I'm finally back with some new(ish) stuff. First, I fixed all broken links in this thread, so take a look if you missed something before.
Blade Raider (Non-TAOWAR related) Remember I mentioned the RatStriker custom looks different now? Me neither, I just reread that post. Anyways, this is the update to that custom I mentioned, like, 8 months ago. First, the tail now sticks out of the bottom of the back for the extra balance it needed. Then there's a new head crest for something different. New paint job adds gray in to the mix, brighting it up a good deal. Finally, lots of weapons. There are 7 bladed weapons. 4 of them are from an old ToyBiz Wolverine (I forget the name of it). The techno one is from He-Man, which I'd like to replace because it's very He-Man. The broadsword is from a LOTR figure (which I need to paint silver now that I have more silver). The dark grey knife is from a Foot Soldier. The gun is Movie Jazz's "Telescoping sword," whatever that is. All weapons can be stored in bot mode except the 2 swords. Finally, I put together a quick bio for him.

Negaduck:
I may have posted this one somewhere, but didn't see it while fixing pics. Anyways, A few years ago I decided I wanted to restore my Darkwing Duck collection that I had as a kid. I ended up getting a really good lot with everything and more. One of them was an extra Darkwing Duck. 2 DWs? Surly there's a use for the extra! A simple repaint and Negaduck is made. Now if I could figure out what to do with this extra Honker. Yellow paint is not my friend. Have never been able to make it look solid. I may give it another try one day. Un-Named Cyberjet: Here's one of my oldest customs I never took proper pics of. It's Wind Sheer with with two right arms, modded Gundam hands to give him two normal (and exchangeable) hands, and blades replacing the missiles. I never named him or painted him. Really should try something more with him. Finally, if you remember Icefang and Starshooter some pages back, they now have profiles. Might as well post them for fun.

Very cool stuff. I like the bios for your characters. Too many figs to comment on. All really well done man. Keep 'em coming.

Thank ya.
Now for my newest TF. Generations Devcon: I'm sure someone else can do a more accurate Devcon with this mold, but I simply love the paint job of Gen Blurr to much. So, I tried my best not to step on what I love about the figure's paint job. The car mode only has one change, the spoiler, because of this. Biggest change is the torso. That's now blue and white instead of black. I do wish I could've figured out a way to turn the windshield/roof into a shield so I could have the awesome and cooler chest up front. EDIT: Sorry if the flash. That background wasn't my best choice.

Hey all. It's been some time since I've posted at all. Sorry about that. Anyways, I've gotten back around to some custom work. In fact over the last few weeks I've finished at least 6 customs. So it's time to share. For fun, I'm doing a theme today: Samurais!
First up, we need some samurai jacktion! SAMURAI JACK 4" scale Samurai Jack is something I've had "finished" since last fall, but kept forgetting to post the pictures (I think). It's a rather simple custom that I think someone else with more skill could top easily. I planned it to have a shirtless mode with a Leia dress piece replacing the gi, but he looks awful without the gi on. I hope to improve it at a later time, for now it's presentable. Parts: Head: Thor Hogan Torso: ROC shirtless battle damaged Storm Shadow Lower Arms: Comic 2-pack Storm Shadow (the shirtless one with Firefly) Legs: Comic 2-pack "Training" Snake-Eyes Sword: Comic 2-pack "Training" Snake-Eyes Gi/Robe: The Indy figure with Hat: Ages of Action Ninja. I fits just right. Next up is something that I made because I know Bandai of America ain't going to. ShinkenRed Princess: Yeah, this is a Power Rangers Samurai toy, but these are my (extremely) cheap alternative to buying Shinkenger Figuarts. However, Bandai of America is very unlikly to make a female red ranger (that I'm not sure is even in the show and don't care at this point). So yeah, took a Yellow Ranger body and a Red Ranger head and went to town on the paint. Simple really. I have noticed the shoulders sockets need some work, but din't see it until I reviewed the pics. They honestly look fine in person. So what did I do with the extra parts? Hmm...let's ask the samurai authorized under the frontier... ShinkenBrown! I am so a nerd. For those not familiar with Shinkenger (you should fix that, it's quite good), there's a one shot episode where an american named Richard Brown gets saved by the Shinkengers and decides he must join them in the battle againist evil. He tracks them down, declares himself "ShinkenBrown," and hilarity ensues. So yeah, here's my version. I figure if he wasn't a joke, ShinkenBrown would be a gunslinging american. A cowboy to complement the samurais. As you can see, he has a handgun instead of a katana. It's just something from an old Gundam model. Again, there's tiny bits I missed until seeing the pics. These figures were my B-projects anyways so I don't mind my mistakes all that much. So that's it for tonight. I'll leave you all with a pic of all 8 of my Shinkengers.

Back with some more customs. These are characters in TAOWAR that will be updated as soon as I can. I will not be updating these in the comic until all of them are done. I'm still working on 2.
First up, one that was previewed in And Then They Fight: MODERN ERA ARCHANGEL A lot more impressive when put all together, no? The first things I wanted was flame wings and a flame sword. Archangel is a Fire Element afterall. The wings and sword are both painted red with a paint wash of yellow added for effect. I am happy with the results. The wings are so heavy that he can not stand without a that Stage Act stand. The vest is a clue to Archangel's past and that's all I really have to say about that. The hat is I think the best Urahara hat I've made to date. Parts: Head: DC Infinite Heroes Captain Boomerang. Hat: ROC Pit Commando. Body: 25th Chuckles. Hands: ROC Accelerator Suit. Wristbands: Dataframe, I think. Leg Holster: 25th Breaker (moded for sword hilt). Vest: 25th Cobra Viper. Normal Sword: 25th Pyramid of Darkness Snake Eyes. Gun: It's the mold 25th Green vest Rockblock came with with extra ammo parts I had. Flame Sword Hilt for Leg Holster: 25th Lift Ticket. Flame Sword: Tri-Gate Creations (don't think they exist anymore). Flame Wings: TMNT Ace Duck.

MODERN ERA STAR THE WANDERER
Another figure previewed in And Then They Fight, Star getting a full custom has been a long time coming. Star has been a major hero since the begining, but the figures used (DTC Spirit) was just so perfect that I really never customized the figure. For this overhauled design, I went with an adventure theme. The colors are borrowed from a Sprite of the same character. Grey top and brown pants work well together. Added in some black to darken it up a little bit. Parts: Head: Qui-Gon Jinn. Hat: Indiana Jones. Body: 25th Airborne. Grenade Belt: 25th Pyramid of Darkness Snake Eyes. Belt: Extra part I had. I think it's the same mold as Airborne's belt. Sword and Sword Sheath: ROC PP Snake Eyes. Shotgun: 25th Shipwreck. Whip: Indiana Jones. Jetpack: DVD pack. Jetpack Effect: Boba Fett. MODERN ERA DARTH NOVA Since I was updating Star, I figured I'd update Darth Nova as well. I left his head unchanged so that I can restore Qui-Gon Jinn if I ever need to. The rest is just a simple Qui-Gon Jinn body painted black with some green in there for favor. Parts: Body: Qui-Gon Jinn. Robe: Palpatine. Lightsaber: Palpatine. Simpiest parts list I've ever done :P
