THE_CRIPPLER

Here is the newest: Nightcrawler in his current uniform. Thanks again to Bizklimkit for the chest design. The face and rest was done by me. Look for more in the next few days thanks to help from Biz.

He is proabably my favorite custom so far. I just need a few more Nightcrawlers now for some more versions of him. Anyone got some? I'll even take the broken legged ones that people have.

Great. Thanks guys. I'll give it a few coats of acryllic sealer then.

Ok, it seems that sometimes when I make a decal and put it in water to remove the backing that the color rubs off. It doesn't always do this, but sometimes it does which pisses me off. What are you all spraying on it to keep the ink from running, or coming off when you get it wet? I have been using this testors stuff, but was wondering if something like spraying an acryllic sealer on it also before I put it in water would help. Any suggestions?

Wow, that Morbius is even better than the first one ya did.

That is the Nightcrawler uniform that I recently did and lost. I have the Morbius one yet. I'll send it to ya. I gotta go thru my old saved emails and find it.

Oh yeah, any chance for an updated Morph and a modern costume Nightcrawler? I spent about an hour and a half on Nightcrawler the other night and for some reason I can't find it now. I swear that I saved it. I really don't want to sit and redo all that work again

Wow, I never saw some of those. Great stuff. You are missing your Morbius design though. Where is that one? Also send me a pm with your address, I got something for you. I lost it last time you sent it to me when the AA forums went down.

Great find. I used to have that castle set too. I think the whole kights playsets are what really got me into legos. Unfortunately I have no idea what happened to them all.

Good stuff. I really wish that the official Kitty Pride had hair that looked like that. The official Kitty's hair is poo. She has straight hair in the comics, not wavy.

Yes that was my design. i'm not sure if i ever seen it in real minimate form, but it looks awesome.

if anyone has any requests, i'd be glad to design..

I haven't seen ya around in a while. I didn't even know you made the change over to this board. Nice to see ya here. as for a request I'm sure I could come up with something..........How about Longshot and Morph from Exiles comic.

I fixed the topic, and I also found a paint that matches the decals on the Multiple Man minis, so I am gonna redo them and maybe add a third.

Here are some of my customs that I have done, some newer, some older.

A quick repainted Ultimate Wolverine

Lion-O I want to redo his face one of these days, he lools too happy

Multiple Man He is an older custom that I did a while back based off of bizlimkits design (I think that was his name).

Finally is Warpath. I will be redoing his face using a deacal, this one was done late one night at home during my lay off from work.

I buy em from my local comic shop about 20 yards from my house. I am the only one that collects them so it is kinds nice that I always get the chase figures. I am just so broke right now that I haven't been able to scrape up the cash to go get the chase sentry or Ronin pack. Looks like I'll resort to selling a bunch of extra minimates on ebay tonite.

Thanks Nervous. As I mentioned in chat, your decal work has always inspired me.

It took me over a year but I've finally become comfortable with Illustrator.

It has been about a year for me and I'm still pretty lost when it comes to illustrator. I'lll mess around with it for a few days and learn new things, and then not touch it for months. By that time I have already forgotten everything I learned.

I bought mine a few weeks ago on ebay because their aren't any new minimates at the Target within a 60 mile radius. I wish I could just return it for another, but I can't.

I tried to move my Nightcrawler's legs today and ended up breaking one. I played a bit with it and loosened up one leg pretty easily. The other one was not moving and took a lot of work before I got it to move. Unfortunately the leg that I got loose right away broke as soon as I moved it again I just did a quick little repaint of a black waist/hip piece and replaced the upper part of the leg that had the ball joint stuck in it with another black upper leg and it looks just fine.

I am afraid to open mine and try moving his legs. I'll have to be very very careful. Hopefully it all turns out ok. If not I guess it's not a real big deal since he is just custom fodder anyways.

What brand paint and color name did you use for the Wolverine mask? Now that I got some extra time I'd like to paint a mask to match his uniform. He looks great, just like he came with the mask.

I have been looking at Targets all over (within a 50 mile radius). Still no luck. I broke down and bought the Prof. X/Dark Phoenix, and Nightcrawler/Colossus off ebay for a $26.00. I was sick of driving everywhere. I still need more Nightcrawlers for some customs though

I'm putting my opened one up in ebay later tonite to help fund my trip to L.A. in a few weeks. I'm sure I won't get even half as much as the one that was just sold, but every bit of money is really gonna help me since my bonus from work has been postphoned until the end of November and I leave for L.A. in a few weeks.

I think I got 4-5 Blade/Punishers lying around for customs. I cleared all of them out of a Target in hopes of them putting out the Iceman/Wolverine set, but instead they put out a few of the FF sets

I'm glad Target has em too, except there are none at any of the Targets within a 50 mile radius by me.

I haven't seen them anywhere. Not even on ebay yet. I sure hope they show up in my area sometime soon.

I went to 3 Targets today. 2 of em had the FF packs, and one had no minimates:( Man I want these new packs bad.

Don't tell me that mav-man. I was going to make a run to the Target in Delafield, then to the one on Waukesha today. I checked the Target on the east side of Madison last week for the Iceman/Wolverine set, but all they had was a few FF packs.
