Title: my customs :(
Post by: beast from the east on March 01, 2011, 10:23:15 AM
First off my custom rodian pirate. I will say this wasn't my original body I wanted to use. I bought the head from someone and it was way small for the ball on Greedo's body.The ball was almost the same size as the head itself. So I had to come up with another body and I thought since he is a pirate a bigger body would work. I am so so with how it turned out.

After watching an esp with Trench, I wanted a General like that I can use in my dio stories. Coming from the same planet as Bossk, he wears the same generic space suit as him.

Ok I got some acrylic gel that a friend recommended. My first mission was to give RoadBlock some hair so I can have another character for my joe verse. I think it turned out ok for my first attempt at doing this.

Acrylic gel? I'm not sure that I have ever heard of it before. How does it work?
Title: Re: my customs :(
Post by: beast from the east on March 17, 2011, 09:18:35 PM
it looks alot like vaseline.Same kind of texture as it as well.  So what I did was throw some on the head as much as you think will cover what you want and let it dry some. It become stiffer and you can work it and mold it into what shape you want. As you noticed it gets really hard and will not come off.Once hardened...you can paint it. You can use paint brushes to apply it or tooth pick or whatever.

I got it at www.squadron.com  It's a 237 ml for $2.99 plus shipping. 1 Bottle is quite a bit but I got 2 so I will have a lot to practice with. Its called Acyric gloss Gel medium

You can make water, icicles as well it you don't like the hot glue method.

If anyone remembers those OLD LJN wrestlers from the 80's know that LJN went belly up before they completed the tag teams.They made Ax of Demolition and warlord of Powers of Pain. I finished my Smash and here he is.I used the same figures as AX.

Thanks. I am working on some more customs.Well redo them. Storage wasn't kind to them . Alot of paint rubs while in the box and picked up and moved around until I set them again in my ring.
Almost done are Owen Hart, Barbarian and Tama(Islanders)

It was suggested to use a Bob orton for a Crush.That may be in the works as well as a Dino Bravo(Bruno figure)

Just when I thought I had forgotten just about everything from my childhood, you bring out the guys that are likely still in my parents attic back home.  I'm gonna have to check for them next time I visit the 'rents!

I finally recieved my torso for my  Law Quane figure. I am just in the beginning stages.

Custom clone Law Quane
My first torso crack to switch arms. I have a lot of modding left to do.I need to cut the left hand off as no POA for it to do an easy switch.I have another hand to make it look normal.

He had a cloth arm and a bare arm
