THE CLUBHOUSE

This is the next piece in my commissioned X-men Marauders bust line. This one I didn't customize from an existing physical bust, but instead I composed it digitally myself, built a custom base in Meshmixer (learning this stuff was difficult, and I know I'm still whatever is lower than a novice at it...

Another commission from the Mauraders team. Today we have Scrambler! He began as a Neo (The Matrix) bust from Gentle Giant. The one I got was broken in several spots. The glasses were already cracked off, so that was a plus, but collars were broken and missing pieces as well. The hardest, well most ...

And yes, pastels don't stick well to gloss surfaces. A lot of times, I will brush on some matte varnish first.

I will totally try that next time, thank you!

Thank you very much!

These are the latest in the set of Marauders busts I've been creating. Today we have Vertigo and Harpoon. Vertigo is made from a Battlestar Galactica Six bust (red dress version.) I 3D printed her base and power effect. Her hair is all hand sculpted. She's airbrushed and hand painted. I added some p...

Thank you very much.

Jubilee PVC Custom from DST Gallery Squirrel-Girl I used recycled jewelry wire scraps, a blank wood plaque, fimo clay, and aves apoxie to make the cherry tree. The blossoms are rose quartz chips strung on pink jewelry wire. I tried out more dry brushing for textures on this one too. https://photos.a...

I have loved my DF busts line for years, but the Rogue one always irked me. So much so that I hadn't had her on display for quite some time. So, what's the point? Here comes my brain, and I thought why not customize her? What's the worst that could happen? Well, here we are, after years of working o...

I recently finished three custom busts, that will be part of a full X-men Marauders villain team set in the end. Arclight is a Battlestar Galactica: Kara "Starbuck" Thrace bust, with 3D printed crater base and rubble. Riptide is a Bowen Kazar Bust, minus Zabu, with a 3D printed base, and h...

OOo, I really want to do that now. Awesome job.

Are the stl files available for sale? My husband would love this and I have a 3d printer.

She came out wonderfully! I love the column too. I think it works tremendously well!

I have started off the new year by actually finishing 4 customs! Woot. I had a broken Wasp Bishoujo that was missing her wings, had a broken leg, her chest piece was pretty much falling off, and she was scratched and scuffed to high heaven. I got her very cheaply due to all of that. She became a Not...

I'm surprised you still had something to work with after the acetone incident. :D Yeah, the panic set in quickly and I rinsed and rinsed as speedily as I could. In my haste I also managed to break her arm off too. It was not a very happy evening. I really showed my noob-ness. I still can't find any...

Ok, here's my latest three customs. There's some new techniques, tools, and product trials here, all did not work out very well, and much of it was a learning experience, as always, for me. But here's the outcome for each: 1.) Jubilee in her Shiar/Blue and Gold uniform. She's made from a Women of th...

I got a pair of Hellboy Animated Busts and this one had to become a classic Jubilee. The base is reversible just like the Jessica Jones one I did too. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v190/unicornpegasus/Jubilee-Front_zpspvrbybdi.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v190/unicornpegasus/Jubilee-Pan...

My husband had to have major surgery again, and to help cheer him up during his recovery I have multiple custom Jessica Jones items planned. This is the first one, Netflix' version made from a Hellboy Liz Sherman bust. I have a Kate Corrigan bust for a classic Jubilee for myself as well. She should ...

Hello! I recently replaced my Shion bust by Kotobukiya/Shunya Yamashita. She had several flaws including a broken sword and busted pinky finger on her left hand. So, instead of junking the old one, I decided to turn her into Spiral from the X-men. I have to say, I'm really happy with how she turned ...

I just recently replaced my defective/damaged Bowen Retro Girl Statue for super cheap (it had a broken plaque border that was really jacked up, and fell apart when I moved her the other day.) Instead of discarding the old one, I figured I'd fix her up and repaint her in her original comic color sche...

These are my first customs from produced pieces (second and third customs overall if you don't count Funko Pops), but of course they'd both be Jubilees. One is from an SDCC Exclusive Dazzler bust (turned into Generation X Jubilee) and one is an Ultimate Jean Grey bust (turned into a pseudo-Phil Noto...

Not a bad job considering it was your first kit conversion/bashing. You said damaged in shipping but it looks like a lot of what you dealt with was more poor casting or someone else working on it. Poor castings make any kit a challenge. nice work with the boots and coat. Thanks! I know with practic...
