![[Batman Beyond] This was definitely my most ambitious custom, but definitely my best so far. I started this before the recent surge of batman beyond customs, its just taken a long time to make and post but I'm glad I finally get to share it with all of you.
This started with the left overs from 2 different sigma six figs after my psycho mantis custom. Opening up those sigma 6 was a really bad idea. I continue to advise anyone using them to leave them as is, even if you don't like the arms, legs etc. because the exact same character will have different joints on versions.
There is a lot of apoxy on this. The whole head was covered, the bat symbol on the chest, the arms to make it more lean and lest muscular, the belt, the batarang, and the feet for the pointed animated batman look. Instead of hand painting it black, I used Krylon fusion for plastic to cover the whole thing, then hand painted where I needed to. It worked well. Tip for anyone who wants to try it, remember just cover the fig, don't spra](userimages/customs/15500/15425-1.jpg) Batman Beyond Batman Beyondby Mangz0rThis was definitely my most ambitious custom, but definitely my best so far.

They did a good job maintaining the characters personalities. Mikey is still a geeky comic/tv loving goof ball, and as such they let him become his own super hero "Turtle Titan".
I thought the turtle titan figure that was made looks really bad so I thought id make one for myself that was better, and I'm really happy with the results. I started with a movie TMNT mikey that I got at a yard sale. I made the cape out of a TNA wrestlers vest. For the fig I used a lot of aves apoxy. Besides apoxie: The Nunchakus used some extra chain from a spawn, the grappling hook was made with drink stirring straws, and the shield with some packaging from another fig. The top of the head was sculpted to look like his hood, the legs like boots and the one gloved hand
Let me know what you think.](userimages/customs/15500/15424-1.jpg) Turtle Titan |
![[Me] Yay, this is my 10th custom!!! I thought it fitting that my first double digit would be a little version of myself. I bought a white blank vinyl munni, with a gift certificate. aves apoxy was used for the brim of my red stripe hat, and everything else was painted with reaper paints and sealed with modge podge.

I wanted to do the whole camo thing, but it wasn't turning out how I wanted and was taking way too long. Still looks good. I think I'm gonna go back to the style of the first battletech I did, for the next one.

![[Spiderman: India] Spiderman: India is the reimagining of the basic spiderman story as if it had been set in India. Its a nice little read (4-5 issues or 1 compilation). I also liked the art and the little nuances they threw in from the original(which are not very subtle).
Anyway I wanted to recreate that flavor of old spidey in a new way.
its a TNA figure, with the loin cloth from legendary hero's conan. I used aves to sculpt over the head, the cuff of the pants, and the tip of the shoes.
the pants came out really well, with my first real successfull wash. All of the webbing is hand done with an ultra fine sharpie.
I encourage everyone to atleast google the image for spidey india so you can see the original drawing

I had bought the same toybiz goblin long before he posted his custom. I had been debating doing something to it cuz I loved the face/hands/boots/shape but the armor was stupid and the color wrong. But once I saw pinkspacedog's custom I knew that it was defintitely worth doing.
same story here, the body is hollow so when I cut off the armor I had to apoxie over it, it came out ok even though this was my first time using the apoxie. the green I used came out much brighter in the pictures. citadel lich purple and goblin green.
I made a pumpkin bomb out of left over sculpey

![[Psycho Mantis] First props go out to shinobitron.
i originally was gonna do the ninja before i saw shinobitrons mantis, after that i wanted one too and also i though that phycho mantis might be easier to start with.
boy was i wrong. My final mantis is made from 4 different sigma six, and i learned an important lesson. Don't mix and match sigma six. I have two identical storm shadows, but inside the shoulders and hips are different. By the time i realized that it was too late.
also i used sculpey 3 instead of super sculpey for the mask (not removable), not sure how much of a difference that makes, but i use aves now anyway. I completely mangled the neck peg(which is different sized for different sigma), and had to make one from a small nail and some cork i dremeled into a sphere. The lines on the body are small strips of pleather, usuing more crazy glue then i ever wanna see again.
but in the end i like it, and hope others do too

It was long before I thought about doing any custom figures, but the figures I saw were either tiny or really expensive. Besides most of the places I saw were overfilled with these kits, most more expensive and elaborate then what I bought.
but once I started doing custom stuff I figured I might as well make it seeing how it was just sitting in the box otherwise.
it was more work than I thought, I had to shave and sand the sharp mold points off, glue, and assemble. the paint looks worse in the photos but otherwise I think I came out ok.

![[Battletech] Finally getting a chance to upload some new ones,
this is some old battletech figure i've had, and i liked the shape but never was crazy about the color, so i painted it, it didn't come out quite like i imagined, but then again i didn't have any plans. Basically trying to teach myself about dry brushing and washes.

Base is probably from one of the animated series. I painted everything, but the head with the exception of the earings.
As with my superman I used, Reaper's Dragon Black, Blood red, and Flesh. For the bracelets I used citadel chainmail. This time I used a thinned out modge podge to seal it, and I think that worked out a lot better.

![[Red Son Superman] This is my second figure, hope you all like it. I loved the Red Son story so I wanted to make my own even though I have the packaged version.
Its a superman returns standard figure, I dremeled down the "S" insignia to make it flat for the hammer and sickle(I hope I did ok on that), I also dremeled off the "s" on the back of the boots.
I started with a primer of Reaper Dragon white, then I used Reaper ash grey for the suit, with Blood red, flesh tone for the hands and neck, and a mix of 1/3 black to 2/3 ash grey for the undies and the boot lining.
Oh and sorry the lighting is bad, I kept trying but I couldnt get good details without the flash, ill work on that for next time.
Please leave some comments, thanks.](userimages/customs/9000/8839-1.jpg) Red Son Superman Supermanby Mangz0rThis is my second figure, hope you all like it. I loved the Red Son story so I wanted to make my own even though I have the packaged version.

Because this was my first one I didn't want to get too complicated with using the dremmel or any sculpey, even though I probably could have taken further if I did. I just stuck to a good old fashioned re-paint, which I'm just learning to do.
I started with a base coat of reaper's dragon white as a primer-ish layer, then I used citadel regal blue for the hands, boots, and helmet, and reaper's slate for the body, head stripe and eyes.
I used blue painters tape to get the crisp clean lines (especially on the undies, cuz NT warrior doesn't wear it like that). There is a coat of modge podge matte over everything because it was chipping in a few slight areas, but it gives it a nice sheen.
Oh and before I forget I have to thank all those who did tutorials on here.
