Hey thanks. JimJimmyJones: I made her with the DCD 13" base body, painted med. brown. Head is cast from a mold I made of the DCD Black Canary, with some sanding to change slightly. Wig came from a supplier I use in Japan (internet seller). Headress handmade, costume handsewn. Replaced the...

Just finished a 13" custom of Storm. Photos are with full flash in a dark room, so her face looks shiny from the flash. It's actually pretty matte when seen in person.

Hey thanks. It's a self-adhesive mirror finish gold vinyl from Papilio, available online.

Just finished these. Dr. Strange is a straightforward repaint of DCD's Aquaman head sculpt. Costume handsewn; cape lined with wire for posing. Mary Marvel's a new headsculpt -- sanded off Batgirl's mask ridges, then made a mold of that and re-cast in white plastic and painted. Outfit...

Finishing the Teen Titans in 13" format: Wondergirl: Shortened her legs to make her shorter than Robin and the others. Cut, then re-joined them mid-thigh and mid-calf with epoxy, then sanded to make smooth again. Still have poseable thigh cuts and knees. Added ball-jointed high-heel feet...

Hey thanks. Hawkman's one of my favourites too. Aqualad's boots were handsewn out of spandex; drew an outline around his feet for the soles, then stitched to the side panels. You can turn Lex Luthor or Green Lantern's boots inside out to see the pattern. For regular boots I try to...

Used Robin as a base, and an altered head provided by customer. Went with a 'sock' type boot similar to Aquaman -- figured full boots would be weird for an underwater character. https://flickr.com/photos/21242421@N04/ Dr. Fate's taking forever but should be done tomorrow. Had to enlarge the...

Just finished Earth 2 Huntress. Tried to do a separate mask but couldn't find the right materials. Dr. Fate's done except for the head sculpt, which is enlarging now. Used a New Frontier head, which is smaller than the Ross scale figures I used for the Hawks, so it needed two process of...

Did a basic body suit based on the 13" Superman. Spandex stretches and is very forgiving, so you don't have to have exact measurements. Then designed and printed out the emblem on T-shirt transfer paper (inkjet printer), using the transfers for dark t-shirts. Cut it out and ironed it onto the...

Hey, thanks everyone. These ones are for a private sale, but I'll do another RT and ebay him soon.

Just finished RT and Zatanna: https://flickr.com/photos/21242421@N04/ Zatanna: Power Girl base body, slight re-painting, straight black wig with bangs. Costume handstitched except for fishnets boots. Red Tornado: Lex Luthor base body, sanded and painted head, handsewn costume with...

Hey, thanks for the compliment. Much appreciated.

Finally have decent pics. Tried to stay faithful to current style, except for the w boot trim. Managed to attach a leather strap on the belt for the lasso, as per suggestions. Also used leather trim on the boots this time instead of vinyl strips...

Both hawks are now up for auction if anyone's interested: Hawkman: https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=130266740239 Hawkgirl: https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=130266746237 Thanks again for all...

Finished, but crappy pics -- digital camera is in getting repaired, and I'm away from home so had to try a disposable. Hawks go up on ebay end of next week/weekend, WW probably the week after. Better pics once I get the digital back. Dodson WW...

I didn't take any pics during the process -- took me a few tries to get it right. Learned from a picture and text tutorial on the megomuseum.com site: https://megomuseum.com/custom/headenlarging.shtml This guy is great, and did tutorials on shrinking and other stuff as well. The tutorial's...

Fantastic figure.

I like parts of the DCD bodies -- joints are less visible for shirtless heroes etc, but the new Otaku (sp?) base female bodies look good to me. Might try one of those next. Many thanks for the encouragement.

Got annoyed waiting for DCD Wonder Woman, so made a few. Used the Power Girl base; slight repainting of face, most of the costume from scratch. Wasn't sure about working with actual metal for the breastplate, but after a few weeks' practice it worked out. Started bashing together the...
