This is my 2nd custom so I am still new at this, my first custom was a repaint of Wolverine which I learnt a lot of lessons like using the correct glue (for steel blades) and gloss to finish it as the one I used on wolverine didn't react well to the paint.
This figure is made from a random figure I found, it had a torch in its mouth and lights. I had to remove the lights, changed the teeth, made the eyes bigger and completely changed the hands. I knew when I first seen the figure the head reminded me of Venom and thought I could make a venom never made before.
The figure has also had a complete repaint as the original was red. Any comments or advice would be much appreciated as I am keen to get advice from more experienced customisers.
Thanks
Shinigami - I didn't melt the fingers, the original hands were in a fist so I cut the fingers off and drilled holes in the knuckles. I then cut some wire and glued the wire into the hands to make fingers, a bit of sculpt and then dipped in rubber re-grip stuff. I hated the hands went the rubber was drying and had plans to take apart and do them again but once they are on the figure they look good.
Patraw - I am not sure what the base figure is, I have never seen it before and tried finding what the base figure was on google. On the figure its got a really small makers name and the words 'lazer wars'. It was also made in 1998 but google didn't find any useful results. I wish I had taken a picture of the figure before I started as it was very different with a torch in its mouth and completely red.
