ELECTRON
*Recipe : The base figure was an "Another Universe Wonderman" or something. I sanded down the hair and then added Das Pronto to cover the mess I did :P, and with Das Pronto I made the shoulder pads, too. The belt is a rubber band, and the hair is made with a toothpaste tube, BTW, that was the most difficult part of the process. You can see his baldy head from behind. I painted the figure with acrilycs.
TEMPEST
*Recipe : The Base figure I used was an Alpha Flight Northstar from head to toe. I dremeled down the hair he had and sculpted a new one with Das Pronto. Then painted accordingly with the reference pics I have. One thing difficult was painting his chest symbol and BTW I painted the same symbol in his back. I love how I painted this little fella.
NIGHTSIDE
*Recipe : Nightside is made using the body of an Alpha Flight Vindicator with a Street Fighter Chun Li head and Spiderwomans arms. I sculpted her hair with Das Pronto, then added the "tiara" with some wires and Das Pronto. The cape is from a Batman cut down to size. Finally, painted the whole figure with acrilyc paints. Cool huh?
MAGIC
*Recipe : This is one of my favorites, she's made with the body of an Alpha Flight Snowbird from head to toe. The cape is from a Martian Manhunter, gotta love that cape, it fits in everything you need , don't you think ?. The "hair" is made out of PVC and it was very difficult to work with. This is the most stunning paint job I ever did.
SQUORM
*Recipe : I was looking for a long time ago, some egg-shaped toy, but I had no luck back then. This guy is made using an egg-shaped plastic, it came from some kind of vending machine with little gifts in 'em, by the way it was very cheap. The legs and arms are from an Alpha Flight Puck, with lots of Das Pronto to cover details. The black cable in his right (our left) is from other figures left-overs, the same with the cables on his shoulders. I have 3 pictures of this guy, and in every picture he has different colors, so this Squorm is a combination of the 3 pics and a little freestyle.
ORACLE
*Recipe : The base body for this beauty was an Alpha Flight Aurora, with an unknown hair, maybe it is from Storm. The hand cuffs are made using Das Pronto and the Boot "cuffs" are made with toothpaste tube and the belt is a painted ribbon. I really like this one too, but I don't like the picture.
COMMANDO II
*Recipe : The body used for this guy was perfect for what I needed, I don't know the Toy line the base figure came from, but Prof. Charles Xavier was in it. The legs was from an Executioner, same with the head. I used two pieces of toothpaste tube for the elbow pad. The helmet is made using the Moagneto helmet, the googles are from Vindicator and the "mohawk" thing is an unknown material. I first spray painted the figure with dark green, then painted accordingly. I did a little bit of dry-brush with black on the figure.
