Lee Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 (edited) I've been trying to customize action figures since I was around seven but never had good materials too work with until recently see I decided too make a minimate custom with my new tools. I started with my favorite hero Super Mario. He's not entirely done yet or very good as my original idea for arms failed you can see he has Dare Devil arms for the time being, and I'm not satisfied with the hat nor the torso. but I hope to fix him and have his brother join him soon.

Deadpool Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Really, thanks. I thought it kind of stunk myself. Man, who's are you comparing that to? I think it's really good. Keep the work up, and you'll have a great collection of customs. Hey, do you accept commisions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 Hey, do you accept commisions? I've been thinking of it since I've got two requests from another forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous Rex Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Looks really good Lee, especially the hat. Is the torso painted or decal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 That's your first custom? Nice. Here was mine: Mysterio You're definitely off to a better start than I was. I've found that noses don't translate too well on minimates, but Mario's doesn't look too bad. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see what's to come.

Lee Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 The face, torso, and M are decals I made in paint as I have rather unsteady hands. And the nose had to be done as I had made a design without it and it looked odd so it's necessary for some such as the Mario Brothers, Wario, Waluigi, and Kinnikuman (threw you there didn't I).

M.U.S.C.L.E.S. I thought that M. Bison's hat might be good for Mario. Very nice for your 1st custom. I'm still afraid to finish my 1st one.

jcastick Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 For a first custom Lee, that is very impressive!! Nicely done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 I thought that M. Bison's hat might be good for Mario. I thought of that but I'm using that in a Brocken JR. custom. And thanks everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Nice work! Any plans for other Nintendo characters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 Nice work! Any plans for other Nintendo characters? Well I plan on more Mario characters, the N Team, Link, Mike Jones from Star Tropics, some Punch-Out boxers, Samus, the heroes of EarthBound and EarthBound 0, and several others. I also hope to make customs from other classic games such as some of the Sonic cast, Simon Belmont (the cool one on the Castlevania 2 box art not the red haired new one), and others. I'm not to good nor do I have many parts so all of these are further down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted December 2, 2006 Author Share Posted December 2, 2006 Update to Mario, he now has the right hands and feet but still has DD arms, also his torso decal is crocked and needs to be fixed. I haven’t started Luigi yet as my hobby shop doesn’t have flat green paint so I’ll need to order it, thus stopping Brocken JR. also and he doesn’t have purple so no Wario yet, I have made two new hairpieces one just so random thing the other one of the hosts on one of my favorite TV shows. Also I've made a ton of control art for like the past year and I have like 10% here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
