Classic Era Storm

Here is my latest. With a grand total of ONE point of articulation, I present to you my Classic era Storm. She derived from a NECA Pirates of the Carribean "Tia Dalma" figure. With a complete repaint and an added (still modified) McFarlane base, she comes to life! I used all Citadel/Testor acrylic paints for this project. Storm's mohawk was taken from a DCU Ares. Her original base figure only had a right ear, so the left ear is from a wrestling figure. When I removed the original hair, I also had to repaint her entire skin tone because of blemishes from facotry glue.

As for paints on the dress, I used black, blue, and yellow mostly - which are Storm's primary X-Men uniform colors. Gave the black a slight purple wash and the blue a darker blue wash - might not show well in my pictures sorry. Oh and for her "petticoat" underneath her main dress I gave her a tannish off-white color with a blue and red wash. Let's not forget her white X on her stomach to symbolize who she crews up with at the end of the day. This I suppose would be a relaxing outfit for Ororo, but in the right time period of course.

The base. I used a McFarlane "Danger Girl" base that I got in a trade from one of you Soupers, sorry I forget who right now but I think it worked out! I sculpted over the front of the base to make it look like rock. Then I painted it grey with a wash and hand-painted that Storm logo - which comes from the Storm comic book I show in the reference picture. I sculpted snowballs that are coming from her hand to the base, along with foot placing for her to stand in. I was going to do a small tornado effect but she already has a base with that from a Legends figure. Well hope you guys like her.

Base figure - NECA Pirates of the Carribean Tia Dalma
Base mohawk - DCU Ares
Base stand - McFarlane Danger Girl modified and sculpted on
Snowballs - sculpted
Right ear - wrestler fodder

Apocalypse of Egypt - Sigma 6 style (SOLD)

My biggest custom to date!!  I have always loved Apocalypse for his sheer size and power. So instead of using a Marvel Legends base, I used the biggest Sigma 6 character I had - Heavy Duty. And since Apocalypse hails from Egypt, I wanted to give him some extra Egyptian godlike flare (helmet and base). I dremeled the joints, sanded down facial features, and repainted the entire Heavy Duty figure with Testors glossies (blue, silver, black, and a grey skin tone). I repainted a McFarlane helmet and borrowed a base from McFarlane, and the skull from a Blanka figure. Looots of time went into this guy, mostly the paint in his face and number of coats I did. Check him out next to Wolverine....what a beast!  The first picture is the base figure "Heavy Duty" that I used.

Fulgore from Killer Instinct the arcade / SNES game (1st custom,summer 2008)

Here's my first custom that I completed in the summer of 2008. It's Fulgore from Killer Instinct the arcade/Super NES game. I remember rocking this when I was 12 in the arcade and owning 20 year olds haha! I used an old Spawn "Overtkill" figure and you can see he has been changed dramatically from the original.
I remolded his entire head with Sculpey. His claw blades were cut down from another old crap figure. I took the tubes from the Overtkill to use for Fulgore's breathing tubes on his head. Oh and the hair is a torch from an old Soul Reaver toy. I used Testors acrylics and I think it gives him a sweet cartoony look. Also lots of dremeling went into this guy! Let me know what you think of my first custom ever!
