AFMcGill Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Having looked at one of the black/gold Nova minimates after that suggestion of his gloves... i'm probably even more inclined to use that body... i was attracted to using the movie yellowjacket because it at least in some way had a link to it and had a decent and appropriate pattern i could fudge. i've anxiety issues which cause me basically to constantly be shaking so i can't really paint anything. all the other suggestions were great (except pyro's head piece - that is one of the parts of a minimate i hate the most... i wound up using zombie pyro because i hate it so much!) - the angel body part i had considered too and straight away knew what you meant @Chigarillo season 2 jack bauer has blonde hair and yellow glasses attached to that - that seems the easiest "don't have to do any work myself" choice. or using the old falcon goggles, the ones that slip over the head, and possibly trying to tool them / fix them to a hair piece.

AFMcGill Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 My current recipe will probably instead be: + chest piece from: + wing harness from: + wings from: with the exception of archangel's wing harness, the rest are easy to source. goggles wise, i'm not entirely against being damn lazy and using this matt murdock head this was the jack bauer hair + glasses i was/am considering or working out something with these and a hair piece (which would be the best possible solution for accuracy i think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freaqualizer Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 @AFMcGill sounds like a solid recipe. If you pick up another Anti Sinister Six Spider-Man and have no plans for the helmet, i’d Be glad to take it off your hands if you’re inclined to sell.  I have paypal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montrossx Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018  I'm sure these don't really qualify as customs, but got in the mood to make some Giant Man and Goliath cutouts. Took pics of my mates, cleaned up Giant Man, and printed as 4x6. Probably as good as I'm ever gonna get... Might try 3x5 too and see how that looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would only suggest that you then bind them to a foam core so you can attach a stand to the back and they can stand on their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I folded some tabs on the bottom of these so they actually stand pretty well.   If I had trimmed off all the white space though, they'd probably need some additional support.

AFMcGill Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 still needs some parts (archangel's wing bit to hold the wings rather than wasp's) and i might try and am considering getting a gold pen to draw along the zip line and add the rest of the right design to the chest. may also use stuff like that to make the glasses more accurate too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fwoosheyman Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I don’t think Chuck really gets how BAF are supposed to work. You make the BAF figure good so people buy figures they wouldn’t normally to complete it. DST’s BAF figures so far are a lame kitbash and a minor character which is the least interesting minimate in the wave. I know they can’t make follow marvel legends and make large characters into large minimates because of the license restrictions but make them more appealing.

MisterPL Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 DST can make larger Minimates. They choose not to. Chuck doesn't want Minimates in different sizes for production reasons. Some collectors are against it as well because they want all parts to be interchangeable. Different sizes would restrict that. Personally I want a BAF of Wendigo on a 2.5" body.
