Custom Figure Mods & Repaints

I've been posting pics of my figures in other threads for a while now, figured I aught to get them organized into one thread. I also have a few new figures I've been working on that I want to share once I get the photos done. For now I'll just get all the older pics added to this thread. They won't be in order of completion, but at least they will all be in one place.
 
First up is my Deadpool custom figure. He was made using a Solo figure.

I look forward to seeing what you have got!

wow that Deadpool turned out great!
 
A re-based Ghostrider figure, otherwise no other custom work. Just used one of the thin parts of a clix base for his base. Then I used some tape to help create the painted lines.

Here is a bunch of figures I did all at once.

The Doc Ock figure was wearing a black suit but I thought he would look better in green. The Warmachine figure is a Handful of Heroes figure, as is the gold Iron Man suit. I used a Iron Monger figure to make the Hulkbuster suit, and then that large green robot I am using as my Green Construct Mech figure. When I started on that I did not realize the actual figure used was much bigger and double based. I don't remember the figure name, it was just something I found by skimming through the Mechwarrior minis line. The last one is my stealth suit Iron Man repaint, I wasn't paying close enough attention when doing that one either and ended up painting up the wrong figure based on what is used from the C3G card.
 
Here is my Gorilla City Warriors custom figures. They were some figures from the Horrorclix line, listed as Lab Gorilla. As you can see they have a few alternate sculpts of the same figure.

Here is what they looked like compared to a real Gorilla City Warrior figure before custom work began.

After I removed the cages and some of the other add ons.

Final product after a paint job.

Here are my Hired Guns repaints. I only did a custom paint job on 3 of the 4 of the, the one in blue is how they come from Heroclix. I have been thinking about going back and giving that blue one a paint job too though as he does not look at good as the others.

Nice job on all these. Great idea for the Hulkbuster. Definitely much cheaper than the actual fig.
 
Another group of figures I did all at once.

IMG_1582_zps58920e84.jpg


The Red Hulk and Magneto are both Handful of Hero figures. You might recognize the blue wrymling figure that I use for my Lockheed mini. Just shaved off the horns and spikes, then cut out a section of it's wings too before repainting it. The last one is my Kilowog custom figure. I followed the plan posted on Boardgame geek here. It is just a Mammoth figure with a Warhammer Ork head shaved down a bit. I know a more affordable Kilowog figure in now available from the latest Green Lantern Heroclix line, but it was still a fun project.
 
And a second group of figures I did at the same time as the group above.

IMG_1586_zps34f8e73a.jpg


Mandarin was another Handful of Heroes figure. Mr. Zsasz was done using the figure suggested in his book. I just wish I would have made his kill count markings in red instead of black. I realized after I had already started putting them down in black that red would have been much better since they are scars after all. The figure on the far right is a Boon figure from the Indy Heroclix line. I intend to use him as both my Ubu and custom Master Win Chiu Wu figure so it was a 2 for 1 deal, C3G & Classic. The figure on the far left was just a Reapers Miniature I have had for a while and had started painting but needed to finish. I would like to make him a classic Heroscape card some day. He will be my dragon slayer.

What did you do to mod the head?

I just carefully shaved his head with my hobby knife to remove the hair. It has been a while now since I did that guy but I don't think I did any other custom work on him other then the shave and paint job. A freind of mine made himself one too and rotated the left arm up 90 degrees so that the gun is pointing out at you. It turned out great.

Did you heat up your gorilla to change his arm position, or cut and reglue?

I've got a Spawn figure I just finished up that I think you are going to like Chief. I'm really happy with how it turned out.

I don't recall going anything to any of the gorilla arms other then cutting away the cage door they were holding. I went back and looked at the pics and I can see why you asked the question. When I did those guys I actually did 6 of them all at once (3 white and 3 black ones to start with) but only took pictures of 2 (1 white & 1 black) each time. So the ones in the first pic may not be the same figures as the ones in the second pic, or the 3rd one. That is why their arms are in slightly different positions, different minis.

Ah, well what did your technique did your friend use to bend Deadpools arm then?
 
With that Solo figure (and you will find this true of many clix minis), the left arm is a separate plastic piece from the body and it can be popped out. You can usually tell when two the figure is made up of more that one piece because you will see a slight seam line. Look really close at my Deadpool pic and you will see a seam where the arm meets the shoulder. They are joined together by a square peg on the arm and a square hole on the shoulder, so you can turn it 90 degrees and the square peg will go right back into it's hole. Or if you want the arm to rotate up at say a 45 degree angle, just shave off the square peg and glue it into place.

I noticed sometimes the pegs are not square but trapezoid shaped. In these cases the shave and a haircut trick works yep.
