The Nightwatcher, nope. Started him last month. That's party due to finding the helmet within a few days of starting. The Casey, however, I started on when I first started making this scale. Think that was in '08 or so. I've had this body built for about a year, but couldn't find a head until the custom one popped up.

Don't have time to take pics of Raph right now, so here's the Karai upgrade I've been working on

NEW (Still need to paint the new torso and upper arms):

well, Ive finished 2 customs for the contest, and Im almost finished the third one, so i'll be posting pics soon.

btw, I don't think the subject has been addressed yet, so I was wondering if we are supposed to submit entries by PM or does posting pics in this thread count as a submission?

Body and arms - Copperhead (Has closer hands and fleshtone than Roadblock)
Legs - Final Battle Movie Storm Shadow (most non-military Joe legs out there)
Hands - Night Adder (Copperhead's hands are closer, but I don't have the paint to make it look good)
Head - Trigate Creations.

Speaking of, are there any image limits in size?

Now here's the April I'm working on.

It ain't perfect and it ain't the OT April (Still working on getting that one together). This one is loosely based on her jumpsuit from the 4th season of 2k3. Had to take liberties on the legs. The bun in the first pic is off center and to high. I've fixed that before the side view pic. Plan to take more liberties and make the strips yellow.

Blade Raider · 05-08-2010, 11:59 AM

Worked on Casey some more.

Not happy with the eyes. Think I'll paint them white again and retry the outline (maybe in gray). Might get rid of the black on the cheeks as well. I am happy with the grill, nose, and buckles.

***First of Two Latin Kings*** · 05-08-2010, 04:36 PM

No size limit on entries--only one image per entry though please. I will provide more specific guidelines when I have more time.

At this point the deadline has been extended to the last day of May. At that point I will either have everyone PM me their submissions, or I will create a separate thread for everyone to post their entries to since this one is becoming cluttered a few days prior to the deadline.

At this point I am probably going to have plenty of prizes for the winners (in addition to what other members have graciously donated).

Thanks again to everyone who has chosen to participate and/or donate resources for this contest. Several members have insisted they don't want prizes, but I'm thinking I might also look into throwing three gift certificates to myteefinestuff.com into the prize mix (nine winners will receive prizes, as there will be a first, second, and third prize winner for each category. My financial circumstances are sh!t right now with a capital "s" but I do still have lots of odds and ends that you folks who win will probably be interested in.

*Wes* · 05-08-2010, 05:52 PM

w00t, Cyber Shredder should actually be finished by then!

***First of Two Latin Kings*** · 05-12-2010, 07:41 PM

You may post as many pictures of your submissions to THIS thread as you would like (see above).

Here's a better picture of mine:

whiskeytango · 05-17-2010, 10:05 AM

Hey guys, this is actually my first post on the forums here, and I thought this would be the most appropriate avenue. I hope its not too late.

Heres a Leo I just got finished with:

heres one for scale, cause it seems like most toy collectors have at least one iteration of the Bullseye mold:

and just for fun, a WIP pic to show all the sculpting that was done to him:

Blade Raider · 05-17-2010, 10:09 AM

One post and aready wowing me. That is very well done man. Kudos and welcome to the board

Topsu · 05-17-2010, 10:51 AM

I love that custom, it actually makes parts of 2k3-line look good! Never been a big fan of those, but I'd like to have a turtle looking like that...

Blade Raider · 05-17-2010, 01:35 PM

So, today's the last day to enter a contest on another site I'm entering some of these in. That means I have nice new pics of Casey and Nightwatcher.

06 Nightwatcher (Raphael):

Finally, a Turtle! Still working to make a full body one, but this is as close as it gets without a custom torso (just got it in the mail!). I've thought about making him for some time, but didn't like the idea of making him without an alt head without the helmet on. Once I got the Tri-Gate head, I put this together in under a day. He's a bit taller than he should be. I'm just happy to have a Turtle.

Parts:
Head - Tri-Gate Creation
Helmet - Burnout
Head under Helmet, Legs - Neo Viper
Torso, Arms - Accelerator Duke
Hands - Resolute Trooper
"Shell" Backpack - Snake-Eyes ('09 5-pack)
Chains - Trigun Wolfwood

07 Casey Jones:

Now I'm happy with the eyes. Whiting them out and thining the lines around the eyes did the trick. He turned out very well considering how long I've worked on him.

Parts:
Head - Tri-Gate Creation
Torso, Arms - Copperhead
Legs - Battle Damaged ROC Storm Shadow
Hands - Night Adder
Bat - Darkwing Duck Gosalyn
Pipe - 2k3 April
Cycle - Indy (Not Moded)

And an extra fight scene for fun.

Next, back to April and then a full body Turtle (starting with Donatello),

Ulisses31 · 05-17-2010, 01:39 PM

I had no time... very busy... sorry, I will try to participate next one.

You still have a fortnight. I'm sure that's enough time to make something (unless you're Wes

)

*Wes* · 05-17-2010, 07:36 PM

Et tu, Blade Raider?

I highly dobut that WhiskeyTango made his custom specifically for this contest... That'd be like Patraw commin' through with one of his previously made gems. Jus sayin...

If someone made something for the contest,why would they put it on Ebay?seriously,that custom is on Ebay right now.I,also,doubt that he made the custom for the contest.Nonetheless,the custom is siick.(In a good way.)

Ulisses31 · 05-18-2010, 06:22 AM

The problem is that I have no "raw materials" at time... no figures or vehicles... I have tons of broken MOTU, but none TMNT.

My Turtle wagon can count?
