Here is another custom of my favorite Ultraverse character Prime, but this time in his final form.

The base body is the Caliban BAF. The head is a Hyperion casting that I got glassman customs to enlarge, but I did have to re-sculpt the back of the head/hair a little, and fit it to the body using my Dremel and o-rings. I also added some epoxy behind the ears until it was enlarged I never noticed how thin the Hyperion ears were. The hands are from 1/6th scale Deadpool that I bought off eBay which worked out great, but I did have to thicken the peg with superglue and baking soda. The feet are from a Marvel Select Colossus. To make the smaller feet look right I had to Dremel down the lower legs. I used styrene and epoxy to sculpt the armor, gauntlets, and boots. I used Caliban's wristbands as a base for the gauntlets, so they are still removable. I ordered the cape off of eBay it was listed to be for the Storm Mortal Kombat Shao Kahn. I attached the cape by I embedding magnets into the shoulders, and gluing some magnets to the cape. This way the cape can be removable. For the tattoo and arm hair created the graphics in photoshop and printed them on clear backed waterslide paper. To get the waterslide decals to conform to the arm used micro set and micro sol.

I really took my time with this second Prime. It's Prime Time!

Update: I ended up makin an alternate smiling head for Prime. I've been experimenting with molding and casting. I made a mold of one of my last enlarged Hyperion heads, and a mold of a Banpresto All Might figurine's head. Then I spliced them together. Then I made a mold of that combined head. I was pretty happy with how the new head turned out.

This thing is just plain bad@$$! I think you nailed it! Love the proportions and details! Did you hand paint the arm tattoo? Super clean!

Thank you very much. This is my favorite custom that I have made so far. The Caliban body with its muscular proportions is the perfect starting base for the character. The tattoo is a waterslide decal that I made.

Are the legs also from the Caliban BAF? What about the arms? I'm planning to make a Prime for myself, and wondered where you got these parts. Yours is one of the very best I've seen.

Thank you very much. The legs are are indeed from Caliban, but I did use my dremel to taper down the lower legs to give them the right look for Prime. The Arms are also from Caliban, but the fist are from a 1/6th scale Deadpool.
