I've been eyeballing figures to start my Strong Guy and I found the perfect donor body in Platinum Hulk! I Shaved his head, sculpted his curly cue glasses and chest logo. Did a flat white coat of paint, then it was model master magical blue and gunnel yellow, my go to paints for standard X-Men colors. To top off the look I kept the belt and used the elbow pads as Guido's shoulder pads. I'm hopeful for the future of the MU/Infinite line but to be honest, I don't see Strong Guy in the cards anytime soon. Next up, Polaris and I have the entire 90's X-Factor crew!

New question, did you crack the torso before painting?Trying to determine the best method for this, as I've never done this much modding before, and it's my first MU custom. Thanks!

Also if it's inappropriate to ask for specifics I understand and apologize. I mean no offense with my imitation, I'm just not especially creative on my own without inspiration like this.

No worries, I used a few previous customs of Strong Guy for my version. A big part of this page is helping each other to create the best customs possible, I wouldn’t have half the customs I’ve made had I not borrowed from pre-existing work I’ve seen on this page. I didn’t crack the torso at all, just pulled the hulk legs out of their sockets and replaced them with Juggernaut legs. The only sculpting I did was to the head and the chest x.

Thanks! I thought you might've sculpted over the Hulk legs. If I can manage to not mess up the head I might be able to do this. I appreciate it!

Was brought in to this site searching for inspiration for a Strong Guy custom, and you knocked it out of the park! Which Hulk was it that you used? I tried looking up Platinum Hulk but kept getting a bunch of unrelated results.

edit: Never mind, pretty sure I found it from the Marvel Infinite Legends Hulk figure. Just had to search a little more!

You’ll know it when you see it, he has slicked back hair, fingerless gloves and shoulder armor. Happy customizing!
