Muskrat and Mainframe

Muskrat mostly follows the Con recipe, except I used a Mouse head and cast and modded hat. I added X-23 bracers to his forearms and the sheathed machete to his right leg, along with the knife to his chest.

I've wanted to update Mainframe for awhile, my original customs seems so dated now. Use a RAH Mainframe head hollowed for the helmet, Hawk head, Mouse torso and arms with Ripcord hands. Shock Viper upper legs with Low Light lower legs. The vest is from Night Fox Retaliation version and the wrist computer from the Retaliation HISS Cobra Commander.

It is so humbling to look at your customs. These are both awesome.

Muskrat is good. It is just overshadowed by Mainframe. That is very slick looking.

Both are outstanding!

Wait - I thought of a critique.

If you take the sheet of paper behind the custom and bend it into a curve, you'll get what's called an "infinity shot" which shows the custom on a solid white background so you don't see the joins in the paper. I think that would help show off the figures and diorama stands better than a faux light box made by putting the edges of the paper together.

both do look great, but I gotta say mainframe stands out more, more a updated new look but still classic enough

Nicely executed figures! Parts and paints are top notch, bro!

yup Mainframe is killing it, great job. And muskrat is excellent as well.

I especially like the addition of the Retaliation Trooper backpack holster on Mainframe's vest.

Good stuff all'round.

These look production. Flawlessly painted and crafted.
