    Hello everyone! Here is my submission for theToysoup.com Custom Swap. The mean fella was made from the new Ultimate Captain America with some sculpting and a new head from the movie. All spikes that you see were made from a comb and are a tiny bit flexible so they wont break off and will stay nice and pointy. Thanks for commenting.

    Sterling job as ever, sir! It's a brilliant idea for the spikes there, and I love the paintjob on the leather - it really gives it just the right amount of sheen.

    I must admit, though, that I'm not entirely enamoured with the orange bouffant; I think it's the one part that takes away from the reality of it. It's probably because it's all solid transparent orange; I think it could use a few highlights at least to bring it out more.

    Thanks good buddy. The spikes were fun to do cut up half of one of those palm combs from the liquor store.

    Thanks very much Ram. The orange doesn't show it but there is some clear red mixed in there, the background I used washes it out I suppose. I agree though the Flames were definitely giving me the most trouble.

    Thanks LOL Its at Tonyz Custom Bike shop right now I was going to paint it up for this custom but the rules of the event wouldn't permit it so I might just do a second ghost rider or just put up the bike by its self as it is of bad mamma jamma.

    Thanks Erech!

    Pity about the bike. Still, unless you actually have to send the custom off, there's nothing stopping you adding a bike later, surely?

    Yeah I am cultivating rust right now for it and setting up how I will do the yellow orange and blue highlights, should be something to behold even by itself.

    Yeah sucks but it is to be fair for the event every one gets a 6" custom, nothing more nothing less. I have to send it to its new owner soon and I still have a week for the rust so it wont be done on time. So bike yes but not with this custom.

    Thanks bro, Your too kind.

    LOL This is true but I never like the colors that they have I can control the outcome much better if I do it myself(There are lots of other colors besides red rust and I like them better).:D

    The spikes from a comb? Stroke of genius. Love the blue/black mixture in the torso. :thumb

    LOL Thanks, its not just any comb, it is those ones with the hole in the middle for a finger to go through, I see the gangster variety with them the most.

    LOL Yeah the Flame Fro is a bit much.

    Thanks Bro! Here is a pic of the Base Figure. I think it is a pretty radical change.
