My first custom I've ever done aside from using sharpies as a kid. Just came across a bunch of extra figures I had put away that had been heavily played with when I was a child. Starting thinking about how I was always bummed they never made a Barbarian figure, let alone a powers of pain tag team set. Saw I had an Animal missing and arm and an extra British bulldog and decided to make my first custom figure for the hell of it. Head and legs are LOD animal with a little sculpy for the goatee and the body of the British bulldog. Not sure if I'll ever get around to doing another custom but if I do, it'll have to be the Warlord! Hope ya dig!   |

Not bad! I think his skin colour is a bit light and you need to give him a gloss finish. Pretty good effort for a first timer!

Yea I agree on the skin tone being light, like I said, wasn't really planning on going for broke on customs and I had some beige paint laying around. Just went for it. I may do a repaint if I get around to making a POP Warlord |

For your first custom, that is quite a smooth figure! A gloss coat would make his colors pop a bit more, but he still looks great as he is, too! You clearly paid attention to the fine details here, and his face paint makes that clear.

Yea the face paint was super difficult but I was feeling motivated with how well it was going to begin with. I'm actually kinda shocked how good it came out. You guys are making me wanna try this warlord now haha. Gotta get a good recipe for him though Anyone have a good clear coat to use? |

Took all your advice and updated the skin tone on my barbarian and finished my warlord! Barbarian: animal head, British bulldog body, animal legs Warlord: hawk head, tatanka body  Also had a broken razor and boss man #2 so I whipped up a quick diesel  |

Nice Power of Pain! They look pretty much how you'd expect if there was an official release. And that diesel looks familiar, good combination  Just need a Mannix head and he's set. |

Fair point. They do seem a lot more expensive than when I got mine a few years ago. I guess the supply is running out. Or people are hoarding them.
