Go-Figure Post #3!

Marvel Universe Dr.Strange
Supplies:
Red cloth, X-Acto Knife, Black Sharpie paint marker, crazy glue, and any fodder belt will do. I used one from the Prince of Persia movie 3" Dastan figure, and Boots of a Marvel Universe Steve Rogers.

So first, it started out as this figure, from a comic pack because I missed out on the original.

BUT I did not dig the all blue look. First order of business was painting the legs black. But then, I just said the hell with it and went for my own version of the Doctor here.

Let me tell you, finding a cape for Strange was a pain, and I can't cut a straight line on cloth worth a damn. Then, deep in the bowels of my basement, I found these scissors that leave a pattern as they cut, and I thought that it would be perfect for Dr.Strange! In my opinion, it looks sick! The cape can either be drawn over his shoulders, to cover his arms, or draped back, so that it wont interfere with posability.

Transformers Prime Powerizers Optimus Prime
Supplies:
X-Acto knife, crazy glue, Sharpie Silver Paint Marker.Sharpie Red Paint Marker, Sharpie Blue Paint Marker, and patience. Lots and lots of patience.

It started out like this:

It was based on this:

So I made this:

First off, the weapons. The sword is borrowed from a Fall of Cybertron Air Raid. The cannon comes from Transformers prime Rumble, but I repainted it in Prime-esque colors.

 

 

The painted areas are pretty clear when comparing with the base image. However the lights on his chest were cut and glued from the tops of his shoulders.

 

For his back, I couldn't even begin to tell you where to place the pieces. I just put them in places that felt right and looked clean. However If you try to follow what I did,  I suggest using some fodder bits to fill the gap as seen in the pic above this.

 

Finally, the area you see in light blue paint, was originally empty. That piece is from a Dark of the Moon deluxe Topspin. I added it to fill the gap, true in the CGI model there's no wheel there but I think it looks pretty cool!



Marvel Legends Ultimate Captain America
Supplies:
Captain America The First Avenger 6" wal mart Captain America, Marvel Legends Super Soldier Steve Rogers, X-Acto knife, crazy glue

This is the simplest custom. The shield, was just one that I personally prefer from my fodder bin. Was from an older Toybiz Cap if I'm correct. The head swap came from a youtube video I saw when the reviewer said the head looked too big, and looking at it, it did. So I tried the movie Cap head and I thought it would look cool. But then I thought, the vest kind of throws off the look, so I removed it. Next what bugged me from the start was the gun holster. As I mentioned in the review, it wasn't removable. So I X-Actoed that baby right off and glued on the one from the Cap movie figure! Works like a charm! I finally X-Actoed the excess pouches of his belt off. I also simply gave him Steve Rogers shoulder straps. Why? I dunno, they look cool on him.

 

 

 

Mark VII Iron Man V.2
Supplies:
 Iron Man 1 6" Mark III, crazy clue, X-Acto Knife, Iron Man 2 3" Mark III
Something was bugging me about my previous attempts at the Mark VII, seen here:

A repaint was too simple. So I remodeled. I gave him the shoulder pads of the Mark III, cut to match the Mark VII's a bit more, took those flappy things off of the 3" Mark III's accessory and glued them to his shoulders for his missile pods, and finally, cut and glued bits of the 6" Mark III's forearm guards for his forearm missile pods, and I went from what you see above, to this:

 

May not be perfectly screen accurate, but much more accurate than my previous attempt! That's all for this post!
