Shapps W.I.P Page! (updated 09/09/12}

Lookin' hot!

Nice work on that Grifter.

so freakin fantastick, epic and other monumental words. great job loving it bud.

Hey guys, decided to start working on a new figure I've wanted for a long time now.

Step one was to dremel this head down to fit the neck peg


Next step I had to shave down the neck on the ml punisher. Shaved a ton down and shortened the neck.


Removed the skull and added the grenade belt which was from duke nukem


Took HOM Wolverine arms, removed the peg to the hands, removed one whole section of bullseyes glove (as it was way too long), glued the peg to the gloves and you get what you see


Removed the lower legs from smc scorpion and attached them to the punisher


Added these fodder shoulder pads to the jacket


Aaaaaaaand you get this




What do you guys think?

Awesome!

great work shapp, love it and really awesome about the plasti dip, it really does tighten up well.

Who's it going to be? Looks like the Vision now.

That turned out pretty good.

Here are two close up pics of the head after tightening, I know they aren't the best but the beer I could get

Nice work on these. I'm also looking forward to seeing how that head turns out with the dip on it.

Love everything in seeing! Now as for the plastidip? I need to see this as it tightens up. Love the cat face! Great work on the neck mod!

Hey guys and gals =D just a bit of simple work today but I was really proud of how it turned out =)

started with a ML 4 Jim Lee Beast and a XMC Stealth Beast head


the two different heads close up


as you can see in the pic, the holes weren't the same so I had to dremel and sand it down


using this


and this


next I had to cut the neck peg off because it was just too long and I was afraid of dremeling right through the top of the XMC head


ended up taking a bit more off than this but didn't take a pic of that


and here is the end result after reattaching the neck peg =p






side view (sorry for the blur, I'm getting sleepy lol)




Let me know what you guys think as I really love the cat face beast. I know the size is a tad small for the body but I actually like it that way and at the end of the day, it's my figure lol

Also started working on this today, I had to sand down the face to get it as smooth as possible (I didn't do this sculpting, whoever I got it from did and I can't remember who that was so credit to you person I forget)


then I used this


to do this


I know it looks like a blob of black at the moment but I promise it will tighten up a crazy amount and I'll show you another pic tomorrow of that =)

G' Night everyone and thanks for looking at my paltry workings

Sweet. Glad the peg worked out for you!

wow, shapp you are freakin killin it bud. absolutely love the fall out guy and know hulksmasheme=( will love the spiderman noir and can't wait to see counts paint. keep up the excellent work, really loving it.

Got this rad motorcycle from the movie blade figure

@darth, thanks man! It means a lot to have you comment on my thread

Took the hands from lcbh conan (love their size) and swapped them with crimson dynamos


Next I drilled a home in his foot for a peg I had to make



Dremeled a home for the peg to the backpack


So now he can hold guns and his removable backpack stays on

Spidey's looking cool, I'm particularly into the way you bent the scarf for the fallout dude!

Getting closer to being finished, just some little things yet aaaaaaaand it may get one of counts signature paints

Quick pic of the arm after sanding down the raised parts


attached a canister type object to his chest



At the suggestion of count, I created a peg for this backpack so it can be removable


An idea of how it will look



Then I heated up the tunic and shaped it to the figure to make it look more natural, you can see how rigid it looked in the previous pic

Hey guys, decided to work on my fallout guy while waiting on having the money to finish up some other projects. Please give me feedback and suggestions

Took the knee plates off of the titanium man, hollowed out the inside of the halo plate, and secured them to the halo knee plates. That way I know they will be snug



Next I carved down tge size of this piece so it would fit the arm better for a bracket to the pip boy (one on left shows how much was removed)


Here I had to cut down the face to create a channel for the breathing apparatus to fit more snugly to the actual helmet. Then it attached

I am really looking forward to seeing this guy finished but not before we get more WIP updates, LOL!

awesome, really looking fantastic. loving your work, keep it coming.

Lookin' good man!

Hey guys! I'm sure everyone thinks I died lol. Well I'm around, just moved and am working a lot.

Here are some quick wips of the spidey noir I'm making for hulksmashedme





Decided he needed a flight stand hole


Modified the hand to make it more spidey like

looks great, I think I know who he is. great work and love the parts. your crushin your stuff.

A rather small update guys, been away for a while. Busy moving and working but I started to work on a commission, guess who

Haha woot, someone guessed what it is on the first attempt guess that means its looking like it should

Thanks count!

Knowing what it is...all im'ana say is, dude.
It's looking good! I'm impressed!

FALLOUT dude?

Hey guys, finally got to work on some things

Fish dude green lantern body, cyclotron hands, dr. Impossible feet. Going to become either a solar or dp, not sure which yet lol


This is a secret project for my gf so I can't say what he is going to become yet but here are some wips

Shapp, thank you for rocking my world! Also this again.

Best bro-date in a while.

Always your....

*Redacted*

The boots actually come with majority of the WWE figures Elite,Legend and Basics line . So you can get them in various sizes after a little searching around you should be able to find the ones that suit your needs.

congrats on the award bud and await your new ideas and methods. ojj has some awesome ideas and methods, he can teach anyone a lot.

welcome to the big leagues buddy! I'm glad to see you take the leap!

I really appreciate the kind words ojj, you should tell me a bit more bout resin and such

Cool! Once you get the hang of using screws and various hardware, there's no limits to what you can create. I know that it has enabled me to mix and match parts from completely dissimilar lines and manufacturers. Opens up whole new worlds of possibilities. Now you can start messing with plastic resins and pouring them into body cavities (on action figures, not people you know ) to anchor joints that don't have proper fittings. It's great too see you achieving new milestones in the hobby. OJJ

I agree those boots would look awesome, good call gabby.

Those are some sick boots, know which figure they are from by chance?

Wow thats cool I think he would awesome with the boots swapped for ones off a wrestling fig not sure if they would fit though

looks great shapp, love the modifications to the fig, really works well. fantastic job, you are kicking butt and taking names.

Very very cool bro I like how it came out.

Picked up a nick fury so I started on my punisher so here are some wips

This was a huge pain in the arse lol. The arms that went with the jacket didn't fit punishers hands and his gloves were way too long so I cut them down, shaped the insides to fit a new peg (which ended up being screw of all things lol)



Here you can see the size difference in the size of the gloves.











What do you guys think thus far?

looks great, really well done. darklord is a great resource, along with us others in the custom workstation. keep up the sweet work.

Finally back with a little update on my X-Men project

I took the idea of what darklord did with his riddler tried something similar with my angel. I wanted him to have he same loves as cyclops but they didn't fit the pegs so I cut and shaved angels hands to fit the pegs for the gloves. A little glue and bam! New gloves my first attempt doing this, what you guys think?

great job for a first time, you will be killin em after a few.
