    Joe Colton - Joe Con style

    After a bit of waiting I finally got the con style Colton head I needed for my Con exclusive Joe Colton custom. I opted to keep him mostly the same as the con version, just changing the shoulder harness to brown(it looks better in brown), and changing a few weapons. I also left the area under...

    Beachhead (Tiger Force)

    I based this figure off of the con version from a few years back...not sure 2004-7 somewhere is that window I think. Anywho, Beachhead has always been one of my favorite characters, and Tiger Force one of my favorite sub-teams. Thus it was only natural for me to take my extra figure and make...

    Wreckage (Tiger Force)

    So here was my first entry into this quarter's contest at OG13, Wreckage. I had wanted to do this figure for a while, but it took forever to pick up the Retaliation figure set from my brother so that I would have the Firefly. Other than that it is just a straight re-paint that I wanted to look...

    Ryu Hayabusa - Ninja Gaiden

    A few months back I saw a dude on facebook who had made a similar custom to this one. Seeing this is what made me want to make my own. I took a few different creative liberties with mine than the inspiration piece. I combined elements from multiple versions of Ryu from NG 1 on the NES to create...

    Night Creeper update

    Recently I was sitting around rummaging through my fodder when an old WIP and a spare figure gave me an idea for an updated Night Creeper. Ive wanted to do this figure for a good while, all thanks to Boris Ping's beautiful custom earlier this year or late last year. I tried a few new things...

    Andrew W.K.

    So I had some spare parts that really were not good for much of anything, and I just happened to think that making an Andrew WK custom would be super easy and awesome! That being said I sculpted some hair on duke's head, swapped some arms and voila! I hope to add his party pizza guitar and...

    Incinerators - Commission Piece

    So Capt. Grid-Iron over at Serpentor's Lair commissioned me to make this custom Incinerators figure for him. It took a bit to get the recipe just how I wanted it to look, but over all it came out quite well. This is one of my largest sculpt jobs to date, and the legs and arms have sculpted...

    Golgo 13 v.2

    Way back in the year 2012, I posted my first Golgo 13 custom in the inaugural plastic Mongers contest at OG13. During that period of time researching said figure, I found an image that I wanted to do next for the character. The DG shipwreck that came out around the same time was the perfect base...

    Fem-Viper v.2

    So a while back I made my first Fem-Viper, and shortly afterwards I scored a custom sculpt body and female viper heads. Thus I created this beauty. It took me forever to get this custom finished due to a combination of procrastination and having to sculpt up the lower torso to fill the gap...

    Roadblock - Simple and Classic

    So Ive had this on the block for a bit, just had to wait for the time to make it. I wanted to make a Roadblock that was a bit more true to the original ARAH design, but at the same time change things up a smidge. Ive had this Resolute Roadblock head for over a year now, and finally had the...

    Major Bludd

    With this take on the major, I was really just wanting to play around with greenstuff. I decided that I also wanted to make a cybernetic arm that looked like it could exist in the real world. IE the mechanics are covered with plate covers on the non moving parts, and the joints are covered with...

    Ambush: post Joe dissolution

    This is my take on Ambush. This version is a PMC who has become harder and more worldly after the dissolution of the Joe team. No longer one for gimmicks he is a get in and get done type. Recipe: Head - Stalker v.3 w/ sculpting Torso - Alley Viper v. 1 Arms - Duke v. 3 w/ added wrist...

    Angel - First Appearance, Uncanny X-Men

    This was my first ever superhero custom. I lucked into another Angel late last month, and thought of doing this immediately! The figure lent itself very easily to the process, and with a head & hand swap, plus some minor sculpting I felt it was a dead ringer! Well that and a nice wash to the...

    Outback

    So this, as a WIP, was originally going to be Clutch, but then I decided that Outback needed some love that wasnt the Monkeywrench or Snowjob head. Thus from the parts and ashes of the old idea he arose like the phoenix to salvage a good part selection! Anywho... The read of his hair was...

    Tiger Force Dusty

    Dusty has always been my favorite joe. I honestly believe it was because of the flap on the back of the helmet. As a kid I know I thought that was the coolest thing! Ive had this one sitting for a LONG time. Its all from an extra 25th Dusty I had laying about. Tiger Force Dusty was the first...

    Solid Snake - Metal Gear Solid 1

    SO this figure has been put on the back burner for a very long time. However, since Ive had to put my MGS3 series on hold as i acquire parts, I revisited the original WIP made some sculpting tweaks and finished Snake up. Bio: After the dissolution of the Fox Hound team following the events...

    007 - Daniel Craig

    So Ive had this in the works for a bit, just havent had the body to finish it. I plan on getting another torso so I can do a jacketless version with a shoulder holster, but for now we have Bond's more business dress. Recipe: Head - SW geek cast Body - MU professor X with under shirt...

    Infected Shock Trooper

    Took me a solid year or more to finally make myself paint this head cast. Im so damn lazy sometimes. Anyway i hope you guys dig it. If I had an extra fodder body I would have painted it too, but I dont so the body is just as is. Recipe: Head - Tofujesse Cast Rest - Retaliation 3 pack Shock...

    Desert Djinn - Cobra Insurgent

    Desert Djinn is Cobra's desert forces commander and recruiter. His call sign prey on the superstitions of the native populace and allows Cobra's fear mongering to influence locals into joining Cobra's ranks. I like to keep my color palettes simple. I hope you guys enjoy, and comments and...

    MU Nightcrawler

    This was a quick repaint and accessorized custom. I finally found the Age of X or whatever version of Nightcrawler that came in the most recent MU line. With that I took it upon myself to return him to the proper colors of the past. Admittedly there was one made like this in the past lines but I...
