Fourth crack at HM, this time with non-removable helmet, and in the 13" DC Deluxe scale. Lex Luthor base body.

Helmet combination of leather and sculpting. Wings somewhat posable, completely handmade (feather application takes forever, and leaves you with crusty glue fingers).

Outfit and boots handmade, but bootsoles are lifted from a DCD figure.

12" Hawkman 1:6 custom figure removable helmet redux

Second crack at Hawkman in the 12" scale. Everything hand made on this one: helmet, wings, mace, boots and costume. Wings are bendable but only gently.


He's up on Ebay if anyone's interested: [url]http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130449452011[/url]

Mera 13" custom figure

Mera 13" custom. Used Black Canaray 13" from DCD as base, removed plastic hair and wigged. Tiara is handmade. Costume hand-sewn based on Silver Age design. Flippers were a pain to get right but she can stand easily on her own. Trident is Aquaman's.

13" Custom Iron Man redux

Third go at classic Iron Man, this time again in the 13" format. Red armour is real leather, with a molding process that I use to get it to show musculature detail of the body. Lex Luther 13" from DCD is the base; didn't do much repainting for his face since mask will hide it most of the time. Helmet is hand sculpted. This figure takes about 3 times the work and time of the other figures, so might be the last Iron man I do.

12" custom Phantom Girl

First Legionnaire, but will do more. PG is the standard brunette Otaku female base body with no repainting. Costume is stretchable vinyl, belt custom-made based on art from the 70s. Otaku body comes with sculpted nipples and camel toe (wtf?), so some judicious sanding to keep the figure looking a little less porn-doll.

Before nipple-sanding:





And after:



13" Custom Nightcrawler

13" scale Nightcrawler, using the Robin body as base. Head is a shaved-down, re-painted Aquaman, but still looks a little large to my eye. Costume a mix of pleather and spandex. Feet, tail and hands were re-purposed from the Marvel 12" figure --helluva time getting them attached, but they're articulated and sized right.




13" Custom Iron Man

Another go at Iron Man in 13" scale. Used DC Deluxe Lex Luthor as base, with sculpting to create back half of helmet. Faceplate stays on with help from ear pieces. Outfit leather, with gold spandex and sculpted armour pieces (Sculpey).

Custom 12" Iron Man w/ removable faceplate

Custom order using Triad for a base body. The torso was a little skinny, so built it up with strips of foam to build up musculature. Everything hand-made: Molded leather for the armour, molded helmet and face plate.
