Bengal, Duc No Tranh. Eaglemoss Marvel Chess Collection cutom.



Bengal.
Courtesy of Wikipedia:

Duc No Tranh was a boy growing up in a Vietnamese village during the Vietnam War. During the war, American soldiers, including Red Wolf, Willie Lincoln, and the future Reverend Michael Janes, massacre his village and parents. The boy tries to climb aboard the Americans' helicopter, but was kicked off by Private Janes, despite the pleas of other soldiers on board.
Years later, the boy became the costumed Bengal and travels to America for revenge on the soldiers involved in the destruction of his village. Willie Lincoln seeks Daredevil's protection. The costumed hero defeats Bengal.
Bengal later attacks Father Michael Janes. He soon clashes with Silhouette and the other New Warriors over the fate of Janes. Bengal also fights Night Thrasher for the first time.
His origin is recounted, and his battle with Night Thrasher is ended by the Punisher. Bengal befriends the New Warriors, and Bengal and Janes make peace with each other.
Despite this, Bengal still feels the need to avenge atrocities stemming from the Vietnam War. He comes to believe that Gai No Don, an acquaintance of Night Thrasher, was in reality, Li Pan, a Vietnamese general responsible for thousands of innocent deaths. Bengal battles security officers until he reaches Gai. He is confronted by Night Thrasher and Silhouette, whom Gai has hired. He is told Gai is not Li Pan. Bengal leaps out a window and escapes. Bengal later attacks the Poison Memories gang, a long time New Warriors enemy. He believes they have information on Li Pan. Again, Night Thrasher fights him. He is temporarily subdued and urged to move on.



This custom was done from the Spiderman figure in the Eaglemoss Chess Collection by sculpting the suite in Green Milliput, as well the Ninja weapons he's holding. The base is a resin copy of Eaglemoss CMFC. Paints and washes by Vallejo.

Hope you like him!

Cobaltman, Ralph Roberts. No eaglemoss custom.



Ralph Roberts was a scientist who had been studying the effects of nuclear radiation involving cobalt. He sought to use this as a weapon and began designing a suit, which he planned to give to the military as opposed to Iron Man. Upon completion, he called himself the Cobalt Man. When he first put on the suit, he was suffering from a concussion, because he had injured himself in a pole jump competition with his brother Ted. Because of his head injury, he became obsessed with defeating Iron Man

Goliath, Erik Josten, no Eaglemoss custom.





Goliath, as his name somewhat implies, can grow to depressing heights ; at his maximum, he’s nearly unstoppable. His ionically-enhanced metabolism is similar to Wonder Man’s ; thus he’s immune to most hostile environments, up to and including outer space, and effectively immortal. He does not sleep or eat, either. Even at normal size, Goliath’s strength and durability are massively superhuman.
