This is a figure I would never have done, but Justice League Generation Lost is one of my favorite DC titles right now. It has made one of the characters I used to hate into a great new DC revamp.

This one is at a point where I am fine with it for my display, but I still consider it a WIP.

I would like to add the horizontal tank across the back shoulders and the neck piece but will not do so until I find two pieces that work well.

Lookin good. Great job on the head!!!! Can't wait to see the finished product. This is a character that has really been rebooted beautifully. I love the Red now in Generation lost. I have to agree one of the best series in DC right now.

Would you mind discussing your process a little? Or if you have in the past, maybe a link to that. Are these figs "playable"? Is the white coat a primer? How do you prep the joints?

Thanks for the post! I have really tweaked my process over the last 2 years. For my collection puposes I make the figures so that they look closest to the character I want and for single pose display so I sacrafice playability for accuracy.

I use green stuff for any sculpting and before painting any part swaps that I do include workable joints for the most part.

I prime all my customs with Flat White Krylon Spray. Depending on how heavy I go with the coating determines how the joints respond. If you just do a quick, light cover then the joints can still be moved without chipping.

I recently switched from Americana and Apple Barrel paints to the Reaper brand. Reaper applies much more smoothly and allows more joint play.

Marvel Universe is my major base line for my customs.

I would consider most of my customs more as Mini Statues than Figures.

Hope this helps. Any specific questions, feel free to pm me.
Will

Is this the same Red Rocket from the 80's Justice League or another character in a sleeker costume/suit? Great figure.

Man Will as always your paint apps are outstanding. That Titanium man is an awsome base for any figure you wan to create with some size to him. Great work so far.
