Customs Sunstorm's Customs Thread

[Sunstorm]

Going to repost and keep all my customs in this thread regardless of toy line.

Not in chronological order, but I'll start with my first attempt at mold making and resin casting.
Not usually a 3P collector, but I loved Maniaking. However, he absolutely needed a translucent orange cannon barrel. The cannon came out perfect on the first try, but I didn't use enough release so I got just a little mold residue on the barrel in some of the crevices. Washed it with glow in the dark paint, and I couldn't be happier.

I'd been holding off on doing Pythona until I could find a Python Purple Boss Fight buck, but I simply couldn't find the legs anywhere, so I found a close paint match, and painted a pair of Luna Cave Fairy legs. Sealed the hell out of them, and while I try not to paint joint parts, I detailed the knees to camouflage the articulation and the paint came out hard as nails after the sealer was applied. Used g.i.t.d. pink for the eye shadow and spots, and blue for the eyes. The tentacle she holds in her hand glows and the Venom staff does as well. I have a pair of Pale Peach hands on the way. When they arrive, I'm going to tip her nails with g.i.t.d. green. Her cloak is from a Darth Maul, if I remember correctly.

This is a version of He-Man I call "Savage Cat He-Man". Being a 1/18 scale collector, I always loved the Four Horsemen inspired McDonald's Happy Meal series, so when I came across a few fodder pieces, I thought I'd finally do a He-Man of my own. Kept the Hercules buck's H-belt and chest piece, (just turned it around and added Metallic red accents and Maltese Cross to make the Techno-Vest). It matches the green theme from the Power Sword and Battle Cat, so I ran with it. Forearm guards and Gold H on the belt are done in glitter gold. Boots were sculpted with hot glue and his cod piece is just green felt.

I'm imagining this being powerful Grayskull technology which pours the wild "Green" energy, (think Moss man and Swamp thing), from Eternia itself into He-Man's weapons, armor, and companion, to give them a savage edge against all enemies who would threaten Eternia.

Here's my interpretation of Sun Man. Don't know if it was an intentional homage to Sun Man, but the LeBron Space Jam figure couldn't have been more perfect to customize. The wings are from a Black Adam Hawkman. I have decided to go ahead and get his actual weapon off eBay, but in the meantime, his weapon doubles as an arm cannon.

I used Folk Art Color Shift Green Flash for the battle skirt and shield, so they shimmer in the light.

Always wanted a 1:18 Superman Blue. Had a lot of fun making this one. Hopefully BossFight will do a Fire Red buck at some point in the near future so I can make Superman Red.
