My customs: [link]

I take commissions!

Yuck, why can't I take decent pics of these figurines. They photograph REALLY bad. I swear this looks much nicer in hand.

Anyway, my custom of Jimmy Olsen to go with the Superman characters of Eaglemoss' DC Super Hero Collection.

The design is based on this picture [link] as well as Jimmy's look in All-Star Superman [link]

The base is a Classic Marvel Figurine Collection X-MAN [link]

This was rather embarassing to do as I had to flatten X-Man's abs with some clay and I also had to...sandpaper his crotch. Not a pretty sight, watching me working on X-Man's bulge.

Anyway, after that I completely re-did his hairdo with some clay as his original hair was atrociously bad. Details to his pants and shoes were added in black Milliput, as well as his trademark bowtie and Superman signal watch.

After all the details were added I painted it all and also painted freckles on his cheeks using a very small brush. As a final touch I added the "press" badge, which was printed from this picture [link] , the little clip keeping it on his chest is made of Milliput.

The camera was sculpted separately using plain Fimo for the main body and Milliput for the details and a little wire to put it arund his neck.

Finally I glued him on a custom made DC base.
