Retaliation ninja commando 4x4 to Custom Desert Bug

I got this retaliation ninja commando 4x4 some time ago.. did not liked at all.. all black and that arashikage logo was like way out of place.. so i tool it apart and decided to create something way cooler than just a piece of black plastic with wheels. i thing i can still give it a bit more details, so if i do.. updates will be posted in the same post.

Zoids customs Irvine's Command Wolf

This custom is from the series Zoids. i was a huge fan for a while, until CN canceled the block and there was no more toys to buy (lolz) i always liked Irvine's command wolf.. it was a giant wolf type robot.. but the guy customized it to his style. so i went one day and got a new command wolf just to do this custom.

Custom Nano BAT's

Since most of my internet customizers pals do figures i was push to try it myself. i did this small custom the 1st time i read about the nano bat's concept. and i am one HUGE Cobra Bats fan. i decided to give it a shot and well.. this was my end result. many said it was really good and i did a great 1st time attempt. still.. i have done really little customs on figures.

Custom Cabra Maggot desert theme

This is a work i am still doing for myself. always liked the Cobra Maggot as a kid. and i could not help to drag it into the desert theme. i wanted to go for not only an ageing look but also a harsh enviroment look proven on the conditions of the tank and also the pilot. i man not too fond of custom figures. but i did something there with that driver (WORMS) the helmet i epoxy cloned from an Arah Maggot driver. the antenna from a figures strap (the ones that hold the figures) the front piece cannon is from an 30th Anniversary Ice Dagger and the side basket and rolled cloth from the 25th Arctic hiss tank.

Plexiglass workshop. clear displays for collectibles.

Well this one cool thing i also do and work with. Plexiglass displays. i started doing this as a hobby of mine so i could create my own displays for figures i deemed worthy of keeping dust safe because they where vintage. but since i was so proud on how they turned out i started posting them on different sites. it wasn't long before another user asked me to made one for him. and from there i have done like idk.. 25+ pieces. one thing i like about this is working with measurements.. i just like the math in it. so here are some examples of the ones i have done. i am currently working on shipping costs since these things don't come cheap. material is expensive and shipping by weight is not a big help. but i am sure i will find a way to reduce shipping costs and guarantee an affordable piece for those like me who like their collections to be neat,safe and secure.

This is another commission project. and the 1st DC custom i made. a Classic Cartoon Batman animated series Batmovile. this toy came in those old style colors that even i can relate to batman. (Violet? and red?? really??) anywho.. the client wanted a true batman look on this awesome and slick ride. but he wanted the dark knight look. color theme was Off Black with silver and keeping the original red of the part and the plus twist was that he wanted to include lights on it. Led's for both front and rear with an neutral on/off switch to control it. the vehicle needed some modding to fit the battery pack and switch plus wiring. the end result was what the client expected. down is the original boxed toy and after than the concept picture and then the final results.

This Retaliation Hiss tank was a commission work from a friend. the desert theme of my previous custom paints since he wanted the vehicle to be part of his own extreme conditions desert cobras. the paint theme includes ageing and terrain use like dirt,oxidation,and sod deposits.for commission works like this or any other there are many ways to work them. if you are planing to do a commission custom toy there are only to ways to go. 1st you need a customizer with enough knowledge and experience.. plus Rep (Reputations) not only rep as a guy that can work, but also deliver. in my case i always ask the person How much? meaning how much you wanna invest in a custom? from there is simple.. the person can provide the toy to the artist, or include in a budget the money for the toy. if you are working on the net then shipping costs for the returned finished piece. never go blindly paying to the 1st person you find on X site. do a research on the guy.. or gal. and look for his/her rep+++. but one thing is sure.. there are people out there with the skills to make your dream toy come to life. so don't settle for production toys only.. ad a custom to your collection. is a one of a kind and the best thing is.. it came from your imagination, and nothing beat that. :)

Now this is a full set of custom painted and detailed vehicles. a total of 7. the theme is desert and i can't be more satisfied with the end results. i got some of those 25th anniversary Extreme Conditions Desert 7 packs and i couldn't notice the huge lack of vehicles for this set in particular. the arctic 7 pack had some vehicles like the Ice Dagger and i believe there was another (can't remember) but these desert cobras came with an awesome paint theme, Cream,Red,and Black. so i decided to make some vehicles for them. i used these vehicles as a way to balance their fighting power. These vehicles are for this set. Roc/Gunship 25th/Ram Cycle 25th/Flight Pod 30th/Ice Dagger 25th/Firebat Jet 25th/Claw Arah/Snow Wolf

Small custom i did from a concept color theme i was working in. underwater vehicle for scuba techno vipers. i used the Rise of Cobra Mantis. no mods, only repaint. End result.
