The X-Men's Colossus
Colossus was made from a "Mission Impossible" Ethan Hunte "Pointman" figure. I used him because he was a fair bit larger than you're average 6" action figure because when in Armoured Form Colossus stands at about 7'5" and i wanted him to be pretty close to scale.
First i used my handy dandy Ryobi Engraver to get rid of the cuffs of his pants, belt, wrist watch and the sleeves of his T-shirt. Then i used Das Pronto clay to mold his shoulder points, wristbands and belt. After a quick sand and prime i brushed on several coats of acrylic gloss paint, then a coat of sealer and there you have it.
This is only my second custom, and i am learning all the time. There are a few little things on this custom that i'm not 100% happy with but hey, the best way to learn is by making mistakes!
