Hey guys this is my first custom so bare with me, this will probably take a while. This shoulder pad-less vegeta bootleg inspired me to turn it into a bardock. I had thoughts of getting the regular Kuji oozaru and using the arms from that but I don't wanna waste 100 bucks on arms- so I ordered some aves apoxy sculpt a sculpting tool set and an exacto set. I have to sculpt fur on the arms. Fill in the neck area and add fur there. sculpt the arm and leg bands, and ideally modify the armor a bit but we will see where it goes. I got it yesterday and I started with what I could do today since the epoxy isn't here yet. bardock doesn't have gloves So I sculpted all of the finger details, I have to add epoxy to form the nails once that gets in. This will be a long process but I'm gonna have fun with it and I hope it comes out well. Stay tuned.   Here are the hand details so far  |

I'm debating whether to do the leg things, he doesn't have them in that pic from the anime but I know bardock normally has them. What do you guys think? I know they're gonna be really hard to sculpt and get even

I think there should be leg details sculpting if you are referring to the red cloth like thing around his ankle 'cause you won't have demolished buildings like in the pics to cover them up when you pose this figure in your collection.  Is this the Ichiban Kuji Oozaru? |

I think he's referring to the skirt armor things, which Bardock has, but that isn't present in any shots from the actual special.
For my money, I would say add them, but only if you feel up to it. They are not present during the great ape scene, but Bardock does have them in the very next scene, which takes place after they've all powered down. Additionally, they're present in almost all the video game versions of Bardock's Oozaru transformation, leading me to believe it was an animation oversight.

Oh ok. Well GP I think you should add those armor flaps to give it that close to Bardock look(before the demolition process) or if you purely want to stay true to the scene then leave it as it is, might as well call it battle damage.

I'm gonna try my hand at sculpting them, if they don't come out good I will just leave them off. In the special there's an airborne scene during the oozaru attack and he does have them. But not in any of the close ups so definitely an animation oversight. We will see how it goes! Alden this is a Mexican bootleg of the ichiban Kuji oozaru. |

I can't wait to see the finished result, there aren't enough Oozaru customs imo. I still can't believe I never noticed the inconsistencies with Bardock's faulds/tassets in his great ape scene. I'm usually quick to notice things like that when watching movies or tv shows.

Aves got here today, did this front bit when I got home from work. Planning to do the back tomorrow once the front cures. Guys, sculpting is hard as hell, I'm scared to do the fur lol. I'm gonna have to do lots of practicing before I attempt it on the figure.  |

I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out. I'd try to give you some advice, but my sculpting skills are garbage.  |

Did the other arm tonight! Hardest part of this custom is done! Tomorrow night I will most likely do the arm bands and hand fur  |

Looking great so far, can't wait to see the final product.
Why did you decide to sculpt the fur arms yourself, instead of getting a bootleg IchibanKuji Oozaru and combining both figures?
