Wow!... Don't know how I missed this thread before... I'd picked up an extra Lex to make Ollier Queen, Bruce Wayne or maybe Snapper Carr, would never have thought of Hamilton, Eiling or Waller from that base...
Great stuff there!

I really, REALLY think that you should send photos of the Cadmus trio to the Target people for an idea for the JLU line.
Since Target is shifting the line to a collector oriented product these are exactly what many of us - (please put my name at the top of the list) would buy in a minute as part of a 6-pack.
I know that Mattel was pitching Grodd when I sent a letter to the Target Executive VP over toys with a photo mock up with Casimir's Grodd as a recommendation. I think that it helped our cause by the retailer getting a letter. Sending pictures of your Cadmus trio couldn't hurt!

I really admire your talent to create those head sculpts, maybe is the most difficult part of any custom, but you always catch the esence of the character on each one.
Congratulations

Thanks Casimir & NitEwinNg.
Jim_Abel, Bruce Wayne... Old Bruce Wayne!! This base would be perfect for him. The lowered shoulders, the legs. I've wondered what i could use for him for a while and i was so focused on cadmus that i didnt even think of him.
We should start a "what would you use" thread, or recipe thread around here. It would help spread some the great ideas out there that my never get thought of.
Thanks for the comment and the idea. Just when i was about to retire that mold.
Glenn2000, Thats a thought. I always heard that they thought of "most" of us as hobbyist and disregarded anything we customizers did reguardless of skill level. I know a sculptor who is a master at his craft who submitted to hasbro and they brushed him off. He told me how they looked at customizers.
When i finish the whole group i may just get that address from you.
Thanks Bobbymuro. I love the sculpting part. Thats where i have the most fun.
Thanks alot enzo. Any sign of that package yet? Let me know when you get it.

Hey Glassman, man you are doing brilliant work. You should think about selling some of your castings. The sculpting on Eiling and Waller were terrific.
BTW, everytime I see your name on a post, I think of the Seinfeld episode where Kramer gets the wrong license plate that reads: assman.
Great episode. And great customs!

I wouldnt mess with her. I'ld tell her she's great looking anytime. Otherwise you'ld end up in a cadmus lab...or worse. Continuing on with Cadmus JLU General Wade Eiling (Dress Blues)  He was yet another cast figure made from a cast of Doomsday lex. His head was my usual wax sculpt, molded and cast in plastic.  I am considering a version in his green fatigues. 3 members of cadmus done.  Here's the WIP 
My gosh! I can't see the images! What's wrong with my PC!!! I wanna see this!

Okay, seriously...Waller kicks too much ass. Fantastic work!
Can you make the naked variant with extra-large towel?
Peace,
Chip

Thanks Primtetime, Hopefully with the new Mattel attitude, we will see some 3 packs like this in the future. Or better yet, 6 packs with all of them.
Thanks Veil1. Most of my head sculpts are available. If i had to make a mold , then i can offer casts. PM me. There are only a few that arent, like salaak that i sculpted right onto the figure.
Thanks Nightwing & Asiatic.
Thanks Riddler. Far too kind, but thanks!
Zaxilla2, You bet i am, I was worried that they would all look the same, but so fat, not too much. Thanks
Lance, refresh, they are showing up fine in your quote.
Marillion, Good Idea. I think Casimir did the shower scene from the Initiation episode... Maybe i will. Thanks
Thanks Toyman. Hopefully i'll have the next member soon, gotta put some time in on my Con figs and commissions.
Again, thanks for all the comments and compliments. You guys are great!
