I'm going to be offering up a big ol' can of FAIL on this one, I just know it...

What should I be using to simulate vinyl on a 1/6 figure? Actual vinyl is too thick, and the stuff I've tried using to simulate it, just looks like shiny wrapping paper...

The good news is, I finally made progress on my other projects. I'll post pics in my thread o' failure as soon as I get a decent shot...

Is it a jumpsuit you are trying to go for? If so... I might know of an Ebay seller that makes and sells AWESOME leather jumpsuits... shiny or flat.

And don't worry if it's not the best work you have ever done, it won't matter. Any attempt is an attempt worth showing and talking about. This hobby is all about growth, and it takes a lot of time and patience to get it close to what you want.

Besides, you know we will love it regardless of what it looks like.

Great teasers... I've really slipped off lately on making stuff. But I have one figure mostly done, and a second that I'll have to kick into high gear to get completed.

But for now, still in the game

AWESOME Joe! I'm amped up to see anything you will do. You are my favorite new customizer... I just love everything you have cooked up, it's all classic and retro at the same time... I'm sure whatever it is will rule.

Hard to live up to the Jokerfish and Mumm-ra though.

But I know you, it won't disappoint.

It is indeed... Looking for the shiny variety.

Here ya go bro... kinda pricey... but WELL worth it. I bought a flat black one for an upcoming Caped Crusader custom... it's very well made and fits like a glove on a HT or Dragon body very nicely.

[Kabukiman]

That is exactly what I'm looking for, thanks! The price though...

I'm actually going to need two cat suits...

 

[Moonloop]

Am I allowed to guess what it is?

 

[Les Walker]

That costume thing from the movie THE VILLAGE?

 

[Moonloop]

I guess that means I can .

Looks like the Scarecrow maybe.........

 

[DarkArtist81]

Guesses are fine... I cannot confirm nor deny... but it was a long awaited custom for me to make and I had a blast with it last night.

I'm really pumped up though, I cannot wait to see all the cool figures and show off my work.

 

[Buttmunch]

Thats what I thought too, but the second pic makes me think otherwise.

And anyone is welcome to guess on mine. I'm sure #1 is fairly obvious, #2 pretty easy, and #3 practically unguessable.

I do have a question though, are we going to let any of these be available for others? The heads at least? I think at least one of my mine might be a highly useful head for multiple customs.

Teaser:

 

[Buttmunch]

Ooooo! I like. Doesn't take a genius to figure out what that is! If its based on what I think it is based on, then I'm not the only one

 

[DarkArtist81]

Syn, that looks badass!! And BM, I know who the first two are for sure... but that last one is pretty hard to figure out.

I think my first one is stumping people as well... Which is good, because I think it will be the most interesting.

I'm now done with Figure 2 and I am very very proud of what I did. I cannot WAIT to show you guys. Figure 1 is almost done too and I think it is one of the best I have ever done, and a very very original (modern) take on a famous character. I'm excited to see where it goes and what the reaction is.

 

[Buttmunch]

Yeah, I doubt anyone can guess that last figure based on what I have shown. The other pic I took of it would give it away.

I really love the lighting you have been doing lately with your shots. Very dark and scary... Looks insanely good. And I love that decrepit building diorama.

 

[Buttmunch]

Thanks! I did mess with the contrast in Teasers #2 and #3 though to hide figure #2's face and to make #3 a bit darker.

That backdrop is from an old Lego Movies Studio set I had as a kid. The backdrops are great though. The other is the night city I've used for some other Joker pics.

Glad you like them though. I've always had a thing for dark, scary photos.

 

[Rogue Trooper]

Since im enjoying the 1st figure ive almost completed, im going to bash another figure with spare parts from my 1st bash.

Its going to be bat themed from the only batman comic ive read the dark night returns. Going to try and make it really gritty and dark.

The more figures the better.

Oh man... I can't WAIT. Lots of awesome characters in that story, I am sure it will rule.

Being on such a Batman kick as of late, this challenge was very well selected. I love that we got to do this, I really can't stop looking at my 2 figs...

The 20th is going to be amazing... we will all be amped up from The Dark Knight, only to revel in this Batman goodness...

 

[Les Walker]

Agreed! Lots coming! Thanks guys! I was worried we wouldn't have a decent turnout, now my figs look lame in comparison! Might have to amp up to keep up with you guys. And with Syn out there cranking out his hits, might have to burn some midnight oil to just keep up! Looks great bros!

MORE! Let's see more!
