That helmet sculpt is finally nailed in 3 3/4inch.

Thank the maker! I have always hated the sloped dome on the previous versions, especially from the back. Thanks for posting the comparison shots.

I'd love to get my hands on a few of these new 5 poa troopers, just for those heads.

I wonder how close this new helmet is to the GG bust-ups helmet. I still have a couple helmet casts from that, I'll have to throw one on a Black trooper and see how it compares to your pic.

Well, decided to stop bitching and got to work on my Chap Mei RPG. Have three warheads (though I fucked one up, and can't find my other Hasbro RPG 7 to harvest a new head), and now I need to do some paint and work making the boosters relatively uniform, then it's just working on the bandolier so the two spare rounds are removable on it.

TL;DR version:


Damn, that's Chap Mei? Gotta look into that. Could work like a charm for this one:

...I really need to get back to my Afro Samurai project!

Yeah, it's kind of an RPG-7/Type 69 hybrid. Dunno if it's being packed with the True Heroes stuff. I've had it for years.

No, I'm not doing some kind of weird, alt-history Nazbra hyena cavalry, just doing a German cavalry lance prop for the Schleich nursery. Working on a bladed weapon display at the same time.

They are. I've done the pennant, but can't think of a good way to attach it, so I guess it'll sit on top of one of the cabinets with a helmet on top of it. *shrugs*.

Current "new" old project. The white paint gave me fits of rage so I abandoned it, but am now reenergized enough to start again. I've sanded the hips and knees, and I need to move on to cracking the torso so I can get some bare arms on there. I have to admit that this has me running scared.

It's gonna be rough. My white Testors turned into a ball of useless shite, so I'm going to have to go fetch a new jar.

Nope, the acrylic in the round jar. Pissed me right the fuck off.

Losing to Eddie sparked me to scrap my last Sub Zero custom.

Nahhh not really. Just wanting to do something sorta new, plus there will be a few more coming down the road.

That's looking sweet! Subs is my favorite MK character after Scorpion.

If people are having a hard time finding that figure, the body was used for Doc Samson, Thunderball, and the ever popular Gladiator.

Anyone know of any bare, not-too-muscular dude arms? I need them for my project a few posts back, but all I can think of is Namor, and I think those have seen too many reps at the gym.



Oh, and I be doin' this:

I was leaning more towards MU, as bare Joe arms tend to be uncommon. I was thinking a Spiderman figure, if one without texture could be found easily.

I imagine modification will be needed to fit the MIB torso, too. Painting isn't an issue, as I'm gonna have to repaint all the skin to match anyhow.

Any other figures using the ones from MU Symbiote Spiderman? Perhaps Iceman has those?


Gotta keep my eyes out for skinny bitch-ass dud figures. :D OH, and while I'm asking, any '80s head sculpts out there. I mean, with unmistakably bad 1980s hair. This project could go in one of two directions, and the head sculpt will decide.

I may need to take the torso out with me and slap it up next to whatever is on the pegs.
