Nervous Rex Posted December 22, 2006 Author Posted December 22, 2006 I still love that one Nervous Ever thought about Soundwave or some of the other Gen 1 transformers? cheers, Tk Yeah man, at some point I'd like to get done Starscream, Soundwave, and Megatron........if only I had my hands on some of cloneme's wood mates , then they would be in scale Quote
Nervous Rex Posted December 30, 2006 Author Posted December 30, 2006 Ok, this was a completely random and spur of the moment custom...using my old Angel custom, with the new sentry head, I saw the new superhero squad? Angel/Colossus 2-pack, and , well, uh, this just had to be done.(I was never happy with the pocket hero Hawkman wings for him) hope you like I'd like these for "Wings of Redemption Spawn" too, and a "Redeemer" I did the old boil and pop method to get them off, then just drilled through the back of the body using a 5/32 bit, and the peg slid right in.

TBT! Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Wow that's great Nervous, very cool and effective. I will be stealing this idea T. Quote

"It was so easy, a caveman could do it!" it really only took a few minutes, from the time I popped him out of the pot of water, and let him cool off Quote
antacost Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 I've never liked the Pocket Hero wings on a Minimate... These look awesome. Great job Nervous. I think we'll be seeing these wings alot more... Quote
Amazing.JL Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Innovative as always Nervous, Awesome awesome Angel with the new wings. I agree with antacost, we'll be seeing these wings more often. They're perfect! This has got to be one of my favorite customs. Quote
Bizklimkit Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 that angel toy is sexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx....y i want one. you should probably do many more angel variants. he's probably one of my fav xmen characters. also, would it be possible to sharpen the feathers, give them a nice shiney silver paint for his metal wings? Quote
TBT! Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 So where'd you get the wings from? I saw the new superhero squad? Angel/Colossus 2-pack, Duh!! T. Quote
Logan Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Ah! Thanks, T. Didn't see that before... Quote
pyrot53 Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 i saw those at tru but never thought of using them for that awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
antacost Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 also, would it be possible to sharpen the feathers, give them a nice shiney silver paint for his metal wings? I don't think that you'd have to sharpen them at all. The wings already have a nice angular sculpt on them. Slap some silver paint on 'em and go! Quote
TENIME_art Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 I gotta stop sending my thoughts to people on this board... they end up doing my customs before I can! Quote
boyd Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Frickin' brilliant. I will be stealing this idea. Quote
Aapje Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 Time to make some minimates with wings. i tryed to make some of plastic for my darkhawk but it fell off Quote
BannersID Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 WOW that looks perfect, I'm afraid I might have to pilfer this idea as well! Nice work! Quote
TBT! Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 Hey Nervous, Were the wings glued and did boiling loosen the glue? Min seem glued on and dont look like they will budge. T. Quote
Nervous Rex Posted January 3, 2007 Author Posted January 3, 2007 First off, everyone steal away! It is really a fairy easy process. if you want I can post some pics of how they look when they come off, and the hole i put in his back to connect them. Hey Timbo, yeah they were glued on, and the boiling loosened up the glue. I used a butter knine to get in to dig it out. The only thing I'd say is to make sure you get them back into shape(or the shape you want them in) before they cool, because they get very bendy. I opted to keep them straight, but I might try to curl them in a bit the next time. I agree with antacost, they are already pretty sharp looking, and some silver paint might be all you need. Quote
Nervous Rex Posted January 23, 2007 Author Posted January 23, 2007 Hey guys/gals- Well I finally have had some time to do a bunch of customs(looking for a new job), so in the spirit of last week's reveals, I want to do the same this week. I have a few updated characters, as well as some new faces, so I will start the week off with an old favorite of mine: hope you like, enjoy! :biggrin: tomorrow.....An old friend! Quote
