On the Workbench

[Midget]

Figured we should re-do the thread. I found it useful to motivate me to actually finish stuff!

 

[K-Tiger]

Nothing at the moment. Had an idea for an Abrams, but then i got a clue and remembered i don't have the skill or patience to execute the mods i want to do.

 

[Midget]

Added pics of Wet-Suit, Modern Gung-Ho and a semi-blurry pic of a Nick Fury custom I'm working on. My camera is charging and my phone is not the best thing for figures.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

where'd the cap come from on yer G-H?...it doesnt look like the standard Hasbro version

 

[Midget]

Sculpted it. Well, my attempt at sculpting. It's the standard Hasbro one with proper 8-point corners on it. I still need to paint it. It's a little wonky. I can't decide if I want to attach it or not.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

looks good from where i am

 

[Midget]

I still need to paint match the arms, sculpt the moose-stach up and camo up the vest. Should look pretty good. Mostly using Dusty parts, surprising.

 

[SR_501]

Still need to finish ARAH Recondo. Then after that Tackling some Night Vipers in some German camo maybe...

 

[darthdre758]

I just won a pretty cheap POC Vamp on eBay. I want to do something with it (besides trash it...I know some of you would probably suggest that...heh).

Suggestions?

 

[SR_501]

New wheels and a up armor it. Other than that trash it.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

gonna have to agree with SR...and look at NSAs and Ricks humvees for some ideas too

 

[Big Jim]

right now? way to much is on the bench, but damned hasbro comes out with better parts for my customs and I need to redo them

 

[xhairs]

looking good my man.

 

[K-Tiger]

Off the work bench, as it were:

Cobra urban assault units have taken to using a Zyklon derivative in gas grenades to royally screw up the Joe team's day. Now that'd be a dio pic, replicating replicating an attack with cyanide gas.

 

[fogger1138]

Looks good.

 

[Midget]

Man, that does look good.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

nice decals...where'd ya get them?

 

[Midget]

I think he made them, if I remember correctly.

 

[K-Tiger]

Yup. I wish they were decals, but they're paper labels, which i suppose is technically more correct.

 

[Midget]

They look realistic

 

[K-Tiger]

They work well enough for this purpose.

The "Vorsicht!" label is actually cut off a print of a high voltage sign. I got a couple of radioactive labels ready, so i'll do a couple of radioactive barrels next, or maybe a biological waste barrel as i have more of those labels ready, too. Thinking a white barrel with some rust and gore.

Cobra: Not really all that careful.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

yeah, i'm sure they don't worry too much about OSHA

 

[K-Tiger]

Not if they're building an undead army.,

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

even if they weren't

 

[K-Tiger]

My Cobra aren't a bunch of hair-brained scheme-hatching pussies.


Fuck the environment, fuck fuck fuck the environment.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

anyway you look at it, any universe, i think Cobras attitude is still the same as yours

 

[Dropshipbob]

Nice work on the barrel K. Love the weathering.

 

[K-Tiger]

I went ahead and sacrificed a ST for Viper conversion. Now, if only the goddamn basecoat would dry so i could finish painting the damn thing.

The lower legs turned out to need more work than one would think. People are gonna shit when they here you have to break out a dremel on a ST.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

geeze, what needed that much surgery?

 

[K-Tiger]

The ST lower knee joint will not line up with the Viper lower joint, so it has to be cut away. Quite a bit, in fact.


The ST lowers will go back on just fine, but i imagine they'd suffer from ARAH knee flop.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

ahhh, i know exactly what yer talk'n bout Willis...the knee joint for the ST is HUGE huh?

 

[K-Tiger]

That it is. Still, i got it done, as it were.

Not sure why the Fusion is still tacky on the Viper head, but everything else is ready.

 

[Midget]

I've been having trouble with Fusion lately. It's all been tacky, and I can't seem to get it to adhere properly.

 

[K-Tiger]

I don't know if it was faulty prep, or if this particular variant of Fusion (hammered) doesn't like the plastic the head is made of.

May have to break out the high octane alcohol and start over/use a different Fusion.

 

[SR_501]

Used Fusion once, Color spotted up. Never using it again. Going back to primer and an airbrush for base coats. Side note, I wish it would stop raining so I could start/finish some projects.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

been working my busted foam wall..heres part of whats gonna come out of the hole in the wall...

 

[Dropshipbob]

I have problems with Krylon fusion on most action figures, there's always at least one part or area that remains tacky no matter how long I let it dry.

Eddie, that wall is looking great!

 

[K-Tiger]

I decided to hang my OH-58D and my MD 500, and right now i'm working on attaching the M296 that Dropship sent me from his Kiowa to the Defender's weapons plank.

 

[XOC2008]

Ohh oh! Wait! I know! Is it the kool-aid man?!

 

[fogger1138]

I decided to hang my OH-58D and my MD 500, and right now i'm working on attaching the M296 that Dropship sent me from his Kiowa to the Defender's weapons plank.

I think I'm going to end up hanging several of mine, I just haven't yet.
