Next up is Adam Warlock. Adam is a pretty simple custom. Mostly some simple parts swapping and a little paint, but I think he turned out pretty good

Recipe:
Marvel Legends Adam Warlock head, cape, staff, and hands.
Power Ring upper torso, lower torso, right forearm, and shins.
Johnny Quick biceps & upper legs.
Superman feet.
Dr. Midnight left forearm.

Excellent. I love your conversions to the DCUC bodies which I think look superior to most of ML's.

Thanks The DCUC bodies work great for a lot Marvel characters. Two of my very first customs were Cyclops (Astonishing Costume) & Angel using DCUC bodies and they are still two of my favorites.

Astonishing X-Men Cyclops

Head and feet ML Series 10 Cyclops,
Biceps, forearms, and hands ML Series Angle,
Shoulders, upper and mid torso DCUC Black hand,
Waist, belt, and thighs DCUC Jemm,
Shins DCUC wave 7 Blue Beetle.

Angel
This was a fun project, and I think it was maybe the third custom that I made. I started it around the same time as my Cyclops, but angle took a little longer to complete. The Recipe is shoulders, mid and upper torso, and feet DCUC wave 7 Blue Beetle, waist and legs DCUC Black Hand, hands DCUC blue camo suit Aquaman, biceps and forearms DCUC Eclipso, and finally Head and wings from ML Angel.

Wowee! I love those. The thin lines on Cyclop's body were probably quite a bit of work and the halo log on Angel's chest! I really like that Namor and X23 also! That's Super Woman's head?

[1987olds442]

Yeah I made sure that I didn't have any caffeine in my system when I painted those lines For the halo I created it in Photoshop and printed it on label paper, and carefully cut it out. Then after a top coat to seal it you can't even tell it was a label. That is indeed Super Woman's head on X-23 and the base body is DCUC Star Saphire with X-23's hair, arms, knees, lower legs, and feet. I'm actually giving her a little touch up right now.

Like that X-23. Gah, the Toy Biz version is one of the worst, ugliest figures of all time.

[HectorHall]

you are absolutely right about Angel's halo, cannot tell it is a label, fantastic work.

[Muthasucka]

Olds, these customs are AWESOME!! Man, your paintwork is fantastic. What kind of metallic paint are you using? Also, how did you do the "piping" on Cyke's costume? A pen? I've tried that and not gotten nearly as good results as you did. Anyway, great freaking work, man.
