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!

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.

Any time! Still working on some other ones for you!

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.

:D 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.

Psyguy, I am surprised I have not seen you post this one that you made for me.

Hey, thanks! I was going to wait for him to make his way to you, but appreciate the picture. Hopefully they should be with you soon, I'm looking forward to the challenge of the new set you have suggested!

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?

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.

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.
