1) Kamen Rider G1-R:
(Original post: Jan 2021)
Kamen Rider G1-R, the R can stand for Rising or Rebuilt. The idea is that the original G1 (that looks mostly like G3, but in Kuuga colors) got heavily damaged and the only parts available to rebuild it was the remains of G4.
The figure itself is a Shodo-O G4 in Kuuga colors. Took some liberties with the color scheme to conform to the mold. I didn't think I'd like having this much gold, but it really won me over the more I painted. For fun, I made the battery pack blue since the other G series Riders use red.
UPDATE:
Since the original post, I have repainted the eyes with a metallic red Gundam Marker so they pop.

2) SO-DO Kamen Rider T/T Rider:
(Original post: Feb 2021)
Second of my new Riders is finished (First being G1-R)! I'm currently calling him Kamen Rider T or T Rider for short (like X Rider and Super Rider). T for Turtle, of course.
(Side note, I've wanted to have Ultra Donatello Cast Off like this for years)
Lore for T Rider is a bit stranger than G1-R. In my comic universe TMNT exists alongside everything else I want. At some point Donatello jointed a group of Kamen Riders. I think Donnie is the kind of character that would make his own Rider suit after being around them for a while.
The figure is a SO-DO Kamen Rider Buster from Saber. Buster is a wide build Rider with a major turtle motif, so this becoming a Ninja Turtle works amazingly. As for why Donnie, he's my fav and the spear (From Arms Action Kurokage) being able to equip to the back was just to good.
And just for fun, I got out all my old 4"-ish TMNT customs from years and years ago (They are really dusty).

2.5) SO-DO Kamen Rider T/T Rider UPDATE:
(Original post: Dec 2021)
Updated T-Rider. Changed the black to a green. Changed the mouth to have teeth. As soon as I finished it earlier in the year I had been considering these changes, but didn't get to it until I decided to make a bigger change, the new Turtle Driver.
The Turtle Driver is a repaint of the Den-O Belt (have extras now). Had to shave down the peg as it's one of those SO-DO drivers with a thick peg. Colored the buttons to be the bandana colors. Idea here is that any of them can use it and the colors change to match the user. The power source is one of the Muta Stones, probably in the Turtle Driver.
The black contrasted better, but the green is more turtle-y. I put this off because I didn't want to deal with repainting of the joints as they were already black. Surprisingly didn't give me much trouble.

3) Renewal of SO-DO Kamen Rider Waltz:
(Original post: Feb 2021)
NOTE: I may refer to him as Black Waltz in this post, but have since reverted back to just Waltz. I don't think I give a reason for the name here, since the name Mage was already taken, I named him after the Black Waltzs from Final Fantasy IX.
This is a reworking of an older custom.
Parts:
Hat- 2008 Ki-Adi-Mundi Comic 2-Pack
Head- Para-DX Action Body dummy head
Arms and legs- Para-DX
Staff- Arms Action Kamuro
Torso and feet- Zi-O
Torso armor, shoulder armor, and robe- WizardArmor
Hip- Build
Gamer Driver- Shakariki Sports
The old custom:
Here's new vs old. The reason for the update is because Para-DX's Perfect Puzzle armor is awful. Try to move the arms and the shoulder pads fall off. Wasn't happy with the colors either. Ironically the WizardArmor is also awful for stuff falling off, but I removed that part. I lost the cloth robe, but I think this one works pretty well (Update note: This cape went to Kamen Rider Aki/Thief). Also gave him a NES colored Gamer Driver. I switched to gold from silver because the Black Wizard class used some gold.
Like the original, took some inspiration from Vivi's pants, the black mage from Final Fantasy IX.
And finally T Rider, G1-R, and Black Waltz together. Really happy with how these three turned out.

4) SO-DO Kamen Rider Al
(Original post: Dec 2021)
I worked on this one for a while, Kamen Rider Al!
Parts:
Espada Golden Alangina: Head, neck, back, hip, driver, left side, left shoulder pad, feet, sword
Saber Dragon Bremen: Right side and shoulder, chest
Ryugen Yomi: Arms
Gaim Kiwami: Hands
Ninja Player: Legs
Ex-Aid: Right shoulder pad
Based on Aladdin's street urchin look with elements of the Genie added in. The Wonder Ride Books are now based on the VHS tapes of the 3 Aladdin movies (UPDATE: The Driver is called the Home Video Driver). I would've liked a scimitar for the sword, but didn't have a good option.
The cape comes off to become the magic carpet. The old Mattel magic carpet toy scales quite well here, I just wish my old toy was in better condition for this.
"Genie, I wish to have Phenomenal Cosmic Power!"
A surprise form change using Espada's Hedgehog chest piece. Gives him a spiky Genie face on his chest.
All the painted hands and accessories, plus what it looks like with the torso apart.
Finally some group shots. First is with G1-R, T-Rider, and Black Waltz which are other recent OC Riders of mine. Second is with an old custom of Kamen Rider Zade, who's based on Jasmine and made out of Arms Action parts.

5) Renewal of Arms Action Kamen Rider Zade:
(Original post: Jan 2022)
Alongside updating others (NOTE: Probably referring to T Rider), I updated Armored Rider Zade (last pic) into Kamen Rider Zade. Originally a Gaim style Rider that's loosely a Blueberry Arms, but it was really a Princess Jasmine themed Rider. I added a twist tie ponytail and refreshed the paint job. Goes great with Al.

6) SO-DO Blade Raider's Unnamed Rider Machine:
(Original post: Oct 2021/Jan 2022)
Another one that hasn't made it into my comic yet: Blade Raider's Rider Machine...that I haven't named yet. It's a simple repaint of the Gatriker. One feature I haven't taken finished pics of is the bikes ability to strap Blade's wheelchair from his civilian form to the back (Shown in the last picture because I painted it).
(Original post: 2021)

7) YU-DO Gokai Red Zenkai Mode + Twokaiser:
(Original post: Nov 2021)
As soon as I got YU-DO Zenkaiger 2, I took an extra Twokaiser to make a Gokai Red because why would they make new candy toys of the Gokaigers...hindsight's 20/20, y'all (couldn't be happier those are getting made by the way). I was going to do new shoulder pads (Zenkai Red's look great on this) and weapons, but once it was clear Shodo was happening, I decided to just wrap it up. Might revisit this one day and make a different color out of it.
And I also painted up a Twokaiser. Everything except the helmet and shoulder armor is painted. I might go back and paint the hands to match my red, but this is more or less finished.
And the two together.

8) GI Joe RAM Chaser 3000
It's a modded RAM Cycle from GI Joe to be use as G1-R's Rider Machine. Since G1-R is based on Kuuga Mighty's colors, RAM Chaser 3000's colors are based on a mix of Try Chaser 1000 and Beat Chaser 2000.
Other side and without the minigun sidecar attached. Sadly in these pictures I can see some green where there shouldn't be and super hard to get to. I might try to get some of it later, but this does remind me why I don't paint vehicles often.
With G1-R riding. Compliments him well.
Since someone mentioned Iron Grenadiers, let's put Kamen Rider Grenadier on it to. Looks good.
With Blade Raider's Rider Machine that I've still yet to name (Yeah, I still haven't named it).

And that's it for now! Hope you all enjoyed.
