![[Merman] Updated Thanks to Bob-the-odd for being awesome enough to send me some spare weapons he had.......Thanks a million Bud!!!!!. The third picture has the original weapons I gave him and I think you'll all agree he looks much better with the proper ones.
Man!!!, really loving the MOTU kick I've been on lately, next up is Merman. One of my favourites as a kid, I liked his face and green and yellow colour scheme. So I went for a mix of classic and new once again, hope you all like the result as much as I do.....
Recipe
Base = DCUC modern Guardian
Head = 200x merman
Lower arms = 200x merman
Lower legs and feet = 200x merman re worked the feet to fit the DC articulation and sculpted armour on feet and bottom of legs
Armour and loin cloth = 200x merman, sliced the armour and reattached at an angle so it doesn't hamper the ab crunch.
Sword = Chaos comics Azure lady death, paint brush for handle and a little bit of wire.

His tally chart on the blackboard totals 50 as a little tribute to my customizing milestone. I also added the slime on the base as a nod to some of the old 80s toys that were obsessed with slime. After I'd finished it I found some LEDs and thought, why not?, you're only 50 once. Anyhoo, here's my recipe:
Base= DCUC Vigilante
Head=200x trapjaw, used hot glue to fill it in and create a peg hole.
Right arm and lower left and hand=200x trapjaw.
Right torso=200x trapjaw, dremmel to fit and sculpt in the gaps.
Crotch piece= 200x trapjaw, dremmel to fit
Upper legs=200x trapjaw green things, foamy, sculpt and wire.
Kneepads=200x trapjaw
Lower legs= sculpt and wire
Feet and ankle joint= DCUC Black suit supes, to eliminate paint rub.
Belt=WCW Championship belt, face off a hero quest skeleton, sculpt and wire.
Weapons= Easily but firmly slot into gun arm
Claw hand= Bionicle lego
Gun hand = some random cheap gun

Base= Jakks WWE Deluxe
Head = Vintage LJN Vultureman with a Beta Ray Bill head shaved down and sculpted inside. The whole bottom half of the head is sculpted.

Really enjoyed working on heman and decided to do a few more, well I say a few but this is the last till I find more 200x stuff. Interesting thing about this one is that there is hardly any sculpting material on there at all, this wasn't done by design just kind of a fluke and after I'd nearly finished I had to break out the sculpt to fill in where I dremmeled too much of the boot tops, and decided to fill in peg holes too.
Recipe:
Base = DCU Deathstroke
Head and neck assembly = 200x Mekaneck, a lot of work went into this bit, all of the top half of his back is made of foam to keep the weight down and prevent top heavyness (?????).
Shoulders and chest piece = 200x Mekaneck
Forearms and hands = 200x Mekaneck, the tops of his gauntlet things are foamy

I found a heman figure cheap and thought why not it's about time I delve into other childhood cartoons (the Thundercats aren't over yet though hahaha). I used Jin's awesome He-man for most of my visual reference on this one as I'm not at all familiar with this era. Wanted a mix of the two though old and new.

Picked up the wolvie real cheap and a couple turtles too, after comparing the two I realised the sizes where pretty similar. It really puzzles me that although the turtles have been around for years we still only have one decent figure line (Neca), I mean all the rest have just been terrible IMO, and the price these things are fetching now meant my only option was to make my own. I'm planning on making the other turtles when I can track down the parts needed. After I finished the main project I thought it would be kinda fun to make a storyline of the day the ooze happened. This was also a good way to incorporate the slime aspect of the contest.

![[Tygra AKA "the Watcher"] Here's my entry into the custom challenge between myself and Mega_Star_Andro. Also the latest in my Thundercats AKA line (this challenge was right up my street). I made Tygra to be taller than the rest of my tcats as in most cartoons the clever one is often depicted as the tallest. So he's over 10" tall and he's whopper. Also wanted to make him look a bit more real worldy (??) in is colouring so I played down the cartoony orange look he has.
Here's his story:
After the Thundarians escaped their dying planet they went into stasis. During their stasis Jaga, (who had stayed awake to pilot the ship), became very old and very frail. It was inevitable that he would soon pass. After he died the ship was left pilotless and crashed into a red planet just near third earth. However, before the ship crashed the stasis pods were ejected into space. Each pod scattered from the stricken ship in different directions.

Sadly no one took the challenge so I went ahead and did it anyway. The FFF challenge was to make a figure entirely out of fodder, I had so many great looking pieces and just wanted to use them.
So what's with the "what's in a name" title? I hear you ask, well let me explain. I have little to no knowledge whatsoever on Frankencastle apart from the fact he likes guns so I made my own interpretation based on his name and thought guns??, nah swords are much cooler. My only visual reference was the amazing Frankencastle Asch gave us not long ago so thanks Asch!!. Now after the challenge got no takers I decided to break the rules and pull a moonknight apart for bits, it just looks better.

I was originally gonna just use the ironfist figure for full articulation but I liked the zombie like stance of this figure more. I also grafted in the ankle joint off a WWE figure to make the head able to tilt forward and backward as well as sideways. I sculpted the entire top half of the figure, t-shirt muscles and wound.

1.Removed Anne's hair, jacket and belt then sanded down her socks, shoulders, wrists, trainers and top of t-shirt.
2.Sculpted her new hair and her shoulder pad. Sculpted ears after it had dried.
3.made tops of boots, arm band and neck thing from foam lolly sticks.
4.Made a skirt from bits of a LOTR Aragorn coat (see WIP shot).
5.Decided the skirt was rubbish so changed it for a piece of foam sheet.
6.Used ML longshot's man bag for her little satchel and belt.
7.Glued pieces of an old 360 controller inards onto top of boots to make her gems.
8.Painted all joints and glue shielded the lot.
9.Stuck on a printed picture of the cat emblem and painted over it.
10.Painted rest of the figure using GW paints.

![[Tygra V2] Well, back on the Tcats again. Here is my fifth good thundercat and version 2 of Tygra. I'm not 100% happy with a few things on this guy such as his vest and the colour of his arms and legs but he'll do for now. Onto the recipe:
1.Gave Zack a good washing and removed limbs.
2.Shaved down all the joints to prevent paint rub and removed hair. Reattached limbs.
3.Sculpted on the vest and hair using aves fixit.
4.Swapped hands with a big show figure to get rid of the wrist tape.
5.Used a wrestlers elbow pad for one arm and two rubber washers for the other.
6.Cut out toes and heels from boots and sculpted new ones in.
7.Foam lolly pop (popsicle) sticks for the tops of his boots and sculpt for the gems.
8.Used A random handle from my fodder box for his bolo whips handle and twistie ties for the whip with three fodder balls glued to the ends (Whip is fully posable).
9.Painted joints with GW paints and glue shielded them all.
10.Stuck a printed picture of the cat symbol on.

After being shunned by the rest of the horsemen famine decided he was fed up of being the butt of the horsemens jokes, he decided to seek his revenge. So as the rest of the four slept he silently crept down to the crypts of hades where the three were resting peacefully. "Revenge will be mine" he hissed from between his frail lips, "I will be strong again". With those words he swallowed the rest of the horsemen whole, dislocating his jaw with a loud click. After some time had passed he gradually started to notice "side effects" of his actions. At first he wasn't sure if it was a punishment from the devil or a reward from god for his help in destroying the horsemen. He soon realised the truth as his body started to swell to blob like proportions. This was his true calling and fate had decided all that had led to him seeking his revenge. He grew bigger and bigger and slowly something more sinister started to happen.](userimages/customs/17500/17396-1.jpg) Sin-Biote Originalby EDarthTWelcome all to the apocalypse!!.
