo as of now but I will undoubtably be doing more photoshoots with him in the near future.

Thats all I have for now, but our current projects are characters from "Guardians of the Galaxy" which is the newest Marvel movie of the year and comes out this Friday, so I will try to post pictures of them very soon!

Just a little more Captain America!

Well, two months after the movie release of Captain America the Winter Soldier, I am finally getting around to posting pictures of the last of our miniature figure movie characters. First of all I have made a fan art poster for the movie with all of our figures in it, based on the actual posters for the movie, Which in my opinion are some of the coolest marvel movie posters I've seen in a while. Then I have included the last two characters from the movie, Cap's female co-star Black Widow, as well as the French mercenary villain Batroc (the Leaper)- as he is known in the comics.

This is my poster above, I put it all together in photoshop, each character was photographed separately in order for the camera to focus on their details. Obviously Im not a professional photoshopper but I think it looks decent. 

Characters from left to right: Batroc, Nick Fury, Winter Soldier, Captain America, Crossbones, Black Widow, and Falcon

And this is one of the official movie posters. I wanted to include all the characters instead of just the five seen here, and also I didn't have any miniature aircraft or explosions to include but oh well.

I thought Black Widow's character poster had the coolest look and I tried to use the same type of sky background for mine. 

 It is probably not noticeable to anyone but me and my brother, but the Black Widow miniature that we made is actually based on her Avengers outfit which varies slightly from in this movie (most notably her hair style). The point is that we actually made this figure about a year ago so she is not new like the rest of the characters. (The same goes for Nick Fury in my poster above) Anyway I still needed to take some pictures of her anyway, maybe we will make a new version when the Avengers 2 comes out.

And finally there is Batroc, who is a brand new figure made by the Wrightworkers. In the movie he has a unique fighting style involving kicking and acrobatic jumping- hence the name "the Leaper" so I tried to show some of that in this little fight scene between him and Cap below.

So thats it for my Captain America the Winter Soldier blog posting, next up, I will be showing some Amazing Spiderman 2 movie miniatures! and the summer movie season continues...

Falcon flies in Captain America TWS

It is hard to keep up with Summer Superhero movies now that Captain America the Winter Soldier and The Amazing Spiderman 2 have already been released and Xmen Days of Future Past comes out this Friday, so I have only just now gotten around to showing pictures of our newest miniature character from Cap's film. Falcon is Cap's superhero partner in the movie and this minifigure took quite a while to complete due to his details and mechanical wing jetpack, but that just made him one of the coolest wrightworks miniatures so far!

Of course I needed to do some photoshopping to erase the wire holding him in the air. He is supposed to fly after all!

And that is why jetpacks need to be real! Falcon is awesome!... more summer superhero stuff to come- the wrightworkers will be busy.

Cap fights Crossbones

The new movie "Captain America the Winter Soldier" may have been released about 2 and a half weeks ago, but we are not done creating our minifigures of characters from the movie! The newest one is Crossbones, or as he was known in the movie, Brock Rumlow, which is his alter ego. Though in the movie he does not actually become the villain "Crossbones" yet, I made his traditional comic book mask so he could still look like a villain. Hopefully Rumlow will don the mask in "Captain America 3", which comes out in 2016, but for now I will just have to be content with the design from the comics... oh well, it looks great anyway!
       Also scroll down to see new pictures of Captain America wearing his Strike team uniform as seen
       in the movie.

And here comes Cap sporting his new look as well!

And a struggle ensues! Try to ignore the tape and wires on the ground supporting them, I'm not a photoshop pro

Now, in case you were wondering, when I called it a mask, that did mean that it is removable! The mask is made of paper folded and glued together meticulously, and underneath is the face of Brock Rumlow!

And even more- his vest is removable to reveal a more movie accurate costume; the crossed straps are meant to resemble the crossbones image he wore on his chest in the comics, hence the villainous name.

But here comes Cap- to him, Rumlow is an ally but if you have seen the movie, you know that doesn't last...

Go ahead and try Crossbones, you can't keep up friendly appearances forever! 

So that's all that's new at Wrightworks today, up next will be Falcon- stay tuned.

Captain America vs the Winter soldier

The new Captain America movie has just been released in America so in celebration I have taken some photos of our new Winter Soldier figure fighting the newly made Captain America figure, this one being the WWII uniform version. I based the images off of some actual stills taken from the new movie, so now you can see them in miniature form!
I included the movie images for comparison. Stay tuned for more Wrightworks creations from Cap 2!
