Yeah, all of these are fantastic, but the Spirit and the COIL Crusher are my faves.

I agree that red ninja Jinx would probably look even better with her proper head.

Great work.

Those are some really great customs, but i think Big Boa needs a flesh tone wash, awesome paint apps, excellent work and imagination, hands down fantastic.

Warwolf does look like Harry, or Chewie's JCW brawler cousin. It is hard to make that head anything else but Chewbacca for me.

I found out that chewbaccas and other wookiees make great bigfoots, sasquatches, yetis, etc.

wow great job on all of them but i have to say spirit is the best of the bunch.

Thanks for all of the kind words gents!

The abominations went over surprisingly well. I am gonna go with red briefs for Monstro after the suggestion made by pluv. I wanted to give him yellow eyes but I suck at that.

Here are a couple more that I finished over the weekend and a brighter pic of Spirit and I switched out the head on Jinx. Lemme know what you y'all think.

Overlord:

Deep Sea Cross Country: After getting into noodling, Cross Country realized he needed to go deep for the big'uns. So he volunteered for the next deep sea mission and got issued the suit from G.I. Joe. He went on the one mission and has yet to volunteer for anymore missions in the deep, but he's got the biggest catch at the noodling tournament.

Jinx with a new head:

Really nice customs. I like COIL Crusher and Overlord the best. They're all great though. Really nice detailing on Deep Sea Cross Country.

You know I'm a sucker for your Cross Country customs. This is no exception.

The new head on Jinx is a definitive improvement. Really love how it looks now.

pluv · **Posted:** Mon Aug 06, 2007 6:23 pm

Overlord loooks great. You did a good job of combining his figure and DDP appearance.

Deep Country is awesome. You made another winner with him. I now challenge your Cross Country Commandos to take on Nova's Crystal Army.

Jinx looks much better with that head.

Great work on everything, but that Overlord is fantastic. I really like the mods to the head and that helmet is perfect for him.

The turn out of your Overlord figure is amazing!! I'm lovin' it

The colors are a great blend, and the pieces are disturbingly useful! I mean, it's rather difficult to manage a functional recipe using that Slice torso! And Destro legs? YUK!! That boot modification made em look great!! I'll be stealing that idea for sure!
But the accessories are what brought my attention to this figure! Great combination on the cape and shoulder pads! Looks like they fit well on the figure too. But it's the helmet that 'makes' this character so damn incredible!!

:interrogator:

*what is the source material for the helmet?*

:overlord:

????????.........Hmmmmmmmmm?
Great work AVE!

Thanks for all of the compliments and for the help on making my work better.

Yes that Slice torso is extremly hard to find uses for.

And now to finally answer your helmet question, the helmet is from Revenge Of The Sith Utapaun Warrior. I honestly have no idea why I originally bought the figure, it might have been just for the helmet. The rest of him kind of sucks bad.

And just for reference, the boots came from Revenge Of The Sith Saesee Tiin. I bought that one figuring the head would come in handy. Still go tthe head in my parts box, didn't realize he had such a nice surprise under his skirt. 8-O

Man, that's all such nice stuff. Too bad I've already got plans for the SS Beasts I've got, or else I'd totally steal those ideas.

Warwolf just kicked me in the junk...

Man, that is awesome, and personally, I think the idea of dying Beast black and calling him Monstro Viper is such an obviously awesome idea, I am suprised that it hasn't been done before (at least not to my knowledge).

Well done!

I totaly agree...I love your Abominations...I got a number of Beasts for $3 each when they showed up at BigLots and KB...Just haven't gotten to tossing them in the dye pot.

Midgets aren't a bad thing to have multiples of either...

I think it was Cheif getting the 12 ML beast and asking about it that got me thinking Beasts would make a great Monstro Vipver...Seeing your Iguanus Makes me wish I'd bought more Venoms... What brand paint did you use on him? How well did the MLS figs take dye? any problems with heat warping?

One way to change up the look of Chewe's head would be to make his eyes bigger...you know a lot bigger...like bug eyes or somthing...

DAMN! That Overlord turned out fantastic. After seeing the WIP in the other thread, I was jazzed to see the completed product...and you more definitely delivered. Totally awesome. And I have to agree with everyone else, Jinx looks a lot better with that head.
