OSR CUSTOM SHOWCASE: Fullmetal’s 1/6 Customs

On behalf of this joint project by One Sixth Republic and myself, monkeyboner, welcome to what is planned to be a weekly showcase for the wonderful and talented 1/6th scale figure customizers (apparently the word customizer isn’t recognized by the dictionary but we aim to make it legit!). Each week we will shine the spotlight on an artist or team of artists to find out more about their craft and to present their amazing work to the rest of the world. If you have any suggestions as to who to feature in the upcoming weeks, feel free to shoot me an email at arthurliam@gmail.com.

FULLMETAL’S 1/6 CUSTOMS

Probably one of the more unique 1/6 scale customizers today is Fullmetal’s 1/6 Customs. What sets these guys apart is that their products, be it small cutlery to full 1/6 scale automobiles, are almost entirely built from scratch and from actual metal materials. Started as a hobby by Jonathan de Guzman from Bulacan, Philippines, fabricating accessories, vehicles and dioramas is now his full time endeavor. Read on to learn more and prepare your collective minds to be blown away at the craftsmanship and details that make up Fullmetal Custom’s product catalog.

GEEWHIZ CUSTOMS

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines the term Gee Whiz as ‘characterized by wide-eyed enthusiasm, excitement, and wonder’. Well, you’d be hard pressed to not share that sentiment when you see the work of GeeWhiz Customs headed by Bleau Aquino from Manila, Philippines. Their services include One Sixth Scale Tailoring, Diorama Building, and Commissioned 1/6 Figures. Bleau and his team recently won the top prize for his Super Mario entry for the Philippine One Sixth Kolektor’s Video Game Custom Figure Contest that was held at the Collecticon event in September, 2014.
