Fantastic paint job on that horse!...before I scrolled down to the "before shot", I just thought it was a mini stone statue...

Have you ever checked a Cost Plus World Market for trinkets?...they've got a ton of worldly oddities...

 

[Mr. Black]

It's good to be back in painting mode:

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

That's some good looking sculpting!

 

[Mr. Black]

Thanks man. Time consuming though. And these two involved a lot more sculpting than I had anticipated. Glad to be painting them now, though!

Never head of it.

They have the best collection of hard to find foods, beverages and snacks

Is that a prof. X painted all black?

And is that a knife in place of the one hand?

 

[K-Tiger]

That IS a knife hand. Unfortunately I don't have a matched articulated set to spare, so I decided to stick that in the stump for fun.

And, no, this isn't a repainted Prof. It's a MiB buck with lower arms from DC Cobra Commander so it has the elbow swivel. I plan on doing articulated ankles but all I have on hand are DC Shippy's feet, and I'm not a fan of the no-skid Wal-Mart work sneakers.

I mainly wanted to see if I could bring the MiB articulation up to snuff, and I think I have. That missing elbow swivel really was the big draw back and now I know it's a 5 minute fix.

Reminds me of the Secret Service guys from Black Ops 2 Zombies.

 

[K-Tiger]

SS is about the best use for them, I think.

Wish I had a trilby for him to wear. It would go well with the '60s-like cut of the suit.

Guys, I can't do anymore customs. As it turns out, I don't know how to paint. Hell, I even sometimes have problems removing those pesky leg screws so I usually just do vest swaps and occasionally swap out heads if I can muster the strength to pop off the heads.

I attempted to paint, but I have a problem holding a brush. It's sort of like chopsticks, the pesky things are hard to hold right. (Although it could be that I'm trying to hold two at the same time.)

LBCs it is for me.

I haven't gotten to the one thread yet, but I'm certain what it contains and that ^^ post are related

I am confused...

 

[Mandingo Rex]

I am confused...

Just some egotistical cunt on another site getting my comment about another custom confused with his "awesome" work and he felt the need to try and diss me.

I'd link the comment but the Hisstapo already deleted both his dig and my vanilla post.

 

[MMorelock66]

Something for some Gundam shots.

I see...I am curious who the egotist was....would you PM me? Just for fun.

Reclaimed by nature, the ruins lay abandoned for a perfect area for ninja battles and jungle operations.

Awesome...

and more awesome.

Oooooo!...dig'n the dios Matt!

 

[MMorelock66]

Thanks fellas!

 

[K-Tiger]

Decided to do some work on my most ancient and wicked Chap Mei RPG launcher. Not sure Why I like it, as there are many better options out there. Didn't quite shoot the works, but I did drill the sight so I could do the yellow "lens" mod, as well as drilled out the eye piece and exhaust nozzle.

I still think the wood needs some work, and I haven't touched the bandoleer but I'll get to all that eventually.

Before: (mine was in pretty bad shape, factory paint was flaking badly and it need some repairs.)

After:

 

[MMorelock66]

Holy fuck KT. That looks all sorts of awesome.

 

[K-Tiger]

Thanks. I'm thinking maybe I should cut the warhead off, drill out the tube and then use modified, removable Hasbro RPG 7 rounds in it.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

That looks great!...very very nice paint work mang

 

[K-Tiger]

Any of you ARAHfags know if Hasbro did something like the AGM-22/SS.11?

I figured the Skystriker gun pods worked well enough, maybe they can provide missiles for my Huey, too.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

MMS? What part are you looking for, the rocket, or the pod?

 

[K-Tiger]

MMS? What part are you looking for, the rocket, or the pod?

The MMS missiles was based on the MIM-23 Hawk. I have three of those and they're big (hang them off a 1:18 jet for added awesome). These would be in the ballpark of Scrap Iron's missiles.

Dammit, I forgot to dig out that Locust again.

Anyway, parts are starting to come together. May be able to get to work on my female Kiowa driver. Really need to order a head and helmet from StarWarsGeek.

 

[starwarsgeek]

 

[MMorelock66]

Ohhhhhh!

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

I really need to start making customs for cash.

 

[starwarsgeek]

Honestly, it's not worth it after all is said and done. If I get more than $40 for this Firefly it will be a lot.

 

[K-Tiger]

Yeah, unless you're pulling Jin Saotome-like auction prices I'm not sure the hassle is worth it.

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

So I need to have my friends inflate the bidding?

No, really I was thinking of doing commissions for members here, if they wanted something.

 

[K-Tiger]

Now that I could be down for!

 

[starwarsgeek]

Little more work done... custom sling, custom belt w/holster, goggles, etc...

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

That's a great looking modern FF!
