![[Juggernaut V. 5.5] This is an update of my most recent Juggernaut V.5..My aim in all my Juggernaut customs has been to give him a little bit better proportions than the faculty ML juggernaut with the gorilla arms. So once again I decided to revisit this figure changing the previous head/helmet for a ML casted Juggernaut head & helmet.
I also did a little work on the shoulders trying to a better job blending them in with the Red Hulk arms.
I placed it next to the ML Juggernaut for comparison in the last photo.

![[Hulkenstein] Tis the season to be scary. This figure(s) have been my in-between project, project. Usually do a little bit while other figures I am working are drying or curing.
Ever since I saw the Two Pack Hulk head I have been tinkering in the background in creating a Hulk-like Frankenstein. Also you may not be aware I am planning on being a Mad Scientist for Halloween and made my own set of steam-punk goggles that light up. So I figure I needed a MAD creation to go with the theme of Madness.
Obviously lots of fodder was used in both figures.
Hulkenstein has a professor hulk arm, hulk-buster Ironman hand, maestro left hand, modified head, modified feet. Sculpted armor on one and a deep sea diver boot on the other. used a MOTU Snout Spout backpack and lot of cogs and gears from Michael's. The hoses and wires come from a Star Trek Borg figure. So many of the Frankenstein pics I see are either greyish or green, so I settled on a patchwork scheme.

Using a Professor X body, due to the awesome amount of articulation and a Hobgoblin head for the crazy overtly menacing smile. The head was modified adding epoxy to the nose, chin, hair, ears, with some sanding. The tie was sculpted and the coat modified to make the waist coat with tail and padded shoulder look. Added spats and pointy toes to the shoes. Pin striped the pants. Most of that didnt take a long time. it was the gadgets that took more time. I love the Joker's gadgets almost as much as Batman's. So I repainted the mallet, and created a Joker Toxin Gun with gas effect. I went through a few versions of the gas effect before I was happy with this one. The back pack and gun came from a Gi Joe Destro figure.

![[Solomon Grundy] HEY.. First off a big Thank you to everyone for the warm welcome back on my previous two posts. Really meant a lot and motivated me to get the brushes out, cleaned and ready to go to work.
OK. I dont even know what got me thinking about ole Grundy here. Perhaps it's the pretty cool hitman version from the Brave and the Bold. Though I wanted to tackle that version of the character, I had to say that looking at the awesome grundy's on here, I felt motivated to do a classic style.
Recipe:
from the neck down it is a FA Grey Hulk. extended the lower arms by about a quarter inch while retaining the articulation.
Couldn't find boots big enough for Grundy so I removed the toes of the Grey Hulk, and went to sculpting. That was the only articulation lost. I think they turned out pretty good. Even added ear bud headphone wire for laces. I added a little bit of rubber to the sole of the boot to allow for him to be posed in mid stride like in Pic #3.
The head used was the one from the Edward Norton](userimages/customs/42500/42251-1.jpg) Solomon Grundy DC Universeby Madtinker76HEY..

Have to give a nod to Mr. Smiley for his MOTUC Darth Vader got me to thinking about tackling one of my own.
Base is MOTUC Count Marzo, lower legs, lower arms, and "kilt" are from a DCU Lex Luthor Battle suit. Armor from count Marzo.. Head and some of the fodder used is from a battle force Star Wars Darth Vader. Light saber is from fodder and the handle of a paint brush. I wanted him to have another accessory so I made him a shield using clear plastic I colored red and then painted with electric/lightning effects. Wanted to look like all his gear was technological in nature.
This time I painted the arms black, the cape is black with high black gloss trim, I took the light-saber and took it from the lance look to a more sword like design, using a hilt from a skeleton warrior I think.

I know at one time or more, Ben Grimm has reverted back to human form and has worn a mechanical suit. SO inspired by that I wrote a little narrative to go along with this custom.
In this reality Captain Ben Grimm was the pilot of the failed space mission, Baxter IV. This particular mission was a joint effort between Dr. Reed Richards and Tony Stark of Stark Enterprises. The objective of the crew was to successfully reach Mars and initiate construction of the first settlement for later human colonization. The crew would use four exoskeletons (X04) designed by Stark Enterprises to work in the hostile Martian environment. Not only were these “exoskeletons” built to provide extensive shielding from the elements and intense solar radiation that the Mars mission would expose the crew to, they were built to augment the strength of](userimages/customs/34500/34319-1.jpg) Mecha-Thing Alternate Reality Ben Grimm Marvel Legendsby Madtinker76Buzzing Beetle from head to toe with various fodder for backpack and knee pads and such. re-sculpted head to bring more the THING into the design.

Head= first movie hulk
Upper Torso=Maestro Hulk + heavy sculpting
Arms= BAF Red Hulk
Lower Torso= ML Abomination
Thighs and knees= Maestro hulk (extended the thighs and sculpted the leg muscles)
Lower legs= ML Abomination with sculpt for boots
Feet= Maestro Hulk
Armor= Foamie
Helmet= modified easter egg, epoxy and foamie.
The upper abdomen and thighs required a lot more sculpt thank my previous Juggernauts. Really like the way this one came out.
The helmet is fitted on the head but I made it so it can move with the head. So he can look up down and all around with the helmet still on. Get some cool charging poses with it.

I used the hands and the head, neck and mid chest from the Toy Biz Victor figure, Keeping the action feature (the pop-up brain). There is a lever in back that you move up and down and in turn the brain pops out and goes back in.
Lots of epoxy for the legs (including pants, belt, and belt buckle) and arms. The vest/jacket is a combination of foamie, epoxy, and headphone wire.

Another one that was on my shelf for months. Plus after seeing Stevid's recent Cable, I felt I needed to get mine done.
ML Cable Head with Bishop's body. LCBH Cyber's arm, MOTU 200X Man at Arms left hand. Omega Red shoulder pads, and various guns and fodder pieces.
One of the rifles is a LCBH Super Patriot's lower arm modified so Cable can have one of those wacked out over sized guns from the 90's.
Got to playing around with the costume colors a little. Black seems to be a trend lately and if the toy companies can simply give a figure an new paint job and give him some wacked out weapons and call him some special forces or water squad, then so could I. The Saturday Night Fever Cable is next. Just Kidding.
