tinnyt226 Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) Hi all! I've been lurking around the 'verse for quite a while now, so I thought it was time that I shared my super simple customs (mainly just part swaps) Daredevil Marvel Knights Head and Wave 43 Body (Told you it was super basic) Modern Military Captain America Hawkeye Ultimate Hawkeye Modern Avengers Beast Mystical Iron Fist Bulked Up Colossus with Hair! Modern Punisher with Beard! Nick Fury Now I know these aren't the best of customs, but I'm just getting started and hopefully in time they'll become more elaborate. ... and since this is also an Artwork forum here are some pictures! The evolution of Cyclops! (excluding X-Factor Cyclops since I don't have him) My Avengers! Thanks for viewing! And tell me what you think! Edited August 25, 2012 by tinnyt226 Quote
UK Collector Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) Really like the Captain America, he looks great. Edit: what legs did you use? Edited August 25, 2012 by UK Collector Quote
buttheadsmate Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 I've been lurking around the 'verse for quite a while now, so I thought it was time that I shared my super simple customs (mainly just part swaps) Now I know these aren't the best of customs, but I'm just getting started and hopefully in time they'll become more elaborate. I think many of these are superb ....whilst I'm often in awe at some of the more elaborate customs shown on this forum, many of the simplest of part swaps turn 'mundane' into 'magnificent' .....notably your Colossus & Punisher .

Kostisfire Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 Everything is awesome! Sometimes just a part swap is enough. Quote
Punisher Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 Great swaps! I love that Beast especially. Quote
Marquis de Carabas Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 I dig the use of Tony Stark's bearded head for The Punisher, and is that Jigsaw's hair? These look purdy epic. Quote
TBT! Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 Some nice stuff here Tinny! esp digging that Cap and Beast! As the others have said, sometimes less is more - there's something very satisfying in just using existing parts to improve or create a character. T. Quote
minimadman Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 Really like the Captain America, he looks great. Edit: what legs did you use? They appear to be the ones from the Ultimate Shield Soldier that as chance would have it came with Captain America. Quote
Squall Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 I love your simple customs. but I love your shots more. Quote
boyd Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Really like your parts swaps. Cap looks pretty snazzy in camouflage pants. Quote
tinnyt226 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) Really like the Captain America, he looks great. Edit: what legs did you use? Thank you so much! And minimadman was correct the legs came from the S.H.I.E.L.D Agent from Wave 27. Thanks again for the compliment! And thank you to everyone for your kind compliments. I was worried I might get bashed on for my customs for being too simplistic or uncreative, but I am so glad to see that everyone here has welcomed me with open arms. I definitely take your compliments to heart and I'll try to create more customs if possible. @Squall thanks for the compliment on my shots I was experimenting with a homemade light box Once again thank you everybody! I dig the use of Tony Stark's bearded head for The Punisher, and is that Jigsaw's hair? These look purdy epic. Thanks I was inspired by the current look of Punisher in the comics and that hair is from Jigsaw, nice catch. Edited August 27, 2012 by tinnyt226 Quote
tinnyt226 Posted July 16, 2013 Author Posted July 16, 2013 Just a little update of very minimal customs. Enjoy! Thor WW2 Cap, Updated Classic Cap, and my version of Cap Updated Iron Man MK4 and two versions of Iron Man's Extremis Armor The Punisher Colossus Civilian Bullseye Updated Luke Cage Bulked-Up Ultimate Hulk Quicksilver & Scarlet Witch Captain Britain and Excalibur Sentry The Winter Soldier Bucky Wolverine Iron Fist The Phoenix Fist Archangel The Batman Quote
TENIME_art Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 I love parts swaps. Keeps them looking factory. Well done! Quote
Phiz Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 I think a lot of people have the mentality that a custom needs to have sculpting and a new paint job. This just proves them wrong. As the other members have said simple customs are sometimes the best. With all the minimates that have been produced, everyone can make their own version of the characters as they interpret it. Your customs are great representations and have me thinking about doing these changes to my figures. Keep up the good work, I'll be keeping my eye on this thread for sure. Quote
tinnyt226 Posted April 13, 2020 Author Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) This quarantine has provided me the ample time needed to finally get back in touch with my mates. Here a few basic customs that I’ve been working on. Enjoy! Edited April 13, 2020 by tinnyt226 Quote
MiniFiend UK Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 real nice. The Robin looks like he'd rip your arms off an stuff em down your neck then leave you to good officers of GCPD Quote
MisterPL Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 Those are truly "super-amateur, basic" and very effective customs! I LOVE that Longbow Hunter Green Arrow! I'm lamenting the absence of a continuing line of DC Minimates but stuff like this gives me hope that some fun customs are within reach. Quote

Always found him to be unevenly prepared and under-equipped when compared to Batman. Edited April 15, 2020 by tinnyt226 Quote

And yeah I’m proud of that one too definitely amplifies the regular Green Arrow mate for me. Yes! I wish they produced more DC characters. There are so many on my wish list that I still hope to be made. Quote

Captain Paco Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) 28 OCT 2020 Really like your Hawkman and the updated images of the DC heroes. Robin is a nice update and the Aquaman and Wonder Woman look nice. Thank you for sharing them. 14 JAN 2021 I was just reviewing your pictures once again. I really like the Deathstroke you have with Taskmaster's body, looks amazing. Green Arrow with a Hydra body and Specter's hood is a good touch. Your Robin, Aquaman, Wonder Woman and Hawkman stole the show last time, but glad I took another look. I enjoyed all you minor adjustments and you made me think some of them did not have changes when they all do to a very minor degree. Good job, I hope you are able to keep at it. Looking forward to more from you. Edited January 14, 2021 by Captain Paco Quote

Looking forward to more from you. Thank you! You're right on the nose with the changes. I am trying to be a tad subtle and make it appear as if these customs came straight from DST. I also love your customs as well! A lot of your work has inspired me. I will be posting more in the near future so be on the look out! Quote
