Great custom, Jean-Luc, and thank you, Jochen, for the background information.

Great job Jean Luc, that's wonderful!

May I steal your photos for use in the Aimobil customs section in the future?
That's no problem.... ;)

It looks just perfect, Jean-Luc! :D

You really have a talent for converting regular Playmo into fantasy creatures. 8-)

What did you model the additional parts out of? Is it Milliput, or some other type of stuff? :)


Btw, thanks for the background information on the story, Jochen. I hadn't heard of it before.

Thanks Sylvia!
The horns and the fattening of the body are made of 2-component epoxy, but not the type that you can find in the regular stores...It was given to me some time ago by Macgayver from Belgium (you remember him?) It was made by somebody he knew and it works extremely well; I think it is even tougher than regular epoxy mass (it becomes really rock hard), although it takes a little longer to cure. But that is allright, because it gives me more time to model the shapes... 8-)

Ahhh... I know the stuff you're describing! :)

Macgayver kindly sent me a couple of tins of it too, but I haven't as yet tried it out... even though he gave me very detailed instructions on how to use it. :-[
I feel like I owe it to him to test it out since he was so generous to send it, but I haven't had much time for customising this year. :(
