Boromir is perfect! Well done Raymond top work. My favourite character in LotR and this is the first I've seen him really done justice - RDeezy / Jake spotting the potential in that substitute sculpt you are using was a genius move.
 
Here we go 3-point-0

Same thing reworked to shit... hollowed the head and widened it and aged him with paint techniques . It was a bitch. But I think it looks like a totally different sculpt...

I wanted to post these mods I did to Daredevil.

It pissed me off for over a year I was trying to convince myself I was ok with this thing. With his skinny fat physique, neckless bobblehead and his utterly ridiculous Depends. But season 3 gave me some inspiration to look at him again for the first time in ages. That and TA parting out the thing, I'm thinking; how the hell are they getting the suit off?

So I just got over myself and went at the damn thing and pulled off the suit! Took a lot of patience and inching it little by little but it came off and also went back on OK. (with the exception of the waist being stretched that popped right back into original shape when I hit it with a hairdryer. All the mods I made, I can actually revert back to the original figure 100 percent if I ever needed to.

credit goes to Freak member Gipetto0812 who had the idea to put it on a HT Deadpool body.

In fact this is the only option, that body along with Daredevil is tight jointed and engineered specifically to hold poses with the resistance of the plastic bodysuit. But the thing is that I felt he was still not quite the right build for Daredevil. So what I did was I dremeled the arms and shoulders, traps and and back lats down to fit his physique more accurately.

Finally I swapped the knees and below with the daredevil legs to ensure his height went back down shorter as it should be and the ankles fit properly, and I opened the backs of the bodies to swap out the deadpool neck ball plug with the original daredevil ball plug. this raised his neck ball almost level with his traps, which made it just the perfect height when the suit was put back on. I was elated as that was my number one beef with the figure (his stumpy neck).

I also stuffed a bit of cotton in the front of his pants, it's not really needed though. I just thought there had to be a reason why HT gave him Depends. Spoiler alert... there's not.

All said and done I now love the figure. HT really needs to invest in more /better bodies and not cheap out and re use the same crap, and a fat suit for a figure like this is a terrible idea. He's going to inevitably look, well, fat.

Hey Ray, this looks awesome! I’ve wanted to get this figure but everyone complaining about it just looking off has stopped me. I don’t suppose you know anyone who is parting it out so that i can try and do a custom like your own?
 
Thank you man! Really appreciate it.

I tried an all new method when paining mike, I think it’s my best paint so far but I don’t even really know what the hell I did haha. Will have to keep practicing with this new technique
 
Looks amazing man! Such a simple character so the fact that the sculpt is nailed, as well as the outfit, puts the rest on the paint up. You did a beautiful job here. Perfect figure.
 
Ray, what shoes did you use. I found a great match on eBay, wondering if you are using the same.
 
Thanks so much guys!

Great Lakes I couldn’t really find any good reference so I used some DID style brown oxford style shoes. The kind that go over regular feet. Good enough for me.

I found the scene where he is wearing this outfit and meeting Gus for the first time. The beginning shot has a close up of his shoes. I will send you a link to the pair I got, less than $10.
 
No problem. I played the beginning of that episode over and over making sure to get a good grab of the shoes. They match just about perfect.
