Nelson's customs
 

Hello, people. After playing Smash-Up and actually enjoying it (blasphemy! :oops:) I dug up my Casey Jones figure from the TMNT movie and decided to make it look closer to the movie and game look. So after applying a little acrylic paint, I ended up with a more accurate version. Below is a comparison pic:

I never liked the TMNT April Figure. Aside from not being accurate to her movie look, it looked like a character from Spumko, with her enormous eyes and lips. So when I decided to give Casey a new look, I decided to accept the challenge of making a nice looking figure out of April. So I went out a bought her (yes, she was still there, warming the peg almost three years later)

I sanded down her eyebrows and lips, a repainted her. The result can be seen below:

Bossa nova!

I especially like April. That looks like it would be hard to do.

Thanks, man. I'm proud of both, but yeah, April was specially hard. I mean, I was about to loose it when painting the eyes. Madness!

Yeah, that's the part I was focusing on when I was thinking how hard it would be. I'm certain I couldn't do the same. Shell, I can't even paint a decent Foot logo to save my life!

If it's for a custom, it could be easier to print, cut and paste a foot logo.

Dude april looks so much better.. she looked like a colligen injected hollywood broad beforehand. Great work on casey too, after all his rough nights he shouldnt have looked so clean haha.

Thanks, Powder!

I completely agree.

Oh wow, these are great!

Nice work, your April's head is definitely an improvement. Personally, I like the cleaner look of the production model Casey, but your grittier looking version is good too.

Great job man, that April is awesome!

Hey man! Those things look marvelous!!!!
I like the new April better because her big eyes freaked me out.

Im lovin both of them, especially the Casey Jones. That black mask makes him look meaner.

Nice customs! Both Casey and April are great!

Those are great! Casey is an excellent match for the movie/game appearances, and April... ah, April. I don't think there's anything that'll make me like that figure, but you've probably made it look as good as humanly possible. :)

Wow... you've REALLY improved those figures quite a bit!

Thanks everyone for your comments!

I know what you mean. I tought the default Casey looked nice, as it was kind of a mixture of the best elements of the movie look. The armored body and the traditional white mask. I actually was debating coloring the mask, but did it anyway.

:lol:

both are cool,especially aril.

Thank you, rinascimento.

Those are sweet man. I love the added detail on CJ!
