Mattallica Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 (edited) those are cool Matt, and I think I'll be copying that Holocaust change. As for Rulk, you can tell he looks somewhat taller, but looking and having read it, I'm really not sure what you've done. I'd love another look at whats going on under those pants. ...yeah, I said it. hey what you and Rulk do in private is not my business :biggrin: heres some pics that will better illustrate the changes you can see the spacer in this side view Edited August 30, 2011 by Mattallica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Gees, are you buying the hip risers wholesale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj87 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 cheers, I get it now. so, I'm right in saying the MvC Rulk has a slip over crotch piece with a twisty boost thing built on to it (unlike the wave 41 Hulk)? I do hope the MvC green Hulk colour matches, for that essential extra height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENIME_art Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Whose riser did you use for Holocaust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattallica Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 (edited) Whose riser did you use for Holocaust? i actually used the one from omega red and repainted it a light yellow/gold, its virtually invisible through the yellow armor Edited August 30, 2011 by Mattallica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) Here's a modification I've been wanting to do for a while now. I had high hopes for the AoA Sabretooth, but was more than a little disappointed to see that his lower half was virtually ignored. Firstly, the minimate had no boots (like he did in the comic series) and secondly, there was no bulk to the lower half. The minimate looked terribly top heavy. In my mind, it seemed as if DST's budget for wave 10 ran out halfway into the Sabretooth design and they opted for a vanilla mate lower half. Anyway, back to my modifications, I just repainted an Abomination crotch cover (with built in riser) and repainted a pair of Ratchet boots. Now if you intend to try this mod, you need to replace Sabretooth's crotch piece with an older one. The one that comes with the actual mate is one of the newer crotch molds, hence the leg joint pegs are shorter and don't allow for a good range of motion. I had a hell of a time mixing paints to replicate ST's colors. The orange / ocre costume I nailed, but the boot color was a bit of a bitch to copy. It matches the belt color more than the gloves. It's a suitable match IMO. Please leave any comments you might have. Enjoy! (click on thumbnails) Here's a size comparison shot. Notice ST is now bigger than Blink yet smaller than Nemesis. Perfect!

dr baghead Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Because of the parts reuse of the MAX Scuba Divers and the Atlantean Soldier I’ve been able modify Cable to create a Simpsons reference I think Rob Liefeld would approve of: (he can’t stand holding all 5, so I think he’ll just go back to the 3-in-1 gun he had before, I guess even Cable’s giant guns have a limit.)

dj87 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) very minor modification, but think it looks pretty swanky. If you look at the top of the new Hulk crotch piece, there is a printed 'ripped-up' effect, which could be the top of the jeans, but looks to me to be the remnants of Banner's white shirt (as seen in many comics, and a few previous releases). This new Hulk is one of my favourite minimates to date, but simply adding the white to that ripped section makes it pop just that little more.

Turtle Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Brilliant Hulk mod. I really wish DST had gone in that direction instead. It looks sooooo much better. Same goes for Iron Fist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squall Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 finally modded my war machine. -removed the silver part of the torso armor to make the it look thinner. -separated the crotch part from the torso -made the arms shorter -repainted with darker gun metal color, red eyes and arc reactor/rt, and painted his decals more pics @ my custom thread.

stack32 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I liked the new Iron Man in the MvC sets, but didn't really care for the mask they used, so I swapped it with one from an IM2 Iron Man: I think it's a major improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellpop Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I know it isn't Widow, I don't have the figure, but I'm guessing X-Force Psylocke Ding ding! Sorry, I should have posted the formula. Hair's from Spider-Woman (well, it's the same one that Spider-Woman has, but I had to paint a blonde one), chest is indeed X-Force Psylocke, arms are from that Peter Venkman that comes with the cat, belt's one of those X-Force belts with the "X" cleverly painted over. Legs I just had laying around. I don't think this color scheme has any basis in the comics, it's more just the parts I had available at the time. But she could wear this outfit, right?

dj87 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 horrah! v.cool looking though, indeed. a potential quick custom for her could be... XM:FC Emma torso and crotch black arms and legs classic White Tiger gloves? though there are millions of mates with those gloves, they should just be sprayed quickly I think I'd prefer to paint the boots on, but perhaps the Photon boots? ... there is always the new Taskmaster as well. I'm only really aware of the character myself, I'm just going off the majority of the top google images. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
