![[Logan (Wolverine)] I take ZERO credit for this as it's clearly CAb00se's recipe, and he thought of it first but I just had to have one of my own.
This has to be the easiest, yet most effective custom EVER! Head-swap and you're 90% done already!
My only difference from the one CAb00se did are no hair on the arms (yet) and claws. They are simple nails from Home Depot, but at this scale I figure they look just fine! Plus, they're METAL which is definitely a plus!](userimages/customs/37500/37306-1.jpg) Logan (Wolverine) X-Menby baldaharkI take ZERO credit for this as it's clearly CAb00se's recipe, and he thought of it first but I just had to have one of my own.

The Crisis body makes the perfect 'Reeve' body. I just reworked the leg positioning and fixed him up with a longer cape, gave him the New Krypton Head, which is obviously supposed to be Reeve anyway, and you get a quick and effective custom!!

![[Punisher MAX (Mark III)] I was pretty happy with my last one, and although in the current MAX book, Frank tends to wear just a regular jacket like in my MK II, it just didn't scream 'Punisher' to me.
Scored a Sin City Marv, and his long coat sealed the deal!

It's my spare Highlander body and 24 head- which is surprisingly passable at this scale!
The armor is just cut up cardboard, but with the superglue it's hard as a rock now- the Highlander body is super skinny once you take the cape off, so I thickened him up a bit with clay, and used real fabric for all the drapery around him. Now it looks better.
Also lengthened the sword so he could hold it like in the poster.
After that, it was tons of black wash and brown wash to make him dirty as hell, then a lot of red dry brushing and splatter!
I showed my girlfriend and she said 'Oh cool, Braveheart! What did you do-- add more blood to it?' lol she thought it was an actual William Wallace figure that was bought at a store! I guess that's the best compliment you could hope for when you think about it!](userimages/customs/31000/30785-1.jpg) William Wallace (Braveheart) Movie Mastersby baldahark( made from leftovers from my Connor Macleod custom ;) )

![[1986 Connor Macleod (Highlander)] As much as I loved the Neca Highlander 2-pack, I always thought it was stupid how they included the Kurgan in an action pose, but Connor was posed exactly like in the movie poster.

![[Sub-Zero] I think I may buy another Ninja Gaiden fig and make Scorpion to go with him. This is the non fancy 'MK 1' version of Sub-Zero, since I didn't feel like putting alot of detail in the fabric (too lazy)
I used an old shirt for the fabric
I'm on the fence about painting the gauntlets as well- some versions of Sub-Zero have blue gauntlets (Mythologies comes to mind) but I think I'm leaning more against it.
The best part is, he keeps ALL of the articulation!

The main problem was that not one damn thing on him moved! I originally wanted to use the newer Neca Terminator- but didn't have the heart to butcher them, so I used some old fodder I had lying around and this was the result.
However this weekend, I was in my hometown and stopped by a store on a whim and actually managed to find the Neca 'T2: 3D' Arnold on CLEARANCE!
Back in business!
Now it looks significantly better- he has all of his articulation, and doesn't just have to stand there anymore. Check it out now!
I'm pretty happy with it now- if I can find a McFarlane Neo for cheap I might make it so I can swap out the jacket for the trench coat- since the arms pop right out- that would be a nice touch, I think....
In the original Punisher Max from a few years back, Castle frequently wore a trench coat, but in the current PunisherMAX series, he tends to wear a regular jacket (I guess he looks more lik](userimages/customs/29500/29495-1.jpg) Punisher MAX (Mark II) Punisherby baldaharkI wasn't jumping with joy over the head (Neca Patrick Bateman) but it grew on me.

![[Punisher MAX] I love The Punisher- especially the MAX series- I love that he's old, I love how he just smeared the skull over his vest like he doesn't give a ****, I love how he's practically in civilian clothes (more realistic)
So here he is- I'm pretty unhappy with the head- all I had available with slicked back hair was Patrick Bateman.... I did what I could to make him look older. I will try a wash of paint to try and fill in the wrinkles, and some stubble couldn't hurt.... but here he is now. I may end up just repainting him from scratch, but I'm scared to attempt the eyes. The body is a McFarlane T3 with a T2 jacket and right arm.
Thoughts? (keep in mind I haven't customized anything in like 4 years) Advice is welcome too!](userimages/customs/29000/28755-1.jpg) Punisher MAX Punisherby baldaharkI love The Punisher- especially the MAX series- I love that he's old, I love how he just smeared the skull over his vest like he doesn't give a ****, ...1 comments | ![[Metal Gear Solid 3 BIG BOSS] Took a MGS Anniversary Big Boss figure and built clothes and painted camo patterns so that h would look more like he did throughout most of the game (why didn't they release him in this outfit in the first place?)](userimages/customs/11000/10781-1.jpg) Metal Gear Solid 3 BIG BOSS Metal Gear Solidby baldaharkTook a MGS Anniversary Big Boss figure and built clothes and painted camo patterns so that h would look more like he did throughout most of the game (...2 comments |
