Cannot wait to see these two finished!

took me a lot to make it that way, the legs are made by 2 different leg types, the upper part was from an iceman legs, trimmed down the muscle part on the legs and sanded it. the lower legs or the feet was from sandman, i never had the new amazing spiderman figure so i decided to use the sandman's feet instead i just had to take out those cuffs on the boot, was also planning to use sandman's upper legs too but it looks thinner when sanded... i got lazy adding mods on him ending up using iceman's instead.



He might be useful in future customs.

Holy crow dude! She's looking amazing! Please tell me someday you'll offer her up for casting. What you have done is beyond my abilities, and will be for a looooong time.

she will be, i'm currently working on another to send to the coolest guys in the world!

Some of the best news I've heard today!

Jon she looks awesome brother, fucking perfecto.

I think you've sold me on those Tamiya paints.

Oh yeah if your going for the sheen factor, Those paints are awesome, smell really bad, but work great.

There clear red, well all there clears, freaking awesome effects you can make. Like painting something silver then using clear yellow, makes a really good gold.

Smell is a deal breaker. Damn. That's why I went with what I currently use.

clear coats are cool... i'm currently using the waterbased one can be used with either an alcohol based thinner or just water... i stayed away with enamel... besides the smell... you have to use laquer thinner to clean up the brushes or they'll be messed up. i'm also using citadel and other brands but some colors aren't available.

Ah, so the acrylics don't smell? Cool. Now if only my local hobby shop hadn't gone out of business

I only use water based paints. games workshop, Model master, game color, p3 and of course these, Tamiya.

Oh no man they smell, all Tamiya do, but you get used to.

Wives, however, don't. Doesn't matter that my wife can sit in an enclosed space painting her nails or using ammonia based hair color - I crack open a bottle of model paint and suddenly the stench is overpowering.

Yep they all be like that.

That WW is great. The paint is so clean.

Wow, the work in progress is really titillating, As far as a female head goes, I've used Tia, not modified and it doesn't look super great. LOKA has a tutorial on how he trimmed her hair down, and that is a little better. I was thinking of trying the elf from WOW and trimming off the ears, that may be another idea to try... GREAT WORK!

Thanks guys,

I'm actually looking for other alternatives foor wonderwoman, she'll join my justice league and i want her to fit right in. tia's head is too large, i might take my chance for that WOW elf, thanks for the tip...


btw here's a few heads for my "assassins, ninjas and mercenaries" WIP

will upload once snake eyes and some other ninjas and mercs are done.



Thanks

Looking good my man. Loving that deathstroke head.

I'm with Dave, I like death stroke.

Love to see what you do with Deathstroke, especially the body build up.

More great work, my Brother!

You mean Ollie couldn't fend them off with his Green Arrow?

Happy new year guys...

just one WIP done:



hoping to finish more this january...

Beautiful paints as always. So question, do you ever use any finishes that aren't high gloss? I flip back and forth depending on the paint methods I use. Just wondering your opinion on the matter.
