A Thread For Custom Figures

[Norrin]

Gotta Love 3 Day Weekends!
I finally got to finish Apophis.
Here’s some pics>

The Eyes didn't come out quite as well as I wanted-


And some “Action” shots….

Works for me! I love the way you brought out the definition on the suit armor. I like the eyes. Very Apophis-like. He really stands out as unique against the other Jaffa despite being the same face sculpt. Awesome job Norrin. Man, now I want to do up one of these. One more idea to poach.

Norrin, what about doing a gold serpent guard helmet for Apophis like he had in Children of the Gods? Anyway, the Apophis looks great, and after seeing your figure I might make one for myself.

I got the feeling I was ignoring Cam in my custom ideas and so this version was born. It isn't 100% finished as I'm missing the shoulder patches. I need to get my skates on and find that decal paper so I can use Norrin's patch sheet. I'm also not sure if this is going to stay a Cameron figure. The head and/or ball joint of Jack and Cam are different so Cam's head will pop off with a slight tug but its not something that's likely to happen spontaneously so I'm OK with it for now.

Did you make the short sleeves yourself? How?

The arms are from Black Ops Daniel and I just added a cuff with sculpey. I really broke my own rule on this one because now I have General O'Neill arms and a T-Shirt torso left over that I don't know what to do with but its worth it to me.

Awesome Mitchell figure. You did an awesome job! I hope they end up releasing one like that.

[GermanAstra]

Yeah, I meant the cuffs. Really awesome!

I'm waiting for the day when someone is making a General O'Neill in his Dress Blues for me *dreams*

Thanks, really appreciate it. I figured it was safe enough that DST wouldn't be doing one anytime soon.

Dude! That's an awesome idea. I'm adding that to my list even though I don't know how to pull it off.

Thanks, that would be great!

Well, I hope you can use the BDU-general O'Neill. The hardest thing will be the collar of the uniform and the hat, but maybe you also can use sculpey there.

And then we send a picture to DST to show them what we want

Well for the hat you could try to find a Marvel Legends Red Skull –


Might be a little expensive tho….

Hahahahaha... thanks for the input guys. I'm writing all this stuff down. And here I thought adding cuffs was ambitious for me. So while we're in theoretical mode, what about legs? You’d need a real straight ironed pant look for it to appear proper. Sand down the legs and then build up any missing spots?

[GermanAstra]

You're right! I did not even think about that yet! And shoes! He also would need polished shoes! Can't exactly wear combat boots, either!

Oh boy, I think that one really will be a challenge. *hides*

I decided to try out the patches which Norrin made. heres the results

I know that it can be done and someone could make a really great figure. I'm even fool enough to believe that I could be one of those people. For me this is going to be a long term project thats going to take some more practice and research on uniforms to get it right.

Right on, I'm so glad to see them in action. I've got to get me that decal paper.
