Custom WorkstationI was only able to take a few pics and realized after taking them that I took pics of a white figure against a white back ground lol.
This is a prepainted version of Blackheart, took the legs, arms, and tail from a McFarline Aliens figure and attached them to the ML Blackheart figure. Took a ton of work to make the legs work and had to add sculpty to the back to make an area to add the arms coming from his back. The Energy coming from his left hand is actually just plastic from another figures package that was melted and twisted to give that look. Just need to paint the figure and the energy in his hand, and I am debating making a base for him to stand on.
Let me know what you think please! Suggestions would be amazing as this is my 4th piece I've ever done.


Please wait...

Thor on eBay
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?
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
Got this rad motorcycle from the movie blade figure
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
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
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
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
My initial design
Part layout
Mock up
Like these parts better
Hope to start painting by this weekend
SWEAR TO ME!
Thanks count!
It's looking good! I'm impressed!
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
Best bro-date in a while.
Always your....
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?
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
