Hello there. I've been a member here for a while, and while I call the Custom Justice my home, decided I'd like to post my customs here as well. I've been customizing for a while, and still have a LOT to learn. However, I finally am starting to feel comfortable and figured I'd share with you guys. Hope you enjoy.

The first two I know the background is hideous lol, but I just haven't gotten around to taking new pics. Eventually I will, but here they are for now. :D

Justice Lord Aquaman

Justice Lord Red Tornado

Thom Kallor Starman

Faith from the Justice League - just a personal favorite of mine.

Thanks VERY much for the compliments. I like Human Bomb, and I'm happy with him. But my goodness, white just shows everything lol.

And I forgot to give thanks for Samurai's tunic. My friend Stew from the Hall created it and printed it out to make things easier. So much easier to use.

Good stuff. I really like the Samuri, Damage and Human Bomb. And I've never seen a Justice Lords Red Tornado.

Cool.

Good work all around texgnome! I especially love the Starman! Did you use pieces of glitter for the stars or did you just paint little specks?

Thanks for the compliments Julius & Brand. Actually Brand, the type of paint I use has a brush on glitter paint. VERY useful, and so much easier than doing individual paint dots.

Thanks for all the kind words. I finally got off my butt and finished a couple of the many projects that seem to sit on my work bench forever lol. The first one I've wanted to do since I did my first customs, but couldn't QUITE figure out how do it. Then I finally figured out a way to do it.

Major Force

Image

Image

Image

Major Force was made from a JLU 7POA Martian Manhunter body, arms, and upper legs. I sanded down the belt and those stupid red Xs. Then I filled in the holes in the shoulder from the cape and sanded that down.

The head is from a B:TAS Bruce Wayne. The lower legs were swapped out with a 7POA Superman legs. I simply couldn't take any more sanding after those stupid red Xs lol. And before any of you wise guys ask, YES I could have used Aquaman, but I didn't have one around :P. Painted using metallic purple paint and a metallic gold / antique gold mix.

Ra's Al Ghul

Image

Image

I have to admit this recipe was completely stolen lol. I saw Jason Brashear's recipe for this from CustomCon18, and couldn't believe how simple it was. Ra's is probably my son's favorite Batman villain, and I knew I had to make him. It's a B:TAS Ra's head on a JLU Mirror Master body. Cut the points & the holsters off the belt, one nice coat of paint later and voila. Thanks for looking!
