FINAL FANTASY IV
GRAYBOMB PROJECT #586 CREATED: OCTOBER 2017 GrayBombs were the slightly more powerful cousin of the Bombs (though, truth be told, they're more blue than gray). These monsters appeared on the road to Fabul, the path leading to Mt. Hobs, and the island chain just north of Agart. They had this alarming tendency to self-destruct when attacked, potentially doing a great deal of harm to Cecil and his traveling companions. While a lone GrayBomb wasn't much of a threat, they tended to travel in packs, and it was not uncommon to find several GrayBombs and several regular Bombs colluding together. Later on, when Cecil and his friends encountered the dreaded MomBomb, she eventually separated into pieces and spawned multiple Bombs and GrayBombs. Working with the squishy foam material of the Madballs toys proved to be a challenge, since I had to cut off the parts that I didn't want, but the foam had a tendency to rip if I wasn't extremely careful. I had to use super glue to plug up the remaining gaps, and in some cases I used multiple coats of paint as well. I used the plastic handle from a push-up ice cream treat as a figure stand, allowing me to display him as if he were hovering in mid-air. |
