Really liking Giant Man and the Wasp.

Wasn;t sold on them until I saw them with their giant and tiny counterparts. Excellent attention to detail.

Seeing the Giant Man and Lil Wasp versions totally makes those customs.

Hawkeye I think I'd love if he were purple. Right now he's giving off a Red Arrow/Arsenal vibe.

I agree with this. I think purple would sell him easier as Hawkeye.

I'm not sure about the Thunderhawk. It has some cartoony edges that doesn't quite work. Don't get me wrong the custom is fantastic and the paint is perfect, but the base vehicle is off in my eyes.

What's the head for Wasp? I could use a few of them.

p.s. what do people think of the Thunderhawk? I've included a pic of what it originally looked like if you're curious

Like others have said, I think it needs a bit more. The 1st thing I would consider is Racing Stripes...I'm pretty sure I've seen a repro-lables like set for the Thunderhawk...so you should be able to find or buy scans of the original "digitized" Stripes.

The 2nd place I'd make changes is in the Front Grill..as is I think it's just too Licked over...it's just sooo smooth like melting ice cream... If you can find a new front end to mash on...or cut in some headlight and grill holes I think it'd help.

Hey guys thanks again for the feedback, I really appreciate it here are some response to your comments:

I appreciate the feedback on the thunder-hawk; I agree it does look plain, I'll have a look to see what decals I can add, I also need to add some weapons I think.

as for the Hawkeye figure, I'll add an image below so you can see what the 'ultimate' version looks like, that' what this figure is loosely based on, maybe it'll change your mind :-D

Hey, the head for Wasp is a power girl head from the DC Universe line

Just finished painting my 'ant man' version of Giant man, like I mentioned earlier my 'Joe' Giant man is like the Avengers earth's mightiest heroes Giant man in that he can become huge or tiny at will.

I used a Warhammer 40k catachan jungle fighter body, I sculpted the arms and added hands and a head (heavily modified) from the warhammer line. These are all left over from my 'miniature days'. I think I'm going to stick with the blue uniform for giant man. Still trying to figure out what to do with the Thunderbird...

Let me know what you think

You'd wanna convert this into a Mask vehicle. Good luck with the customs, man.

Thanks for the suggestion Mirage-armor, but it really doesn't transform into anything. That's why I liked the Ben 10 vehicle. Besides I can't seem to be able to find any iron man vehicles here in OZ :verymad:

What do you guys think of ant man?

Just another update, a better pic of ant-man and a picture of all three of them!

I like them all, but my only crits would be what Spin said about hawkeye needing to be purple to make him look less like Arsenal/Red Arrow, even though he's red in the comics.
And what others have said about the TH needing some black and silver trim.

Other than that, all fantastic customs.
