Nessex Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Total Win! I'd be all over this if DST released it. It's almost perfect! In fact, i may have to make my own. What's she made up of (if you don't mind my asking)? Looks like a bit of 90's Rogue, Jean Grey & Cyclops . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 Yeah, you've got it right Nessex. I think the arms/legs are from First Appearance Doom. I removed the white paint from a Photon cape and it left a translucent yellow piece of plastic. I put decals over this translucent cape to see how it would look. I plan to use the decals on a painted cape, it should make the stripes stand out more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Wow! I love that custom. Great job YB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 (edited) Thanks! Ok, here is the same decal on a Photon cape that was painted yellow. This looks much better, in my opinion. Edited July 2, 2011 by youbastards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Again - looks superb. I hope you don't mind if i borrow (see: thieve) this recipe! Quick question: Photon's cape was clear yellow underneath? Do you think this was because they were planning to do a 'powered-up' version, but then the regular version got more votes in the TRU poll?

youbastards Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 I never thought of that, but i bet you are right. Man, we never got powered up Photon or Beyonder, and that depowered Ben Grimm. They could have come up with 1 more character for another boxset... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Technically you did get most of the energy form Beyonder... they just called him Sunspot. grumble. grumble. grumble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Hill Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Both Dazzler and Siryn look excellent! I think the painted Siryn cape looks better, nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyguy Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Both look great youbastards. Really nice work on Siryn's cape. Looking forward to seeing Banshee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye's Junk Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Wonderful work! I really like the use of existing parts. Really look forward to your Banshee. Im still holding out hope that he will be made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Great job on Siryn. Love the painted cape. I can only hope that this inspires Diamond to steal your idea and give us a Banshee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 90's Banshee Mostly a quick custom, using the same decal as I used for Siryn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dj87 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 oh thats tidy, love it. Who's face? only thing thats put me off making Banshee... lack of appropriate faces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 Thanks all! Boba, that face is from Wave 27 WW2 Captain America. One of the few good 'screaming' faces that I thought would work well for Banshee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 I'm becoming quite a pro at making these Banshee wings, so if anyone has a spare Photon cape and wants me to make one for them, just drop me a PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessex Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Another Win, YB! Between this cape and the new MVC3 Storm one, there's really nothing holding AA/DST back from delivering a Banshee as good as yours for all of us plebs who aren't as custom-savvy as you. Great Work.

Bob Harris Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Very cool QCs. I really like your pictures by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 Thanks all! I have a few things in the works right now, one of them being a classic Banshee. My next project I hope to have finished tonight or tomorrow. A pair of X-Women that have been neglected by DST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Banshee is a really nice quick custom. That face is perfect! My one suggestion would be that you might want to track down the hairpiece that came with Goliath, as I think it might fit him a tad more.
