    ALIENS up-link tower

    I had this sprawling complex planned for my Colonial Marines to investigate ala the colony in the movie ALIENS. I decided to start with something "small" to see how it would go, so I went with this "up-link" tower...which is just another word "satellite tower". It started out as a plastic 32oz...

    They have the dog pictured with it's haunches sitting really low, looks like it's about to mark some territory.

    Custom Colonial Marines

    I know this isn't "real world" military, but as there is no clarification, I figured I'd put these here. If any mod wants to move this to a more appropriate place, that's cool. O.k., I finally have my squad of custom Marines finished, the ONLY thing missing is personal graffiti...and I'm...

    Custom ReAction Rick Deckard/Blade Runner

    I made this mostly because I had enough spare parts sitting around when the idea hit. All the parts come from ReAction retro-style figures. Body-Marcellus Wallace (Pulp Fiction) Head-Kane (Alien) Coat-vinyl cover off an old 3-ring binder Pistol-LEGO weapon from Brickmania Not much re-working...

    It's not any more or less fragile than most other 1:18th vehicles. It does have lots of small moving parts, so there is always a possibility of breakage if you get to carried away with posing. I have the PL myself, I think $42 is a decent price.

    Changing the hands, run them under hot water for a minute or so, they should pop out easily. As for making the joints tighter, try squirting a little elmers school glue into the joint. Work the joint every few minutes to get the glue into the joint. You can also use super glue instead of...

    I don't know if they have said what the figure is. Regardless, a few days ago on HIYA's FB page they stated they only had 30% of the pre-orders needed to go ahead with this. I was pretty disappointed to hear this but if it falls through, there is another option for an APC, it just won't have...

    Custom ReAction Newt

    Yeah, the white is the putty and it's hard to cover all of that, especially back between the hair and neck.

    Custom ReAction Newt

    I know you guys don't like ReAction figures, but humor me, this is one of the few places I can even come close to posting this. The base figure was an E.T. Gertie. I sculpted the top of the overalls (front and back) and the visible shoulder suspender, hair and repainted the whole thing. Used...

    Our war kits

    If I'm seeing the same gun as pcs, I don't think that's a buccaneer pistol, I *think* that's a sawed off shotgun.

    I don't suppose anyone will be ordering from Brick Arms anytime soon? They have a pistol I want to order for a completely different custom, but feel a bit silly only ordering one or two.

    Just placed my order for the HIYA Toys APC from DCBS for a total of $220. Probably saved myself $20+ ordering through them on their preorder.

    Colonial Marine paint job

    *sigh* That's the problem of being an extreme fan. I can paint the vehicles all day long, and have done several times in model form. But CAMO.....that shit ain't easy, though some people here make it look easy. Here's another photo, although I've done more since this was taken. I'm now down...
