These look great sha_ckwave! I am jealous of the bin. Where did you get it? My current project is Firestar but I am still stuck on finding a skin tone paint for the chest.

I also revised my Namorita with parts from a Tinkerbell.

Thoughts on the paint?

Just use any flesh colored acrylic paint. You my need to lighten it a bit to get the correct tone. Just be sure to prime the area with white first so the color will be true and smooth.

I finally bought another New Mutants set so I could have a Doug to complete the team. I ended up using Suspended Captain America's face and think its a pretty good resemblance. Anyone else who's made a Doug, what gave did you use? I'm just curious if there's another I can use because I kinda love that Cap figure and would like to display him too.

Joffrey.

I just grabbed an extra Warlock and carefully removed the techno off Doug's face. Pardon all the dust.

Those are some great figures. I guess I'll track down another Magik and Warlock. I need another female body for powered down Amara anyway. I have no clue where I saw the recipe for her on here. Anyone remember? This is a pricey team to complete powered down. :(

Thanks, guys.

MM, it was from Raza from the Hostile Takeover boxed set from Iron Man 1. I just cut it out, painted it, and it fits perfectly over the tampo'd version!



Pixie was just too perfect not to do. First Appearance Jean (but Magik's crotch for the red belt) with FA Angel's wing harness, Theatre Ghost's wings, Betsy Braddock's face, Jewel's hair.

So that piece already existed when they came out with that Bishop figure?! That's a little disappointing. Yours looks a lot better than the painted one we got.

That Pixie recipe seems simple enough. I might give it a shot if I can track down the pieces.

Nope, that's it!

And they didn't technically have a neckerchief. It was part of the sculpting of Raza's coat. I had to cut it out of the coat.

It laughingly miffs me when other people don't include recipes, so I feel bad for not doing so myself.

Thanks!

Supposedly, if you remove the white paint from Photon's cape, it's translucent yellow. I only have the one, though, and she's incredibly hard to find extras of for just that one part. Quite a few people here have gone that route for Siryn & Banshee customs.

Let's see a pic of yours!
