Haha, thanks! These ones were so much fun to put together because he had a ton of awesome fire moves. Then of course borrowing the movie fatality.

Really appreciate that! I’m having so much fun with it now. Just ordered a new batch of green stuff since it seems like I’m gonna be using it a lot now that we are still so far off from getting any new parts to mess with outside of Eagle Force. Said it before though, owe you and Ax a lot of credit for me getting up to speed this quickly with the sculpting. Seeing what you guys were doing with it and the before pics really helped me pick up the process quickly.

Thanks! Yeah, that was such a great head that they made that i really couldn’t wait to use it to make this version of Shang Tsung.

Very much appreciative of everyone coming in, checking things out, leaving comments & helping me keep momentum! Really wanted all of these guys made but highly doubt it would have happened as quickly without all of the good times posting & chatting here. So big thanks, everyone!

That's so cool man. I hope you've had half as much fun as much as I have just getting to follow along!

I really enjoy this project thread and a few others: Flint_rocks' Best of the 80s, Steel Brigade's My Marauder Task Force Universe, AF80sFAN's Action Force and MTF Based Customs, rob’s Joes Marauders Style as well a few others I'm sure sure I'm forgetting to mention. Reminds me of the old Phoenix Customs projects.

Thanks to all you guys for sharing your hard work and creativity with the rest of us.

Such a great custom with an amazing build! The dio pictures are a ton of fun...H&R and Shang Tsung brought the heat!

That’s a perfect head for Shang tsung! Colors are on point as well. You must be stoked for the new movie Becuase your pumping out the MK universe at full speed.

And thank you for the shout out on SS my brotha.

Keep em coming !

Well done again.

You're unstoppable, that's well established! I like your choice for the head on this one as it looks like it truly belongs. Once again your sculpting skills are outstanding and I can tell that you're really having fun with it. Did I mention that I love this light blue paint? Great stuff my dude.

Whilst I am not usually a fan of neon figures that use of the Fortnite figure for Deep Six is genius.

Great choice of head of Shang Tsung, and the sculpting work looks great. I had to break out the greenstuff for a custom yesterday (and need to take the sandpaper to it today after it has hardened) but I don't think it is going to come out nearly as well.

Awesome Shang Tsung. Nice sculpt work. You’re really digging in and it’s paying off.

Thanks! Haha, oh I definitely have! So much fun sitting down and making this stuff but then so cool to have some back and forth with other Joe fans after sharing it. Never really thought I’d become a customizer so the fact that I have a following in my thread definitely helps keep me motivated during those times when you get a little burned out from working on stuff.

Totally agree on all of those threads you shared and then the individual figure ones or others not mentioned. So much fun to see what everyone is up to but then to watch how we’ve all increased our skill level over the course of making things. Everyone on here really pushes each other to keep trying new things and it absolutely leads to us all getting to see cooler and cooler customs.

Thanks! Oh, those pictures were sooo much fun to take! Haha, love the one where it’s just a montage of him firing off different moves!

Thanks! He pops so well in person and then it was just awesome that the two paints I had matched the original figure so perfectly. Then that head was just too epic not to find a great use for.

I’m hopeful, haha. Love the original movie, can enjoy the second one but the recent Indy ones I wasn’t crazy about at all. They’re making me nervous with this new character lead but I’ll give it a shot whenever they make it available outside of whatever streaming service it is attached to.

Thanks, as always! Haha, having a lot of fun with the sculpted bits, was really happy when hiding some of those muscles worked so well!

Thanks, I appreciate it! Haha, yeah, the neon isn’t for everyone but always cool to hear people think I do them well when I drop them. This one wasn’t one I owned as a kid but he really grew on me as I finished him and took pictures.

As I work down my parts bins I’ve been grabbing the green stuff more and more. Pretty much anything I can do to avoid placing an order until new stuff comes out. Haha. Can’t wait to see what you are working on!

Thanks! Thought he came out looking so cool! Can’t really go wrong with adding a Shang Tsung to your collection! And yup, I’m all in on sculpting now! Way too much fun and it’s a cool skill to develop,
