Slash custom
 
Hi,
New to the forum but hoping to spend a lot of time on here.

Thought i would start of by sharing the WIP of my first ever custom action figure, Slash. using Hulk movie abomination as a base and sculpting around that. Going for a bit of an amalgamation of Classic/IDW/Nickolodian in the style. Please feel free to let me know your thoughts.

Digging the Casey Jones mask as a knee pad! What sculpt are you using?

Off to a great start so far! You may be new to customizing toys, but this isn't your first time sculpting, is it?

I'm working on a Mondo and Wingnut right now too. I would love to see how yours turn out. Welcome to the forums:tcool:

A little *too* Raph 04-10-2014 03:59 PM
I admit, I groaned when I saw another thread about a slash custom. This thing is awesome though, I can't wait to see the finished product

Looks great. Abomination makes a pretty good base.

Thats just plasticine on him at the moment, I have two abomination figures, so i put a rough sculpt on one and will do the final on the other. there has been a slight change of plan with the casey jones mask but i wont spoil it

Looks amazing so far! Should be a great final product. Gotta say though, that shell isn't working for me. It doesn't quite look like a turtle. At first I thought it was a weird acorn/pinecone thing and I wondered what that had to do with Slash. Took me a second to work out what it was. Just my opinion though. Even still, it's a well-done sculpt. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Thats awesome. The casey mask is a nice clever touch.

No its fair enough. Its just a rough sculpt at the moment, i was trying to come up with a design that could easily have a split in it to keep the articulation. plus if i go with that design i think he will be to back heavy.

cheers for the feedback :)

Take a cue from NECA. Their shells were mostly hollow and attached at the upper back only so it allowed room for the ab crunch and waist articulation. I don't think an articulated shell would look too hot. Just me guessing though. Clearly youve got more skills than I do so you could probably work it out. Keep us posted though!

P.S. Are your customization skills for sale?

Yeah been looking at the construction of the classic collection as its much the same in regards to shell attachment.

I'm fairly sure my customization skills will be for sale but as this is my first attempt i want to see how her turns out. that being said i am already starting on my second (Rat king)

Dibbs on Slash. Haha!

Slash update.

Work got busy so i had to put him on the back burner for a bit but got some time yesterday and here is how he is shaping up. Took on board the comments with the shell and came up with something a bit more akin to the original Slash figure. tried to fashion finger articulation but not happy with the results but other than that happy so far.

using a mixture of Fimo and Milliput to construct him. all i can say is he is going to be a beast of a figure size wise.

as always comments/crit/thoughts more than welcome.

At first, just looking at the Rat King and not reading who it was, I thought it was Toxie. :P
