Warlock664's DCD 13" Wildcat, GA Wonder Woman, Hawkman & Hawkgirl, & Red Tornado

[warlock664]

I've been working on a number of DC Direct 13" customs over the last few months, and have managed to (mostly) complete five: Wildcat, Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Golden Age/Earth-2 Wonder Woman, and Red Tornado.

First up is Wildcat; I've actually had him almost completed for a year, but was unhappy with my early attempts at his mask. I recently gave it another go, and am satisfied (for now) with the results. The costume was fairly simple:

Next, Hawkman and Hawkgirl. Hawkman was a bit of a challenge, thanks to the mask. I had previously completed an Earth-2 Hawkman, so I knew the costume and wings could be done, but the mask required some thought. I finally came up with a recipe that worked: a DCD Classic Batman head with the bat ears carved off, the wings from a Famous Covers Thor helmet, the ears from a DCD Martian Manhunter, and a hawk beak made using sculpy. I glued everything on and repainted to get the final result. The wings were made using the same formula I had previously used for Red Raven and the E2 Hawkman.
For Hawkgirl, I used a DCD Batgirl as a base, and made the helmet from vinyl. Not completely happy with the results, but it'll do. I still need to make a mace for Hawkman, and perhaps get a couple of shields for the pair:

I needed a Golden Age/Earth-2 Wonder Woman for my Justice Society, so I modified a DCD Wonder Woman. I first substituted the smaller-breasted Zatanna body to distinguish her from the E1 Wonder Woman, keeping the existing DCD Wonder Woman head (which has been much maligned by collectors). I used the existing costume but removed the "WW" logo, adding a golden eagle in its place. I painted the belt white, added a hand-made skirt, and gave her new bracelets painted a metallic blue and a new lasso (I used the original for Wonder Girl).









Here's a shot of my Earth-2 versions of the big 3 :

Finally, I used a DCD Dr Manhattan figure to produce the android Red Tornado (hey, don't worry, I may get to Ma Hunkle eventually!). The boots are repainted Shazam/Captain Marvel boots, the glove gauntlets are repainted Modern Batman gauntlets, and the rest is hand-made:










As always, thanks for looking. For anyone interested, here are links to my previous DCD customs:

I absolutely love this line of figures you've created and you are definitely one of the best customizers here regardless of scale. Consider me a fan. Now, I want to see you tackle 1/9 scale. I bet you kill it, dude. Awesome work.

[jackson5677]

I agree with Random Axe.....you are one of the best here........Wildcat is KILLER.

These figures are simply stunning. I'm really impressed with your customizing abilities. Very well done!

[megojim]

More than commendable! nice job on the set!

[sprytel]

That Wildcat is amazing. Seeing that first, I thought, "going to be hard to top that one." But I dunno... they all look pretty darn great. Nice job!

[madmarva]

More beautiful work. That Wildcat looks like he stepped right off the page.

Great work as always! Would love to see how you display all of your work together in their various groupings.
