I have been making customs for several years. As much as I like making them I am terrible at taking photos and sharing them. I figured I would try to just make a thread and attempt to post them all in one tread. It's going to include new and old figures I have done and some may be reposts.

Up first is a Greek custom that I have bee working on off and on for about 6 months, Theseus. It's one of those that although it seems simple I just couldn't get it right. I tried multiple looks and heads on and them placed it back on the shelf time after time, not satisfied. It is mainly made from HACKs parts with a Thor movie head. I added tiny details to the armor, some shading to the body to highlight the muscles, and repainted the head. back on the shelf it went for about a month. I finally picked it back up and repainted the hair again and added a Valkyrie sword. I may add a cape later but right now I'm fairly pleased.

#1 - Theseus: Slayer of Minotaur
Head - Thor
Sword - Valkyrie
Everything Else - HACKs

looks great. I used the same head for my Odysseus. Such a great sculpt for the era. I'd like to see more like that from Boss Fight, but the trick is to balance the sculpt with the ability to use the helmets, I'd wager

Thanks. I have the LOTR head for the character played by Echolson that I want to use for Odysseus. It reminds me of the version from that Hallmark movie

Here is another custom I did to go with my HACK's. I finished this custom a while back but never got around to taking pictures. I give you Poseidons son, Triton.

#2 - Triton: Messenger of Poseidon. He is the son of Poseidon and Amphitrite, god and goddess of the sea respectively, and is herald for his father. Like his father, Poseidon, he carried a trident. However, Triton's special attribute was a twisted conch shell, on which he blew like a trumpet to calm or raise the waves. For this custom I used a Marvel Triton figure as a base. The Trident came from and Aquaman figure (I think), his scarf from one of the many Storm Shadow figures, and his waist skirt from a Jedi Knight figure. I repainted the figure in a different shade of green and used another shade to add depth. I kept the original figures boots and gloves. I figure when he walks on land he doesn't want his webed hands and feet notices. I added the accessories and thought I was done. Something was missing, I wanted either scales ot him to look like he had just came out of the sea. So I went back and gave him a gold wash. I'm pretty pleased with how he turned out.

Parts:
Base figure - Marvel's Triton
Scarf - Storm Shadow
Waist skirt - Jedi figure
Weapons - Aquaman and Boss Fight

Great subject for a custom series. Looking forward to seeing who else shows up.

You might need to track down this accessory for his horn:

I want to use a real shell. I had hoped to find on that would work while I was at the beach.

Both look great. I really like the gold tones mixed in with the green on Triton. And Theseus would work great as a movie Aquaman custom with that head sculpt. It resembles an armor that the character wears in the latest trailer. Keep them coming. Look forward to seeing more.

Some updated Triton pics. I added his cape and shell horn.

#3 - Midas: King of Phrygia

One day, some Phrygian peasants found a drunken old man in the garden’s vicinity and, after capturing him effortlessly, brought him to their king. Midas recognized him almost immediately. It was a servant of the god Dionysus. So, instead of punishing him, Midas welcomed him in his palace, where his servants fed and entertained him for no less than ten nights. On the eleventh, Midas personally took Silenus back to his master, Dionysus, who, in gratitude for Midas’ hospitality, granted Midas one wish. Midas asked Dionysus that he should be able to turn into gold everything he touched. Contrary to the myths his touch did not turn things to gold. Instead, his "Golden Touch" was his prosperity. Thanks to Dionysus, Midas became rich and powerful. He gathered so much gold and precious riches that he covered everything he owned in gold and jewels.
