A few new pics of my updated custom Scarlett.
You may have a chance to win this figure in an upcoming contest.
Stay tuned.
You did a great job on that head. I wouldn't mind a chance to win her.

Yeah, I'll need to sand down the man-jaw good.
The base body is exactly the same as Renegades Scarlett, and is one of the better female bods that Hasbro has released.
Thanks man! Did you mean the digital camo on Lady Jaye? That's the stock figure, I haven't modded her yet.
Looks like LJ went shopping with the Magpul and SOPMOD catalogues.
Thanks bro!
Thanks. I have the same treatment in mind for LJ.
As for the contest, you gotta be in it to win it!

Finally had the chance to take some outdoor shots.
My 1/6 Power Team/World Peacekeeper "Ranger" and "EOD Technician" which I modified with leftovers from the ol' spares box.
Is it just me, or does the guy on the left look like a cross between James Hetfield and Joss Whedon?
My custom 1/6 Lara Croft.

Finally got the 1/6 Lara Croft I bought from Keenan:
Thanks, buddy!
First thing I did was transfer the Angelina head onto a Triad Alpha body for improved posability and a closer skintone match. I gave her my original custom Lara's outfit and gear to make Movie Lara:
I then put the Game outfit on my original body/head combo:
They look great and display well together.

A couple of crappy shots of my Ret. Lady Jaye WIP. I've repainted her face, but I'm not completely happy with the result. Gonna try again.

Looking good!...though I think she'd look even better if you heat up that vest in front of a blow dryer and press it against her shoulders for a better tighter fit and then hold her under cold water...
It's really loose on her though. I'd use it if I could find a way to shrink it.
I'm experimenting with medical "Micropore" tape, layered together and painted, to make my own vest and webbing.
Someone here (I forgot who, sorry) uses it for rifle slings, and I figure it's a good substitute for micro-canvas.

I know that stuff. Back during my highschool football years we would use it as "pre wrap" for wrapped ankles and wrists. It's extremely thin, seems like you'll have to layer it quite a bit
Four or five layers should do it, I think. I'm refining the paper pattern first.
I'd use hockey tape if I had access to some.
I use medical tape soaked in alcohol and (Rolling Stones here I come) paint it black.
Still working on the homemade vest.
I tried this webgear on her and I think it looks better that what she had previously.

I actually used that vest on a LJ torso but cut it to fit better and did the blowdryer trick to it...it looks MUCH better with a tighter fit...I also cut those two hanging pockets off...I think you should work that one on fled...it looks really good fitted...
After going through this thread, the word "impressed" doesn't begin to describe my thoughts. Your eye for detail, the custom work (on figures, vehicles, diorama sets, accessories, lighting, photography, etc. etc.) you do, and your presentation is off the funking chain. I envy the harem of hotties you must possess, with your skill.
Seriously, very incredible work on all aspects.

Thanks man, I appreciate the kind words.
However, for every 1 good pic that I post, there are at least 5 (often 10) that are pretty bad. My hard drive is full of unused dio and figure photos that will never see the light of day.
I totally forgot about these (from Sept 2011):

They're tinplate display pieces like this:
I found some cheap ones, stuffed them with paper towels, doused them in rubbing alcohol and set fire to them.
I used a garden hose to put the fire out, then left them outdoors to rust the exposed metal.

"Land of Song!" said the warrior bard,
"Tho' all the world betray thee,
One sword, at least, thy rights shall guard,
One faithful harp shall praise thee!"
The Minstrel fell! But the foeman's chain
Could not bring his proud soul under;
The harp he lov'd ne'er spoke again,
For he tore its cords asunder;
And said "No chains shall sully thee,
Thou soul of love and bravery!
Thy songs were made for the pure and free
They shall never sound in slavery!"
