Thanks everyone :) I'm really enjoying getting back into do a little customizing. A Firestar could be a fun project, and a Hellcat would be a good base to start from.

Yeah, Hellcat makes it relatively easy. Especially with hpw much of a pain painting with yellow is.

With getting back into customizing I wanted to do a few little projects to practice and knock the rust off.

Here is a quick little head swap and paint job. I was looking through my fodder box, and I had a DC Direct Superboy Prime body. I bought it many years ago to use the head for Sinestro Corps Superboy Prime (which I will take some pictures of it a little later). So I needed a new head for this body. I started looking through my bags of heads (that sounds wrong), and I found a shrunken casting of DC Direct Blackest Night Guy Gardner that I got from casting cave. I thought the smirk suited SB Prime, so after a little dremeling and a paint job Superboy Prime was whole again.

Here is a real quick little swap. I bought a loose New 52 Wonder Woman off of eBay years ago when I did the head swap for DC Signature Series Ice. The WW body has been in my fodder box ever since. For here I had a Star Sapphire WW leftover from another project. So after a little paint, and new sword from casting cave she is back together.

I also did a head swap and repaint on the Multiverse Ares CNC figure. I had an original DCUC Ares head, so I decided to paint it to match the new CNC Ares figure.

And I've been working on expanding my Hal Jordan Lanterns.

Looks great so far, Olds. I would venture to guess you're working on the Orange Lantern Hal? :)

If these Lanterns were mass produced and created by you ... I'll buy all of them in a heartbeat! ... Darn impressive!

Glad to see you're back to working on customs, Olds. Top-notch works, as always. That DCUC collect-n-connect Ares repainted head makes a HUGE improvement. Great job matching the look to match the movie Are figure's body & I almost wish we saw
something more like that in the Wonder Woman movie. Those rainbow Lanterns are very well done, also, as well as the mohawk Storm. Keep up the great work!
