Custom House - Chameleon


Weird costume choices "bug" me too. The whole insect hybrid look for Chameleon annoyed me. And again, in my hands, a decent paint job. Under the Sony's lens... pretty crappy. How did I even get that blue paint on his knee and not notice it?


This was done a while ago. I'm guessing now, but I believe the body is Brainiac 5 and the head is an untouched Chameleon head. The cross-eyed look was brought to us by the original manufacturer.  

Custom House - Killer Frost


Let me get this on the record right now. I despised "the man's"  use of clear plastic for characters that weren't translucent or transparent. At some point before my death, I'll repaint everyone of these.
Killer Frost, three or four years ago this repaint was awesome. In the eyes of my Sony Digital Camera at 5 megs... it doesn't look so good.
My advice is to squint.

Custom House - Red Hood


First Post!
I've been thinking about having a place to "showcase" my customs. I've also been thinking about an ambitious modding project where I put out one custom per week based on a character that I read the week prior. The impetus tonight to get a site going is that I wanted to post comparison shots of the new Marvel Handful of Heroes alongside other miniature counterparts. However being a die hard DC fan, I couldn't let my first post be a Marvel post. So I dug up some old customs.
 
This is the ubiquitous Red Hood custom most of us have tried. The body is Black Mask. The cape is from a Robin. The helmet is the tip of a plastic paint brush.
