Hey guys! It’s been a little while, I know. But here I present some new custom action figures for your viewing pleasure. I made a full set of the Marvel U-Foes on a 3 3/4″ scale using Marvel Universe action figures as the base. If you’re unfamiliar with the U-Foes, they consist of Ironclad, Vapor, Vector, and X-Ray. They were a fun project, and after you check out the pictures and description for Vector, you’ll see just how much work went into them. Just click on each photo below to go to the corresponding page for that custom. Thanks for looking, and until next time!

By far the most time consuming of the U-Foes to tackle was Vector. Like X-Ray, he was a character who had two dimensional detailing on a three dimensional surface. Only with Vector, it was a LOT more of it, set up in a very specific way. I had to utilize a lot of reference to paint him correctly, and even then there’s some angles that just weren’t available of him, so I had to guess how everything connected. He started as a Marvel Universe Silver Surfer whose nose I removed and base coated in orange. After that, I went on Photoshop and blocked out each layer of his detailing to make it was easy and stress free as possible. Then I just slowly went through and penciled it out and started painting. It took a lot of patience, and a very steady hand, but eventually Vector was completely finished and ready to join his U-Foes brethren in taking down the Marvel heroes!
