As I said elsewhere, just a superb effort my friend. Really
enjoyed the heck out of every figure and Bouncing Boy is just
genius.

I was going to trickle these out as a series like before, but
tonight I changed my mind-
First up is just a quick shot of Dream Girl and Bulleteer
finally finished off. I pulled out the Green Stuff and
resculpted DG's hair and used a hot glue gun to make Bulleteer's
goggles. Pretty sure I used up a whole gluestick getting it
close to where I'll be happy enough with it.

First up, I've got a revamp of my "Earth-2 Superman" where I
lightened the blue and softened his muscle definition. Not
quite the JSA Superman, but better than the grey haired quick
version I had before.

Staying in the GA, I reworked my Robert Crane Robotman, toning
down the chrome and adding the sculpted neck-piece and butt
plate. I also worked on the face a bit to make it more
different from the Cliff base.

Switching up slightly from the GA to the MA, I continued my
re-dos with a corrected Citizen Steel. I originally used a
Commander Steel base and carried that through, replacing the
angry face with a trimmed up Hal Jordan and used slightly darker
colors mixed with metallic aluminium. As with Robotman, he got
a gloss clearcoat.

Here I've decided to replace my DCD Soranik Natu with my own
built from a Dove body with a GA Cheetah head and a PG fist.
The hair is my work with the GS again. Anyone want the DCD
version?

And since we're going talking about replacing figures that just
don't fit right with the collection, I decided to use on of the
multiple Power Girls in my area to replace my original Starfire.
I kept the head, forearms and collar and added the boots and
armband. The yellow buckle is also from PG.

Following Kory is one of her early foes from the days when Perez
was firmly in the "screw with the follow-up artist" mindset- The
Disruptor! He started off as an Hourman with a Commander steel
head. Not only does he have tons of fiddly little details, the
fucker is red and YELLOW! If that doesn't make you evil,
nothing will.

But he's been temporarily replaced in villainy lore by the
scantily clad Angelica Smith aka, Disruptor of the Terror
Titans! She started off as a PG buck with a Dove head and
Cyborg's arms from the elbow down. The cords are styrene rods
that were more flexable than I was expecting.

Lastly, I'm going to add to the ranks of villainy with another
young lady- member of the Terror Titans and Bat-villain- the
murderous pixie Enigma! She's the product of leftover parts- a
GA Cheetah body, PG head with sculpted hair and PotC Angelica's
right hand. She's also sporting the cane from the W5 Riddler.

Last we've got a group shot of the 'wave', minus Natu because I
forgot to pull her back down and I'm just too tired to take
another picture. Next up... well, is pretty much nothing until
I get a wheelchair to complete my Chief. I've pretty much
exhausted all my on-hand fodder, but will get more when I can.
I still have a few OMACs, Mercurys and PGs nearby.

P.S.- I cropped all the pics and used the new links, so I'm not
sure why they aren't posting right. I'll try and fix it
tomorrow.

Holy cow Hype. You've caught the fever for sure. Love that
female Disrupter. Might steal that from you.

At least there's a use for a spare Cyborg. ;D

Great work on those!

Thanks Stars. I used to paint gaming minis a lot and started
using the drybrushing technique there. There's a time when it
just helps make a figure 'pop'.

Here's some new stuff before I pack my custom-making gear away
for awhile.
Shadow Thief-

ST is made from a Mercury with the chest piece removed and
repainted.

Karmang is from the oversized comic Superman vs Shazam. He's
the first appearance of a White Martian and was made from a
GC5Pack Luthor and an Hourman cape.
The Chief

MM Harvey Dent with a Doc head. The blanket is a clay rendition
of Rita's original green costume and the pillow he's sitting
against is made from scraps of Doom Patrol costumes.
Connor Hawke

Finally got around to making him. Red Arrow base, sculpy gear
and a homemade bow.
Harry the Pillow

Totally sculpy. Why? Why the fuck not?
