The DCU Figures Customizers Thread, Part 6 (Potential Spoilers)

[Casimir]

Whoa! Tyke strikes again! You do have a day job, yes?

Awesome work all around, though I don't know a one of them. That Kirby. What a character!

Great use for that Boba Fett, too!

[Super Powers!]

Great Scott!

Awesome figures Tyke! I can't wait for a nice class photo of all these Fourth World characters!! How awesome!

Joel

[Tyke]

[Mister Miracle]

I like it! wat do u guys think?

[lincolnmrk66]

Looking good, Simon!! Nice idea

Another cool round of figures from Tyke...Nice job on all!!

[Super Powers!]

I originally intended to paint him a light grey, but the spray paint I used came out too dark on him, so I covered him with a coat of the silver/chrome spray paint (same as Cyborg) and I think my mistake turned out OK...



Pretty easy figure, I'd like to see Mattel get the rights to him and the other Charleton characters.
SP!

[Tyke]

MM: that Superman looks pretty cool...you're getting creative! I just don't care much for that style body...he looks so...slim! Loved the movie, love the robot and luthor figures, but not a big fan of the superman figures from that line.

SP: that Captain Atom looks perfect. Don't worry about it...stop calling him a "mistake", you'll hurt his feelings.

Tyke
Your new customs are amazing my friend! always impressing! keep up the good work and when mr miracle comes out!!!! def will go well with your set!

[Tyke]

As always, thanks!

Here's some more (some are customs from a year or two ago...but in a snazzy Kirbyesque frame!)

[Dusty]

Sweet job tyke!
Okay it's been a long time since i finished a custom...
I also fixed up my Kan Jar Ro Figure...
sorry that the pictures suck,

[CoastCityDude]

Tyke, your Kirby 4th World customs are the all kinds of groovy, man! I might need a giant group shot again to keep track of the whole massive project again, though. I know you're tackling the Forever People, for instance, but I can't remember if there's an Infinity Man custom to keep 'em company...? You should've entered the whole lot to CustomCon---and walked away with honors aplenty!

(Hey---you've even got the fabled "Kirby Dots" as the background. Sweet!)

Great new cutoms Dusty, and sweet 4th world charaters Tyke! I really love the new Darksied.

[Dusty]

thanks,


D.

[Tyke]

Dusty: man, that GL in military attire is great. Very fine idea, sir! And KanJarRo looks mean and ugly!

CCDude: group shot on the way, and Infinity Man is DEFINITELY going to be completed soon, as is a Mokkari, Simyan, and Brola. Thanks! As far as Custom Cons, I can't keep up with them and I absolutely HATE deadlines when it comes to a hobby. I just do this when I'm inspired

Bat313: Glad you like Darkseid, thanks fer look'n!

[Dusty]

thanks tyke, i will try to post better pictures soon,


D.

[Casimir]

Dusty strikes again! Well done, sir.

ok i got a working question. i thought i read somewhere that plumbers putty was good to use when mold on things like hair. my problem is plumbers putty doesnt dry so how do i paint it? any help is much appreciated.

[Tyke]

I only use Super Sculptey (which is unreliable and cracks later in life).

Casimir and the other geniuses on this board have discussed EPOXY PLUMBER'S PUTTY on this thread, i think....i KNOW if you go to http://www.pilliod.net, you'll find all the answers!

[lincolnmrk66]

Thanks to Casimir, I now use plumbers epoxy. DO NOT use plumbers putty, it is completely different. Putty comes in a tub, and doesn't dry. EPOXY PUTTY is a two part clay-like substance that dries like hard plastic. It can be found at any plumbing store...Walmart carries it sometimes. Hope this helps

Here are sample images of both;
