I don't really like the term "strange", I guess I should say "out of the ordinary"? Something that doesn't really fit with the usual stuff you see on here....something not military or sci-fi related. Mine (sorry for the poor picture) is Trent Reznor from his "Closer" video. Why did I do it? I dunno, love the video and his music and I just kind of stumbled across some parts that thought, "Hey, this kind of looks like Trent Reznor" and went with it.

How about the rest of you?

I made a late 90s Madonna figure for my girlfriend at the time who was a big Madonna fan.

I like what I can see of him! what parts did you use? I started making a marylin manson, but got sidetracked and never came back to him. I also started 3 or 4 versions of Michael Jackson. none of those are weird for me :) check out my customs in the gallery with the button on the bottom of my posts :)

lee Harvey Oswald might be the strangest, or George bush the cia assassin......both from a GP.

For the Hama challenge I couldn't figure out how to do something that felt encompassing of Hama's large body of work. He's done a lot. So instead I tried to do a custom that had a little bit of everything. Not my normal route for a character custom and a lot of wierd modifications I've never used since.

Steampunk isn't in my wheelhouse, but the thought of a bodyless Order and a Constable Law was too good to pass up...but mainly it is the bodyless Order.

Show of hands, who has used a raquetball for a custom figure? Just me?

These are all great! Pluv, I especially like the Steam Punk and Pac-Man.

2DARK, I LOVE the Oswald/Bush duo....I don't think I've ever seen anyone tackle either of those!

And yes, I have to apologize for the small photo, I really need to sign up with that photo hosting site you mentioned. As for what I used...The head is from a Dollar General Grunt (or was it Hawk?), the arms, I'm not sure of. The hands came from a Stormshadow, legs-Rise of Cobra Dr. Rex (yeah I had one, but already used his coat on a prior custom years ago :lol: ). The upper body, I'm not sure of that either and is mostly irrelevant as I sculpted over it. The net tank-top was a bit of gauze that was dyed the color you see using watered down acrylic paint.

Would you happen to have pictures, I'd love to see them!

And I hope this will work, I signed up to a free image hosting site, this is my first attempt at using it.

*edit* Looks like it worked! Man, the spots under his hair that didn't get painted really stick out. :(

It's funny you should mention "hung from the ceiling". I would really like to recreate that scene from the video and actually suspend the figure from the air and have it spinning....film that little bit and make it into a gif.

it would be worth it !

I haven't made very many video projects. someone else took "2DARK2C" on youtube, and I didn't research before picking my screenname (it is also a rap studio) the longer videos were a lot of work, but I enjoy them..
