Custom Shredder

A little *too* Raph · 04-05-2008, 11:30 PM

Ok everyone, I have decided to make my first custom figure. I'll probably be asking the people that have done this stuff before for some help along the way, and I figured I'd start a thread so if anyone is interested they can see the progress.

Heres the happy little guy that's going to get customized... it's a noob saibot figure

Here is my proof of concept for the armor using some sculpy

The first stages of paint!

Thats as far as I've gotten. Like I said, I am a total newb at this, so any comments or suggestions (good or bad) are welcome. I'll update this whenever I get more done

Cool man, cant wait to see how it turns out, I been thinkin bout making Shred, from an Marvel Legend, but that Noob, or maybe a Sub Zero may work.
Far as help all I can suggest is Jin Saetoms(sp?) Dangerous Toys, its an awsome website, and has great tuts. ( not sure if linkings aloud but googling it should work).

Awesome! Looking forward to see him in some hard ass armor

Yeah I was looking at some marvel legends figures too, but the mortal combat figs seem to be a great fit because they are already somewhat ninja-fied

Noob Saibot is a pretty good choice for a base body, as all you really need to do is add the blades and helmet top. However, that said, I think the armored Sub-Zero figure might have been a better choice, if you have access to one, as he looks a LOT like Shredder to begin with, right down to the helmet (seriously, when I first saw Sub-Zero's new outfit for MK Deception, I immediately thought Shredder--Laird could sue

)

I know what you mean. But I cant find a sub zero anywhere, and I dont feel like paying 40 bucks for one on a specialty toy site. Oh well, just gives me more room to be creative I guess

Heh think im gonna cheat a bit, and use the helmet, blades, and shoulderpads from the new movie shredder, as I have no sculpting skill what so ever.
