The Leader's Custom toys
I... customize action figures. Yeah, the babes love me. Here's some of my little kit-bashed models and toys. It isn't the greatest stuff but I like it. :3
The Wasteland Patrol: The figures are 1/35th scale, made of various kits and bits. Blue Hover-Tank: This one is 1/72nd scale, made with vehicle parts and figures from a D-Day model set. This pic is just to show the size of these pieces next to a Canadian quarter: This guy is some futuristic soldier composed of a 21st century toys body along with parts from G.I. Joe's, Star Wars figures and random parts. Star Wars Guys!!! A Sexy Sullustan: Imperial Commando: Damaged IG droid: Random Spaceman: Do you guys see anything that you think could use some improvement? Tell me what y'all think! |
these are awesome, especially the spaceman. are some of them built off of g.i. joes?

Cool.
As an aside, are you the same "The Leader" as on flickr? |
Why yes, yes I am. I haven't uploaded very many photos there yet though.
|
Hugh Hefner had he lived in the Star Wars universe:
I've also made three Watchmen figures from 25th anniversary G.I. Joe parts. The Comedian: Veidt: Rorschach: |
<3 detail work
|
Why thank you. :)
|
The Comedian looks really good. I love the Hugh Heffner one, his eyes look kind of bug-eyed or surprised. I thought you were a girl for some reason. Either way great job.
|
Hold on, we don't have to jump the gun. Just give me a minute to put a wig on and stuff my shirt.
|
I'd pay to see that.
|
I'd take it for free :love
|
:yum
|
awesome
|
Oh golly, you're all too kind.
|
If only you made a I-Mock action figures.
|
I was thinking about doing a 12 inch Evil Spiderman from 3 Dev Adam but I don't know how to sew. :(
|
I never let that stop me. Wuss.
|
I thought all you did was make food. >:
|
pfft.
If I did only one thing I'd be burned out bigtime. Just hand-stitch stuff. It's all action-figure sized anyway, right? |
Can you buy me the material? Puh-weese?
|
You can get stuff in the remnant bin anywhere they sell fabric. That's where I get all my stuff, cheap. Even Wal-Mart has remnants.
|
Psssh, remnant fabric. Naw, I need the perfect shades of green and red spandex for this.
|
And I say if you look hard enough you'll find 'em for cheap.
|
But will they be of the finest blend, made for the emperor?
|
only you can decide this.
|
thats a rad tank
|
Yeah, it's blue. :3
|
What do you think of this person's custom work?
http://www.headlesshistoricals.com/DollSale.htm If they're really getting $100 apiece for them...damn. I did shit like that to my dolls when I was little, but never tried to sell it. |
I don't know why someone would pay a hundred for those unless those outfits she made for them are AMAZING. But I don't know a lot about 12 inch stuff. I don't really pay attention to how much money people can make off of this. They're just toys to me, none of that pretentious howdy do, if you catch my drift. :conspiracy
|
I do like the Joan of Arc one.
|
I liked her more than the others because more effort seemed to be involved. Anyone can pop off a Barbie head and paint the stump red. :\
When I was much younger (junior high or thereabouts) I made a Sculpey statue of Lady Jane Grey. Someone bought it on Ebay and now it's in some big collection of Lady Jane Grey stuff somewhere. My mom made me stop doing sculptures, they were giving her nightmares. Then all the Tudor hype came along (with series like "The Tudors" and mass-marketed novels/movies like "The Other Boleyn Girl") and ruined Tudor history for me. It was bad enough that the Helena Bonham Carter/Cary Elwes "Lady Jane" movie was mooned over by a subset rivaling "Twilight" fandom, but now it's just too damn mainstream. If you notice, a huge chunk of those dolls are Tudor-era. French history had been pretty safe and then that Kirsten Dunst movie came along. Now I hear they're going after Charlotte Corday too. Most of the French-made historicals try to be accurate, but hell, put Marie Antoinette in Converse All-Stars and have her dance to "I Want Candy", why the hell not. >: |
This may sound very geeky, but I can identify you used a Sherman, a DUKW landing craft, and some Truck parts for your 1/72 model. And probably even an aircraft cockpit. I love the whole mix-mash of it ^.^
I also love the Wasteland Patrol, probably made of Standard Wehrmacht units with guns form another kit. I love the menacing gas masks! The rest, superb work. good job sir ^.^ |
You are right on the blue tank! The Wasteland Patrol legs and helmets were indeed from Wehrmacht, but the arms, torsos and heavily modded heads were from some SWAT/GSG 9 figures and the guns are cut down laser rifles from GI Joe ARAH. :)
|
Hey, those are great mate. I really like them. I think that instead of painting two colours right next to each other (The Comedian's shirt/skin for example) you should paing a dividing colour between the two. Black shirt, maybe a grey dividing line, then the flesh colour.
|
Or a darker black, maybe. Or just a different black. IDEAS! :D
|
they look good dude, really nice. especially like the rorschach.
|
Thank you, honey. ;/
|
|
|
Are those based on anything or is it all your imagination?
|
It's all from my imagination. Except for the last one. :o
|
Cool and tantalising.
|
Zhukov, you charmer you.
|
Yes, ok, posting them again just to get attention I see, :rolleyes but good nonetheless.
|
I COVERED THAT IN THE OTHER THREAD IT IS ROGER'S FAULT BLAME HIM FOR TURNING ME INTO A WHORE
|
:tear
|
YOU GOT THAT FROM YOUR MOTHER.
|
>:
|
WHY ARE YOU POSTING THESE FIGURES EVERYWHERE?
YOU'RE SUCH A WHORE. >: |
YOU MADE ME THIS WAY
|
We've been over this The Leader. "Roger" isn't real, he is just the voice you hear in your head when you get scared. Roger is not a real person so you should stop listening to him.
You have to take responsibility for being a whore yourself. |
It's the fault of a society which places achievement and recognition above talent and humanism, Zhukov, you fink.
|
Such a tortured mind :(
Talented in an artistic way, but yet unable to function normally in modern society. A wasted life, one could say. |
As they say, a life well wasted is a life well spent ^.^
Also you could prolly make some moneys from those figs $_$ |
|
I admire your art the most. Not that everyone else sucks, just that your heart really shines though.
|
That's damn cool.
|
You two are so sweet. :)
|
I like the little details you put into it (like the label partially missing where the dents [which I assume must be battle damage] are)
|
Is that a Turkish space marine?
|
Why wouldn't it be a Turkish space marine? :eek
|
Hell yeah new Leader guys are out.
|
|
That's cool. Did you paint it?
|
Yes, it's a model kit. ;/
|
You should make a Turkish Batman, that'd be awesome.
Edit: Holy shit, that's an actual thing! :O Rog, get your ass on reviewing this bad boy. |
Holy shit, exposed boobs in a Turkish movie?
|

|
Clearly that model is not finished.
|
I made a short film without using much money. ;>
|
I remember seeing about this. I OUGHTA WARCH IT
|
was that a wihelm scream I heard about 5 and a half minutes in?
|
Indeed it was, good sir.
|
I painted some spider maquettes for lighting reference on the Mandalorian a few years ago. |
