Second crack at Hawkman in the 12" scale. Everything hand made on this one: helmet, wings, mace, boots and costume. Wings are bendable but only gently. He's up on Ebay if anyone's interested: https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130449452011

Custom order using DCD's 13" figure as base. Costume hand-sewn, sword outsourced from Monkey Depot, some facial re-painting, replaced DCD weird feet with heeled shoes.

To other customizers (or customers): If you charge a deposit on a custom order (I just started doing this after being burned twice), do you return it if the customer changes his mind/asks for unreasonable changes in the finished product? My instinct is to return the deposit... A new customer...

Just finished these. Raven's cloak has a wire through the hem for posing, new booted feet from BBI, handmade costume etc. I know Hawkeye's not DC, but he's there too. Just have to add the bow and arrows (they're back home at the moment) : * more pics at https://www.flickr.com/photos/21242421@N04/

Just finished these using DCD's 13" figure as base (with some molding and rebuilding). Cyclops' Xs are now decals, though shown as painted here in the pics (paint looked too messy).

Tried going with all-metal for this at first (red sections at least) but ended up using molded leather instead. Molding the leather takes a lot of time and patience (there's a whole process to it) but it gave a cleaner look while still looking solid enough to represent armour. Have to use real...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
