A Thread For Custom Figures

[GermanAstra]

So, you ordered a blank head and painted it yourself? Good job, then!

[Mooncat]

Looks bob on m8

Great start

Ive swapped my Desert Camo's for some greens btw (had to move the arm pocket down, unstitched and then glue stitched, and also coloured the collar and cuffs) :





heres what he was in before, for those that didnt see my original thread:

I picked up DST’s 12 inch Jack figure and went to work on destroying him, haha. To my surprise I found an RDA sculpt under all that paint.

Its up to personal opinion as to whether you see RDA in this but for my second figure head paintjob I feel pretty darn good about it.

[GermanAstra]

Well, I think your eyebrows are a bit too thin. Maybe not as thick as the original, but he is no woman, either. A bit thicker would be nice, and don't forget the scar!

But otherwise, it looks indeed better, stronger, faster... um, never mind!

PS: Maybe a hint of stubble around the chin? I've noticed a shadow once in a while...

Definitely good suggestions as always, Astra. I'll have to give him a little more attention. Thanks.

[Mooncat]

Id try a drybrush on the hair I always saw him as a little more silver with darker roots

But RDA's definitely there, amazing what a repaint will do superb job

I'm really impressed with how you pieced the vest together. Looks like it belongs. Did you make the jackets yourself? They look perfect.

[JediKnutt]

The jackets were made for me by urbanrevtoys.com. He makes all types of clothes and accessories for 1/18 scale figures. I commissioned him to come up with Stargate outfits and he did an awesome job. He could even make the pants, but I passed on those. I wasn't real happy with the vests he came up with and when I saw the PTE (power team elite, found at most Big Lots and KBToys stores), I knew I could come up with something. Thanks for the kind words. The rest of the team is on the way. I will try and post new pics here. Thanks again.

I got an opportunity to put together my 1/6th Sheppard and take some pictures. Thanks again to Mooncat for the tips and tricks.

As Jack would say:

[Thunderbird 2]

Beautiful work Blues! - You and Mooncat are leading the way in this larger scale by a long chalk!

The "kneeling" pic is particuarily good. The lighting and position captures to essence of Mr Flanigans's physicality as the character.

I am hoping (crosses fingers) to get the firstr of my customs started at some point in the new year. There are a few essential components still missing, so we will have to see.

That rocks, cool pic, has me stoked for mine now

Thanks all! I had a lot of fun piecing it together and its left me with new ideas.
