Custom: AOA Sunfire (MU scale)

This took me quite some time to decide whether I should make it or not. I didn't want to open my Marvel Universe MOC Human Torch and I've never tried customizing a 3.75" figure before. I knew it wasn't going to be easy. Anyway, I decided to go on with the project since I've always wanted to make an AOA Sunfire in ML scale. The design of the character is just a beauty to look at. I sculpted the face and neck brace then created a base for him. At first I made the fire base out of glue but had a hard time making it balance so I attached it to a push button led light which works wonders. Not only did it make it stand, it adds a nice effect when turned on. Afterwards, I repainted away. I used mostly clear colors for the figure and base. The figure was done with clear red, orange and a little yellow while the base was done with the three plus a little smoke to add to the fire effect of the base. Hope you like my first little figure.

Custom: Anti Venom

Been longing to do this figure and never had the time to finish it. This project started as far as 8 months ago which was way before Marvel Select released their figure. Anyway, I used an SMC Toxin for the base then sculpted a number of details all over the body to achieve the Anti-Venom look then repainted then figure. I covered the black arachnid with the paint I used for Wasp just to create a brighter tone for the chest logo. The white is painted with a combination of flat and gloss white.

Custom: Ultimate Wasp

Just repainted my old wasp into the Ultimates movie version. I used a mix of silver and black for the costume to achieve a similar tone to gunmetal but a little bit darker.

Custom: Black Widow

Using a Invinsible Woman figure, I made a Black Widow based on the Ultimate Avengers movie. I sculpted a few parts of the costume then repainted away. The black parts are painted with a mixture of a little copper and semi gloss black.

Custom: Herr Kleiser

I was lucky enough to spot a perfect base figure for Herr Kleiser, the Chitauri super soldier. It was one of the Call of Duty action figures that had a very similar outfit with Herr's. I just repainted the figure with no sculpting. He's ready to face Steve and the rest of the gang.

Custom: Nightcrawler Night Light

Another useful custom I decided to make is this really cool Nightcrawler night lamp. I bought a night lamp from the hardware store then modified it to achieve the purple smoke which appears everytime Kurt changes places. The base was made from the night light's cover which I then covered with glue made from glue gun. Then painted it with the a combination of clear red and blue to achieve a purple look. The led light itself is covered blue which further enhances the smoke effect. I also attached a clear stand to put Nightcrawler into. I later realized the ML9 Nightcrawler doesn't have a hole so I made one near his ass. Hope you like it!

Custom: Stealth Iron Man USB Light

Here's something for the computer. A movie Iron Man figure turned into a USB light. I opened up the torso and inserted a USB led light which emits the light in his chest. A really nifty custom. The stealth mode also suits him as a night light when working in the dark. The led light is very powerful (as shown in the pictures) and should last a long time. The figure still remains poseable except for the upper and lower torso articulation which had to be removed to accomodate the led light. Hope you like him!

Custom: War Machine

Another one for the Ultimate Avengers movie diorama is this War Machine donned by Mr. Tony Stark. A simple repaint of the ML 9 War Machine. Basically just repainted the black area with gunmetal. Easy to do yet creates a very lovely effect. I included a shot of the unfinished diorama as well.

Custom: Black Panther

Another one for my diorama. I just repainted the ML 10 Black Panther. I wanted it to be more movie accurate but didn't want to ruin the already impressive details in the current ML Panther. Suit was drybrushed with a combination of copper, silver and black.

Custom: Ultimate Captain America

I'm on the process of creating my Ultimate Avengers diorama and so I needed the most important figure of the story, Captain America. I used an FO Cap Am. I started by cutting off the feather near the ears then replacing the left hand fingers since the one I had didn't have any. I used the hands from one of my extra Moon Knight. The rest was just repainting and adding details. I added a few drybrushing details here and there.

Custom: Doctor Doom

Had a ML2 Doom lying around so I decided to give it a brighter look against it's normal dark shade. I tried something new on the steel parts by coating it with both enamel and acrylics. At first enamel was really sticky and hard to hold but after covering the areas with acrylics, it became better and yielded a nice result. It produced a nice shade and texture that's quite different when painting it w/ pure acrylics. I also repainted the base with metallic brown and gunmetal. That's it for him pretty much.
