Great customs man! that future Trunks looks great. Nice to see another Yamcha fan as well Thanks!! juanjorman I personally think Piccolo and Yamcha have the best personalities in all of DB series, I enjoyed Yamcha's performance on Dragon Ball and had High hopes for him on DBZ (not mentioned GT because I decided to think it never happened hopefully the rumors are true and Akira Toriyama make's another Dragon Ball series taking on DBZ ended and give us more Yamcha.) , I'm buying some figures for going on a Yamcha's customs frenzy! I hope you like them when I get them done.

Thanks Adrenaline I'm glad you like them, man I have to tell you I always had this fantasy of getting every DB character but I thought that was impossible, then i got into customizing and started to think maybe it can be done but after I saw your thread and see you making all the DB characters yourself I finally think it really can be done!!! , I'm looking forward your next works I'm curious about what and how you're going to do next!!

Forgot to mention the amazing job you did getting that Vegito head into Future Gohan thanks @aussiedcfan man I have to tell you that was a little difficult to make I even cut myself a little doing it and the head fell before the Apoxie hardened and I had to redo it again, and I was like NoOoOoOo!!! :willy:but I'm satisfied with the outcome.

What kind of clay are you using? Is it gray Apoxie Sculpt? I see one bottle of Americana paint in the background but I can't read the brands in the pics on the others. How do you like it? Is it smooth or is it chalky? I usually recommend for people to stick with Delta Ceramcoat because most of their paints are smooth and high quality. Folk Art is what I use as a backup for the occasional times when DC doesn't make a specific color, but my problem with them is I have to add bottled water to them because they are all too thick. I use Testors model masters clear acryl as the final layer of paint on everything I make, but I've never used any of their colors. I do remember that Apple Barrel is a horrible brand that should never be used from my experience. I'll have to check and see if I have any Americana... I think I might have one bottle somebody gave me, but I'll have to check... Yes, Branjita I use gray Apoxie modeling compound, I recently started to use the Americana Enamel paint actually the one I was looking for is the Delta Ceramcoat, after your recommendation for the zarbon skin I took your advice and went to the store but they doesn't work that brand there so they recommended the Americana paint instead and I have to tell you I'm in love with this paint man! because of they grand variety of colors, is smooth, dries fast and is cheap. You can see how smooth it is on the Zarbon's custom the only part I dint use Americana Enamel on that figure is on the arms and elbow I used the other brand you saw on the picture, is Testor Enamel Acrylic but when I finish the remaining bottles I won't gonna be buying it again I like the gloss they left in the Apoxie (like in kid gohan hair) but in some figures doesn't dries well and some colors create little paint bubbles like the cream you can take future gohan's skin for example. I ordered some Delta Ceramcoat paints on ebay after I get them I will compare it to the Americana Enamel and give you some feedback.

Awesome! What I recommend for a Krillin that is to scale with that Gohan is using a jakks ss Gotenks body with the head from the chara puchi Krillin in hat figure. Hey Branjita thanks for your suggestions I found on ebay two different SS Gotenks which one you're suggesting? I couldn't find the Chara Puchi Krillin with the hat on ebay, I guess I will be opening a thread on the swap meeting section to see if there's someone willing to sale one.

Hello Again I'm adding two new customs to the thread, last night I was looking into my broken figures, asking what can I do with those pieces, and something really cool came up I manage to create my versions of Future Gohan ( Trunks History) and Kid Gohan from the Frieza saga. The one I really want to create is kid gohan with the saiyan armor, I already have some ideas I'll try to buy the figures necessary for making what I have in mind this week, I personally hate the one released I think the body and the head are out of proportions, the other figure I want to create is Krillin with casual clothes and the hat (thats gonna be difficult but I'll try my best, so wish me luck) - Kid Gohan- i took a broken bandai ( I think is bandai's I'm not sure) without hair, feet and missing armor was the first I had in 2003 then sculpted the hair, armor took the feet of an old Marvel's Black Widow figure. - Future Gohan ( From Trunks History Special) - for this custom I took the body of a broken goku, the head of a bootleg Vegito and sculpted the hair, the belt, the shirt, re painted the Gi for a lighter blue, the skin and added the future Gohan Kanji. I hope you like him. Well thats all for now thanks for your attention.
