Proteus' WiP Thread
 

thought i'd start one of these so you guys can see the stuff i try to get up to in my spare time!!!

First up is my main lead/hero character Frank(enstein) i love cheeky references to pop culture,so when i saw the SDS Frankster head i knew i had to use it!!! Originally one of my Heartbreakers team,iv headhunted Frank for an all new custom universe im working on,so i thought new setting=new body,and thanks to 'Arker Reaver Strike hooking me up with an MU Cable cyborg arm,Frank has finally come together,

heres his parts list:
SDS Frankster head
SDS Organic armor torso
GI Joe desert Ripcord legs
SW Quinlan Vos right arm
MU Cable left arm
SDS Burster sword
GI Joe Colt.45
GI Joe Desert-Viper goggles

he's pretty much complete,i just need to decide on how im gonna paint his armor,and if i want his skin green or flesh coloured,the biggest mod i had to do was modify the Cable arm's shoulder peg as it was way too long,i had to trim off the disc,cut approx 1.5mm off the peg,then drill both the disc and shoulder peg to enable me to fix the two back together with a cut down metal pin and superglue,anyway enough of my chitchat heres the pictures:

Next up is a stand alone figure inspired by the work the artist Bhead does im aiming to try to do something similarly detailed but in 1/18th scale(links to Bhead here>>Welcome to e-ureka.com... ^L^)

Iv gotta give a MASSIVE shout to Saint Phe for the headsculpt,he turned it out over a weekend,free of charge and im absolutely in his debt for it,its awesome,so much so my G/F is totally freaked out by it!!!! he's still in the very very early WiP STAGES,but i wanted to show off the head and the base,which i sacrificed one of my mutant toy customs for....

Lookin' GOOD, Proteus! I can't wait to see how they turn out. And that base/playset is looking sweet, too!

Good on ya, man! You're like a Frankenstein maker. Looking forward to what else comes down the pipeline as it's already superb.

Thanks bro!!! Glad ya like my work,i find customs REALLY taxing,and wish i was a lot more productive with the homegrown stuff,so its always good to get positive comments!!!

the day started off ordinary enough,nice and sunny,so thought id take some toy pics in the back garden,whilst digging through my bits box,i found a Zombie Punk head i bought from SDS a while back intending to headswap it onto my Zombie-Viper,so i took one look at my Hazard-Viper(who already had a Montezuma head) and i had one of those "i wonder if" moments. Well one thing led to another and i ended up spending most of the day cutting trimming and regluing the Hazard-viper,IG,and Resolute Duke armored vests back together,to give my new H-V a more subdued,and individual look:

Oh, the awesome monstrosities you could make with a workshop full of 12"-scale fodder. Great stuff as always, mate!

Hahaha I KNOW right??? Iv been tempted a few times,id love to get stuck into the soft goods side of 1/6th too,but i just dont have the space(or funds!!) For the figures and parts id need,i am planning a little kit-bashing of 1/6th scale stuff for my WWRp Bertie+Bramble so watch this space.....

They look really cool mate. I wondered what you'd been up to :).

A cyborg arm iv made,it was retro-fitted from a Halo:Reach GUNGNIR Spartan,it took a LOT of trimming and re-working,the upper and forearm sections had to be trimmed down,and the forearm had to be drilled to fit a 3.75 inch hand,the arm still has full shoulder,full elbow,and wrist articulation,it still needs a bit of smoothing out,and some filler work,but otherwise im really chuffed with how its turned out,especially given the amount of work needed to make it!!

Beer Keg Drop Pod:
scorched with a blowtorch,scuffed with sandpaper,and dented all over,im going to retain some of the beer keg appearance as its not really a "serious" custom,i just need to add some stickers and its ready to go!!!!!!

That's awesome. You need a fog machine in all your photos, f*ck yeah.

Thanks mate,i REALLY REALLY need some photo editing software,at the moment i only have smartphone access to the internet,so its proving a bit difficult for me,but hey if you ever wanna work some of your magic on any of my pics,please feel free!!!! ;)

Sounds good. When I have some free time, I'd like to mess around with a few pics.

That would be awesome mate!!! Please feel free to help yourself to any pics you want,or if you need original(not hosted) ones i can email em to ya as and when!!!

I just wish I had more time. I'm working way above my usual going rate and hours trying to complete three portfolio's for for pin-up models and working with a few small businesses to gather their past family reunion portraits and that's just running me ragged. I haven't even had time to set up my light box up again in over a year.

No rush mate,dont even sweat it!!!

Hulks new hair (and nails!!)

For sure, man. I love messing around on CS5, so first mess-time I get, it'll probably be one of your pics.

Hulk haircut looks amazingly rad as well. Looks factory made.
