blacksun1520 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Mimic and modern Wasp are brilliant! And as others have said, the Arkillo sculpt is bad ass. BS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serge_Havok Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 So just like everyone else I was very impressed with these customs especially the Classic X-Men. So, being a huge X-Men fan like most people I was thinking,"Which X-Man or woman would I really wanna see as a minimate?" And then it hit me, it was Rogue when she first joined the X-Men. We already have all the characters from that era including Storm with a mohawk. So Psyguy, please make a cool Rogue! Maybe she can even have a hood that hangs on her back like the brown Wolverine minmate or that Captain America minimate stuck on ice. We've seen her in the Secret Wars poster but we know yours would be so much cooler! So yeah, just a suggestion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Serge, did you sketch those? They're really good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serge_Havok Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Serge, did you sketch those? They're really good! No I didn't those are illustrations by Paul Smith. I believe he was drawing issues of the X-Men around the time Rogue joined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Ah, cool. I saw what looked like an '09 on the first one and figured maybe they were fan art. Well - i'm on board with you: i love Psyguys stuff and think he'd make a great FA Rogue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyguy Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 I have a bunch of half-made stuff in my parts bin at the minute, but once I get myself organised I will make a FA Rogue. I really like the design on the Secret Wars poster (was kinda hoping we would get an official one), and it's the least I could do after the amazing decals Serge made for me recently.

TM2 Dinobot Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Sweet wasp. If I may say, the blue is off putting. A dark gray like what you have for her collar bone might work better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyguy Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) Sweet wasp. If I may say, the blue is off putting. A dark gray like what you have for her collar bone might work better. Yeah, I did try printing the decal with grey to begin with, but my printer isn't that great and the colours just didn't look right. I can deal with the blue for now until I upgrade my printer. Here is the next in my Dark X-Men customs, Cloak. The cloak came from Black Queen Jean, with a lot of milliput added. He has a slightly trimmed Captain Britain haipiece. Here's the sculpt from the back. Thanks for looking! Edited February 14, 2011 by Psyguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyd Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Seriously like the job you did sculpting Cloak's cape. That's the kind of cape I always wanted for Cloak, all flowing and rippling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psyguy Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 Best sculpting of 2011 nominee!!! Thanks Bob! Well, I guess now is as good a time as any to post a picture of my updated British Psylocke. The official release (which I never thought we would see) has just been announced at Toyfair. Thanks for all the comments! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxghost Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Dude....so many sick customs in here. I'm gonna have to go back and take a better look at each one! Your decals blend in flawlessly with other minimates. I have a question though, Can you make a decal of say a blank male chest (black lines only) and print on clear decal paper and then apply it overtop of a minimate body that was painted? Would it look alright? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it look alright? Thanks man! About the decals, lots of my customs are painted bodies with a clear decal over the top. Psylocke, most of the Brotherhood members, most of Alpha Flight, Marvel Girl, Banshee, most of the Deadly Genesis mates and more are painted. I find that the quality of the paint finish affects how well the clear decal lays over the painted surface. I sand down any bodies I have painted to try and leave as smooth a finish as possible. It's only more recent customs of mine that have been made using full chest decals. Edited February 16, 2011 by Psyguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyguy Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 Yes, their costimes are pretty awful (and very eighties...), but you have to love The Hellions. Outshone by the New Mutants and the New Warriors before being dispatched by Trevor Fitzroy. I always seem to root for the underdogs! Anyway here's Jetstream, who was Emma Frost's answer to Cannonball. Repainted minimate with Space Seed Khan head and Beyonder hair, and a purple wash over a blast base. Decals for chest and wrists/legs detail. Roulette has Pepper Potts hair, Sue Storm face and a little milliput "good luck" disk. Catseye has Black Widow hair, modified FA Jean face and a Feral tail. Empath has a Tony Stark hairpiece and modified Angel face. Tarot has a Rahne face, X-23 hair and a milliput tarot card with a decal. Here's a group shot. I plan on displaying them with Emma Frost and the New Mutants, I have a couple more members in the works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Sir, write any amount on this piece of paper and i will pay it! Those are just beautiful. I've toyed with making Hellions customs - i now see that there is not point. I can't compete! A+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Instant buy. I know nothing of the Hellions besides them being Emma Frost's New Mutants at her "school" (which is heresy for an X-fan, i know...) but they look amazing; better than DST could make then. Bravo, sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
