Doctor Solar

Well here he is Boges! The custom you motivated me to work on. I saw that you used the ML Astonishing X-Men Cyclops and I knew I had one in the 12 inch Marvel Icons scale collecting some major dust!!! I dremmeled down all the yellow lines on his costume and got his visor down to the appropriate width. Actually the visor could be better but oh well. I sanded him down a lot and all the white in the WIP pics is Aves Apoxie! My first time using so damn much of that stuff, and it was awesome! I used it to make a sort of twisting flame coming out of Solar's torso, his chest logo, and also the pouch on his waist. I wanted his flame tail to mimic the comic cover shown. I had never heard of Doctor Solar before Bogie, but I loved Bogie's figure so I made my own version with a twist. Oh yeah and that is most definitely a doll stand holding him up, thank you much hahaha. Rock and roll, hope you guys like it! Comments appreciated as usual!

Recipe for the paragraph-phobes:
• Base - ML Icons Cyclops (Astonishing X-Men)
• Aves Apoxie - chest logo, flame tail, pouch on waist
• Testors Model Masters/Tamiya paints
• super awesome doll stand
• backdrops are printed form the interweb

Bioshock's Andrew Ryan (SOLD)

Recipe:
Base figure - Giles from Buffy the V.S.
Head - Tony Stark
Apoxie used for - fixing shoe, golf tee and flag, golf ball, golf club head and handle, cigarette
Golf club (grey part) - ink holder from inside of a pen
Golf cup - pen part
Golf green - foam board wrapped in green felt
Magazine props and backdrops - printed from internet
Pistol - ML Union Jack

Okay I am a GIANT fan of the game Bioshock! Played through at least 4 times. Anyway I thought I'd make a custom of Andrew Ryan, the head honcho of his underwater city, Rapture. Backdrops are print outs I made at work, I did not design them I just grabbed them off the ol' interweb. Base figure was Giles who is from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. 

So I swapped his head with an angry Tony Stark head and repainted his outfit in Model Masters. I also had to fix his left shoe with Aves Apoxie. Other things I made out of Apoxie were the golf tee with flag, golf ball, golf club head and handle, and cigarette. The actual grey golf "club" part is the plastic ink holder of a pen. Golf green is made out of foam baord wrapped in green felt. The actual golf cup is bordered with a circular pen part. Enjoy gamers and feel free to comment!

The Great Tiger

My love for videogames is undeniable in my everyday life....still at 26 years old haha! My girlfriend and I bought the new Wii Punch-Out game and I had to make this guy! Here we have The Great Tiger from Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! I thought that Kraven was the perfect base for him, being slender but muscular and having a GREAT facial expression! I didn't give him a darker flesh tone even though Tiger IS from India, but I still like how it turned out. The colors I used on his pants and gloves, along with the tattoo are all my new tweaks to the character. The chest tattoo is a tribal tiger image I painted, but was found on the web. Oh yeah and there I am painting haha!!!! 

Recipe for Great Tiger:
• Base - ML Kraven
• Gloves - SOTA Ken
• Aves Apoxie - turban, mustache, goatee, glove parts
• Chest tattoo - pencil, pen, then black paint
• Testors Model Masters and Citadel paints

Overlord - with Minions (SOLD)

This masked man is from the videogame Overlord for PS3 and Xbox 360. He is an evil dominating ruler of his land and has many devilish minions who carry out his every diabolical wish. I took some new pics of Overlord since the August CMC with his evil minions (courtesy of Gamestop). Overlord took weeks to complete and has multiple coats of Citadel and Testors Model Masters paints. Note the worn armor effects and how the armor realisticly shines in the sun...hopefully blinding his pathetic enemies!
Recipe :
- Base : DCU Ares
- Aves Apoxie : anything white in WIP photo (helmet horns, arm gauntlet) plus red horn on bottom of axe
- Weaponry / silver armor / Lion Boot : Spawn fodder repainted
- Cape in back : from DCU Azrael repainted
- Cape in front and below waist : Spawn and DCU Azrael also repainted

The Magus Triumphant (SOLD)

(from Infinity War circa 1992)

Recipe:
Head - ML Magneto series 3
Body - ML Adam Warlock (Red Hulk series)
Belt - repainted fodder
Afro - sculpted
Lightning Bolt - sculpted
Right Arm Band - sculpted
Shouler Pads - sculpted
Boot fronts - sculpted
Paints - Citadel Acrylics

This is The Magus Triumphant as portrayed by me. I was reading through the Infinity War and Infinity Gauntlet series and I thought this guy was awesome! He's basically the alter ego of Adam Warlock, which is what I used for the base figure. I used a couple different refences as you can see, one from Infinity War, and another with the afro from Wikipedia. Gotta love the afro! Everything in the WIP picture that is white was sculpted by me. Everything in general was disassembled, dremmeled, sanded for paint rub, and repainted too.
