Morbo's customs and repaints

[Morbo]

I thought I would start to share some of my custom figures.
not the best in the world, but I hope you enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed making them.

To start with, here is Jason Statham as Frank Martin aka The Transporter.

dutch repaint

those look great man.
You repainted those right ?!. They look awesome.

 

[Morbo]

Thanks Hicks, yeah, I repainted them both.

I'm starting to learn how to gradually build up the skin tone in layers instead of just doing one colour. Dutch took about five coats to get a good skin tone, then some dry brushing to add a slightly pinker tone to his cheeks, and a very thin wash of black and brown for the stubble.
the factory paint on the loading toys head was almost yellow in colour, I couldn't stand it!

great repaints.

Great job, have you ever tried using dry pastels? I haven't done any painting in awhile but when I was I did have good results with pastels.

There was a tutorial on it I had found and I will post the link if I can find it again.

The dead tactical containment operator repaint work in progress.

With the Thriller Michael Jackson figure coming I decided to repaint the greenie meanie..
more blood and shading to be added in the mouth, (I'm leaving the tongue out by the way), and a gloss coat.
I have a suit I can shred and make bloody, so that next after I finish the painting.
Hope you guys like him do far....

Wolverine.

it's the marvel studios head, repainted on a TT body. The claws are from the same figure, and I carved out the knuckles on the hands and glued them on. they didn't work as well as I hoped for though.

Commando playing on my Ipod!

man, great job. Really. Very talented.

 

[Morbo]

thanks Morbach. I've only just started to get into painting. I only have three brushes and no green or blue paints. I really need to get some more supplies.

 

[Morbo]

I've finished painting now, and I'm surprisingly pleased with how it's turned out. Phew!
