Marvel Universe Thunderbolts Punisher

Two of my favorite comic characters currently are Flash Thompson Venom and Deadpool. They are both currently in a anti hero team called the Thunderbolts along side Red Hulk, Elekra and Punisher. I decided that I really wanted a Marvel Universe Thunderbolts team. Most of these characters have been released in the line but not in the right colors. Time for some repaints! First in line is Punisher. This is how the figure started out. This is by far my favorite Marvel Universe Punisher that has come out. I love the way that the skull looks and I did not want to change the shape of it even though it differs slightly from the Thunderbolts comic version.

 

This was a relatively basic repaint but I think that it turned out fantastic. I also decided that he needed better weapons than what he came with.

 

Figured that I would take a picture of my Thunderbolts so far, I only need a Flash Thompson Venom now.

Custom 1/18 scale crowbar

Project completed 11/2/13

I finished this a while a ago be never updated the post. This was finished using acrylic paints and then clear coated with a gloss finish. I did not want a weathered look but more of a brand new look for this piece.

 Project start 6/21/11

The other night I was thinking about what non traditional weapons I could make in 1/18 scale and a crowbar popped into my head so I decided to make one. This is the second one that I made, the first one is not worth posting.

Marvel Universe Venom touch up

It seems as of late that the quality control for more and more toys is non existent. I mean the prices keep going up but the quality goes down. You have to look through all the figures just to find one that isnt as bad as the rest with paint apps. Well sometimes you can not find what you are looking for in any stores so you have to order online and hope for the best. This venom figure was a total mess when I go it. I do not have any before pictures but I was able to clean it up alot with a fine paint brush and some patients.

The paint on the face was no where near any of the molded lines and the spider logo on the back and front had no legs, they where all blended together. I think that this turned out rather well for what I had to start with.

Marvel Universe Multiple Man

5/1/12 - Project completed

This was originally started as a commission but I took far too long getting it done so the original person who wanted it backed out so I will be keeping it for my collection. This was created using a Marvel Universe Multiple Man as a base. The pants where sculpted over the legs. The trench coat is a DC Universe Hush jacket and the arms are frin Rise of Cobra Destro.

8/17/11 - Progress report

I have finally had some time to start painting the prototype for this project that ended up being bigger than I thought it would be LOL. I primed them then threw on 2 coats of blue via airbush then I dry brushed a lighter blue and put a clear blue over the entire legs. I will be clear coating these but im not sure if it should be flat, dullcoat or gloss, I am leaning towards dullcoat or flat though. You can also see the sculpted X emblem on the belt too.

8/1/11 - The Project begins!

I was commissioned to give Multiple Man his signature trench coat and thought that it would be a pretty simple mod. Boy was I wrong! So far I have taken the original Marvel Universe figure popped all the seams, got new arms, the jacket, modded the hands so they will fit in the jacket. I thought it would be done with that and a fresh coat of paint.

The person that this is for Ashrok wanted him to have jeans. I first tried to find some legs that would look good on this figure but because he has the body of a high school anorexic chick I quickly found this to be very hard so I decided to sculpt jeans onto the existing legs.

Here is what I have so far




I still have some shaping, sanding and touch ups to do. I am also adding an off center xmen logo belt buckle. After this figure is done I am going to send it to him and if he approves I have 4 more to do that are exactly the same...... Can I cry now? LOL j/k ashrok!

Marvel Universe Ultimate's Nick Fury

So I picked up the Toys R Us exclusive Fury of combat set a while ago and HATED the jacket that came with Nick Fury so I started looking into a better jacket for him and thought that the ROC Paris Pursuit Snake Eyes jacket would suffice with some modding.

Everything is the stock figure except for the jacket and arms which are from the ROC Paris Pursuit Snake Eyes. I cut the hood off and reshaped the collar. I was going to cut the jacket strap off but actually like the look of it. I was also going to paint it but like the way it ended up looking in the stock color.

GI Joe Tollbooth sledge hammer

6/18/11 - Project Completed

I did the detail painting to give the hammer a weathered look tonight. I used 4 different shades of silver and a hint of black for the hammer head. I created a custom wash using brown and gold of all colors for the handle.... I may end up going back and touching it up some more. I will have to examine it more after the paint fully sets.




6/14/11 - Project Started 

I was recently commissioned by a forum member sbartek1974 to create an updated weapon for Toll Booth. I wanted to make it in 1/18 scale of a 20lb sledge hammer.

Here is the work in progress.
