My name's Jakob Westman, I started customizing (without thinking
of it in those terms) just last year (2001) when I got the Vinyl
Hellboy statue. The statue was based on a drawing by the Japanese
artist Katuya Terada and as much as I admire his art I didn't
like his depiction of HB
with just one horn cut off. So... I cut off the other too and
painted the stump as well as repainting the eyes wich were white
instead of the trademark yellow.
I live in Sweden, was born '75 and work as a graphic designer.
2001 also saw the birth of my first Playmobil customs. They
were heavily influenced by a Hellboy Playmobil Robert Martin
had done. I did mine in much the same style and added a few
of Hellboy's pals and enemies.
This set of ten Playmobil is now owned by Hellboy creator Mike
Mignola who showed interest in getting a set after I had completed
the first four figures.
These figures were all made from existing Playmobil figures.
I sanded them down, added features with "Green Stuff",
"White Milliput", keychains and whatnot ;) and finally
repainted them with Citadel Games Workshop colors. Most figures
are still articulated.
The box was bought as is (without the foampadding) and then
I painted on the logo with acrylics and bought dark grey foampadding
and made the cutouts by hand.
