I do agree on the face though, it can certainly pass for a comic Enchantress. That head is painted instead of being printed on the correct color, right? I think in person that might bug me. Not sure what you mean but I just took the 616 Enchantress head and slapped a White Tiger black hair piece on an Animated Enchantress. Took the 616 Enchantress body and slapped the Animated Head and Hair piece on it and just kept trucking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinous Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Honestly I think this is one of the animated minimates that could pass for a comic version, the shading is not like most of the animated mates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most minimate heads are bare plastic with a tampo applied, some are painted a color with a tampo applied over that. This appears to be the case with the animated Enchantress head but maybe I'm not seeing it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricM Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Awesome Darkhawk. It’s funny I’ve been picking up some Darkhawk comics lately and then I come to the board and see this fantastic custom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinous Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018   Just read AoA for the first time (I know, I know) decided I needed to make a few customs from the series. I've got another one or two planned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chigarillo Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Wow! Those look great. What parts did you use for that Nate Grey? Looks like a lot of repainting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinous Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I think the only specific thing was a captain America jacket, forget what the figure was called. Every other piece was just random. The whole thing is totally painted besides the head. I put some little foam pads on the knees because I hate when designs are painted on and split when you bend the knee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Great X-Man! AoA is one of my all time favorite crossovers along with X-Tinction Agenda, X-Cutioner's Song, Messiah CompleX, and to a slightly lesser extent Second Coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFMcGill Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 ohhhh man i want nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFMcGill Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) having assumed we're never going to get it i'm going to do a frankenstein kitbash of this using this as the base i'm content enough to fudge the lines and accept that as looking close enough but any suggestions for the extra parts i need? hair/goggles are the hardest, the best i can think of is using a cannonball but that's not perfect. also need a good wing back piece that matches the dark silver (and i can just clip on the wasp style wings from something else) any suggestions for other bits i could use to compliment it would be welcome (boots, gloves, shoulder bits, etc) Edited August 20, 2018 by AFMcGill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Could you trim Pyro's mask to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinous Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Yeah that's a pretty good idea. Are you not wanting to paint anything? I think you're gonna have a hard time getting things close without painting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricM Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Maybe use Blue beetles goggles and trim the helmet off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloDelorean Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 It wouldn't be an exact match, but maybe Mr. Freeze's hair/goggles could work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chigarillo Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 If you are willing to paint some small bits here and there: For the gloves and boots, Ultimate Nova and paint a couple small black stripes on the gauntlets. Hair and googles, painting a trimmed Pyro head would probably be best. For the Wings I'd use Angel from the X-Men First Class box set.

Sorry that was so confusing. The base that the wings attach to is black and yellow and will hold the insect wings he's using perfectly.
