Kitbashed 1/6 Green Lantern

[Cocoboloboy]

This is a WIP but I couldn't be happier with how it's looking. The new Sideshow comic book Batman body is perfect for these customs.

So far this is the simple recipe:

DCD 13" GL suit and sculpt
SSC Batman body boots and hands

The plan is to sand the boot soles smooth and paint them and the hands white. I've also got a custom GL sculpt coming from eBay but am digging the DCD sculpt right now.




UPDATE:
The nearly finished figure.

Very nice, did you tailor the dc direct suit to fit....

 

[EVILFACE]

Not bad.

No mods at all to the suit. It bunches in the forearm and at the ankles but that is completely hidden.

Looks great, I just wish the green was the same material as the batsuit and not to shiny and bright

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Got the boots and fists painted today. Still have to put a clear coat on the hands and I'll probably do a few tweaks here and there but essentially he's finished.

Wow! The sideshow heads are the same scale as the Dc Direct heads. That explains a lot. Good looking custom, though.

Edit: just saw the finished product. Looks great and natural. almost doesn't look like a custom.

Incredible work! It has me looking for some DCD suits now...

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Thanks guys! I'm really happy with how he turned out. I would have preferred a more classic green for the suit and boots rather than the shiny green but it works for now.

Thank you, Gor!

Regular ol' Folk Art acrylic paint from Hobby Lobby. Straight white for the gloves and a metallic green mixed with a little black for the boots.

Yes, adheres really well to flexible surfaces. I've even painted faux leather jackets for customs before and it moves and bends like it's part of it.
