Vaughn Michael's Customs - Page 2

*Wes* · 02-18-2010, 07:00 AM

Looking good, Vaughn! But -- questions! Since I don't recall asking them before.

What did you use to make the wrapping on Stump Michaelangelo? Aaaand regarding the upcoming figures, what are you planning to use as bases for Renet and the Triceraton? Inquiring minds want to know! I was thinking that upcoming Hasbro ML Valkyrie would make a good Renet, but she's not due out until at least the fall.

Thanks Wes

It's thinly cut duct tapeactully lol but it works!

Rent is going to be Dc Universe Classics Power Girl Figure.
I was thinking of using the same idea you have there but recently realized how much Rents costume is a copy of Power Girls.

The Triceraton body base is going to be Dc Universe Build a figure Kilowog.
(which has cost me quite a bit to get, but i'm think it will be very much worth it in the end)

Warrior Dragon is going to be a Marvel Legends Fin Fang Foom build a figure.

And of course Gnatrat will be using a Dc Universe Classics body as a base.

I am also wanting to make Mike Dooney's Gizmo but can't think of a nice base for him yet.

These are really neato, are you actually going to sell these? You have a really cool gift with figures!

Hey thanks so much, some have been sold to people but I'm not against making more of the characters if people want to buy the base figure and pay what I'm asking and think it's worth it.

great work! i especially like the Leo figure, the paint job is outstanding! cant wait to see next customs!

Triglyph · 02-19-2010, 05:20 AM

The wrestler Leo is really cool man

*discordiatookie* · 02-19-2010, 03:06 PM

I've admired your work before, and I must say, seeing it all together in one thread (plus others i've never seen!) is really awsome. You rock.

*tOkKa* · 02-20-2010, 03:43 AM

-->> The "STUMP" Leo has quickly become my fave.

( Well not to take awau from the others .. - )
Not sure if it's the extra hard work put into the piece or what - - but it easily justifies the extra i am paying for one of the Raph's as these have become more than 'customs'..

but works of art.

*tOkKa* · 02-20-2010, 03:44 AM

-->> Tryin' to make a Gizmo for Dooney too- but he's tied up with the Zombies so i can only do so much at a time - -

Buffy · 02-20-2010, 05:30 AM

Those turtles look amazing, especially Leo.

raven6859 · 02-21-2010, 12:27 PM

These look absolutely amazing. I'm totally looking forward to a huge Triceraton!

Lionheart3239 · 02-26-2010, 09:36 AM

It takes talent and patience to do those customs. Great Stuff!

Vivi · 02-28-2010, 11:57 AM

It's work like this that makes the customs section one of my favorites. Very nice

thanks so much, and me also it's going to be so intense making it!
I'm basing it on the outfits we see them wearing in Mirage TMNT Volume 1 issue #06

thanks lion, thats why it takes me awhile to get them done some times as I just don't have the time or patience to do them.

Thanks Vivi, that means allot to me!

I hope you all like my newest custom figure! It's random I know but she sort of came to me suddenly.
It's Golani from TMNT Adventures #53 &#54

You can check her out on the first page.

Topsu · 03-03-2010, 07:47 AM

Like the look of Golani, altho I never was too fond of the character. Maybe if they've used her more...
But did you use wires or anything in the head, since sculpting something like without them...well, it may end up breaking and is also a bit harder job to do.

**Jester** · 03-03-2010, 10:54 AM

Awesome work VM. When i saw the thumbnail on MySpace I thought you re-worked the one of Drako's shadow ninjas

*Samhain* · 03-03-2010, 09:07 PM

Dude, great work. I might hit you up one of these days for a Neca styled Slash.

*Wes* · 03-03-2010, 10:52 PM

Maaan, I haven't even seen a Katma Tui in stores and you're using one for customs. Hatred.

But seriously, nifty custom! Can we have some action shots?

*Spitfire* · 03-03-2010, 11:40 PM

That's epic. I love you pulled off here strangely shaped head. The paint is great too.

*Powder* · 03-03-2010, 11:40 PM

Golani eh? Odd choice. She came out beautifully though. Kinda reminds me of the zora people from the Legend Of Zelda games.
