Dr Leg O'Brick's Superhero Customs

Recommended Posts

Hello! Where applicable, I will add credit to those I got my ideas from, some might be similar to some around, and for that I apologise. I came under fire here on EB awhile back now, where it was said I hadn't contributed much and I was primarily a collector and all I was doing was sitting on my rear adding nothing. Although that was all cleared up, it stuck with me, so, since then, I've been less active here and I've been spending my time taking photos of my customs/MOCs/MODs. Be kind on me, some of these I made after I came out of hospital, using a bucket of spares, a pair of scissors, some felt tip pens, Crayola crayons, comic pricing stickers and some "reference material", some of them might be a bit dodgy in other words.

So, enough of my life story, most will be Marvel, I might have an odd DC/2000AD later on. So without further ado, here's the pics, feedback would be great if you have any:

I love your Banshee....simple but effective! Not sure about your Cannonball tho....I've been trying to do one of him for ages but I just can't seem to get it right. It's bugging me.

Thank you both for your comments! To start, Rosalind14, I 100% agree with you. I've had about ten different heads for Cannonball and he's had about three different torsos. I'm only sold on the legs. I've seen some great customs of his New Mutants appearance, but with mine I was going after his later look, blue and white with a jacket over the top with flying goggles. I've found that, no matter how many times you think you have the right head, it looks wrong with the rest of him.

Im a brickmaster, the legs are these:

I'll be adding my Avengers and some of my villains tonight I hope, so stay tuned...

It's frustrating, isn't it! I'm trying - TRYING - to get a Cannonball v Gladiator scene going on but it's verging on driving me insane!! It's one of my favourite scenes in comic book history but I'm just not happy with it.

I have to say, I 100% love your Fastball special....brilliant. If I had a hat, i'd take it off to you! Interesting Quicksilver torso too!

Thank you! Good luck on your scene, and as a special treat, here's a sneak peek at my next batch:

Gladiator

13043364065_a449346250_z.jpg

Quicksilver was my first custom, I hand drew the bolts, then used a craft knife to cut them out. And I'm really happy you like my fastball special, I can't wait to get the upcoming brown costume Wolverine and re make that pic. Thanks as always!

Thanks! The cape was hand made out of a Valentines card envelope, while the legs come from the Olympic GB weightlifter, the head from the CMF S6 Genie and the Mohawk from the CMF S10 Tomahawk warrior. The rest are run-of-the-mill stuff. I look forward to seeing yours sometime if you get around to it. I have six/seven teams left to post, including most of the Imperial Guard, plus some "non team players".

Thanks! I've been trying to find a use for the clone trooper fabric shoulder piece for a while now. And now for something completely different.... I was planning to post my Iron Man figs but, as a detour, I decided to post a team close to my heart I've worked on for a good long while, the original Guardians Of The Galaxy.

13164448253_3990bb75da_z.jpg

Major Victory

Still working on this one, I plan on getting two Hydra Tanks when the price has come down, and with the extra Cap I plan on upgrading this figure. The energy shield is a place holder at the moment as well.
