I've been working on a project for a dio pic I have in my head so I haven't been working too much on figures. But inbetween 3D print rounds I have been throwing things together.

First up a couple MIB Suits

This first one has no name yet. It was made to use the cast suit torso I had in my bin. The torso is odd, the shoulders slope down quite a bit as you can see and makes it look off. I decided this will be an alien riding around in some sort of either mechanical suit or possible an artificial "skin" that doesn't fit so well.

I didn't want to put too much into it so I used leather jacket Mutt arms and a pair of suit legs (maybe from an MIB figure). I had to sculpt the tie out of greenstuff. I can see some paint issues with the tie, but for now it just doesn't bother me.



Special Agent In Charge J

This was a headswap. No biggie, it just works. I'm working on #D printing some glasses. Or I may do what I've done in the past and put them out of plastic. Whichever ends up being easier as this is another one I don't want to spend too much time on.



This is something different.

I have been doing a lot of GIJoe / Battle Beasts mashups for the last couple of years and this is the newest one (actually done a couple weeks ago I think). These little dudes are so much fun to make. I've made a lot of different characters.

Big Boa

Here's a few for today.

Agent M was the first but far from the last MIB Agent to fall prey to the undead.

This is another figure made to use up fodder. I've had this A-Team Face figure primed for years. Sitting in a fodder draw got it all kinds of banged up and I realized it wasn't good for a nicer custom so I slapped a zombie head, zombie hands, and swapped out a foot and voila, another zombie mouth for the horde.



This is Agent Tau, the first recruit for MIB Intergalactic. He has a long time fascination with Earth and humans so he can often be found on the MIB Moon Base.

This was a simple one. I painted the head, neck, and hands. I left the blue at the ankles cause it looks like socks.



And one more Alien for today, not a part of MIB. This was made from a 3D printed RAH style head and a Battle Beast cause I can't get enough of them.

You're burning rocket fuel here lately. Fantastic stuff.

I love what you did with Beast Man. Also I never expected to see Battle Beast customs but it works. Very creative, I love it.

Thanks! Only cause it's summer. Once work starts back up I have less time to work on projects.

Thanks! Man, I gotta tell you the Battle Beasts customs are some of my favorite. I've made quite a few. I have pics of three more I finished, well, two are finished, one needs accessories but I took pics anyway. They'll be posted tomorrow.

Here's today's figures.

Destro's D.E.M.O.N. driver, the Ferret.

I realized that I had a D.E.M.O.N. in my collection and I had two of these imperfect cast heads in my collection so I set out to make a couple drivers using only what fodder I had in the drawers. I'm pretty happy with the builds.

That’s a nice build

Hey, I recognize those chest pieces! They work really well. Your creativity on those is admirable. I now have confidence to try a Ferret of my own. Now, I have to ask, how did you get the chest pieces to sit in the figure so well. I always have trouble with that particular piece sitting correctly. Even after boiling the thing and molding it over the shoulders.
The gold on your figs is really well done, too. I am jealous.

Thanks! Do it! I'd love to see what you come up with. I ended up gluing them to the figure cause they just don't want to hold shape. Even after gluing one kept popping off so I added the glue and put the figure under a book till it dried. So far it's held (knock on wood). The gold is Citidel Colour Base Retribution Armour. It took three thin coats to smooth out. It's my favorite gold paint I've found so far.
