It took me a while to decide which base figure to use for this Ronan figure. I originally planned on using an WWE Elite Undertaker, however, decided against it due to the amount of sculpting the figure would need to turn it into Ronan. I also considered some LoTR and Gears of War figures, before deciding on DCUC Lord Naga.

For the most part, all it needed was some paint. I did slice the hood under the chin and use the old heat and freeze trick to get the hood to remain in the shape i wanted it to. I also cut off some of the top part of the hood that covered the eyes, and added a little sculpt to the forehead. The hammer is a combination of the old BAF Ronan hammer with parts of the Cobra staff that Lord Naga came with.

Thanks for looking.

Really great custom, I bought 3 Lord Naga because I liked the figure and thought to sell the others, but nobody want them, but with you great idea now I know what to do with them. Your figure looks cool and very acurate to have with the rest of the Guardians figures. And your paint it´s very good too.

Wow...very nice mix of comic and movie versions. Your brilliant choice of base made for a clean, efficient conversion, with minimal "work" prior to painting. That base could well become the goto standard for people wanting to make their own Ronan the Accuser.

Thanks thwip! I spent a good chunk of time choosing a base, and really being honest about my ability to sculpt. I knew if I tried to just copy the great versions made by toyman and toy cooker, it probably would not have turned out as good as theirs. It really is uncanny how great a base Lord Naga is for this figure. The best part is that it is super cheap on ebay. In fact the BAF hammer was significantly more expensive to acquire than the figure.
