Shaw's Custom Turtles & Etc.
Welcome to my blog! Some time ago, I combined two of my loves: art and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This blog is dedicated to sharing may custom, hand-painted work of TMNT figures. I've enjoyed this hobby for a few years and have decided to share it with you. I have sold dozens of sets on various sites and have really enjoyed the feedback regarding these. This blog acts as a venue where I can share tips with you regarding customization of TMNTs as well as learning from you as well.

Set # 8 Nick Figures
I figured I'd share set #8 of my Nickelodeon custom TMNT figures. I'm currently selling this set on eBay. What I like about this set, among others, is the way the shells took the paint during the wash process. Specifically for this set, on top of the grunge style I utilize, I focused on enhancing the battle damage to the shells. This set also includes as more realistic Splinter to corroborate the Nick show. This set took around 5.25 hours to customize. I recently switched to a new method of customizing the weapons so they are highly durable and vibrant. Tell me what you think!
First post
With most of my customs, I tend to use a more grunge, dirty look to corroborate life in the sewers. I really like using a dark wash on my TMNT Nick figures to allow the skin texture to look gritty. I think the battle pads look amazing with wash as well. I have previously customized the NECA TMNT figures, Nickelodeon figures (ooze canisters, 11" Battle Shells figures, and general 4" figures), McDonalds figures, and the vintage figures as well. I will post new sets as they become available for sale. Each set will differ from the other. I never use the same exact template for the figures though they all will have my trademark gritty style. I hope you enjoy these and hope to hear your feedback regarding the sets. I will eventually get around to posting a step by step process of my customization process.
Turtle Power!
