Well, it's been two years since I've updated my Custom's webpage. Finally tackled that this week. A lot of the stuff has been shown, but I do have several that haven't been shown. To check all of them out, go here

Also, I've set up a wordpress account to make it easier to post new customs. Also did new artwork for this page too

Now to the new customs. These are all commissions. Some were finished in the summer, some in the fall, and some last week. They have all been in the works for nearly 1-1/2 years, so finally glad to have them finished.

First ones are the USS Flagg crew I did for Mutt

Next were customs done for martin-montreal

Last but not least is a custom I did for Spartan

Thanks for looking!

Very tight camo on Repeater and the last guy (who is that?).
I also like the Flagg crew firefighter very much.

Wow, I just checked all the new(er) customs. I must say, they're all impressive. Top favorites are:
Anthrax, Steampunk SS's 3-in-one walking stick, and Fury Force Steeler.

Oh, and the Adventure Team All Terrain Support Unit doesn't work.

I love to see new stuff from you and Chad. Everything is flauless as usual. I've really missed seeing updates from you guys.

Those are superb. The paints look better than hasbro could manage.

Flagg Team 2 is as impressive as the first.

The twins look really nice in the black gold and silver. It is just different enough to get my attention.

The only negative critique at all is Torpedo's neck. Obviously the torso made it impossible to hide that cut line. In cases where I can't hide the line I will paint the neck ball so it just looks like a shirt. For a character like torpedo who may be wearing a wetsuit on underneath that would certainly make sense. Just throwing that out there so you're not always trying to do a flesh matching search.

Thanks. I really love these and one of these days need to finish mine (still haven't done red or white) and would love to add a second set.

I'm very happy with these, and think they will work well with the Crimson Shadow Guard

Agreed. The neck is still almost too skinny. Probably should've thickened up the neck since I had to mod it anyway. I think I sat on this custom for a year before I finished it, so at that point I just wanted to get it out the door. Plus the client was happy :D

I don't remember seeing the Tele-Viper before, though I think I had seen the deck crew. They're all great, but the TV steals the show. Is it a Crimson TV, I guess?

These are actually all new Flagg Crew members. Very similar to my original though. The Tele-Viper is a Crimson Strike Team version. I tried to match the colors as close as possible, and the color scheme was dictated by martin-montreal

Immpresive work.

Very clean and crisp work, as always.

Excellent use of the Corps and Astro-Viper heads.

Wow, very nicely done.

The USS Flagg Crew makes so much sense. The fact that you have different color uniforms for all the different crews makes a lot of sense, if I am not mistaken that is how the flight crews on US Aircraft Carriers distinguish each other.

The camo on Repeater and the last custom is fantastic. I have to ask what color brown you used in that camo, my brown never seems to be just right.

The new look for the twins is a nice change. Amazing what a simple color change can do.

You are right on. Here is a great site that I used for reference http://www.navy.mil/navydata/ships/carriers/rainbow.asp

I think the brand is Apple Barrell, but I can't remember. It is one of the cheap-o brands. I think it is Burnt Umber, but I'm not 100% sure. I'll have to check.
