 Here is the number 3!

Painting tutorial in the link to the video!

Have a look, have a Skif!

Who is the #3/39 ?

 

Number 3/39 of The Boys already painted and filmed, just need the time for the editing and it will be shown as sooner as possible... guess who?? 

In the meantime I was wondering about numbers in this blog since the beginning.

Let's share some numbers.

Skif_MC CMFC: 507 customs published by me in Marvel Comics waves 1-6

Skif_MC XCFC: 82 customs published by me in X-Com waves 1-2

Skif_MC The Boys: 2 customs made by me in The Boys wave 1

Skif_MC CMFC: 132 customs made and printed by me for Marvel Comics wave 6 waiting for paints

Skif_MC XCFC: 60 customs made and printed by me for X-Com wave 3 waiting for paints

Skif_MC The Boys: 37 customs made and printed by me for The Boys wave 1 waiting for paints

Skif_MC CMFC: 125 e-customs made by me waiting for printing for Marvel Comics wave 7

Skif_MC XCFC: 68 e-customs made by me waiting for printing for X-Com wave 4

Skif_MC The Boys: 5 e-customs made by me waiting for printing for The Boys wave 1

Total of customs only: 

figure CMFC:

507 already published + 132 waiting paints +125 waiting prints = 764 Marvel Comics 

figure X-Com:

82 already published + 60 waiting paints + 68 waiting prints =  210 X-Com

figure The Boys:

2 already published + 37 waiting for paints + 5 waiting for prints = 44 The Boys

So, that considering only the customs I made the count arrives at 1018 customs. 

All of these characters are unique, no replicas, no variants, no characters others do. Its'a sort of physical archive... 

The amount of figures already printed and waiting for paints suggest at least 3 years of work ahead, and adding the ones that I'm still waiting to print I can assume that I still have a total of at least 6 years of work in front of me.

A little bit too Titanic even for me! Specially if I continue to produce e-customs on Cults3D that I pretend to print and paint. Some how I shall to stop e-sculpting and take more time for painting if I want to survive all this waves. Let's see in the next months how it will go....

Waiting forward to meet you here for The Boys figure #3/39.... guess who...? Suggestion are welcome.

The Boys custom #2/39 The Deep

 

It's very difficult to translate the effect of The Deep's scaled suit into a 90mm scale. I had to play with four shades of green, two of which were metallic green, as well as a dark green wash. I hope you get the idea...

The original sculpt was produced from a MeshyAI base, which I then corrected with SculptGL and made printable with 3DBuilder.

The print was done with the Anycubic Photon Mono 7, which... after printing the thirty-ninth figure of The Boys... died! And Anycubic isn't going to give me another one... no! So for now, I'll stop at 39 issues of The Boys. In the meantime, enjoy the second one (and maybe the third... which is already running around the house after coming to life...)

Have a lovely day, stay happy stay Skif!

 

The Boys Custom #1/39 Lamplighter

 As promised, here our journey starts.

Lamplighter the Super from the serie The Boys.

Bubbling pot

 

I imagine many of you will be waiting for news or the first issue of The Boys series.

I can tell you that you won't have to wait long, because the first piece is already painted and filed away on my now-depleted shelves. It's just a matter of giving to the video a decent look and publishing everything: specifications, video, photos, and 4D.

And maybe I can even tell you who the first in The Boys series will be... actually, no, maybe I'll upload it tonight and leave you wondering, but if you know me even a little, you already know it won't be Homelander... that would be too banal and not very Skif Marvel Customs...

So, stay very tuned because The Boys will really fly high, it's a ambitious project, the quality superior, the amount of characters impressive.

In the meantime give a look to the new STL you can download for free from Cults3D, at least:

PATRIOT

                                                                                            

GIPSY MOTH

FLYING TIGER

                                         

Stay fresh, stay Skif
                                

Marvel Comics Custom Krang

 

Hi gentlemen,

This is Krang, former usurper of the throne of Atlantis, sometime ally and sometime adversary of Namor the Sub Mariner.

The Boys are coming to Skif Marvel Customs

 Dear followers,

The new Marvel wave has begun, and you can currently find the new figures already uploaded in the respective "Marvel Wave 6" gallery.

And yet... it seems like I'm slowing down a bit...

Actually, that's not entirely true.

I have hundreds of e-customs I made already printed and just waiting for the brushes.

But something unexpected happened. Many times I've wondered, and you've asked me, if one day I'd pursue a project, after XCom, on "The Boys" series.

I've always been quite reluctant, because I didn't want to overly distort the nature of the blog, which remains the heart of all my activities and is clearly focused, as the name itself suggests, on Marvel Comics-related production.

In the end... you convinced me, and I'm convinced.

Over the past few weeks, I've been working on "The Boys" project, and today I'm announcing that the series of customs related to this famous Prime series will also be released.

I expect 39 releases. The 39 characters have already been developed and printed and the releases, in an order that has not yet been decided, will be as follows:

Queen Maeve

A-Train

Soldier Boy

Black Noir

The Deep

Firecracker

Hughie Campbell

Kimiko

Franchie

Sister Sage

Billy Butcher

Homelander

Translucent

Crimson Countess

Gunpowder

Mindstorm

Supersonic

Ezekiel

Mother's Milk

Starlight

Mesmer

Little Nina

Marie Moreau

Popclaw

Lamplighter

Victoria Newman

Eagle the Archer
