Marvel & Transformers Customs

[RickCoronel]

Eye's are being fixed. Some other repaints & resculpts will be done before Saint Walker, it appears I sent it to DDV and not Ibentmyman-thing. So DDV has to send Avatar Jake to bent.

 

 

Blue Lantern's: Sister Sercy, Brother Hynn

 

"Red Lantern", "Blue Lantern", "Orange Lantern" Hal Jordan

 

Arkkis Chummuck

 

 

Info:

-The Jordan's will get the shiny treatment like blue flash.

[RickCoronel]

These went to Ibentmyman-thing. Also sent a Powergirl with Mystique head for Soranik Natu.

 

Bodies for "Red Lantern" Jordan, "Blue Lantern" Jordan, & Arkkis Chummuck:

 

 

 

 

These will go to M1, later in the month.

 

Ke'Hann, "Indigo Lantern" Atom, "Parallax" Hal Jordan, "Red Lantern" Mera:

 

[RickCoronel]

Took apart my DCD Lex Luthor, and my sister surprised me with a Luthor 2-pack so I went to work on combining the two to get a more accurate looking Luthor.

 

It looks great, just need to switch out the dcd neck/peg system since the dcuc/dcsh neck sucks.

 

Gonna add ankle movement from a TNA AJ Styles figure.

 

Most of the rest of the work will be sanding and adding trim for the torso piece.

 

 

-Pictures in a while.

[RickCoronel]

Here's those "Orange Lantern" Lex Luthor pictures:

 

 

 

[RickCoronel]

I got finished pictures of Brother Warth:

 

 

 

 

Ibentmyman-thing got the parts for Hal Jordan's & Arkkis Chummuck. He's gonna start on the different Hal's until that avatar jake gets to him from DDV.

Hulk 2099 looks great. Any group shots with him?

[RickCoronel]

This is the only picture I took of Hulk 2099:

Got a update on Solomon Kane from spawnsauce:

 

This is the head fully painted. He took this pic before he glued the brim of the hat on so you could see the face:

 

Here's with the hat on:

 

He's pretty much finished actually:

 

 

[RickCoronel]

Some cool poses:

 

 

He's finishing up sculpting on the alternate head as well:

[RickCoronel]

 

 

 

 

Info:

-The cloak is removable.

-His head pops off and you can slide the strap over his neck and under the armpit.

 

-He can't guarantee any guns however. He's going to try one more time to make some that look alright, but no sense delaying if the whole figure is finished.

 

-To him, he's pretty much done except for some minor paint and cloth touch ups.

 

-And maybe another sword or knife I can add somewhere.

To which gallery is that guy going?

[RickCoronel]

Solomon Kane goes to the Robert E. Howard shelve along with Conan, and Red Sonja. So, it's my non-Marvel/DC shelve. Planning on getting villains and a few good guys.

[Opticon]

Warth turned out awesome, and i'm surprised how much i like Solomon (i don't know the character and generally hate cloth on figures, heh).

[RickCoronel]

"Indigo Lantern" Atom from M1.

 

 

 

 

 

 

He's working on Munk "Indigo-2".

[Zarco]

I don't have the slightest idea who this guy is, but it looks very good, The feet need some work tough

[RickCoronel]

That's DC "Atom" in his indigo lantern costume. The feet are correct.

 

[Dark_Phoenix]

Atom looks amazing. great work there

[Zarco]

That's DC "Atom" in his indigo lantern costume. The feet are correct.

 

 

 

Oooooooooooooooh, now i see. Very good!

[RickCoronel]

Got another cool update from Dustin on Mongul Jr. plus the Radioactive Man that Cal had started and I got in that ebay lot from last april.

 

 

Mongul Jr:

 

 

 

 

[RickCoronel]

 

 

 

After adding all that mass, he's been refining the sculpt and making sure things are symmetrical.

 

The removable arm idea is totally do-able and he's included a picture of his socket, which should definitely support it.

 

The chrome dots are paper fasteners anchored in tiny holes, as you can see on his shoulder straps.

 

He used gold grommets on the rings to avoid sculpting all those circles, but then he realized they'd allow for snap-on constructs. Dustin's thinking about how to do removable ring faces for each ring, so any ring can be used for any construct. In order to start experimenting he'll get some clear plastic rods that can fit into the rings. Ideally eight will have ring faces and a few others will allow the constructs to attach to the rings.

 

He thinks his right boot is headed in the right direction. It took a while to figure out how to translate those classic big boots from the drawings into 3D.

 

Now that he have a sense of how heavy he is (heavy), he'll give some thought to adding thigh and shin articulation. If he can find and install strong enough pins for the joints, they would really give him an edge over the DCD figure.

[RickCoronel]

Radioactive Man:

 

 

 

[RickCoronel]

 

 

 

 

Dustin's been tinkering with Radioactive Man on and off since he received him. The engineering of the visor and the full-body sculpt work is fantastic, so after sanding the joints he concentrated on tightening up the harness and oxygen tank details. He'll put a clear dot like the ones on Cannonball's goggles on the harness buckle.

 

The pouches are from DCSH Batmen. He'll put pins through the buttons to anchor them in place. The boots are based on some widely-used hazmat boots.

 

The oxygen tank attaches with a post to the figure's back. Because it's not glued in place, the hose is pulling it at an angle, but after painting the tank will fit snugly onto the strap.

 

The only other sculpt work he foresee is making pieces of belt visible between the pouches. If I prefer the way JRJR drew him in Spider-Man with a belt buckle instead of pouches straight across, he can pop off the center pouch and sculpt a buckle. Beyond that, he thinks he's ready to be primed.
