![[Donatello Aka Iron Turtle] Hello fellow realmers! This is my first entry in a set of Ninja Turtle/Avenger crossovers. I had the idea in my head for a while now and when I saw another member's Turtle/Lantern crossover I was inspired to give it a shot. I was lucky enough to find a Metalhead before vacation and when I got back I removed all limbs and cracked him open. I sanded down all joints to eliminate any rub and had a bit of a hard time using the metallic paints (it seemed like they wanted to rub off when applying a top coat). I used Tamiya metallic grey with two coats of Model Masters clear red over top, Tamiya chrome silver for the lighter metallics, and 2 coats of Model Masters gold. I made a special blend for Donnie's head because I like the original toy line colors better than the current. I extended the upper legs to give him some heigth and used a pair of Stealth Iron Man upper arms and some sculpt work to articulate the arms. Some more sculpt on the torso and random fodder for the arc reactor a](userimages/customs/44500/44161-1.jpg) Donatello Aka Iron Turtle | ![[Razaar] Pretty simple for this one, just took a Marvel Legends Beast and swapped the head for Razaar's. Sculpted some extra hair around the head, crotch, gluteus maximus, and on the chest and back. All that was left was paint. I'm really not too happy with this one. So many different types of brown I used that aren't even visible now, paint kept chipping, the photos don't help either.....it just sucked all together LOL. Comments and CC is welcome, thanks for looking.](userimages/customs/44000/43766-1.jpg) Razaar |
![[Tokka the Mutant Snapping Turtle] This is my beefed up version of Tokka! I wanted a Tokka to go with my Super Shredder and I wanted him to look as if he could go through block walls! This is my first real attempt at dry brushing as well as using an airbrush on figures (first two base coats) and also trying to achieve quality images with photography (I suck lol). I used a slew of parts on this one and a lot of custom scultping on the chest, hands, feet and shell. The shell was made using 2 part resin in a wine glass tipped on its side...The wine glass is ruined and the gf was not happy! Anyway, enough of my chatter and on to the recipe..........(Rahzar to follow soon)
Head and neck: original Tokka figure
Arms, Upper Legs, Waist: Maestro Hulk
Lower legs and feet: 2003 Hulk figure

Lots and lots Apoxie Sculpt](userimages/customs/43500/43048-1.jpg) Tokka the Mutant Snapping Turtle | ![[Super Shredder] I used a BL Hawkman for the bulk of this guy. I spliced the lower thigh of BL Hawkman to the upper thigh of AOA Sabretooth for height. I did this to keep him shorter to look more proportionate to the rest of the turtles I have and also for the use of the ball joints at the hips. I also repainted a BL Superman cape and attached it to the back. Painted with Model Master Acrylics. CC is welcome, thanks for looking.

![[Red Lantern Predator] This is custom #2 for myself and I am happy to finally have a Red Lantern Predator of my own. I borrowed the idea from another member and used the NECA Boar Predator for parts and added them to a Chris Benoit wrestling figure I picked up from the local dirt mall. I removed the head, hands, and lower legs from Benoit and added them back from the Pred. I shaved and sanded down the forearms to match the size of the wrists of the Pred and also smoothed over the netting on the upper calves so it would look as if the suit continued down to his feet. I sculpted the symbol and ring out of Avies and then painted with Testors Model Masters (I didn't paint any of the Pred stuff in case anyone is wondering). I finished him off by adding the shoulder paldrons. My detail painting is still something I need to work on, but I'm happy with the results for my #2. Comments are welcome, thanks!](userimages/customs/36500/36315-1.jpg) Red Lantern Predator DC Universeby HulkFTWThis is custom #2 for myself and I am happy to finally have a Red Lantern Predator of my own.

I removed the head and popped apart the body and dremeled away his neck to acquire the "no-neck" look of his original counterpart. I used Apoxie Sculpt to fill in where the neck area was, his yellow eye, his sharp teeth, and also to give the shell it's snapping turtle look. I made the belt from a random Donatello belt with the stars and grenade from a 1988 series Foot Soldier. The blades on his hand are made from a Leo-Prime Transformer slasher claw and his sword is an original Slash hilt with a random blade attached. I also dremeled out some scars on his chest. It was all painted with Model Master acrylic paints. Thanks for looking and constructive criticism is welcome.](userimages/customs/36000/35567-1.jpg) Slash the Evil Mutant Turtle |
