All right, I made two more variants, and I call them the Overgrown Portal, and Gilded Tree Rex. I got extra stuff when I got my Wii U disc yesterday, so I made another set of variants. I will post pics as soon as I can.

Nice work! Really loving Slam Bam.

Couldn't you just use the EDIT button...? You've filled a lot of this page...

That bunny pop fizz gets me every time. So cute!

After admiring my Giants Sidekicks for a while ...i noticed something i had to fix ...LOL




His Gauntlet Blaster is green...not yellow...err light lime green, if you want to get technical.
Had to fix the copper on Eye-Small also... ...(was poorly painted).
No need to post a pic...if you want to see it its on the "Giant Kicks starting to arrive in mailboxes" page.

Swap force style tree rex (hopefully)

Made our portal see through on the top.

That's pretty impressive!

Thanks guys! Yay, finally figured out how to Multi-quote. haha .. real late, we know!

OK, so this isn't very customized, but Pumpkin EB felt like he needed a little something extra.
From a top down view (second pic) it kind of looks like a smiley (the nose is two eyes), or maybe a cowboy with a big bushy mustache instead of a pumpkin-toothy-smile.

My Epic Ultra Fright Rider

Oh..by the way the orange on all my Epic Ultra's is fluorescent paint.

I think this totally inspired the official halloween FR. I hope he looks anywhere near as good as this.

Let the Swap Force Customs....BEGIN!!!!!!

Portal-based Hoot Loop?....i don't understand. And isn't Omega Xis a dog? and he's green an blue ....Grim Creeper is Black an Blue...not much to paint there. But a Molten Smolderdash sounds cool...a bright yellow Smolderdash might look cool.

^ ^ ^ ^ Like, a Glados hoot loop?

someone really needs to make a Birthday Bash custom.

From what i see on the wax paper ..it looks like Testors Putty...or the equivalent of.
By the way skylanderex...nice job...Autumn Stump Smash is coming along nicely.

Quote: skylanderex

Step 1 in the making of Autumn Stump Smash. Still working on the canopy.

Nice job!

^modeling clay?...is it the kind once dry it get hard as a rock?...or the kind that stays pliable?
Anyways..its looking good. I thought of doing a Autumn Stump Smash....but you beat me to it... ...i was planing on using the S2 Stump Smash...wanted the Wow Pow
Still might make one once im done with what im working on....

Rattle Shake "A New Skin" Soul Gem appearance.

How did you paint him so he looks like E3 metal cynder? please teach!

He painted him with a clear purple...im in the middle of making my own E3 Cynder...since i couldn't get there to get one, and im not pay'in $300 for one.
The best Clear Purple....and only...(Testors dosen't make clear purple....and neither dose Tamiya)... is Gaia.

I used an automotive 3 stage Candy Purple on this one. I spent more on the paint than I did the figure ..

Silver base coat, (gold on the vest) Purple mid coat and then a multicolor clear coat.

WOW.."I spent more on the paint than I did the figure .." is an understatement...lol.. you used the EXPENSIVE paint!

For individual pieces I prefer standard modeling clay that needs to be baked, or fired. Since I could not do that with it attached to a Skylander I used Air dry modeling clay. After it is dry and shaped I coat it in a liquid latex to fill in the pores and give it a plastic look.

I used the S1 because it was closer in appearance to Autumn Stumpy (doesn't have the spiked hammers)

Yeah...but i can fix that. ...still want the Wow Pow.

And thats the kind of clay i figured you where using...it dose the job...the coating with the latex is a good idea....altho for those out there, (not skylanderex..sure you know ) you have to use the right latex so the paint sticks to it.

Sweet!

Can you post a picture of Chop Chop in its unfinished glory?

They look real cool bro.... thumbs up
What did you use to make the Stumpys canopy? ....looks like individual paper leaves....i like it, looks cool. Take another pic once everything is dry.

Soooo.... a coat of silver with clear/"candy" purple over it should give it the look of a metal cynder?

I really like him! Great work!

Autumn stump Smash is boss.

Also skylanderex..im wanting to use S2 Stump Smash for my Autumn Stump Smash because his mouth is open...like in the picture.
And i ask again...what did you use to make the Stumpys canopy?

You should cut S1 Stump Smash's arms off and use them on Autumn.

I was thinking of making an articulated S2 Stump smash, and have the spike pounders detachable.

i was thinking of making...

fireworks zook
a custom s3 zook w/ 2 bazookas
surfer slam bam
skeletal cynder
autumn

I made the canopy out of paper mache, then covered it in hundreds of individual paper leaves.

Yeah..it looked like paper mache to me...did a great job with him.(thumbs up)
Now that all the detail painting is done and he's dry....how about a new pic? lol

You shouldn't have to cut them off, I think they are just glued in.

Yes thay are...dunking him in hot water...arount 150° to 160° for about 5 min's or so will cause the glue to melt....then you can pull the arms off.

SOMEONE MAKE A BALROG SMOLDERDASH!
I'm done ranting.

Well done skylanderex

Skeletal Cynder.... Hands were a little shaky tonight. Just need to clean up the lines a little.



Smoothing out the scales was the hardest part.

That's amazing!

cool skylanderex...a bit ambitious there bro...good luck. From your description, sounds like its going to look rather cool.
Oh...by the way...*sincker*...how much fun was it to take Hot Head apart? lol

Had me cursing for an hour trying to get him off the base.

LOL...sorry. Getting him off the base wasn't my problem....getting his body apart without braking it to badly....that was my hard part. Im wanting to put LED's in his hands like Jin did....i think his name is Jin...lol. Anyway, after i got him apart i had another idea <eg>

My main Hot Head i just tweeked a bit.

wanted him to look like he dose in the game.

Hot customs!

Thanks CTFdad
There is no resistor...the antenna that is on the RFID chip is used the light the LED.
This is a bit crude...but you get the idea. I was planning on putting a small spool of wire in the body.

Im just holding the LED so the 2 ends are touching each end of the spool of wire that Rip Tide is holding down.

Nice! Looks good so far!

Nice! Is that soldering i see?

Soldering?....ahh no its just yellow paint.

OK I must be missing something, how can you run a 1.8v LED from a 5v supply without a resistor?

The LED's arn't powered off the 5v power supply....they are powered off the RF 13.56mhz signal.
