GI Joe Wild Bill








Like a lot of my figures, this just sorta came to me while messing around with parts and thinking to myself how crappy I always thought previous versions of Wild Bill from the factory are and how easy it would be to correct that with a few parts changes. I am very pleased with how this one turned out, and now if only he had a chopper to fly around!

Marvel Universe Planet Hulk











Given multiple shades of testors MM acryls to bring out all the details of the mold and a re-paint of the armor and weapons this is my rendition of Planet Hulk. The one thing I felt was really annoying with the figure was that he couldn't properly hold his weapons, so I fixed that. I really like this figure a lot and am impressed lately with the Marvel Universe series.

Transformers Straxus




























I gave this guy a total make over using enamels and I really enjoyed all the detail and time it took to paint! After all, the painting is my favorite part of any project. Instead of his usual blue color scheme, I went with black and copper and I am very pleased with how the colors turned out. I have always wanted to be able to display Transformers characters with their vehicle modes instead of having to choose which I wanted at the time. So, I made two Straxus figures, and have one in his alt mode to match the bot!

Marvel Universe Dr. Doom









I spent some time giving Doom a complete re-paint making his armor more darker and more metal like. I then used various shades of green to even out his clothing and made his pistol holster functional. Lastly, I found a small cup in my fodder bins and thought it would make a perfect chalice for him.

Marvel Universe Colossus

























Colossus is my favorite of the X-men so I wanted to give him a total re-paint to go along with this great figure from Hasbro. While I did paint his eyes white, my camera didn't pick up on them due to the sheen of his metal skin. I am really happy with how this figure turned out though!

Marvel Universe Archangel

























I have been seeing a lot of customs lately having Archangel in his new X-Force costume, but I wanted to have him in his classic duds. This figure's paint was terrible right out of the package! I couldn't stand the pink lining so I re-painted all the pink areas maroon instead as I enjoy small tedious free-handing anyway. After various touch ups on the main figure I sprayed his wings with chrome and sealed them with a high gloss sealant. This was a tedious yet fun re-paint!

Mcfarlane's Spawn and Clown (with special guest Deadpool)























This was a commission piece and I wanted to make Spawn with a mix of his old and new costumes (I just don't like the huge boot look). I also didn't want the cape to be the focus of the piece so I went with a ragged smaller version. I did plenty of sculpting on this figure and also gave him an unmasked head and plasma blast add on accessory. As a bonus for my customer, I re-worked a junker Clown figure that my good buddy Tankster gave me in a parts swap. Lastly, since I also made a Deadpool figure as part of my customer's order, I took the opportunity to have a little fun with pic editing!
