I think he's trying to match the original color. The problem is that in order to match precisely you'll need to experiment. I had to mix my own purple when I made my Thanos last year from Red Hulk. If you have any of those tubes from might putty laying around they are great for paint mixing. I suggest taking the fig w/ you to the store, and check the color against the bottles there. Once you find a shade of red close to what you want in the finish you want see if it needs to get darker or lighter. Of course like we all learned in art class as kids if you want to go darker add black, and if you want to go lighter add white.

Rodimus! Awesome figures!

 

What's the recipe for Mr. Freeze? Where does the backpack and dome come from?

[RodimusVTS]

Thanks Tiger. Victor is mostly a Hydro Armor. I popped the head off, and ended up gluing the PoC Destro head (which is where the back pack is from) on the peg (couldn't move it after gluing the dome on any way). Next I popped the lower arms off of the Hydro armor, and switched them out w/ the lower arms from a movie Warmachine (I had to fill the elbow joint on the Hydro armor's arms w/ green stuff to make them fit). Now since WM's hands can't hold anything I switched those hands for the PoC Destro's hands, and the build was complete. I got the dome from TF Joe who sold me his extra Deep Dive dome.

 

so that's:

head:

PoC Destro

body:

Hydro Armor

lower arms:

Warmachine

hands:

PoC Destro

back pack, and freeze gun:

PoC Destro

dome:

Deepdive

I luv that Lex it looks great. I have a question for everyone I trying to make my first sull custom and need help painting I need dark red and I don't know what colors i need to mix to get the red I need I trying to redo my Magneto.

 

you trying to change the color of magneto?

[BiGBoYB]

Hey thanks for the paint advise. This is my first time doing this so I hoping to get it it right the first time.

[IrrepressibleDarkHorse]

Awesome Freeze!

If you are trying to darken a red that you have already, add a touch of brown. Black will make it too dark and a totally different color altogether.

No wonder I had so much trouble dealing with that situation! It always gets too dark even if I use just a little pint of black. Thanks for the advice, Onyx!

[Onyx]

Here's an example of how brown can be used to darken red.

 

[Legend]

Looking good!

[Onyx]

Thanks! Here's a head w.i.p. shot.

Speaking of Magneto... here's my 2.0!

 

Enjoy!

 

 

 

And of course more images and recipe can be found HERE

 

Enjoy!

[Quasimodo]

Soooooo much better than the normal one!!!! reminds me how bad we need new figures of everyone that uses that body

[Kilo23]

wow, your Magneto is awesome!

[dragonkings]

Still a beginner here but here is a

 

3.75 Inhuman torch I made out of a showdown Torch, nemesis enforcer Wings and Ghost rider head

 

 

 

 

[TF Joe]

Very nice Inhuman Torch man. I like it. Well done. Nice choice with the Nemesis Enforcer wings.

[dragonkings]

thank you,

my painting is still sloppy but improving much with all the tips from here and O.P.P boards

 

the photos don't do it justice, though.

[almostoutofweed]

Legend all joking and stuff aside. Your customs are the most amazing things ive ever seen. You truly have a gift man. I wish you were making your figs and selling them like onyx is doing with heads....cannot wait for the cyclops...its all i can think of.

[RodimusVTS]

Hey DK that Inhuman Torch is great. I think the paint apps are great. Being a little sloppy on fire detailing, and camo detailing is ok since it is supposed to be totally random.

[Prem1x]

Has anyone done a Controller custom yet? http://www.comicvine.com/controller/29-3232/

 

I suppose Thanoses are rare atm, but I would think he's (almost) a simple repaint.

thanks,

 

originally I was thinking of doing a AOA Sunfire but I decided to make a Inhuman Torch instead. I think the MS torch lends to it much better.

I may still try the AOA Sunfire out of a Marvel universe torch if Marvel doesn't make it.

[RodimusVTS]

Hey Pre that is very close. If they don't make him I'll be VERY surprised.

 

I'm working on a custom set of Fury, and his Howling Commandos. I was going to use this Fury head I got in a lot of heads on ebay, but the only thing is I thought that Fury always wore the eye patch, but after DLing the whole series of Fury, and his Howling Commandos I didn't find him wearing one any where in them. (after scanning through every issue). So when exactly did Fury start wearing the eye patch? Also I know Wolvie wasn't in the comic version of the Howling Commandos, but I figure it is kind of cannon now w/ the Avengers cartoon. Besides we all know that he did work along side Cap, Bucky, and Fury in WWII.

 

[mikado67]

i think he started wearing the patch when he became head of shield

[Onyx]

Made from MU WWH, Iron Monger armor, and my own custom sculpted/cast head.
