Custom WorkstationHello everyone,
I'm finally able to post here, so I thought I would start off with some work in progress customs that I'm working on.
Here are some of the Hulk customs that I'm working on along with several other projects that I have started. I have never been satisfied with any of the Hulk figures that have been made thus far. The Marvel Legends look great, but they are too small for my since of scale, and the Marvel Select figures have been too large. So I decided to make some Hulks and other Hulking characters using the large DCUC CNC parts. I sent my Brimstone fist to Black_Arachnis to have a few sets cast for these customs. The characters that I'm wanting to make are Hulk (Bruce), Red Hulk (Ross), Skaar, Planet Class (Ultraverse Villain), Juggernuat, and The Pitt. But I may make some more Hulking character later on. Mind you it may take me a while to finish these with gathering all the necessary parts. Also my free time on working customs has been cut back due to illness in the family, but I do try to take some time get some custom work done to keep my mind off things.
Here is a little test fit on the Red Hulk's new arm. First off I started with a pair of KO Red Hulk arms I bought off eBay, then I modified the Validus shoulder peg with my Dremel to accept the Red Hulk arm. I think they are going to look pretty good on the Validus body. What do you all think?
A few more pictures of the Red Hulk with the second arm fitted, and what will be his new feet.
A couple of pictures of the modified shoulder pegs to accept the Red Hulk biceps. there is plenty of material left so you don't have to work about the peg being too weak.
Another test fitting of all the parts. I also modified the and combined the Planet Hulk/Validus foot disc to accept the new feet.
Please wait...

Update Topic
Better yet, how much to just have you paint my heads from now on?
Here are some pictures during the repairs.
Finished Pictures.
Here is another update to one of my Ultraverse characters Electrocute. I was home sick for the past two days and thought I would make an alternate head for her. When I originally made her I didn't have that much fodder, so after fitting a DCUC Power Girl head to a WWE female hair piece I think I have a head works pretty good for the character. I'll post a few more pictures when I'm feeling a little better. I'm also thinking that it could use a few more lighter highlights added to her hair.
This is another little project that "The Amazing Spidey-Fan" asked me to do for him a minor repaint on Princess Leia head. So what d you all think does it look a little better?
I missed out on getting the DCIE Poison Ivy, but I wasn't too upset about it since I never really like the green skin Ivy. A couple of weeks ago I scored one of those Chinese test shots for $11 shipped, and it came in yesterday. I'm planning on painting her up with regular flesh tones.
Oh and I finally got around to finishing my Lex Luthor. I snagged an extra Phantom Stranger on the cheap and removed the cape, filled in the hole in the back of the coat, swapped out the hands for some in my fodder box, and I swapped out the head with one off an Orange Lantern Lex which I painted.
Oh and here is another update on Ms Marvel. She is getting very close to being finished. For the hair I still need to add a few more layer of dry brushing so it doesn't look so yellow.
First was a repair job. He purchased grungethemovie's awesome 90's Hulk. Which is beautifully sculpted, but at one point or another it took a tumble. Which broke the head and chipped up the paint on the body. When a he told me that he had a modified Select hulk figure that had a broken head, so I told him that I would be more than happy to fix it for him. And I was taken for a huge surprise when I opened the box and it was grungethemovie's incredible 90's Hulk in there.
After repairing the fractures on the head and adding a little color to the eyes I touched up the paint on the head and body I applied to good sealer and then sprayed it with a dullcoat. I just can't get over how awesome grungethemovie's sculpting is, and I took a lot of pictures show off all of that sculpting work.
With this one he is wanting a mix of the original Toybiz Archangel with the new Hasbro one. So far I modified the wing connector to fit on the Toybiz body, and I had to make an adapter for the neck using a ROML Ghost Rider neck to fit the Hasbro head on to the old body.
He is also wanting to have an alternate body for a custom Samuel Alexander Nova that he already had to have an older Nova. So I've started sculpting Nova's new alternate body.
Oh and Corey from casting cave just sent me a picture of the newly cast feet for my Hulk with castings of the Marvel Select/DCUC adapters that I made.
Here are the original parts.
My V5 of Now! Cap is almost finished. He just needs sealed then dullcoated.
Here is another update on Ms Marvel's paint work.
Update on Agent Coulson.
I'm also going to be making an Avengers A.I. Vision, and I may end up making the entire team.
I kind of work like I have ADHD when I'm working on my customs. I have a ton more in my WIP box. I'm trying to keep focus so I can complete some more... but speaking of that habit yesterday evening I decided to do a few quick mods to one of my extra Black Cat figures. I swapped out the heels for some flats that I bought from casting cave, and I did some repainting. I painted her gloves and boots black, added some metallic highlights on the costume, dry brushed a little white on the fur, repainted the skin-tones on her chest, and did a little detail painting on the face..
Here is another update to Cap I added a little more dry brushing to the blue areas of his uniform, and I went over the armored area with a metallic blue.
Here is an update on my fifth Marvel Now! Captain America. This time I wanted to change up the paint a little. I decided to go a bit darker with the blues this time.
Thanks. And liking the customs you've got going on here.

A taller Stealth Suit Captain America. Right now I just swapped the knees and lower legs with the Winter Soldier and did a little basic painting to make them match the rest of the uniform.
A couple of Crossbones using WWE elite figures. One for myself and one to sell to fund more projects
Man seeing Commander Rogers with those WWE elites really makes me want to rebuild him using an elite figure.
U-Foes Ironclad. For the fist they are castings of my Brimstones fist casted by Black Arachnis. The head is a re-sculpted Smart Hulk head that was enlarged by Glassman.
A taller Marvel Now! Captain America. When chatting with a future commissioner we were talking about redoing the Wreckers on the Hyperion body, and the idea of making Now Cap taller came up. So I decided to see what it would looking like on my personal Cap. I cut the boots and added a styrene tube for a spacer, not I'm going to use apoxie sculpt to re-sculpt the boots.
A Ms. Marvel for a commissioner. With the lighter skin tones I'm trying to match it with the Flamebird head that he sent me for her... Right now she looks a little naughty
So with one of them I'm going to make some improvements. After unsticking the waist I had to get rid of that ugly head, and then I'm going to be adding a little more paint to the figure to give the white areas some much needed shading.
Hmm... I wonder whom I can make from the second one? Who else wares a shirt/top like that?
Here is a shot of two of them with the Joker that I did for the same commissioner.
I still need to do a little touch up on the Avengers Cap's eyes. For now I'm a little Capped out for a while
Here is another little Avengers Cap update I added a little more detail to the paint work on the head.
When I got this figure from the commissioner it had a nice heavy black wash applied to it, so I used that as my base dark coat and then layered it with dry brushing three shades of blue over the dark wash.
I also decided to knock a little dust off of this project, and I was also curious about if the MS Avengers Hulk feet would work on the DCUC CNC body. So I did a little mock-up nothing special I just wanted to see if they would fit.
I made some adapters with some styrene rods that were almost the perfect size. This was just mainly just a proof of concept that I made yesterday after work. As they are the adapters would not be structurally strong enough to work, but I'm talking with Corey from casting cave about maybe getting, both them and the feet cast.
And here he is after a coat of dull-coat.
Now all is left is to apply some semi-gloss clear over the armor, buckles, eyes, and helmet after the paint cures.
Here is another little update. He is almost done all that is left is to seal him with a topcoat, then a dull-coat, and then the semigloss over the armor, helmet, and eyes. To help prevent the flesh tone paint on the neck from rubbing I put a coat of clear nail polish over it as well. I should be able to finish him up tonight.
Here is an update on Cap I painted the the dark blue and dark red base coats.
After the base coat I dry brushed two shades of blue over the dark blue base.
In this picture you can see the lighter blue that I mixed up for the top layer dry brush color.
