Stardust...............

So its been a very busy time this month. So far ive done repaints of the Hulk, Doctor Strange, Hercules also re done my old rooftop spawn from a dc batman chess peice and also Maddison Jeffries.

The new facebook page is up and running and people are finding it easier to interact over there and its easier to upload and maintain, So thank you to all who have came over and had a peek so far and got involved.

This time as the title suggests Stardust herald of Galactus.
Stardust was made from a Blue Lantren and a lot of putty filing sanding and swearing. Two fingers were super glued in the making of this figure prompting abuse from the missus.

In the end he worked out rather well and Agent of Atlas over on the forum is more than happy to be happy to adding him to his collection.

Comments as always welcome and till next time enjoy :)

50 Shades of Grey

Hey guys thank you for brilliant feedback especially my fellow customisers. This month ive been working on a DC character Gentleman Ghost. I dont normally get a chance to make many DC characters with the last one being Apache way back last year. GG was highlighted all the way up from chaos black to the current white to give a it of body to the full white paint job. I think its came out well and shows the defination without loosing the ghostly effect of the character.
I had to use a diffrent back ground as well to bring out the figure as he was lost on the normal white so this was taken on my comic shelves. Its been brought to my attention Ninty had this idea before me. Great minds think alike it seems. Next up will be Scream,Stardust and hopefully Misty Knight eventually. Comments as always welcome and thank you for looking. Take care

Evolution

Hi Guys, Nice to see some new people Join the blog and some old friends, hi there Kal. So this month ive been working on a lot of repaints So far ive completed Sue, Reed and the Torch to go with the Thing ive already done. Also Nick fury and Bullseye as well. Heres Bullseye (as hes one of my favourite characters anyway) in a black costume like i had hoped he would have been in the collection.
Also ive been doing some repeat work as well. These two are for Max and are winging there way to him right now.
Ive also completed another Atlas (a huge task in its self to get the thing smoothed down and even harder to rebase *thanks to woza for supplying a base*) Speed Deamon and Tarantula as well so its been a busy month at the work table. Ill leave you with something new The High Evolutionary. Had always hoped he would be made but i had a go at him since he will never make the EM table.
As always feel free to leave feedback and comments and take care. Till next time

X marks the Spot

Hey guys. Heres the latest commission peices ive done. Silver Samurai and the Spot. Samurai is from Iron fist and a load of sculpting added on. Still hate filing down that collar on Danny though. And the Spot made from the Flash on the Dc line. Again a pain to get rid of the etching on him but once thats done the custom is pretty straight forward. Highlighted to white from a black base coat and then add some black spots. And both together A few more commissions to finish off so look out for the high evolutionary next off the paint table Thanks for looking and c+c always welcome

Weight of the world.

Hey guys hope this finds you all well. So with all this sun over in the UK its been hard to get motivated to get the brush out. Ive finished a few commission redos but heres something new and rather big as well. Atlas ~
This guy was a nightmare to dremmel and sand down to try and make him smoother and less of a orange peel effect. I think it works well and now all i need is fixer,swordsman and moonstone to round out my team then to add some of the more fringe members like jolt and charcoal. Then i may work on a mach V Hope you enjoy and c+c welcome

Diamond in the rough

Hey guys, So lots of stuff going on this week. Seems bloggers updated so ill have to get used to that but i think the biggest news is that the marvel collection has been given its final call. At issue 200 we will see the end of the collection. This time next year we will all be getting our last little lead superhero. In a way it will be sad to see the collection go (well the missus thinks its the best news shes heard this year). On the other hand it means i can now plug all the holes in my collection that i feel need filled and hopefully help a few other people with theres as well. Anyway without further a do heres this weeks submissions for you all. Diamond Back ~
Also ive repainted Yellow Jacket the Vision and Moondragon this week. Heres Yellow jacket for you to take a peak at.
Well thats all for this week. Take care and C+C welcome as always

Set in Stone

Hi again guys.

This week i have Grey Gargoyle for you. You may have noticed the Black panther base figure a week or so ago well now its been transformed to its new state.

For Mr Gargoyle i decided to do a little more drybrushing than i normally like togive him a more stone look effect.

I also painted his cape blue to stand out as i thought the all grey look was just a little flat even with all the inks and shades put into it (yes i done it both ways before deciding)

Well here he is. Hope you all enjoy.

Also if your lookign for some quality marvel customs you cant get much better than these beauties being sold on ebay at the moment from the very talented Elven Brit

Avengers assemble...

Then on to the new ness. Masque of the Morlocks makes an apperance.

Hopefully ill have 2 new figures next week to show along with 2 more repaints.

Enjoy and all c+c welcome.

And lastly the something borrowed. This is one of my mates Eldar 40k army ive been painting for him. So far ive had to do 50 of these little Harlequins so heres one next to a black panther to show the scale.

At last the teams all here.....

This little lady has been on and around my desk for a while now waiting to get finished and so i set to work on her while trying to ignore a rather troublesome episode of eastenders that the missus was watching.

So here she is Sue Storm in her future foundation get up.


Also ive almost finished painting up my friends warhammer 40k Eldar army for him and that should free up more time for me as well. Ill try get around to posting some of them up as well so you can see the size diffrence and just what ive been doing.
