I've been away from customizing for a while but I wanted to finish up loose ends and move on. I have been working on this Jason part 6 on and off for several months. It was pretty much trial and error as I went but I figured out a pattern and got it down.

These are the original shots of what I had done at first. I just dirtied up the mask and weathered and dirtied the clothing.

 

[Morbach]

And this is the final version I did. I painted the mask with layers beyond layers and did several other things like sanding it and sorts to make it weathered. I mean the guy was burried for a long time so I really made the mask old and decayed looking.

 

[Morbach]

The next part was adding realistic wet blood to the bullet holes on his shirt.

 

[Morbach]

Okay, here's the latest customizing I've done. As a house warming gift my good buddy, Toast got me the Freddy Vs. Jason Jason figure by Sideshow. So I made it my goal to make him more accurate by painting the mask and weathering the clothes.

This is what he looked like fresh, factory made.

First step was re-painting the mask

2nd step, weather jacket

3rd step, weather pants

My 2 Jason's complete

A pic of the family

And I did a simple thing to my Dream Warriors Freddy by cutting open his sweater and showing off the chest of souls. I used fabric glue to keep it stuck to the sides of his body so you couldn't see any of his arm or neck joints

This next project was for my dad. He found a Val Kilmer Batman model kit assembled and painted silver...don't ask. Needless to say he asked me to repaint it for him. I didn't take a before pic but if you look from the waist down you'll see how I painted him black.

Totally done, sorry for the flash. Room was dark, kinda hard to take a pic but you get the gist.

 

[Morbach]

And last but not least was my The Dark Knight project that I am very proud of. It took 10 hours to make and I had 2 people helping me.

My inspiration for the wall was this poster

Step one, painting and assembling the bricks. I really built this up like a real brick wall and painted every brick along the way. Took almost 300 bricks to complete.

My girlfriend painting some bricks in this pic. You can see how it was assembled.

Here it is a little more complete

Here it is done but needs to be touched up with the paint

Now paint the Joker face

Next up was making a weathered "I believe in Harvey Dent" campaign poster and put it on the wall

Finished product
