Hello All,

I'm fairly new to the whole customizing action figure world, I come from a miniature wargaming background. But I have been collecting toys my whole life. Having both hobbies got pretty expensive so I decided to focus on one and still use elements of the other,1:18 scale won. I would love to hear what you experts think of my work. These figures will take part in a game I've been thinking of.

This is a continuation of my post, these are a collection of Gangsters. I plan to use them in a game or as enemies for my Captain America and Bucky figure. They also look good next to the Joker.

Please let me know what you think

Hello again, this is the final part of my customs post. This is a cobra infantry officer I dreamed up, inspiration came from the Gettysburg and Gods and Generals films as well as a few articles I read about neo-confederates. I understand it's a delicate issue in the United states so I hope not to offend anyone, I'll plead ignorance as I'm from Australia!

Again I hope to read some constructive feedback

p.s. the flash on the camera makes the grey appear lighter than it is.

Welcome to the board!

Nice work on all of your stuff. You're certainly transitioning from one scale to another with ease.

Can't wait to see more of your art.

Johnny Reb is one cool custom, looks better than factory.

Good use of that Mutt Williams head, looks like a rookie Army Medic, nice job on him.

The gangsters are a fun lot. Nice job of picking parts to capture the feel for the era. That said, Johnny Reb is my favorite. A really well put together custom.

Gangsters look great man...nice to see a fresh idea.
I agree, good use of the Mutt head...he looks new and as if he has never been in combat.
I picture him throwing up at the sign of blood

Thank you so much for your feed-back, it means a lot coming from you all! I must admit Johnny is my favorite too.

Really liking the looks of all of these.

Your Destro suited gangster could make a cool-looking Headman (if such a thing is possible) with the right head.

the Gangsters are Awesome!!!

I love the different contrast in the looks.. especially the fat one.. he could almost be a Dick Tracy Villain!
