Well i finally get to post something in the finished customs forum
.
Here's my first custom or kitbash or whatever you want to call it. It took me a few weeks but i think taking my time really paid off. I got the suit, head, feet and hands from mikeoz...... thanks bro! I bought a Dr. Mego green body. Paints are by yours truly. The outfit was hand sewn by my lovely wife.
I used acrylic paints over a grey primer. Sealed with 3 coats of Mod Podge Gloss. I was going to go over the gloss sealer with matte to knock the shine off a little but when i did a test on the bottom of one of the feet, i thought it washed the color out too much so i decided to leave him glossy. I made the wrist and ankle pins from 1/8" styrene rods sanded down a little to fit snugly in the 7/64" holes i drilled through the wrists and ankles.
Here's the finished product. I am very proud of him
. I even got a couple pics of him hanging out with his monster buddies
