Neca-Style Shredder

*Discogod* · 07-04-2011, 11:03 AM

'Sup guys, I'm working on a Neca-style Mirage Shredder right now and thought I'd post my original version in the meantime.

It's actually pretty hard for me to look at this now, it was made nearly 3 years ago and doesn't look great. Anywhoo, some of you might get a kick out of it...

He's a Marvel Legends Yellowjacket with a Doc Strange torso. The head's a plasticard/apoxie combo and the armour is plasticard with an apoxie skin, and the blades set in.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 07-04-2011, 02:07 PM

If that's what you did three years ago, and you're unhappy with it now, I can't wait to see what you're working on now...I think it's pretty bad@$$!

Looks awesome. Did you make that rooftop piece?

Lordmylar06 · 07-04-2011, 08:56 PM

I saw this on deviantart a while back. I remember thinking that it was the closest thing to the Neca Shredder I've seen customized. If you're working on another I can't wait to see it.

*Wes* · 07-08-2011, 05:08 PM

Oh so modest, DG! I still think that Shredder is pretty awesome -- and I remain incredibly impressed with the work you put into the blades. I had enough trouble with the gauntlets on mine, and that only involved minor sculpting and glueing down some toothpicks.

I demand to see new Shredder WIP pics NOW!

scary

looks like the sideshow shredder (who looks like we know who) congrats I'd sure love to have that skillz and make that one , I'll be satisfied !

*Bauer536* · 07-08-2011, 06:46 PM

Fantastic! Now make some more so we can sell these things!

*Discogod* · 07-09-2011, 05:38 AM

Because you demanded it... Shredder WIP!

From the waist down it's going to use the same parts as my previous version (except the feet), but I wanted the upper body to be bigger and more imposing. All the sculpting's done, now it's just a matter of assembling the armour, and painting. I'm hoping to have him done this weekend...

*Bauer536* · 07-09-2011, 10:34 AM

Wow, Discogod. I was only joking.

But, what the hey. I'd buy this on ebay since the second NECA line was cancelled. Keep up the good work.

Patraw · 07-11-2011, 10:28 AM

Looks pretty sweet so far, and your older version of the character is nothing to sneeze at either. Looking forward to seeing the final result!

*Discogod* · 07-11-2011, 10:33 AM

I've just finished painting, then it's just sealing and assembly. I should have pics for you guys tomorrow...

Iroh · 07-11-2011, 12:39 PM

That is some nice work. I wish I had the talent to do things like that. The only custom I have done was making Michaelangelo a custom nunchaku.
I used a paper clip and the original handles that was once the weapon. I drilled holes where the rubber was placed and I superglued the paper clip between each handle. It is much more durable than the other nunchaku now.

awesome! can't wait

*Discogod* · 07-12-2011, 09:03 AM

As promised, here's the pics! I'm still not 100% happy, but I accomplished what I set out to do - a better, bigger, badder Shredder.

Recipe is as follows:

Head is LCBH Madman, torso is SOTA Vega, legs are ML Captain Marvel, feet are ML She-Hulk with ankle joints from LCBH Witchblade, hands are DCUC Red Tornado, arms are from 2 Toybiz TNA wrestlers, sash is from ML Elektra. Armour is plasticard & apoxie.

The only parts with no mods are the biceps. The shoulder armour is mounted onto 2 rods that run through the shoulder (lost a little movement, but it looks better than mounting them onto the torso). Luckily, when I made my last Shredder I made a set of blades that were too big - I kept those and was able to use them for this custom, which saved me a sh*tload of time.

So yeah. Enjoy...

Awesome looking custom shredder

Topsu · 07-12-2011, 12:27 PM

Both look good, but the latter one is REALLY cool. Too bad you lost some articulation on shoulders, but blades do look good that way.

*Powder* · 07-12-2011, 03:49 PM

Amazin', pal!

*discordiatookie* · 07-12-2011, 04:47 PM

That is superb! Makes me yearn for a NECA Shredder
