Topic: Cmdr_Vulkus's customs thread

[Cmdr_Vulkus]

Greeting one and all. I'm pleased to present to you some of my first WIPs of some projects I'm currently working on at the moment. So without further adieu, here's my Batman and Baron Strucker customs projects

[Luke Sprywalker]

Looks like a great start and welcome to the Yards!

[Cmdr_Vulkus]

Thanks. I should get around to priming Bats black tomorrow if its not too cold here. Ive already started on the utility belt. As for Strucker, I'm just waiting on his head and then I'll be able to start back on him. The IM arm worked out great for Strucker's gauntlet.

Hey, your strucker project is turning out nicely.

[Cmdr_Vulkus]

Thank you.

[Tamer]

You have a great start on both figure projects. Welcome to isy and your first update is on the front page.

Welcome to the Shipyards! I'm loving these WIP shots!

[Cmdr_Vulkus]

Thank you all for the kind words and making me feel welcome. Priming stage has begun on Bats. I'll catch any flaws I missed and fill in the mistakes after that. I'm hoping to finish the Utility Belt today, got an undercoat on it so far. I'll try to get a shot of it as is at some point today and then a finished shot once done

[Cmdr_Vulkus]

Here's a few shots of the belt so far

It seems I may have something else to show that I had totally forgotten about till this evening relatively soon. Stay tuned as I hopefully will have it done in a few days and its nothing Ive shown yet.

I love the base figure choice and the parts selection going in Batman.  Using the sword tips as the base shape for his "ears" is ingenious.

Those are actually Space Marine knives from Warhammer 40k. I just carved a slight indention in the area I wanted them then filed and green stuffed as needed. The spikes in his gloves are Dark Eldar spike bits. I just pin drilled them in and cut to fit. The body has been primed black but its a little tacky feeling still so I'm gonna give it another day to cure. In the meantime, my Mindbender came in today so I worked on correcting his face for my Strucker while playing some Marvel Heroes today. Take a look:





All I need to do now is paint him up and he's done. I had to do a little carve sculpting to get his mouth to a descent fashion after I removed the mustache. All in all, I'm pleased with the turnout.
