Menlojames Custom fun and repaints some new figures

[menlojames]

Hello Everyone!
I have been a fan for a while now of the amazing work you all do and enjoy movies and making figures from these movies. I am still working on Marv and wanted your feedback on if I should bloody him up or keep him clean. Thank you for checking this thread out and for the wealth of knowledge you have all shared with your customs. I am one that has always checked out your posts but rarely ever posted, I look forward to sharing more of my custom fun in the future.

Re: First time Post! Marv Sin City Custom

Very nice! What body is that? I loved the clothing and the cuts on the face are very well done. Can't wait to see more bro.

Thank you DarkArtist81,
I recently found these bodies at Walmart they are WWE Wrestlers Maximum Aggression Brand and I bought a couple and have painted them up to go with the Heads on a couple of customs. They are super articulate and great in height (Not super tall) for 1/6 muscular figures. Check out the comparison vs a hot toys muscular body in one of my other customs.

Wow, who woulda thought? Good thinking man!

I might need to get a little more creative when looking for bodies.

Nice call! I was looking for a huge Buff body to use for a Conan custom... actually.. the one in your avatar. And that body looks perfect. Looks like I can finally make it. Thanks for the tip bro.

My Custom Daniel Craig opening Seen Casino Royal

Hello, I finally finished painting up this awesome head sculpt. I wanted to make this figure based on Craig's character in the opening seen when he chases the bomber and blows up the embassy.

Re: My Custom Daniel Craig opening Seen Casino Royal

Looks great, but his hair looks a little peroxide blonde in the photos, is it that bright in real life?

Re: My Custom Daniel Craig opening Seen Casino Royal

Thanks Grangewallis, I used 3 different colors for the hair and tried to darken that light color you mentioned. I will work on it some more thanks for the feedback.

Re: My Custom Daniel Craig opening Seen Casino Royal

Re: My Custom Daniel Craig opening Seen Casino Royal

I just finished painting this head, I think it's a Hasbro Luke, I made the hair stick out by adding some 2 part epoxy. I will finish up the custom this weekend and was wondering if I should make the original Luke, X-wing Luke or some other luke, so many options, what do you think?
Thanks,
James

Re: My Custom Daniel Craig opening Seen Casino Royal

I've always liked that Luke sculpt. I think it looks closer to a Jedi Luke than anything. The hair looks a bit too yellow but the eyes and skin color look great.

Re: My Custom Daniel Craig opening Seen Casino Royal

Thanks Cocoboloboy,
I appreciate your feedback about the hair, I think I have an idea on how to take away the yellow color, Thanks!
