Custom WorkstationSo I've been working on this guy for about a month or two now, and I wanted to show off the entire process of how he was made... because well, I've honestly never done such an intensive rework of a head and face before on a figure. I just want some input and to see if anyone has any future suggestions. He's a gift/commission for a friend who adores Klingons, and she specifically wanted a Next Gen Klingon wearing an Original Series uniform. So I tried my best to replicate both worlds in a larger scale.
Now starting off I used a Spirit Ironknife from the Sigma 6 line.
I lopped off the front of his hair and removed the headband and took a whack at sculpting the forehead.
After doing so I did a little base coat of tan, then chopped off the rest of his hair. I also filled in his cheeks some and then added the scar downward. Then added on his BEEG KLINGON EYEBROWS! And a little goatee.
A little more progress on paint and making his hair look right.
I seriously held my breath while painting the white of the eyes because... Well if you look at any of my customs where I actually painted the eyes its just awful. lol
And here he stands currently with silver suit accents, belt, damaged eye, and waiting on his silver vest.
I've never quite documented a custom this thoroughly, but I figured it'd be fun to share.

Please wait...

The bodies are just basic Hot Toys bodies, I would suggest buying a DamToys body off http://www.blackopstoys.com, its the same style and body and fits all the same hands and feet.
Keep up the good work!
Opinions? Also, making a second version of my custom, an even more posable Terminator.
I think I will be turning into a regular customer...lol

Toy Anxiety I like most though, super friendly and responsive customer service, they'll even help make sure what parts can go together for you.
Gotta ask though...where the deuce are you getting such cool 12 inch gear? I feel like I only see bottom bin stuff when I actually find it
Update on the 1/6 guys skin, I did a bunch of washings and I got some sponges, he seems to look properly grungy now.
Keep it up! Need to find that cyber punk gunner end result?! Gonna go find it now?!
Overall though, snag Stripes while he's cheap! Really great fodder body for generic military clothes.
As for player 2, she's waiting on a proper female body.
The Player 2 character?
I need to take some non-potato quality pictures, but he's pretty much done.
