Shadow Lass

This is a Star Sapphire body and head with Catwoman legs and arms with a Superwoman cape.

I was going to use a different figure for Shadow Lass but the light went off in my head about what I did with Dr. Cyber so changed things up real quick. I replaced the both of the entire legs and added the cape. The blue paint was a BEAR. It went on kinda chunky and I tried fixing it several times from starting all over and just repair work. This is the best that I could do. She turned out ok.

It's kinda lit my fire for hurrying and getting a Mon-El figure added to my Legion.

Great use of that Not-So-Big Barda figure...I went the McFarlane WW84 Golden Eagle figure route for my Big Barda; who now actually IS a Big Barda

But seriously...excellent job on this vicious villain

Based on what I see in the photo, that blue is beautifully applied! Another well done figure you have here...keep em coming; I have to live vicariously through you and Packer in regards to customs.

Mon-El

This just a Brainiac 5 repainted and I removed the collar and choker from a GAGL cape.

Nice! A highly effective repaint of Brainiac! Looks just like Mon-El!

Great work :smsmile: I always love seeing Mon-El customs. I really enjoyed his short run Valor series back in the 90's.

Beautiful. The matte finish on the red looks great.

Beautiful Dreamer

She's a Big Barda variant head on a Fire body with Wonder Woman N52 arms and Mary Marvel legs and skirt Supergirl legs. I had to use Supergirl upper legs because I screwed up with the Mary Marvel upper legs and had to replace them.

Looks great nice paint apps. Do you have problems with the paint flaking off since it is a soft plastic part on the skirt?

Holy crow. Your customs are great. As a Kirby and LOSH fan since childhood this is so cool to see.
