ScarJo has some nice guns.

Those Glocks aren't bad either. Giggidy.

Well here are a few things that I'm working on...

A taller Stealth Suit Captain America. Right now I just swapped the knees and lower legs with the Winter Soldier and did a little basic painting to make them match the rest of the uniform.

A couple of Crossbones using WWE elite figures. One for myself and one to sell to fund more projects :batgrin:

Man seeing Commander Rogers with those WWE elites really makes me want to rebuild him using an elite figure.

U-Foes Ironclad. For the fist they are castings of my Brimstones fist casted by Black Arachnis. The head is a re-sculpted Smart Hulk head that was enlarged by Glassman.

A taller Marvel Now! Captain America. When chatting with a future commissioner we were talking about redoing the Wreckers on the Hyperion body, and the idea of making Now Cap taller came up. So I decided to see what it would looking like on my personal Cap. I cut the boots and added a styrene tube for a spacer, not I'm going to use apoxie sculpt to re-sculpt the boots.

A Ms. Marvel for a commissioner. With the lighter skin tones I'm trying to match it with the Flamebird head that he sent me for her... Right now she looks a little naughty... :smgasp: as packerbacker180 would say Giggidy :smlol:

Giggidy, she's got Barbie lady parts--or lack of lady parts like Barbie. :) Some cool stuff you've got going on there.

Yep she is pretty Barbie-ish right now isn't she :)

Thanks... I'm a pretty big fan of the U-Foes as well, and I eventually plan on making the entire team.

A small update on Coulson.

And on Captain America's boots.

Slinger, the Black Widow figure does go perfect with those Hit Monkey guns. She's packin' some heat! NICE!

Great work, Olds! Looks like you have quite a few projects going, at once. The taller Cap is cool.
I've got a Coulson in the works, also. Just getting all the parts bought/ordered. I guess with the lack of new DC Universe/Infinite Earths figures, it seems like there's more of a custom Marvel figures trend going right now.

Yep that is quite a few and not even all of the things, I work like I have ADHD sometimes with switching between projects... LOL

Here is another update on my fifth Marvel Now! Captain America. This time I wanted to change up the paint a little. I decided to go a bit darker with the blues this time.

Wow you've got so many cool projects on the go right now! I can't wait to see them when they're done but they already look insane. I love seeing everything before it's all finished. It's cool to see the road to the finished customs.

Thanks: :) I kind of work like I have ADHD when I'm working on my customs. I have a ton more in my WIP box.

Speaking of that habit yesterday evening I decided to do a few quick mods to one of my extra Black Cat figures. I swapped out the heels for some flats that I bought from casting cave, and I did some repainting.

Here is another update to Cap I added a little more dry brushing to the blue areas of his uniform, and I went over the armored area with a metallic blue.
