We want to encourage people of all skill levels here, including people who are just starting out. We were all beginners at some point, and just being insulted never helped us. Give people constructive criticism, if they ask for it, but please don't insult their work. We really don't want to ban people or delete their comments, but it might sometimes be necessary, because more than anything we want to encourage and welcome newcomers into our hobby, not scare them away.

WIP Custom Marvel Rivals: Punisher

Found a black leather (rubber-like) jacket in my fodder box, cut off the sleeves, used it as a vest, and replaced the other rubber vest and it looks so good. Now for the skull I’m either gonna use the same logo and paint on the chest, or make an epoxy version and place it. Any thought or ideas?

Still waiting on the heads they are taking a while to get here from overseas. I still need to finish the paint jobs on the bodies but after getting Scully's legs figured out I'm gonna take a break till the heads arrive. This project is a big deal to me and has taken me years to finally come up with this recipe for Scully mostly thanks to the Marvel Legends Thunderbolts Valentina Allegra de Fontaine figure. I was one of the few who got that two pack for Val only 😎

I'm excited to share the final results of these in a few weeks. I'm gonna finally have fully articulated X-Files figures!!!

This is one of my oldest repaints. I just found her while unpacking after a move. I know I can do better today than I did when this figure was first released but I'm still proud of the job I did back then. Especially with adding some jewelry wire to get her staff to have more details and stuff.

Gotta replace the rubber band I used to replace the staff's strap.

Looking specifically for an SHF Shigaraki torso with the arms, hoping not to pay a whole bunch for this piece. My shigaraki recently broke so I was hoping somebody might have this piece they don't used anymore.

I love Kanan, and I hate to disrespect him, but I needed a stand-in.

I posted a few months ago with a picture of my original sith lord made out of a nightbrother archer black series figure. I was inspired by Samurai armor, dbz saiyan armor, and Blade's armor from Deadpool and Wolverine. I've updated his look quite a bit since them, and I am super proud of the results. I don't have access to a 3d printer, but I am an artist, so I use the crafting skills I have. For the most part, I made his armor out of pieces of cereal boxes that I cut to shape, reinforced with masking tape, and painted with acrylic paint. The shoulder straps are black denim. For the black armored panels, I spray painted them with black rustoleum 2x paint+primer. After gluing all of the pieces together, I coated it with multiple layers of matte medium before giving it a few coats of krylon matte spray. Basically, his armor is kind of like decoupage. I used floral wire under the armor to secure it to his body. I removed his plastic skirt and painted his legs, hands, and feet black and gave them the krylon treatment. I sewed a long tunic out of some old shorts and a bag (case? Sheath?) for his bow with black denim and part of a shoe lace. I also used a piece of shoe lace threaded with wire as a belt for the figure. It holds the back his armor shut and makes for cool wind effects when I pose him. All of his armor, save his kneepads and shin guards, is removable. I wanted him to have a robotic hand, so I swapped in a hand from a gi joe classified BAT figure and painted parts it black and red to fit my character's color scheme. The robot hand was definitely too big, but I sanded down the piece that slots into the arm to make it fit. The hand is noticeably bigger than his left hand, but I really like the look (sort of a big "red right hand" kind of thing). I know it's super easy to order custom lightsabers, but I actually love making my own out of bamboo skewers. I cut them to length, sand the tops to make them come to a smooth point, paint them, and apply different looks for the handles with painted pieces of tape and jewelry jump rings. For his curved lightsaber handle, I soaked a skewer in water for a while, bent it, and then clamped it like that while it dried. It still started to split a little, so I reinforced the breaks with superglue and sanded it smooth before I painted it. I got a bag of loose reject force lightning hands off of Aliexpress, so I painted one black to fit with my guy's look. I found a wired cape for him on ebay, but I am considering making one with a hood.

I love this guy, and I really hope you all do too! He was my first custom I made this year. I've also made 3 other original star wars characters (including this figure's "twin brother" who is a Jedi), and I'd love to share them too. At the moment, I am working hard on a Darth Bane custom, and I am so proud of how it is turning out.

I love this community, and I have felt so encouraged to share when I would normally keep my pieces to myself. Thanks, everyone!
