[Fourth Heir]

Thanking you

Ooh! Is that a cat on the tie too?

'tis indeedy

[dalek gor]

I finally have a lot of contributions for this thread!

I will start off with the Dalek Ironside as the photo way back was real bad!



"Would you care for some tea?"

I repainted the sandbags round the body a lighter brown to make them look more war-like as the dark brown really didn't do it justice for me

now, for a few more recent ones!

When I got the Character Building Cyberman 5 pack from Argos last week, the cyberleader had his eyes way too low down, so I decided to re-do them! (also making a black mark on the brain in the process but that will hopefully be rectified shortly!) I used black and silver sharpie for this one:



"You will become like us"

and now! I am so thrilled to finally bring you a Work In Progress picture of Inspector Javert in his prison outfit from Toulon! I already got given the Soliloquy variant as a birthday present last year:



"Who is this man?"

So once I had this one I had to try the other outfit that I loved! The Toulon Prison outfit!

Here is the real one:



Now, I started this a while back, I cut the 5th Doctor's coat to shape:







Those lapels were hellish to remove!

Then after about 2 months, I finally decided to start sculpting!

today I did his belt!





As you can see I am using the Third Doctor's booted legs for this one!

I also took some time to fill in the gaps where the jacket fit on the torso as I had no need for them anymore:



and just for fun I put together all I have so far to give you an idea of what he will look like:



so breaking it down for you I am using:

John Hart's head
The Third Doctor's Body
The Sixth Doctor's Arms
The Third Doctor's Legs
The Fifth Doctor's Coat
and milliput.

And for a comparison and an excuse to put the three Miz figures together for a shot:



And that's it, what do you all think? I'm really liking it so far!

Looking really cool! Like what you're doing with the costumes, lots of detail!

[The Professor]

Wow, I'm really impressed! Very detailed. I think it's especially impressive once you consider the starting point, and how you've changed them into enitrely new costumes/people.

[DalekSupreme08]

Yeah, I agree with the guys above. Great detail!

[The Professor]

Bit of a custom, but not exactly. It's Nick Cutter in a coat, pretending to be a Thal.

[dalek gor]

Thank you for the great comments

glad you both like him!

more progress has just been made, I decided to make use of the leftover dark brown I had from my Shakespeare (which I unfortunately had to destroy as it really wasn't holding together very well

So I painted the belt (will go over the buttons in silver sharpie when this is dry) and also as this Javert is a younger version of the soliloquy, I have given him dark brown hair, as he is no longer an old man




EDIT - Just saw your Nick Cutter Thal Professor! That's ingenious!

[Fourth Heir]

Looks like Javert is off to a promising start

...and since I picked up the Androzani two-pack over the weekend, it seemed a fine excuse to recreate a certain scene using my "final moments" 5th doctor...

[a64]

Veeeery good - and not an Adric in sight!

Like the backdrop, very subtly done.

[The Professor]

Really cool Fourth Heir. Very good positioning.

On another note - 4000th post in the Customs thread!

[Fourth Heir]

Adric's ghostly features will appear swirling around the screen momentarily Thanking you both!

[dalek gor]

more updates! I bought some dark blue and silver citadel paints, and found the stuff I used for primer on my Dalek Inquisitor General custom.

Javert's legs are more or less completed! I have also gone over the belt in the primer as his belt only looks brown in some pictures (a mistake many people make) The inside of the coat is now that light grey colour, just need some superglue and some more milliput, then I can set to work on more of him (Superglue the coat to the torso, mould the front and necktie and also buttons on the sleeves, front and back, then mould the folded back bits of the coat and also need to put some moulding inside too!)
















hope you like so far The only thing I'm not happy with is the hair, it's too shiny currently and also not sure how to get rid of the pockets on the jacket or whether to just mould over them

[dalek gor]

double post

This really is not a figure custom so probably shouldn't be in here...











Really couldn't resist sharing this here!

[dalek gor]

well, I find Stanley Knives amazing! I had to remove Ainley's Hair so I could mold a wig over the top and after a few severed fingers this was the result:









I know what you're thinking, I'm mad!

I also attempted to cut Davison's coat, into a tailcoat, I had it perfect, then I cut more off and ruined it





Can you tell what it is yet?

[dalek gor]

I have decided that my future Les Mis/Phantom figures will NOT be poseable, it is very difficult to make them posable and plus, I don't play with any of my figures anymore, I display them and for this reason, Javert will be a static figure, I plan to have him brandishing his stick and I might even create some sort of a display stand for him.

I think I will make at least the main cast members of Les Mis and Phantom of the Opera, which will all be static.
