elhonez Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) It's been a while since I've updated this... looks like 5.5 years? I may have something fun to update here in March if I can squeeze in some custom time. Nearly done with a batch of 8 that are mostly QCs. The "mostly" part is the rub -- the last mile requires some paint, some x-acto action, and some some glue. I don't know how to give a hint that wouldn't make it obvious though. Update: My lazy posterior has finally ordered the matte white spray paint I need to finish this "wave" of eight. Which is in no way a hint of any useful kind, TBH. And for "reasons" I've decided A) to rebrand my customs "Bronze Meddling," and B ) that this wave is actually Wave15, which may on the surface seem to be banana pants (but I have plans). I also recognize no one is asking for these updates, but I'm doing this to hold myself accountable. Edited March 12, 2021 by elhonez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhonez Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) I also posted this in Modifying Marvel, since they're mostly QCs: WAH-HOO! (my internal numbering) Wave 15 / WWII Series 1: Edited March 26, 2021 by elhonez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Holy cow, that's awesome. Best wave ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhonez Posted March 30, 2021 Author Share Posted March 30, 2021 Thanks Zach! It was fun to put this one together. And also to imagine a young Clint Eastwood as WWII Nick Fury... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhonez Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 I've been pretty sleepy with these updates, looks like over a year? Wow I'm bad at this. I have another update coming before EOY (hopefully), this time exclusively QCs, based on something tangential to this last "wave." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freaqualizer Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Great QCs! I often go through spells where I’m hyper focused on QC’ing all of the same “types” of characters. Like when I went full bore back into Minimates, I wanted to QC all of the magic users so I made Brother Voodoo, Dr. Druid, Baron Mordo, and Nightmare.

elhonez Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 I think I caught a similar bug Freaqualizer, and the relationship will be apparent when I finally get around to posting the next batch. I think I'm only holding out now on a single chest block, an alternate hand, and some very light painting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhonez Posted April 3, 2023 Author Share Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) Six months later... I kept tweaking and adjusting, and I ended up needing to source more hands, accessories, and a new head. Everything is assembled, more or less. Now it's just that "light" painting, and photography left over. But finding the time to set up and knock out any painting is proving difficult. So maybe in another six months? Hopefully less. (it's also super silly and will be anti-climactic, because these are the Q-est of Cs you've ever seen) Edited April 3, 2023 by elhonez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhonez Posted June 7, 2023 Author Share Posted June 7, 2023 Pics soon of what I might call a "potboiler" wave for its ludicrous simplicity. With the exception of some minor acrylic color. After that, I need to get much better at painting. I'm looking into all sorts of stuff I swore I'd never do, like model paints, wet palettes, brush techniques... it's a sickness. Ah well. (this next-next wave is also "QC" in that it's decal-free, but it requires much more paint than I'm accustomed to) But for the potboiler, maybe it'll light a fire under me to get those pics done and edited if we play a game? I dunno. All my custom groupings have a code name. The Howlers were "Wah-Hoo." Let's play hangman: __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
