Scott, that’s impressive – are you using a gloss coat afterward, or just a glossy paint? Acrylics? The red on Alan looks absolutely perfect…

@ Darren,

…with a brush…

Seriously, it’s just a matter of making your paint not too thick and your strokes not too wide….”Just like in Prison” as Spy would say.

Scott/Spy, thanks! Spy I sent you a pm (assuming spymagician is your handle) – would love to know how you got the paint applied so smoothly as well!

thanks!

@ Darren,

You’ll have to talk to SpyMagician about that…

Just thought it’d be nice to link to the Q&A which had the quote about customs:

Oh man these are incredible! I especially like Alan Scott and Kate Spencer.
I would also like to go on the record as saying I loved the Hawkworld mini series and a Hawkworld inspired Hawkman and Hawkgirl would be awesome.

What? No Killer Moth?

These are pretty cool, and some are pretty obscure. Love that you included Halo. And that you included some Flash foes Heat Wave & Trickster. We can never have too many Flash Rogues after they ALL appeared in the Flash Museum episode of JLU.

@ Arsenio3 – The quote was from the DC Hall of Justice website.

@ all of you – thanks for the kind words about the customs. making these guys are like eating potato chips – once you start, you can’t stop.

When I’m done, I’ll post round two!

HA! Most of those are actually on my shelf at home. Not just the character, but that particular figure. Wow!

If they made Alan Scott using the Hal Jordan head I would lose my mind with righteous fury and indignant anger.

Scott-which Mattel Q&A did you quote? Is that the AFI Q&A that you have insider info on? Or am I just missing it somewhere?

Also these look ah-mazing. Love Heatwave and Manhunter!

Wow, great job on these. Love the classic Martian Manhunter. Looks like he comes from the pages of New Frontier.

LOL. The head for Alan Scott is from Hal Jordan. I’ve updated the post.

These are great, but my favourite has to be the Green Lantern Alan Scott. If they could just make a GL using that (blank) head, it would make so many people happy!

I am so digging Robotman, its the best Ive ever seen. Now if we can only get the Metal Men.

Batwoman looks amazing, as does Abin Sur-I did the same thing, Heatwave looks great, Ill have to try that recipe.

I am inspired by these! Especially the Batwoman figure! Thanks for showing the way.
