boyd Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I agree with you - modern Drax would be a pretty cool Minimate. I'm really surprised we've never gotten him yet. He was an important part of Marvel's recent cosmic storyline, and he'd be easy enough to make with existing parts. Until that happens, we have your great custom.

hellpop Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Very nice! I've thought about doing him also, since there's certainly enough Hulk parts out there to turn one into Drax. He's kind of far down on my cosmic Marvel want list, though. But seeing your custom has me rethinking that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheul Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 Thanks guys! I'm not a huge Drax fan myself but the current Marvel cosmic stuff is exceptional and these characters need some representation. That and Drax was really easy! I think Im going to attempt Peter Quill. I have an idea but I dont know if it'll work. I wouldnt even know where to start with Rocket Racoon LOL! Guardians would make a great box set. Drax, Quill, or Rocket Racoon Cosmo and Mantis. I'd buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheul Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) I loves me some Marvel Monsters, so I picked up an extra New Mutants set from Luke and got a Wolfman on clearence at TRU and I made Werewolf by Night... It was a much bigger pain than youd think. Made the face, chest, and pant cuffs in Photoshop. I must have printed out the stickers 10 times before I finally got the colors right. I sculpted the hair... Im not a big fan of dry brush or wet burish on my mates because they look less "factory" but I did a little wet brush on the hair so the ears would stand out. I also added a nose. He didnt look right without it and the Universal Wolfman has a noes so I guess its ok.

Punisher Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 That's a perfect Werewolf By Night! Now make Man-Thing, Morbious, Damien Hellstorm, Jennifer Kale, and Howard the Duck and you'll be set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I've thought about trying to modify the Universal Werewolf into WBN myself, but I've always had a hunch it would be more difficult then I thought. Glad to have you prove me right :biggrin: . He looks great, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Geohound Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) Just curious, did you have this going for a while now or did you see where this thread went and then decided to make him? Doesn't matter. Either way it's an awesome custom and you have only made my need for this Minimate even more. Nicely done.

Rheul Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 After I made Man Thing I thought I'd take a stab at Howard. I thought that if he worked out I would make Doctor Bong (Bev just being some swapped parts). I actually saw that thread right after I started him. Since I'm on a bit of a Gerber kick I may try Jennifer Kale and Omega the Unknown maybe. I also have another custom (non Gerber related) completed but I'm not sure if I'm happy with it so I haven't posted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Omega is actually an easy quick custom; just stick a cape and a new head on a Hellfire guard and you're good to go. Really like all the Gerber customs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
