youbastards' customs - ALIEN Ripley & EFNY Snake Plissken [01-21-2015]


Recommended Posts

Here are a couple of Quick Customs I put together:

Sharon Carter and Maria Hill

These were made from:

Body: Black Widow (TRU IM2 Excl)

Hands/Feet: Angel (Series 31)

Sharon's Head/Hair: Rachel Grey Head (Series 33) with Dagger's Hair (Series 23)

Maria's Head/Hair: Rachel Grey Head (Series 33) with Jigsaw's Hair (Punisher War Zone Box set)

[EDIT: I replaced Dagger's hair with Ms Marvel (Dark Avengers 2 Box Set) - a big improvement!]

[i'm getting some waterslide decals from Luke to use his chest decal]

Body/Arms/Legs/Hands/Bracers: Hercules (Champions Box set)

Head: Assault Gear T-800 (TRU T2 Excl) - I wanted to use an 'Ahnold' head, the smirk is just perfect

Hair/Waist: Skaar (Series 25)

Belt: Shocker (Series 24)

Feet/Shin gear: World War Hulk (TRU Series 6 Excl)

Weapons: Ares (Dark Avengers 2 Box Set)

Nice!

Sharon Carter and Maria Hill look great!

Thanks guys!

Here's a QC modern 616 Black Widow:

Basically just the Champions Box Set Black Widow with the IM2 TRU Exclusive's Hair and half-glove hands.

I added the holster/ammo pouch from a War Zone box set Punisher.

Ha! Very cool!

I put the movie head/hair, silver stingers & grey holster on my "classic" Widow!

Same awesome QC's there youbastard!

Thanks! Tenime, I'll have to try that out.

So I've been thinking of trying a custom poseable 8-10" Maximate. I know Luke has played with resins for his bases, but I'm thinking of trying plastic molds.

Has anyone here tried it already?

Does anyone have advice/suggestions?

Should I just 'throw in the towel'?

Would DST have a problem with me trying something like that?

If I can get the molds down for each part, I think I might be able to make multiple parts from a mold. Is that even something anyone would be interested in here?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

I know someone CloneMe made his own articulated wooden Maximate a while back.

I guess in theory making an articulated Maximate might be possible, though I imagine the process may involve any or all of the following:

-molding and casting regular Minimate parts

-scaling up their dimensions

-some minor tweaking of the end result with a chisel

-substituting the scaled-up knee peg with something of a stronger material (a metal screw?)

It's a shame we haven't heard much from CloneMe's project though.

Here's my updated Classic Nova, I wasn't too happy with the gold so I repainted him yellow. Luke's decal sheets should be coming soon, so I need to try and fix/replace my printer to make Nova's chest decal.

Here he's accompanying my Marvel Boy that I made too.

Here's my work in progress Night Thrasher...but I need help for head/helmet suggestions....PLEASE HELP!!!

Last but not least, I picked up a 3 3/4 Spider-Man "Air Assault Hobgoblin" today, because I thought the glider might work.

What do you think?

Dang! They all look great, especially Night Thrasher!!

(Oh, and I totally made a Maria Hill using an extra Movie Widow body, thanks for the inspiration!)

Thanks man, I've really been looking forward to getting a classic New Warriors set put together for a while.

Night Thrasher's helmet and Speedball are my hurdles at the moment. <_<

Namorita is mostly done, and I want to update Firestar a bit.

For N.T. use a iron man helmet, cut the eyes out and sculpt the visors a little bit

That was how i was making it, until school and work sucked up my spare time

Thanks for the comments! :)

Thanks to lastmaximal, I think I found a solution for Night Thrasher's helmet (Street Justice Batman).

[Night Thrasher was a rip-off of Batman, but Batman ripped off Night Thrasher's mask...huh.]

Just need to find the time to work on it now.
