McDurg Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Alright, so after browsing through various threads here I just recently got into customizing 'mates. I already had a bit of painting experience from my brief dabble with Warhammer so I just dug out some spare 'mates and figured what the hell. And so, here they are: First up I'll respectively show the first Mate I customized. It's my take on what I had initially hoped a movie-esque Deadpool would've look like- I'm hoping to go back and redo his mask once I get better. Here is a more modernized look for the former Blade/Spidey foe Morbius- These last two took a bit more planning and time. My entry for the Amalgam contest, Steve Simmons- The villainous Red Violation- action shot- There are a lot of great customizers on here but my two personal favorites have to be Shamrock and brobotc. They are both incredibly innovative and creative, I looked at their figures as inspiration for my customs. Right now I'm nearly complete Tarman from Return of the Living Dead, and I've just begun working on Marvel/Transformers/Dr.Who villain Death's Head. Please feel free to leave any opinion you have and thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbpanizzi Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Love the concept movie DP and the Amalgam. Fantastic work! Death's Head was a Dr. Who villain, too? I did not know that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Death's Head was a Dr. Who villain, too? I did not know that. That would be in the UK Marvel comics not the TV show. I really love all of your stuff McDurg ....brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Excellent customs, Ryan. You have some real skill, methinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessex Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Those are aally great, but i particularly love the Movie-Styled Deadpool. Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDurg Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 Thanks for all the kind words, guys. Tarman is going a bit worse than I thought, I completely messed up his head. :x I'm most likely going to repaint his head since a lot of paint ended up caking on giving it a thick and somewhat blob-ish look. I'll probably finish him up tonight with time to take a few pictures. On a brighter note, I've finished the head/gauntlets for Death's Head. It's looking pretty good thus far. I'm considering making two of him, one of his classic green costume from his first initial appearances and then his more well known blue/red one from when he got his own mini-series. I was also wondering if anybody had an extra pair of Norman Osborn/Gambit boots since I really need a pair for the classic costume. I'd be willing to trade something from my haves list for them.

Shamrock Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 A lot of great work here. Very innovative in terms of design, and very smooth paint work. I look forward to seeing more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Minimate Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I can't believe those are your first customs! They're really great and the Deadpool is my favourite-- I can't wait to see more customs from you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Really impressive customs. I really like the modern Morbius - makes him feel much more contemporary without making him unrecognizable. But your Steve Simmons is incredible! Great work on the concept and smooshing the two characters together, and great job with the paint & details. Can't wait to see your Death's Head.
