Customs by Topsu (Archie mostly)

Topsu · 01-12-2010, 09:15 AM

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

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...

Lordmylar06 · 01-13-2010, 01:34 PM

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...

Ninja_Shoe_Repair · 01-17-2010, 02:34 AM

any update pics? Especially some close ups of Don?

Topsu · 01-17-2010, 09:08 AM

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

Slash:

Future Don:

Future Mikey:

Future Leo:

(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.

Ulisses31 · 01-17-2010, 09:25 AM

Slash is looking good

*Wes* · 01-18-2010, 08:55 AM

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.

MAXtDie · 02-07-2010, 02:27 AM

WOW!!! Great customs! The Verminator figure is the best

I'm anxious to see all of the future turtle

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

Ninja_Shoe_Repair · 02-08-2010, 03:41 AM

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

Topsu · 02-08-2010, 04:12 AM

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...

Topsu · 02-22-2010, 04:12 AM

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

Topsu · 02-27-2010, 05:13 AM

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.

*Ninjinister* · 02-27-2010, 06:34 AM

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

Lordmylar06 · 02-27-2010, 09:44 AM

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

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

*Samhain* · 02-28-2010, 12:19 PM

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