Future Raph custom.

I like it a lot, you obviously went for Future Shark look with those katanas. Also great job on face, I didn't go that far, but you managed to do him closer to Archiestyle.

Right now big plans for future Mike and Don, just gotta win some loose ones on ebay to get started. Plus i figure jackey and coat sleeves are going to be tough on a NECA base.

Mike and Don? Nice, I have Mike, Don, Leo and Slash started, but you're certainly right about those sleeves. I think they'd need fabric coats and jackets, but I haven't had time to search/do those myself.

I was thinking of something plastic for the sleeves so I would be able to paint over them. I may have to do an 'arm swap' with some other figure that has sleeves, then a hand swap with the neca hands. The rest of the coat would probably be sculpted on. How is your Don coming along? I remember seeing really early pics. For his staff I was thinking ML Moon Knight's staff or DC Classics Deathstroke the Terminator's staff since they're segmented looking like his was.

**weeps at the beauty of this custom**

If those NECA Turtles had originally had headsculpts like this, I would've been all over them! This truly is a thing of beauty.

Did you sculpt over the original head, or transplant a head from another figure onto this body? The arms and legs look a bit different to me, too...

The Neca head was sculpted onto. i used milliput(highly recommend this stuff to you, works like apoxie yet easier to sculpt-found at hobbly lobby). I did indeed beef up the shoulders and arms with the same stuff. I had to dremel the shell back a little, which was fine because C. Allan always drew them with a slight curve around the neck and arms. Also, I have to say the NECA figures are my favorite of all my TMNT figures. They're more in scale with most of my other action figures and the detail and accuracy are top notch.

Oh, he's finished, except for the coat, since I plan doing it from some sort of fabric. I made his staff from cocktailstick which I sculpted a bit and painted metallic, I'll show it after I get camera again...
