January 19, 201411 yr Author Still waiting on those photos ;). If I were to nitpick... keep in mind these are great and I nitpick everything... The Rhino is the best one so far. I'd blame the paint. It's got a smooth paint texture and isn't as shiny. The Red Hulk and Thing look shinier than usual. Also what method do you use? How the crap did you make these? I always feel that the best custom minifigures likes like never reveal how they're made. :P What photos are you wanting? The new ones aren't crappy ipad pics, lol, that's my only digital camera! For Rhino, I had a nice gray spray paint from Tamiya, for the Red Hulk, I had to mix paint and use my airbrush to apply. It's not as smooth, but I like the darker red. The Thing's orange is another Tamiya spray paint can, which was too dark. I brushed some lighter orange on top, still looks very glossy. I need to give them a coating of clear matte sealer, perhaps that'll help with the glossiness. As for how they are made, that's top secret. Lol, just kidding! I posted that I molded and cast them in resin. That means I poured a rubber mold around the Hulk and then after the mold was made, I poured in Alumilite resin into the mold to make my copy. Bam, that's it, no big secret.
March 1, 201410 yr Author Thanks Mr. Blisterfists! I made a few new Things since those pics, my newest one:
March 3, 201410 yr Oh my god, that second Thing. That is amazing. You ever think of making other bigfigs? A-Bomb? Grey Hulk?
March 4, 201410 yr Simply stunning. They look like LEGO made them! I have to say, I like The Thing the best. Rhino is awesome too, but I'm not loving Red Hulk. You are great at designing quality customs, keep it up!
March 4, 201410 yr Author Thanks for the replies, guys! That second picture of the Thing (my 3rd overall) really came together nicely, and features many improvements over the original. :) Oh my god, that second Thing. That is amazing. You ever think of making other bigfigs? A-Bomb? Grey Hulk? Yessir! I have a few auctions at that one place for eShopping, and I just took an order for some DC guys! I made a preliminary sketch of them for the buyer and began work yesterday: Clayface and Arkham Asylum Killer Croc Then I have 2 different Banes to make and a New 52 Darkseid! Should be lots of fun!(and work!!) As for specific names, unless my son requests someone, I really only make them for customers. I just got an order for a Marvel Kingpin, so that one is coming too. The large figure next to Thing would make a good Giant man (hint...hint...) Ahhh, do you have a crystal ball???
March 4, 201410 yr I'm loving these guys, especially Thing. Any way you might do an Abomination in the future? I can't wait to see how Arkham Croc and Clayface turn out. Stellar work!
March 31, 201410 yr Doomsday!! That is the one fig I would love to see from you. Seeing a custom Superman, beaten and bloody, with a Doomsday Big Fig lurking over him would be awesome!! Jamie
April 1, 201410 yr Wow, these are great! Too bad CUUSOO doesn't allow new molds in projects... Glad to see a Bane is in progress, he needs to be a big-fig.
April 2, 201410 yr Wow, all of them look awesome! Really hope the next future official wave comes with them.
April 9, 201410 yr These are amazing! I especially like the red Hulk, and the DC figs, too. That black Bane and Darksied. There's a huge potential for custom bigfigs using the Hulk mold, I'd imagine.
