I turned this:
Head: Clean-Sweep '91 + M. Bison '93 hat Torso: Corps! Arms: Beach Head '86 Waist: T.A.R.G.A.T. '89 Upper legs: General Flagg '92 Lower legs: Tunnel Rat '87 into: Kart: Playmobil Steering wheel: Snow Cat '85 Banana: piece of straw Mario's head took me quite some time modifying. Had to cut the hat from Bison, cut the head from Clean-Sweep and make them both fit together. Used some Greenstuff to make this work, also enlarged the hat with Greenstuff and made a bigger moustache. The Corps torso was just perfect. I just had to make a kart too, because I believe Super Mario Kart is one of the best SNES games out there. That game got a LOT of playtime in our house. I cut and dremeled some stuff off of the kart, because Playmobil figures are a bit smaller than Joes. Other than that the scale looked very good to me. Replaced the steering wheel for the one from Snow Cat. I came up with the banana idea on the very last moment. Cut and painted a piece of straw for that. (strange sidenote: when making this custom I found out Mario's hair is always brown, but his moustache and eyebrows are always black...... ) |

This is WIP Bullet Bill:
Nose: Rolling Thunder '88 missile top Body: Thunderclap '89 cannon Arms: Gung Ho '84 Painted: Bullet Bill appeared in the majority of Mario games and can be seen in some different looks. I chose the classic look to make since that's how I encountered him the most when playing Super Mario. I had to find some tube for the body and a conical shape for the nose. For the nose I started looking in my rocket bin, but all of those were too small. The only one that would work was the top of the Rolling Thunder missile. Didn't have a spare one, so I used one from my childhood/display RT. I used a General mortar for the body at first, but the Thunderclap cannon needed less modifications. The hardest part was painting the eyes. Together: |
