The HD translations are wonderful. Flash is also amazing.

Back after a few months hiatus not counting the recent Redemption project (I can't believe that the last time I posted a custom was back in March). Anyhoo, here's a simple one, the Cobra MSV, a modern replica of a vintage classic. Enjoy!

These are all absolutely fantastic. Totally stealing the recipe for Flash at some point.

One question: Did you remove Shooter's forearms before cutting the elbows down?

I don't remove forearms before trimming. I'm a bit lazy, so I just go ahead and cut. I've paid for it a couple of times by slicing the forearm off, but I have gotten better with practice :-)

August 6th - Adventure People Clawtron and Space Commander

Clawtron was released on a card and not part of any set. It was a franken-figure made up of parts from previous figures and a new paint scheme. As far as I know, no back-story was provided for the character so kids could make up their own. I imagine that Clawtron is one of the blue-skinned alien henchmen, a cyborg allied with Brainoid, doing his nefarious deeds. The custom itself is pretty simple. Most of the parts were already black, so it was just a matter of painting some details.

Head: RoC Snake Eyes
Torso, hands: 25th BATS
Arms: RoC Neo Viper
Legs: RoC Barbecue

After making customs based on the Alpha Probe Astronaut and Brainoid, I started looking at other space based Adventure People for inspiration. The Space Commander jumped out as a cool retro space dude. The Marauder Task Force head oozes character. I picked the body parts with two criteria in mind. First, the original figure was a repaint of various diver figures, so I looked for parts that mimicked a tight-fitting body suit. Second, I wanted to avoid painting as much red as possible. Fortunately, the 25th Cobra Diver checks off both boxes.

Head: Marauder Task Force
Torso, arms, legs: 25th Cobra Diver
Collar: PoC Steel Brigade
Feet: 25th Cobra Commander

These are great. This is my favourite project of yours. You need the space alien guy in the Shark ship you did.

Thanks guys. I started these during Custom Celebration and just recently put the finishing touches on them. I have a couple more AP customs coming at the end of the week.

Yup, the figure is done, but I've been meaning to make the hose to connect it to the vehicle as well as make a few other tweaks. So many customs, so little time...

More great stuff, these both look great and are super fun updates of the old figures.

These are both so full of win, it's ridiculous! I still have my childhood clawtron, and this makes me think of sweet 70's Christmases.
