I appreciate it.



That's all of them from the cartoon and the toy line. One of my favorites lines from my childhood. Well....it appears much quicker than it is. I'll work on multiple customs all at the same time and then spread out posting them as I do touch ups and seal them etc.



Ah the cancelled wave of Visionaries. The only additional Visionies I have planned is Cravex to got with my Cryotek, Darkstorm and Whitterquick customs and the Leoric from Hasbro. The problem with Visionaries customs is I use 25th BATS to make them and those things are big $$$$$. I've sacrificed four for Visionaries so far. If I can find some for cheap then I'll definitely add some though.

Starcom... you actually did Starcom! The helmets... tell me how.

another one i had to go look up. i kind of remember the weird little figures. you brought them all the way past good to awesome.

One of my favorite I.P.'s . Your work shows commitment and passion. Nice work.

Thanks. Yeah the cartoon was only like 12 or 13 episodes I think and I hardly remembered it. The toys were pretty cool though.



Thanks I appreciate that. The 80s project really has gotten much bigger than I had ever intended and has become pretty much the only customs I make.



The helmets are casts that Avacslab has (he is awesome btw) I just painted them once I got them. The were cast in clear.

What do you use to seal them? Vallejo by any chance?

I always used a brush on sealer Model Masters Flat or Gloss Coat depending on what I wanted to accomplish, but Model Masters is no more so I've switched to Testor Dull Coat. They also make a Gloss Coat as well. Both are brush on sealers that seem to work really well.

I decided since I was so close to having the entire line complete I would concentrate on finishing off the entire C.O.P.S. lineup with the final five.

Checkpoint





Taser





Roadblock





Heavyweight





Air Wave





And the full groups of C.O.P.S. N Crooks

_________________

those are some of the best you've shown from that line. really nice translations. you should be super proud of those group shots.

_________________

You did it! The entire COPS and CROOKS groups complete! This is more than impressive. I didn't even know they made so many characters! Truly inspiring work.

Thanks. Of all the groups they are probably my signature customs of my Best of the 80s project so glad to have all of them made.




Thanks. I appreciate it. Glad to have them all done, but setting up those group shots where everybody is posed and can be seen is a nightmare.

Just a couple of cool pictures since I picked up the vintage Bionic 6 figures

Bionic 6





Dr. Scarab's Group

I did not know about Bionic 6 until your customs, if I'm being honest. Never aired in my country. Looks cool. I noticed when it came to dealing with those transluscent parts, you just used paint instead. I've been wondering how to deal with clear figures like X-Men's Iceman or a LOTR spectre, but I see now that sometimes, painting is flat could suffice depending. Great work.

yours are so much better! you should try a scary/realistic robot ape cyborg with your custom set.
