Geek Hobby Confession

This picture was taken from my office when YS ran a Crazy Youth Worker Office Contest, or something like that. What is obvious is that I still have plastic army men and their kin, what isn’t obvious is that when I have the time, like Christmas break, I custom make them.

The ones I’ve made are Moon Knight, Vision, Two-Gun Kid, Red Wolf, Ms. Marvel, Quicksilver, Ant-Man, Hawkeye and others.? My favorites so far (that are not pictured)? have been Hercules and old school, Nick Fury.

I don’t have the ability to make a mold and melt the plastic into super heroes but I’ve become a wizard with a razor, putty and paint.

Before & After

These are bad shots but it’s the best I can do for now:

On the left is a Sheriff of Nottingham 54mm figure and on the right is The Swordsman from the Avengers.

This next one is pretty sweet job, if? I do say so myself.

War Machine

This one was merely painting the yellow, silver and the red black on an Iron Man figure but also was adding the Gatling gun from another figure on his left shoulder, 5 bazooka barrels from classic “Green Army Men” on his right shoulder and a machine gun from a WW2 German soldier. Doesn’t everybody have those in a box, somewhere?

Thanks for reading about my main geek hobby.
