Aleta Ogord


Courtesy of Comicvine:
The galactic beauty named Aleta had always been aggressive and devoid of emotion. Aleta is the daughter of Ogord, a member of the Reavers of Arcturus and her mother, Salaan. She hated her adoptive brother, Stakar, because unlike her, he was caring and passive. In her eyes, he was weak and unworthy of bearing the same name as her families. Time passed and the two would come to see each other with disdain and keep guard from each other. When Stakar became the age of manhood, he and Aleta went to the forbidden city to met his destiny. Although Aleta hated Stakar's weakness, she assisted him because he finally showed courage to adventure there by himself.
The Hawk God allowed Aleta and Stakar to be separated for a short time, although Aleta's physical body was killed in the transformation. Her body is actually made from light which she can make solid. During that time, Aleta had three children - Tara, John and Sita - who were subsequently kidnapped by their grandfather and turned into psychic vampires. Aleta’s children were killed and Aleta blamed her brother Stakar for the whole incident.
She and Starhawk both joined the Guardians of the Galaxy. In a battle with the Stark, she was bombarded with multiple lasers while trying to switch places with her brother. Somehow, this caused them to split into separate beings. Aleta started a relationship with galactic superhero, Vance Astro, because of her loneliness.Soon, Stakar begins to lose his powers and starts fading from existence. He tells Aleta that they were not supposed to be split so soon and attempted to fuse back together with her. Aleta refused the combination, and soon gained the majority of the Starhawk power. In the meantime, she helped Stakar by providing her light powers to him.

MACH IV


Real Name: Abner Jenkins, currently goes by Matthew Davis
Occupation: Former mechanic and professional criminal, now practicing hero
Identity: (as Jenkins) publicly known, (as Davis) secret
Legal status: Citizen of the United States with a criminal record
Place of Birth: Baltimore, Maryland
Marital Status: Single
Known Relatives: None
Group Affiliation: (Former) employee of the Collector and Justin Hammer, (former) partner of the Gladiator, (former) member of Egghead's Masters of Evil, (current)Thunderbolts
Base of Operations: Mt. Charteris
First Appearance: STRANGE TALES #123 (as the Beetle)

History: Abner Jenkins was a master mechanic at an aircraft parts factory who became dissatisfied with his boring, low paying job. Using his considerable mechanical knowledge, Jenkins built an armor-plated, strength-augmenting suit, a pair of gravity-defying wings, suction-fingered gloves, and a cybernetic control helmet. Calling himself the Beetle, Jenkins decided to use his battle-suit for fame, wealth, and adventure. The Beetle chose to lure the Human Torch and the Thing into battle believing a victory over half the Fantastic Four would make him an overnight sensation. Unfortunately, the Thing and the Torch defeated him, and he was sent to prison. Paroled a short time later, he sought revenge on the Torch, but found himself in battle with Spider-Man instead. Once again he was defeated. Upon his release, he decided to forego petty revenge and concentrated on the acquisition of wealth. He battled Spider-Man and Daredevil separately on various occasions, and once recruited by the Collector to serve as his unwilling agent. Under the Collector's domination, the Beetle faced the Avengers.

Losing every battle against costumed crime fighter and failing to accumulate very much wealth, the Beetle offered his services to underworld financier Justin Hammer, who kept various superhuman criminals on retainers. His offer accepted, the Beetle was dispatched against the original Iron Man, as part of a battalion of costumed criminals. His Beetle armor was severely damaged by Iron Man during the fight.

Jenkins then invested all of the capital he could acquire into the modification and refinement of his Beetle armor. With the assistance of the Thinker, he produced a new battle suit with far greater capacities than his old one. Before launching his comeback, the Beetle recruited the criminal Ringer to put Spider-Man through his paces. The Beetle wished to study Spider-Man's fighting style and program it into a computer system so he could anticipate his opponent's moves. Despite his preparations and new battle-suit, the Beetle was defeated by Spider-Man. He was later freed from prison by Egghead who recruited him for his Masters of Evil organization. The Beetle and other Masters of Evil were defeated by the Avengers and arrested.
When most of Earth's costumed adventurers, including the Avengers and Fantastic Four, seemingly died battling Onslaught, Baron Zemo recruited Jenkins and a number of other villains to trick the world into believing they were heroes called the Thunderbolts. Jenkins adopted the guise of Mach-1. Zemo's plan ultimately failed, but Jenkins and other members decided to try making the Thunderbolts a legitimate team. When Hawkeye took over the group's leadership, he convinced Jenkins to serve out the remainder of his prison term as a show of good faith to the public. But when another criminal used the guise of the Beetle to frame him, Jenkins escaped from jail. Rather than return to prison, he underwent plastic surgery, drastically altering his looks. Ogre also improved on his flight suit, and Jenkins adopted the codename Mach-2.

This custom has been made from a Eaglemoss Avalanche figure with use of Green Milliput and Magic  Sculp White.

Tutorial: how to use decals


First thing to do is to have a decal.
In the picture I'm going to use Tamiya decals to complete some figures I customized time ago.

 Cut just the decals you know you want to use.
 Put them in a fresh water for 30 seconds (or longer if needed, usually for bigger ones). In the picture I used a plastic plate.
 Move them from the paper gently with a certain tool, fingers also are a good tool!
Put them on the surface you selected. You will have a certain time until the water is still remaining on them to adjust in the right position.



 When the water dries the work is done. eventually cover them with a satin transparent layer.

Enjoy!

Morgan Le Fay custom figure


Morgan le Fay is a fictional character in the Marvel Comics Universe, based loosely on the Morgan le Fay of Arthurian legend. In this version of the character, she is the half-faerie half-sister of the mythic Arthur. Her elven heritage granted her immortality, and she used this time to master the mystic arts. She occasionally tries to take over the world. She has been an opponent of The Avengers, and in the 1970s, she was the major villain in the original Spider-Woman comic, and was opposed by a reincarnation of her "ancient foe" and former lover of Magnus and Doctor Doom. She was a member of the Darkholders for a time.

This custom is made starting from Eaglemoss Jocasta resin copy by sculpting with Green Milliput Standard.
Hope you like her eyes.
