Bashing the wings onto the arms was a nightmare, and the primer I applied to the legs peeled right off, or was a sticky smudge. In the past, I would've quit. If it was a larger custom, I DEFINITELY would've quit, hahaha. After 25 years, this had to be the successful attempt! |

stunning! great job on that head and torso!! in a few pics he's a bit "hippy", but I think that is the nature of the base figure. i'd like to see him in a throne |

Wow two more great customs. That joker is fantastic. It's good seeing some more Dia-Naut love coming out, too. |

The torso I was sold on right away. I needed to be convinced about the head. And I was, once I removed half of it, hahaha. The wide hips are what they are; and they don't bother me enough for me the change them. Knowing myself, in an attempt to do even the slightest change, I'll f___ it up catastrophically. I've got a bad track record, especially with finished pieces I love. Definitely planning more photos with Joker. There were some set-ups that were a little too elaborate to do during the main shoot. It'll give me time to get something special together. Love the throne idea. Just might fit nicely with what I've got planned. MarkM wrote: Wow two more great customs. That joker is fantastic.

Man-Bat was long overdue and another one crossed off the bucket list of dream projects. Joker was inevitable, really. Just needed to figure out the recipe. For about a week after finishing Joker, I asked myself, "Who do I make from here?" I don't really see myself making too many Dianaut rogues... Planning another run of larger characters made from Mega Construx, and that'll wrap up the tour of Gotham for a little while. I DO have another Dianaut custom planned that I think will be a ton of fun, especially in a tiny scale. After that, who knows? I'm open to requests... |

Thank you, sir! For right now, I feel these are my definitive statement on these characters at this specific scale. Honestly kinda feel like trying to do better than these at the moment is a waste of time (until better fodder arrives). I've already moved onto my next Dianaut custom, and I'm psyched about the photoshoots this weekend. Being more honest, it's nice to have left Gotham for a quick 2-day trip to work on this new, little dude, but while Dremel-ing the Dianaut, I realized these projects have to be special ones. I really can't see myself switching scales to something this small. It's gotta be characters that scream to be made tiny. |

MarkM wrote: And here I'm wanting even tinier... For the collection, absolutely. The smallest plastic "figures" I own are 1:500 scale people used in architecture. Any smaller than that and they're usually etched in brass. I wonder how much smaller they could go with articulated figures. Under 1"? .75"? .5"? At a certain point, you'd have to use tweezers! For customizing, smaller than 1" and getting precision paint jobs makes my eyes water and my hands shake just thinking about it, hahaha. |
