Well guys, this is my first mod ever. Let me know what you all think.

no, just no

It looks creepy but I like it. Good Job! You cut off his arm and re-glued it right?

ya the craftsmanship is good, but i would be good without the cigar and the scar, but i like how u added the little cut in the ear

Wow. Dark Trigger Happy is right. That's freaky. I'd pay to see the showdown.

Thanks. TH has always been one of my favs, but he needed some attitude. I was also going to give him a tat, but thought better of it. All told it took about 9 hours. Yes, I cut both arms off, trimmed them a bit, repositioned them and reatached. Also, you can't tell in the picture, but the scar is cut into his face, not just painted on. It just feels like his in game phrases would be something like a dry "heh", and maybe a low derisive chuckle. Lol

90's XTRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEMEEEE

I LOVE it tht I would buy if they sold I lik the cigar and everything but the scar was slightly a lil much

He's awesome. Who are you going to do next? I like how you repositioned his arm.

Why is it the people doing this are the ones with little to no skill?

didn't want to be the first guy to say it but...
interesting idea, not very good execution. you probably need to sand the figure down before painting him, he came out too glossy and there's lots of color overlap

I think people need to take their time doing this, use the right paint and the right brushes, and don't paint outside the lines, if you know what I mean. Just give it a new color scheme. Don't get too cute with it when customizing.

i think the idea was cool but the paint are to glossy....

That's awesome!

You're more than welcome to do one yourself and post it. I'd be interested to see one done correctly.

Yeah, I didn't want to use a matte finish because I didn't want it lookingblikeva stealth bomber, so I used a smei gloss cut with a little bit of gloss, still came out kinda shiny. Also, didn't want to sand it BC I was afraid of loosing the detail on his fur, he would have looked like an egg. Lol

Though I don't like the style, I admit that this is an awesome job. Congrats

I have no desire to do it. I have painted figures in the past for a different game, but I will not be painting my Skylanders.

LOL, he looks neat. I think you did an amazing job. he kinda looks like a critter with rabbit ears,lol.
If anyone remembers what a critter is from the old horror movies.

that looks awesome a dark trigger happy is nice. mabye you could make like, the dark skylanders!

and i must say, i absolutly LOATH the sentence ''no, just no.'' its just plain rude and god awful irritating 8C she/he probably spent some time with that mod. its even her/his forst one.

just had to say it.

Thank you. I would like to do some "darker" skylanders. Not sure who I would do next. Had a nice idea for Hex, though it requires some fabrication, and I don't have the resources t do it. Lol

It looks Awesome!!!

I cut my hex's arm off and it looks really undead

LOL WTF!?

I like the scar....but the blank eye makes him look creepy

it makes trigger happy look undead

I would like to see someone paint their own legendary figures, using the same blue and gold color scheme. Then you could have a legendary of each figure.

Kinda lol now if he could take this Trigger Happy off the base and remove the chip and stick it in an undead base and put him on it, i would b impressed

I think you did a fine job for your personal collection. You aren't doing it to make money / sell them, you're doing it for yourself - all that matters is that you're happy with it.

If you want to get rid of the glossy look, use Testor’s Dullcote: http://www.amazon.com/Dullcote...c/dp/B0035LOUMU

To anyone else interested in painting your figures, it is advisable to use Motsenbocker's Paint Remover to remove the paint already on the figure:
http://www.amazon.com/Motsenbo...r/dp/B002MR8AIS

After that, you'll want to hand wash the figure with soap and water - do it with the figure upside down and use caution to not let the base get water damage JUST IN CASE. Shouldn't be hard if you pay attention.

Use a towel to dry it off, then let it finish air drying to be sure its entirely dry.

After that, you can paint your figure using acrylic paint, and again I recommend using Testor's Dullcote to give your figure a more realistic finish (makes it not be glossy).

Hmm..
good job, but one problem....

The cigar.
This is 2012 people. We've moved on from using that little detail on bad guys!
Seriously...

best ..... custom..... EVER

but seriously if the skylanders were this hardcore i wouldnt think twice about buying them
and also you should make more dark versions

That's really cool. I love it. Its a little creepy, but in a good way. He kinda looks like he would qualify as an Undead elemental now. The scar is cool and also what makes him creepy with his eye being white. And the cigar is classic. It makes me a little nostalgic for the days when bad guys had them.

Yeah, we moved from villains who actually looked mean and intimidating to a bunch of prissy, whiny pretty boys.

@ bornsc, thanks alot, that is some awesome advice. I do want him a bit flatter, but irl he doesn't look as bad as the flash made him out in the pic. I will get the dullcoat for future project though. @ cow ,the cigar just says "badass" to me. Probably a left over thing from my childhood. My grandfather always had a cigar in his mouth and I am confident he was who Billy Bad as would have aspired to be. LOL

@cowpowa23, and what's wrong with him having a cigar? He may not actually be a villian, but he is dark. Besides, I think he looks cool with it. It just kinda seems to fit. So what if its an old bad guy look, big deal. Its just a fun custom design. Although, if I could, I would probally buy a dark Trigger Happy.

D-rex@ the new villains are much better.

Because. as I said before, this is 2012.
We're suppost to be smarter then this!
it looks fine. just the cigar.......ugh.

I...don't get what a nostalgic choice of an accessory has to do with intelligence, or the lack there of. I understand you don't like the cigar, and that's cool. Heh

My point exactly. It shouldn't matter whether or not a cigar is an old look for a villain. Its just a custom version of Trigger Happy. I personally like it.

Yes I know how potentially hypocritical this might be:

^ I agree with this and your other comment too

Anyway, to the OP, I love the details. He looks creepy and the paint doesn't look that bad. It's an interesting idea!

Reminds me more of Solid Snake, than it does Trigger Happy.

Looks cool, but I'd probably go without the cigar.
