Inanimate Objects

Robin (BTAS)

Recently, I seem to be on a roll updating a number of the old-school character designs. The Batman Returns-as-animated Robin figure sorely needed my customizing attention. The base is the above mentioned figure. First I dremeled off the comic-book style belt, chest “ties,” glove and shoulder details. Then I filled (read more...)

Renee Montoya (TNBA)

Detective Renee Montoya is another character that has long been on my to-do list. And yet, like so many others, she eluded me for many years. I started and stopped a version of Renee several times. Most recently, I had completed a sculpt that sat unpainted on my desk for (read more...)

Ray (Golden Age)

The Ray is part of the Freedom Fighters, the Golden Age team I submitted as an entry to CustomCon 14. This interpretation of the team is based on Carlo Barberi’s and Larry Stucker’s art from the comic Justice League Unlimited #17. The Ray was relatively simple. I started with AMAZO (read more...)

Phantom Stranger

Phantom Stranger was a “side project,” or something to work on while the epoxies cured and paint dried on the more complex customs. As a result, he’s a fairly quick and easy custom. He’s based on his appearance in the JLU comic book, which is about as close to an (read more...)

Phantom Lady

Phantom Lady is part of the Freedom Fighters, the Golden Age team I submitted as an entry to CustomCon 14. This interpretation of the team is based on Carlo Barberi’s and Larry Stucker’s art from the comic Justice League Unlimited #17. Phantom Lady use the Justice Lord Woman Woman as (read more...)

Perry White

t’s funny. As I work my way through the ranks of the Timm-verse characters, each one getting more challenging, the ones that appear to be simplest are in fact the most difficult! I started Perry in an effort to bolster my Metropolis shelves. I had a good start on the (read more...)

Nora Fries

After the success of my other memorial pieces, Nora Fries seemed a natural candidate. The figure itself was made from an Anastasia body, Mulan (skirt) arms, and a Blink head. The hair was sculpted from Kneadatite. This was my first attempt at using this material (thanks Yer Pal Boneyard!), (read more...)

Max Gibson

Like most everything about the Batboy show, I grew to accept and even like the character of Max. Obviously, she became important enough that I felt she needed to be represented in plastic. Max’s torso and arms are that of Princess What’s-her-name. I chose PWHN as she is a bit (read more...)

Maggie Sawyer

I can’t make a Dan Turpin and not make a Maggie Sawyer! Maggie was built from a Wonder Woman body (first version). The coat and details were added using Magic Sculpt. The head is the ever-lovin’ Witchblade noggin. (That sounds a lot easier than she really was to make.) I’m (read more...)

Lois Lane (II)

Once again, I’m thrilled Hasbro bestowed upon us mere plastic-lovin’ mortals a real, 100% genuine Lois Lane figure. But, as with Alfred and Gordon, they came just a wee bit shy of hitting the nail on the head. It’s my duty to finish the job. Unlike Alfred and Gordon, Lois’ (read more...)
