[@TakuTay]

The finish product looks sensational, pretty awesome how you and your girlfriend got to combine your skills to make this

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you! Yeah it's really nice having someone who shares your interests

[@_INKY_THE_IDIOT]

You can also say it’s beyond

[@CraftyGecko]

Beyond the spiderverse? I suppose I could actually 😅

[@_INKY_THE_IDIOT]

@@CraftyGecko I was referencing Ben Reilly’s beyond suit lmao

[@CraftyGecko]

@_Phoenix_Blaze_ ohhh right

[@Mortamir_ActionFigures]

One of the greatest custom Scarlet Spider-man ever made. I thought it was a moded mafex figure at the start of the video lol

[@CraftyGecko]

Haha thank you so much!

[@theromanticavacodo]

The cell shading is amazing! I wish hasbro would release something with this quality

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you! I hope they do

[@Poundz978]

It’s always like that when working on a custom. About halfway way through we question how it’s looking and gonna turn out but thats the fun part… never really knowing how it’ll look until it’s done. You did well here!

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you, it really is just a case of trusting the process (and hoping). Each one is a learning point too

[@tnvasion7824]

We love brooding,edgy Scarlet Spidey

[@CraftyGecko]

Yes, yes we do

[@chrisjordan8109]

I did my custom last year but I used a balloon for the sweater, I plan to revisit this character once I find kid omega figures on clearance since I prefer that body for all spiderman, this is a dope custom keep them coming for sure

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you so much! The kid omega plan is really good

[@Wow_its_Ethan]

Dude this is honestly so good the lil lined details make it pop so much when you see it up close and i gotta say hands down this man is one of the best action figure customizers 👏

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you so much!!

[@Fr3akshow13]

So clean and well made! I’m impressed for sure. Top 3 customs I’ve seen.

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you I really appreciate that!

[@cartoonfoxguy2002]

This looks incredible dude, just WOW!! So damn faithful to the film too!! Fantastic work! 👏🏻🔥❤

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you so much!

[@ddodson85]

I have seen others customize this figure. But I’ll say yours is probably the best one. And you used that upgraded body with that upper torso.

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you!

[@urzmontst.george6314]

really cool

[@CraftyGecko]

Thanks!

[@acicon]

Perfect... POSE! Phenomenal job. Figure looks fantastic!

[@CraftyGecko]

Haha thank you!

[@francobaris6298]

Bro this is a DOPE castom man! You did a great job.

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you!

[@TheMarvelousLoukas]

I would use the black widow braces if you had them they have the cartridges around them and they fit kinda

[@CraftyGecko]

Unfortunately I don't have that figure. I did even debate getting the new chasm figure to use his

[@oi7917]

this gives hasbro a run for their money, just straight heat bro 🔥

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you! I'll be interested to see how they tackle this character, if they do

[@n0lizs]

It looks so cool! Awesome job man.

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you!

[@Natansummers]

Amazing work bro

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you!

[@ki6874]

jaja, the pose on the thumbnail

[@CraftyGecko]

Haha thank you, I thought it fit well

[@ki6874]

it did@@CraftyGecko

[@RDJ_Customs]

Phenomenal as always 🤌🏽💯🤌🏽

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you!

[@MadeInPrime]

WOW!

[@CraftyGecko]

Thanks!

[@Poundz978]

Fire!

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you so much!

[@think_amphibian0766]

Every single time I see that pose at the end it reminds me of ice jj fish 😂 the song is called on the floor

[@CraftyGecko]

Haha

[@byFharid]

niceeeeee job! Looks awesome!

[@CraftyGecko]

Thanks!

[@Kurtsinuterooo]

This custom looks amazing! What I would've used for the body is the chasm marvel legends figure because it already comes with accurate gauntlets that scarlet spider wears but overall, your custom looks amazing!

[@CraftyGecko]

Thanks! I did think about using the chasm body but I wanted something with better articulation

[@OpinionesArticuladas]

Imaging making this awesome figure and getting Hasbro announcing Scarlet Spider one month later

[@CraftyGecko]

Haha honestly what are the odds. That would make the perfect base for this custom though

[@Spider-Drip]

This is fucking insane by far one of your best custom Figures!

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you, I do think this is my best so far

[@DeadgrinCustoms]

So fucking cool! Bro I've been wanting to make this exact figure for my daughter and this video has inspired me. Great job!

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you! I hope your custom goes well!

[@Twizzaa]

its simply..⭐ amazing⭐

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you

[@gurieldaniel6004]

looks great !!!

[@CraftyGecko]

Thanks!

[@victormeyer4116]

You could've used the latest Carnage body which comes in a twopack along with Spiderman black suit.

[@CraftyGecko]

Unfortunately that body has the tendrils on the forearms which would mean cutting them and repainting anyway. The articulation isn't great either and hasbros cell shading is pretty rough

[@CraftyGecko]

Not to mention how expensive that 2 pack is and I got all these parts for under £15

[@ddodson85]

Back when they first released this figure, they used that crappy buck. I like this one for him way better. With the upper torso able to do all that movement. Instead of just an ab crunch. Really good job man. Love the shading. I have 2 of the Mafex scarlets, thinking I’ll try to shade one of them.

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you! Yeah the articulation is much nicer on this body mold.if you have 2 of the mafex I would say go for it

[@Atrav7]

This is awesome!

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you!

[@n1k49]

Amazing work

[@CraftyGecko]

Thanks!

[@stopmotionsamstudios3852]

THIS IS SOO TOUGH BRO, IM FLABBERGASTED! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK 🎊🎊

[@CraftyGecko]

Thanks so much!

[@minhnhat7844]

my man, that head is all i want, i just got my own mafex scarlet, thinking about get him a real head like you, btw you got a new follower here, damn well done

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you so much! Rdj customs sells the heads and he paints them too I think

[@minhnhat7844]

in Vietnam we also have our custom figure things like people doing great, so i will find out later @@CraftyGecko

Sick

[@CraftyGecko]

Thanks!

[@gazmanedits]

this is amazing

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you!

[@gravehop245]

Great custom man, also what primer did you use btw?

[@CraftyGecko]

Thanks! I believe it was just a standard white primer from halfords

[@Mluera]

thats insane omg

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you!

[@rhinuu045]

damm looks so good

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you!

[@rjack3817]

That's an amazing custom dude!! I'm making my own custom for a video, could you please tell me what type of primer you used? I couldn't really understand what you said besides basic white.

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you! I used Halfords white primer, it's one if the most basic primers out there

[@rjack3817]

Thank you!

[@mr.curington]

W vid bro you are so underrated

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you!

[@kokispider]

Excellent work!! I thought it was a MAFEX, my 4-year-old boy asks me for his figures to have articulation in the toes, I saw that you have some printed ones, where could I get one of those to change all his figures? Is there any file on the web? I would appreciate it very much!

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you so much! The files are on cgtrader.com/craftygecko I'm also working on a set with spaces for magnets in the base

[@nunocabreracancelo]

I want to do this with the next marvel legends ben reilly that is going to release, but I don't think I can affort taking it apart and repainting everything, can I just paint the cell shading over the vanilla figure and then give it a sealling layer or will that have problems?

[@CraftyGecko]

Honesty I wouldn't bother doing a coat of red when the figures red anyway. You should be fine just cell shading as long as you seal it well

[@MichealLong-ur4ys]

this is better then hasbro

[@CraftyGecko]

Thanks!

[@41dn]

god i'd love to learn how to shade like that

[@CraftyGecko]

You can do quite a basic shading by painting recesses black and just wiping away the excess

[@ozanylmazyaman3885]

Hi can you tell me how ı should paint my custom figures. What was the color white for example is it for details or somethink else. question 2 sorry about that btw which color and varnish type ı must use acrlyic?

[@CraftyGecko]

I'm sorry I don't understand what you mean

[@hetpoepkindje2465]

I want to do this but I’m not sure if it’s gonna last long. What paint did u use?

[@CraftyGecko]

I used some very cheap paints and it's held up ok, but inwould recommend tamiya spray paints

[@knightofdarkness7166]

Spider-Cobain

[@CraftyGecko]

Haha nice

[@dariodavis56]

So do u not sand down joints? Isnt paint rub a big thing for custom figures?

[@CraftyGecko]

I do sometimes but the majority of joints on this were already red and the black areas I covered with permanent marker

[@jasonpatchen1912]

uncooked spagetti noodle for his cartridges

[@CraftyGecko]

That could work, may be a bit fragile though

[@BigFatMonkey9629]

7:45 looks like carnage lol, you should make Pav next since he looks like he’d fit the body of a marvel legends

[@CraftyGecko]

Haha you're right, he'd probably fit the kid omega body pretty well

[@BigFatMonkey9629]

I also sorta make custom figures, i make marvel characters out of pipe cleaners

[@CraftyGecko]

Oh nice

[@BigFatMonkey9629]

@@CraftyGecko thx

[@johnlloydmiguel970]

What paint did you use for black highlights

[@CraftyGecko]

Black acrylic. Just any standard black acrylic would do. I think I used a warhammer one

[@CYeoung]

Why not use the daredevil body as a base, it’s already fully red and pinless

[@CraftyGecko]

I didnt have one in my box of parts and it's very expensive now. I did want to use that as a base though

[@CYeoung]

@@CraftyGecko oh didn’t know it was expensive now. hopefully they re release it. this one looks good tho 👍 pins just annoy me

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you. Yeah it's being sold second hand for around 60 to 80 in the uk. I'm not a fan of pins either, I've attempted to hide them in some places but pinless would be better

[@Mluera]

could you give a parts list to make this?

[@CraftyGecko]

I think I cover it in the video but it's a renew your vows head, Ben reilly torso and web man arms and legs

[@Mluera]

cool thanks@@CraftyGecko

[@my2randomcents]

What body was that???

[@CraftyGecko]

It's a mix, of fodder parts, but basically the retro body

[@Justimight]

What kind of paint did you use?

[@CraftyGecko]

For which part?

[@Justimight]

The unmasked ben Reilly head

[@CraftyGecko]

Citadels

[@Justimight]

@@CraftyGecko ah cool I love their primers Which color did you use for the skin tone?

[@CraftyGecko]

I'm actually not too sure, sorry. I can't remember the name of the colour and it's covered in paint now. I use it in the invincible video though and I'm sure someone commented what the paint was, so the answer is somewhere in the comments section of the invincible video, sorry I can't be more help

[@DjMixJonathan]

Whats the clay called?

[@CraftyGecko]

Kneadatite or green stuff

[@armandogalvanlopez2737]

Oye que cuerpo usaste de principio

[@CraftyGecko]

It's a mix of different figures, mainly the retro ben reilly

[@kaylarodriguez6527]

The custom is great but they did scarlet spider dirty in the new movie 😭😭😭

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you! They did a little yeah

[@blitz-gammingwr4822]

how much would you sell it?

[@CraftyGecko]

I don't think I would for anything under £100

[@blitz-gammingwr4822]

Thanks for the replay bro @@CraftyGecko

[@CraftyGecko]

@blitz-gammingwr4822 no problem

[@armandogalvanlopez2737]

Cual es la figura que mostraste en el minuto 3:49

[@CraftyGecko]

superior spiderman

[@thomassaulot6116]

scarlet ben rally spider-man and make a copy of spider-man thinking he was the real spider-man until the real spider-man tried to fight him thinking he wanted to help him i think he is in Paris for the first time in 1994 and by the way he is too well done they also created a fake MJ Marie-Jeanne in the cartoon he even specifies that he hated for what he did

[@CraftyGecko]

Yeah he's got a messed up backstory

[@Matt-uc8dd]

So uhhhhh do you sell customs??? No reason.

[@CraftyGecko]

Haha I do

You didn’t say thanks to your girlfriend

[@CraftyGecko]

I definitely did in person

[@adamburgess311]

@@CraftyGecko oh okay GOOD you are a good boy friend and probably great friend to people

[@juvydude]

If I shipped my mafex scarlet spider to you, would you be willing to commission a paint job like this one? 🥹

[@CraftyGecko]

I'm actually working on a commission of that at the moment. I'm fully booked for commissions but will be reopening
