Here is something I did because I did not like the original vinyl figure. The original Gutsman figure, only had 3-4 points of articulation. I wanted a Gutsman that could look like he was throwing the huge boulders, so I redid him with better joints. I used the same LEGO joints that I did when I made my Custom Airman figure. I love this figure a lot more now that it can do more. The only other thing that I want to do is to make the figures and hands movable, but I haven't found the right parts to make it look correct.

Let me know what you think, and as always, constructive criticism is always appreciated.
Boredom can drive a person to create a lot of interesting things. Here is something that I made when I was bored at work on day. I think it came out pretty cool, and at least it is recognizable. Check out more pictures at My Flickr Page
Addiction comes in many forms, but one is a really lame game that I have come to love. Animal crossing is a very cute and very addictive game for the collector. The whole point of the game is to collect furniture and other things to fill your house. I am an avid pack rat, so this game is really fun for me.
I thought that I would turn my addiction into something creative to show off my love of this game. I used an 8" egg qee and a 2.5" bear qee to create these customs. I wanted to make it look like I stenciled the characters on, so I did not outline any of them.
I have posted a bunch of pictures on My Flickr if you would like to see more.
As always, I love to hear comments, and any critiques would be greatly appreciated. I am planning on updating everyday this week, so keep an eye out of my website.
Here is my latest custom of Mario, Princess Peach and Toad action figures. They look a little creepy, and the Princess ended up being a little too albino, but I think they were decent for only my second attempts at action figures. The Princess was the hardest, because I had to get the face just right, and I don't think I did a great job, but for now it will do. Check out the rest of the pics at My Flickr Page.
Here is my custom Airman figure. A couple of weeks ago, a video showed up on youtube that showed someone who made one from a Gundam model and an electric motor. I couldn't afford the parts to recreate his efforts, so I decided to try to make one with thing that I had lying around the house, which happened to be a crap load of Lego bricks.
Using Mighty Putty and super glue, I was able to create this figure. Check out all the pictures at My Flickr Page
I know the idea isn't exactly original, but I think it came out decent. If you have any comments or criticisms, let me know. Thanks
I have actually had the Mario finished for a while now, but it has taken me a while to get the hammers made. I thought the munny form well suited Mario in this form. Not much to say about this except that I made the hammers from scratch, which was a real pain. I used acrylic paint, mighty putty for the hammers, epoxy putty for the Mario sculpt, and an old plastic Easter egg for the shell. Check out more pictures at My Flickr Page.
