Four years ago this month, I presented my first angelic custom.
So it is with today as I present my last Angel custom.
Today I give you Mashmidan, which is Hebrew for destroyer.
I wanted to go out with something big, so this is what I came up with.
Mashmidan is made from the following parts:
Upper body and arms are from a LCBH Monkey-Man C+C/ B.A.F.
The legs are from a ML BAF Sentinel.
The flail is made from a section of a Toybiz Destroyer accessory, with a DCD Hawkman mace for the end of the handle.
The chain is a 5 strand braided chain braided by my wife, and the ball is from a light up bouncy ball.
The head is a random 12 inch scale head that I found on ebay.
Removing the hair was tough to say the least.
I used a dremel for the hair removal, but I did leave some on the back of the arms which I then dry brushed brown.
That is it. All done. When I started to make all of these angels I never would have guessed I would finish my last one 4 years l](userimages/customs/50000/49956-1.jpg) Warrior Angel Mashmidan My Heroesby EmmettAll good things must come to an end.

![[Changeling] So among the MANY ongoing figure collections I have going right now is my Titans collection, which will eventually consist of 11 of my favorite Titans members from various incarnations of the team. Now, I'm not all that fond of Mattel's Starfire (I could list about 3 good reasons for this, but just google it for yourselves) but in the end, the biggest crime in the line has to be their "Beast Boy." Like their first Sinestro figure, their Beast Boy looks ok... until he stands next to practically any other figure in the line. For some stupid reason, Mattel decided to make a modern/2008 version of Gar Logan, but put him on a body designed for 12 year old males.
So I've made/am making my own. I still want to spend a bit more time cleaning up (I've got the core of it done, just need to clean the edges) but I'm really happy with how he turned out... I used the YJ Superboy body, meaning he's still shorter than the other adult Titans, but not so much that he looks comical next to the](userimages/customs/50000/49885-1.jpg) Changeling DC Universeby TomatoisJPSo among the MANY ongoing figure collections I have going right now is my Titans collection, which will eventually consist of 11 of my favorite Titans...6 comments | ![[Archangel] I picked up a spare ML Archangel, just so I could paint the wings but went ahead and gave him a full makeover.

I both like, and don't like how Mike came out. The main thing is that I used gloss paints as part of the mix for his skin tone so he has a marginally different texture than the other Turtles. It's hard to tell since I sprayed all of them with a clear gloss coat of finisher, but you can *kind of* tell something is different.
We'll use Mike's entry to explain something very frustrating I ran into doing these and hope to fix in the next iteration. I painted up the weapons nicely, but the turtles grip them so tight that every time I tried to change them out it would destroy the paint job. I tried various mixes of paint, sealant, ect and nothing could get past that friction of initially trying to stick the weapon in his hand, so unfortunately all these guys are 'stuck' holding their secondary weapons which to me is cool and isn't at the same time.

Here's a gift for one of our beloved Realmers, Emmett. He's created an inspirational army of WONDERFUL Angels over the past couple of years. For nearly a year now, I've been wanting to create one for Emmett in the hopes that he may add it to his army. Every time he posts new ones on the Realm, I am inspired by his dedication and commitment to his hobby, not to mention, awed by his beautiful creations.

(the concept I mean) It's my Ninja Turtle based off Micheal Bays upcoming film well of course titled: Ninja Turtles! Predperation:This started out as a GOW 2 Skorg, removed all the paint, removed the Skorg head, and sanded down what needed to be sanded.
Sculpt: I only had to sculpt the head for him (which I thought turned out ok) which the head is a Halo: Reach Elite
Paint: Had to do lairs, and mixing on this guy! For the Green I did 2 lairs of dark Green. and 2 lairs of light, and 1 lair of mixed. For the orange, I just mixed it with some white and made it lighter. Then I did the shell, which is just lairing (I thought the shell came out ok)
Accesories: Custom NunChucks,and Lots of predator fodder!
So thats all! I hope to do the rest of the gang!

![[Angelo Macon (Reaver)] Inspired by Uncanny X-Men #281, I've always wanted to make this villainous band of cyborgs. As my first attempt at customizing I probably shouldn't have tackled the whole group at the same time, but I have enjoyed it.
Sculpey for the helmet and forearms, using a small flat head screwdriver for details. I carved and added some wiring to the forearms to make him more "robotic" looking.
Who doesn't fear red illuminating eyes!? I wanted to make them light up, but everything I found on the topic was with larger figures (more work space in the body cavity) :-P
So what I ended up doing was drilling out the back of the head and used a smaller drill bit to make the eyes holes.
Then I cut clear plastic from an empty hair gel bottle and placed the pieces in front (visor), on the top, and back of the head. Coloring the top and back "windows" with a red dry board marker. Happy with results, I'll save using LEDs for a future project. ;-) (Thanks Jason for the idea!)
