Dirty blonde?? www.comicvine.com/hydro-man/29-4457/all-images/108-218299/hy1/105-489325/?offset=8I did not sculpt on more water, actually I removed some of the Sandman "sand" with an exacto and fine filing. I had to cut the pegs on the body and Sandy's head then glued in place. SHIELD agents are my favorite figure and I will continue to make as many as I possibly can. I just got another agent and Fury in the mail and will be doing another head swap with a Duke the other version Sandman that I finally won. That will bring me to 13 head swaps, plus Fury, plus original agent...plus my 3 SHIELD Shocktroops. But who's counting?? (Oh, and Contessa and She Hulk!) Get bizzy with Maestro!! |

Thanks MikeEvil! You know you're gonna lose the whole "evil" persona if you keep handing out compilments though, right?
Don't know if Ill ever been on the same level as some of the other guys in here, but I sure do have fun trying.

You see, for each compliment I give out, I kill a litter of kittens. It's a dangerous balancing act. Besides that, your paint applications have really improved. I feel the paint really makes or breaks a custom. Anyways now I gotta go drown another bag of cats. Thanks. |

Great job on the latest set! I especially love Hydro Man. Fantastic use of Sandman. Wish I had thought of it. Been wanting to do him for a while. Keep up the good work.

Another great set of baddies. You should do a class photo of your rogues gallery. Not familiar with Gladiator but Spymaster is on my to do list. Hydro-Man is inspired. I’ve been avoiding that Sandman but might have to consider him later. I see a common colors on this set. Go Blue! How’s Chameleon coming? I’m working on one now…

Thanks Customizers!
Class Reunion pic huh? Not a bad idea...maybe this wknd.
Gladiator is an old timee Daredevil bad guy. He has a really cool chest emblem, but I just couldn't get it it right. Must have painted over it 3 times.
I finally found this decal kit that I need to try out for SHIELD logos and stuff. If it works out, I'll really branch out my character choices.
Chameleon got put on the back burner cause I figured everyone and their brother was gonna knock one out once that CH Destro figure came out.

Your work is truly inspirational even though Ihave no idea who any of them are. Gladiator would make for a good Big Boa (Cobra TRainer) base.
If you ever need parts please consider trading with me as I would love to do more business on here and parts trading in particualr.

Another tight one. I think we're gonna see that body on some others they way folks have been talking about needing a figure in a suit. Are you doing some Spidey baddies now too?

Yeah, I can see this figure getting a lot of use. Surprised we haven't seen any Chameleons yet. I was going to use it for Osborn, but decided to do Thunderbolts Osborn instead.
I mainly want to stick with Iron Man and Avengers related figures, but this idea popped in my head last night. I had tried to Sculpey a bigger head for HH once, and it turned out horribly. This one is more inline with current HH, that I saw in the Mr. Negative limited series. Mr. N might be on my list too.
Who are you working on nowadays yaya?

Good job on Hammerhead! Another one I'm planning to do. You are really churning them out. Wish I had the time to dedicate to customs  . Stupid work and endless family things and such. Grrr. But I digress, great job Floridaboy68! Nice smooth painting too. |

Chameleon and an all white "Stormtrooper" inspired Iron Man. When I saw the insert of the Repulsor Racer i liked the all white looking iron man hanging there (i know it's not white, probably silver mark II) so i went off that. Chameleon is 95% done but i have to paint eyes on an all white head and i hate that. I have limited time and especially with the holiday might be Dec before i finish and post pics.
Funny aside: i've been working with apoxie sculpt and i guess i touched my face too much while using it. My face got red and swelled up pretty bad. I had to go on steroids for a few days. The price we pay for SHS...
