For my purposes, she wouldn't need articulation if I was going to keep her "as-is" for regular use. I want to convert her into a character seen in ALIENS, and for that, she needs articulation. Those WM Jeeps were pretty cool, the only thing that turned me off were the thick wheels. The JP...

The JW/Park figures are really nice, I wish they would have given them wrist articulation. I started cutting on Maise last night to graft some elbow joints to her....I'm almost positive it's not going to look or work very good. Also....NOT buying figures is pretty easy at the moment. We are...

Once you get back into it, I bet you'd pick it right back up. The stuff I've done is easy in comparison to what you've done, I think what I've done is called "slump" molding? It's just one side of one item with the opposite side glued to the mold container base. The rubber I've used is that...

I love these! May I ask how you got that grainy rust effect? I've tried applying a layer of glue and then sprinkling it with a fine powder, but then trying to get the paint on the dust itself is impossible. I suppose you could add dust that is already the right color, but I've never seen such...

Was the base a Jurassic Park Jeep? These look great!

I was buying them up like crazy to bolster my ranks of civilians to use in my ALIENS universe, but then I found out they are way to short when posed with my Colonial Marines, so I stopped getting them. I have Sam Neil and the lady from the first JP movie, then I have Owen and the little girl...

Is that version of Terminator new? And that LED Pennywise....wowwee!

The mold boxes I built, I used cardboard, foam board, I even used laminated floor panels on one....really it was whatever I had on hand that was cheap or free, Hell, I even used clay a few times. Glued them together with hot glue (not the clay molds of course). There were a few times I didn't...

All out of mold material for the time being. :( If I went with something other than what's at Hobby Lobby, I might get more for my money.

You got Jeff Goldblum? I saw him a few weeks back and thought really hard about buying him....I mean, he's Jeff freaking Goldblum!

Contraband, I have that JW Jeep, it's pretty nice and wasn't much more expensive than that Wal-Mart Jeep....and I don't even need to fiddle with the tires on the JW version. :) Also, I've got into molding and casting a little bit myself over the last year. Just a few pieces that I needed...

You saw what I'm up to, can't wait to see what new projects you have. The last thing I remember from you was some sort of Jeep you found at Wal-Mart and you had just started modifying it. Did you get to finish that?

Just saw your PM, glad to see you again, but sad to hear about your divorce. :( Glad to have you back! :)

Which is also pretty much exactly what I did with that 1:18 camper vehicle that could only be bought from Germany for 100's of $$, but then showed up on Amazon a few years ago for almost nothing. Got one, weathered the wheels.....and nothing since then.

I could, but like I said, I wanted to somehow stay away from the "it's sci-fi, paint it silver!" trap...but I may have no choice. I've been researching farm and agricultural vehicles as they seem to be the closest cousin to what I'm doing here, and their interiors are often pretty bland, gray...

I'm tempted to pick that up, but I have no idea what I'd do with it.

Yet more work done. Found a lighter tone for the base color to give it some weathering, did some painting and detailing to the cab interior, painted and attached some detail to the outside of the cab. I think I'll be painting a white strip across the front and along both sides to break it up a...

Here's a photo of some of the mini arcade cabinets. The one I have is Galaxian and I'm pretty impressed how great the game plays and the graphics look, it seriously is just like playing a shrunken arcade game! The sound effects might not be 100% accurate, but they aren't way off either. I...

Sorry Ed, I don't actually have any of this stuff except one of the mini arcade cabinets. And I have to add that I am pretty impressed with the vehicles at WM. The doors at least on the drivers side opened (other side was blocked by the box) and it looked like a figure could actually fit...

-almost 1:18th arcade cabinet from Wal-Mart that actually has a working/playable game...for $5! Top of the cabinet is eye level with most figures, but works great with kid sized figures....did I mention it was $5 BUCKS!! -bag of dogs and cats at Dollar Tree. The cats aren't 1:18th, but most of...
