How To Make An Epic DIY Lamp From Cheap Action Figures

ADVERTISEMENT

After you got that Green Lantern last Christmas, you thought your superhero lamp collection was complete. But you were wrong. Like a real Human Torch, Imgurian downtwobane has set the DIY community on fire with her spraypainted, Marvel Superhero lamp.

“My sister bought me some cheap Avengers playset at the Disney Store for my Birthday,” writes downtwobane. “I found a small lamp at the thrift store for $2.00 and super glued the figures to the lamp. Total cost to make the lamp was $15.00.”

    I admit I wouldn't have the courage to do this, but the result is great. It's like classic European sculpture decorated art, but with super heroes. Hence they used to sculpy mythological characters back then, so that kinda makes us simmilar too! This could be conceptual art as well.

    You don't need a lot of courage to do that you know ;) It's actually pretty fast, you glue the things, you apply primer (very fast, in a spray can), then golden spray paint and you're done :)

    I have a feeling the frozen one would look pretty cool in white, non glossy, just matte :D Cool idea though! They look pretty!

    You can also spray some "texture" (like the fake snow for the christmas tree) after the primer, and adding a coat of mate white, would be nice too ^^
