this is an original green lantern named drone. i used a movie tomar re figure for the base, the head and the hands are from a robot bug that i picked up at walmart. painted the head and hands black, dry brushed gold, blue. his construct weapon is made from scratch using plexi. thanks for looking, comments are always welcome.
Yeah the more I read up on this stuff I agree I will need a dremel for future projects. For now I'll stick with mixing hands and heads that fit combined with some painting. Thanks for your help and keep the customs coming.
I appreciate your reply to my question. May I ask how you go about making the hole in the head to fit the peg? I am fairly new to all this and I could use all the help I can get. I have some Red Lanterns in the works. If it would help you I use skype, username saber4734.
one of the best tools you can get is a dremel tool. for the head I used a ball shaped cutting bit. you can use it for ball joints. you can check out the tutorials for tips and ideas for customs. you can also pick up small magnets at hobby stores that work well for attatching parts.
I really love this custom. I am not a fan of the movie version figures but you made one hell of a cool custom with one. I am curious of the exact origin of the bug head and is it full moveable? Also a side comment, you ought to sell GL constructs.
sorry but I do not know the specific figure that the bug parts came from. I think they are from a transformer kind of knock off. they where on clearance when I picked them up. as for the head it is still fully moveable. I just had to make the hole in the head a little bigger to fit the ball on the neck. thanks for looking and thanks for the comments
