Fitz is a Jurassic World Owen with a SHIELD badge glued on. I bought the figure because I needed the armor, so, what the heck, why not make a Fitz? The "not quite Chris Pratt" face makes a passable "not quite Iain De Caestecker". Just stick some tech gadgets in his hands and, bang, you've got a Fitz.

First of all, awesome AOS customs, spot on man, second, you need to do a showcase, I’m getting eye strain starring at some of the awesomeness in the background ( I love that owl and I can barley see him!)

Can someone post a pic of the Ragnorak Hulk next to some figs, please?

Perfect. Thanks much! How hard is it to get all that crap off the figure? Trying to figure out how much work it'll be for future customs with that body since I still have yet to see that set in person.

Helmet, shoulder pad and 'skirt' are loose but the skirt is a bit stiff and may need to be cut. Everything else is part of the sculpt.

CCC.

Ugh. Well that sucks. But love the height of the fig, so I can make it work, no problem. Will be a good base to make some larger characters on. Thanks, LM!

Along with the Predator, there was an Aliens homage with "Desert Battle" Duke from the Pursuit of Cobra along with the RHINO APC from years back.

Ask him to cast it in transparent blue. If you haven't ordered from him before, you should be aware that he can be very slow filling orders. I haven't ordered anything from him for a while, so I don't know if anything's changed, but it's taken months to receive things. Best to ask him what the expected turnaround time is before you order.

I posted the Owl a long time ago (it was one of my first customs), but Crossbones was more recent. I'll repost them both anyway. Be warned: My Crossbones is nowhere near good as The Creator's.

On a side note, I have a bunch of Marauders, GI Joe and other customs (movie characters, horror, original characters, etc) that don't fit any particular category. Are there specific threads to post them?

kylactus · 05-19-2018, 09:27 AM

Nice work, who’s the green ghost rider head over owls shoulder? Post em all here man, it’s not like your going to clog a thread for a dead toy line, right? Other than awesome customs what do we really have left?

He's my take on the Atomic Skull. If no one else minds, I'll post my other pix here. I'll space them out so I won't clog the thread (and it'll give me time to take some out of focus pictures with my terrible camera

).

#1 reason why I don't order from him. I'm not waiting months to make something. No way! If he gets to a *normal* turn around time then I'll dump a bunch of money on him. Until then, pass...

Definitely spread out the pics, but post the layout you've got there in the background there. I've been able to identify a few characters here and there but would like to see them better.

I'd rather see customs than Hasbro's craptastic offerings, but that's just me.

Mordiganne · 05-19-2018, 11:17 AM

I've got so much work left to do on this batch it's ridiculous. I'm doing a heavy sculpt batch once again (you'll see what I mean) but I really wanted to stop putting these characters off. Coming out well, but so time consuming. I have to see if there's something out there that will cure quicker yet still give time to work on the sculpting.

Anyway, a buddy of mine has free tickets to DP2 so will be checking that out tonight. Looking forward to the movie since I wasn't going shell out money to see it in theaters, but I'll for sure go for free!

The Creator · 05-19-2018, 04:26 PM

Hey Creator, how you doing!

I'm doing fine Sender just took a little vacation. Hope all is well with you bro. Nice customs Villiano and also sweet crossbones. Take you're time Mordiganne because you do great clean work and can't wait to see what you come up with. Now back to the LABORATORY!!!!!

Pretty much nothing right now. The toy aisles are packed with “role play”, 6” and 12” dolls tho:

He used to have a good turn around time. Then stuff happened & he never seems to be recovering from that. People have suggested he just stop taking orders & finish his pending orders first. He just doesn't seem to get it. Apparently he needs to take orders just to have money to finish old orders. It is like a vicious circle he can't get out of.
I've seen other casters fall into this problem time & time again.
