Just to reiterate: you get 1 raffle ticket per photo of your custom, how easy is that?   Awesome!

Some rules/guidelines for the images:

1. make sure that your photo is well lit and in focus - the idea is to show your custom in as much detail as possible, macro photography is a must here.
2. please do not post images wider than 600 pixels
3. you can submit more than one photo of one custom (to show more detail), but they will only count as 1, in other words, you won't get 5 raffle tickets for 5 different photos of the same custom  Wink!
4. it might be a good idea to photograph your custom against plain background or outdoors where there won't be too many distractions nearby.
5. your custom does not need to be a full figure, it can be something as simple as, for example, a modified jacket or hair.



Please note that this thread is for posting images only (plus any explanations about the custom), but please don't post comments.

Custom WILD ARMS Hair
« Reply #1 on: Oct 26, 07 at 02:57 »

Hair custom combining Wild Arms and RM Caine hair pieces.

Supplies:
Scissors.
Xacto knife (#11 blade in medium handle).
Super Glue (Loc-Tite "All Plastics" Super Glue).
RM Caine back hair with hat.
Wild Arms hair, front and back.

This simple custom hairstyle is made from RM Caine's hat and the Wild Arms hair. I used a sharp Xacto knife to trim the existing hair from around the rim of the hat, leaving a smooth edge all the way around. I used scissors to cut the round yellow disk out of the back section of the Wild Arms hair. I cut exactly around the disk. Then I super-glued the hair piece to the underside of the hat, lining up the cut-out segment of the hair along the inside edge of the white rim of the hat.

The front hair was more challenging. I had to trim the center "beads" section of the hair with the Xacto so it would slip under the rim of the hat. If I were to do this again, I think I could get a better fit, but this time I found it necessary to glue the front hair in place.

Custom Bare Feet and Short Shorts
« Reply #2 on: Oct 26, 07 at 03:00 »

Short-shorts combination using Tsukihime Arc and Wild Arms pieces.

Supplies:
Xacto knife (#11 blade in medium handle).
Super Glue (Loc-Tite "All Plastics" Super Glue).
Wild Arms Denim cut-off shorts.
Tsukihime Arc legs with bare feet.

I changed out the legs on the Wild Arms short shorts to make this sassy little custom. The original left leg can be removed from the Wild Arms shorts by gently pulling and twisting, since it's a glue-and-peg joint. It's actually inset a bit, so the hem of the shorts completely hides the seam!

The right leg has to be cut; I tried to be careful and incise the cut without damaging the frayed hem of the shorts.

The legs are from Tsukihime Arc cut off close to the hip at an angle matching that of the legs removed from the shorts.

Apply a drop of super glue, then jam 'em in there and hold 'til it sets! You'll end up with an invisible seam, if you're careful with your cuts!

This was the easiest, and most "factory original" looking modification I've done!

Street Fighter Arms Mod

A low-key modificiation: Street Fighter top with RM arms. So subtle you don't even notice it! Cool, huh?

Click here to see a similar "invisible" modification to the blue Street Fighter top.

Supplies:
Xacto knife (#11 blade in medium handle).
Super Glue (Loc-Tite "All Plastics" Super Glue).
RM Caine or Nazuna top.
Street Fighter top.

1. Using the Xacto knife, carefully remove the arms from the RM top where they meet the sleeves. You will need to carefully cut between the hands, as they are slightly joined where they meet behind the figure.
2. Use the Xacto knife to carefully remove the arms from the Street Fighter top where they meet the sleeves.
3. Use a tiny drop of super glue, as the directions on the package indicate, to affix the RM arms to the Street Fighter top. Hold in place for 30 seconds until set.
4. Voila! All done!

Additionally... the "boxing gloves" on the Street Fighter "punching" arms may be sanded down or the color can be stripped off with acetone. The arms can be glued onto the RM top, creating an RM top with more versatile arm positions. (See the pink-haired figure in this photo.)

Whoo, I hope I know what I'm talking about.

Supplies I used:

Sandpaper (various grades)
Super sculpey clay
Acrylic paints
Pinky and Gundam markers
and a clear, matte finishing spray.

This being my first custom, I was clueless with where to start.

It's hard to tell, but the eyes are indeed entirely repainted. It was too cold to do a good closeup of them, but I will make a tutorial next time I paint eyes, when I'm more confident.

This whole figure was one big experiment. I sanded down the original eyebrows and redrew them, and the hair and dress are both repaints.

When I started modeling the top piece, I actually removed the arms. I'm not very happy with the paintjob, but I'll just sand it down and redo it later if I feel. (or make a new one, I bought a spare of that top). Sculpey actually bakes pretty well on pinky figures, as I didn't go overtime. I then sanded it all down and repainted everything, and then superglued the arms back on.

The main disapointment was I had bought a pearlizing medium for her armor, so it was initially shiny, but when I added the matte spray, it lost all the shine it had. I think next time, I will try and spraypaint the top.. ^^;

Phoenix Wright!  I sculpted his hair and modified the top into a shirt and suit with epoxy putty.  Sanded, and painted with acrylic paint, then sealed with MSC and gloss and matt varnish  Heart

Noda Megumi of Nodame Cantabile
« Reply #10 on: Nov 02, 07 at 13:32 »

Noda Megumi of Nodame Cantabile

Supplies:
1 Athena Face
1 Rei Ayanami Back hair
1  Sleeveless shirt (from Kokoro)
1 Long Skirt (from Reina)
1 Bear Mask from sitting Yukata set
1 bag
Epoxy Putty
Paints

Creating Nodame was such a thrill. She's one of my favorite characters in manga, so finally, with the right pieces, I started on Nodame.

( Head Modifications )
For the head, I repainted Athena's eyes brown. Since the manga Nodame has solid brown eyes, I painted her eyes brown with one dot of highlight at the bottom, a standard Nodame touch. The Rei back hair is painted brown. The front piece was made from scratch. The trick with the front hair is follow the curve of the face and then add those silly fly away strands at the end. Also keep her bangs layered. There are times when Nodame has bangs and doesn't, so it's good to capture Nodame's layered bangs as well.  Big Grin

(Mongoose Mask)
Repaint the bear mask to light yellow and when it's dry, over lap it with the mongoose details.

(Piano bag)
It's just one of those tote bags. I believe Rui's. Painted it black and then used marker to create the piano details.

(Empire dress)
Tis dress custom is something inspired from one of the Pinky:st books. It's basically the long skirt cut to midlength and the sleeveless top glued on the dress. I then placed putty to even out the middle part. to make it an empire cut, I made the breast area slightly bigger (instant plastic surgery! XD) and made creases at the bottom to create the illusion that it's tightened under the breast area. After it dried, I just repainted it and voila! It also has a loose ribbon at the back. But that's to your discretion.

EVA Yukatas

This is a Yukata set based on one of the coolest figure artists in Japan, Okama. He made a summer Yukata set for Rei and Asuka and they were the cutest! I thought of recreating it for my EVA pinkies.  Sparkle!

Supplies:
1 Sitting Yukata
1 Standing Yukata
Primer
Paints
Top Coat

I basically did little modifications to the pinkies. It's really just a repaint. I followed the pattern that Okama had for his Yukata set. See the original Yukata pattern, here

Haruhi hair front
« Reply #12 on: Nov 02, 07 at 13:48 »

Uhmmm yes! It's a Haruhi hair front! Inspired by Haruhi's headband.

Supplies:
1 Athena front piece (I obviously ripped her apart, didn't I)
Paint
Sandpaper
Xacto knife

To make the headband, just sand down the stars at the side. There are some parts of the stars that stood out so I just chipped those with an xacto knife and sanded it down til it's smooth. I repainted the hair brown and colored the headband yellow. Yay!  Victory Dance!
