Customs by Topsu (Archie mostly)
 

Thought I'd start one thread for these too, altho my projects are reaaaalllly slow... can't just find time for them. Anyways, I thought I'd post pics of those you've already seen: Future Raph, Armaggon, Verminator (who needs a little work atm...new photos comin) WIP Don too

Also, tryin to get pictures of my WIPs next weekend (future TMNT/Slash) + my custom made TCRI-cap I wear in summer.

Oh, and these days my Raph has proper hands and sais in them too :)

:teek: wow great costumes :) :tcool:

i'd like to see some up closes shots of the bandana-less turtle

That's my future Don, tryin to get pics this weekend...All he's missing now is his coat, haven't got that far yet...

I'm still looking for a jacket for my future Mike, so he's kind of on hold for now. I'm glad to see you're still working on yours Topsu!

I think I'll just sculpt permanent jackets for mikey & leo, but I'm definitely doing something else for don...

any update pics? Especially some close ups of Don?

Here's some updates on those WIPs I'm working on right now:

(plastron went off when I took off his belt)

Here are all the customs I'm working on right now (except verminator, who'd need his beltbuckle back), and as you can see, they still need quite a lot work. Dunno when I'll continue these, but I'm doing them little by little...

If you want bigger pics, just go to:WIP Customs
and click pics to get them bigger.

Slash is looking good :)

Wow -- I'd never seen how those figures look without the plastron. Interesting! One could probably make a cool custom of one of the clothed Turtle versions out of something like that. :)

Those WIPs are looking fantastic, Topsu. :D

WOW!!! Great customs! The Verminator figure is the best :tthumbsu:
I'm anxious to see all of the future turtle :twink:
By the way, what material did you use for Slash's claws? And aren't they frail?

I took some spikes from ordinary plastic haircomb and added magic sculp over them and no, they're not frail at all :)

any new pictures or updates to share? I love the progress you've made so far.

All I've done after those, are gun for Verminator and sword for Slash, and unfortunately I don't have a camera at the moment. I'll put up pictures after I'll do some real progress on these, might take a while tho, since I'm a bit busy with other things right now...

Hey, I've almost finished my future Leo, but now I have a problem. I need to put belts on his back, shaped like an X and put swords in them. But extra Neca TMNT belts I have, seem to be too short. I know some of you other customers have used rubberbands, and I think I need to try those. But if you have other ideas, please let me know. :)

Also, I thought you'd like to know what was used for these customs, so here's the list:

Raphael: Neca Mikey, Neca Raph hands and sai, sculpting
Armaggon: Street Sharks Big Slammu, LOTS of sculpting
Verminator X: Marvel Legends Moon Knight, sculpting

I think I'll get Leo finished by weekend, so expect photos then :)

My Leonardo is now finished, here's the pics:

Used Neca Leonardo, sculpted the jacket, used rubberbands for belts and superglued that emblem into them. Belts are removable, as I really like him without them too :)

Hope you like him, I certainly do.

Once future Mike & Don's finished, are ya gonna give us a snap of all 4 of them?

Dude, that Leo is awesome! Are the jacket sleeves all sculpted, and does that mess with pose-ability? That Splinter belt buckle looks perfect.

Definitely :)

Yep, all sculpted. Doesn't affect in pose-ability, I wouldn't have wanted that. That beltbuckle was quite hard to get right, but yep, it looks good :)

DUDE! Im looking forward to seeing that Slash! Looks good so far.
