    Photoshop Tute: Rain!

    You can also use actual images from google images of rain and then do a "select color range" on the black or blue background, then "inverse selection," then paste into photo and add motion blur as described above. I use the same process for snow.

    Diglers Little Birds

    How are you making those plastic parts? Molding? Carving? 3D printing?

    Customizing Target's BBI A10 Warthog

    I'm less concerned about scale being perfect, and more worried about making the existing frame look as cool as possible. For example, that stupid trigger thing needs to go, etc. I guess I'll just start hitting it and see where it goes. Thanks, guys. And Picklehaube, it's totally impressive that...

    Customizing Target's BBI A10 Warthog

    Anyone made this thing work for them yet? It needs some serious overhauling, like removing the pistol grip/trigger, new paint (of course) and more. Would love some ideas, tips or advice on how best to tackle it. It's the electronic Elite Force A10 Warthog that sold at Target last year...

    Dumpsters!

    My 1:12 scale dumpster! Used cardboard, tape, a thin dowel and paint. Oh, and I printed the stickers/signs from my computer.

    Custom SpecOps Quad/ATV WIP

    Some work in progress shots of my SpecOps quad/ATV. The second shot also shows a glimpse of the Afghan home in Kunar diorama I'm working on. (EDIT: I added a couple pics of the house below) Still need to build up the load, add straps, attach the bedroll and attach an AT4 rocket launcher across...

    Imperial army

    Got a set of six Imperial Marines online for $18 recently. Looks like I'm getting some Marines from the wife for xmas, so I'm stoked!

    Imperial army

    Your Pacific campaign pics blow me away every time. So good. I recently got some Japs (excuse the term, but I'm talking in WWII parlance) as part of a lot recently, so now I really need some U.S. Marines. They aren't as cheap or plentiful as most WWII U.S. soldiers...but I'll get some eventually.

    Possible new WWII BBI on the way?

    It would be so awesome to see some new WWII goodness at Target!

    1:18 Apollo Astronauts

    I have a bunch of these sets, but the guys don't have such nice heads. I also didn't get that piece of rocky terrain in mine. I have a mars rover thingy (in background of my F4 photo), the moon buggy (shown here and in my F4 pic) and a Satellite recovery set. Moon buggy and Rover sets were...

    Insurgent Leader: Hajji Al Manjammi

    Not overly complicated, but this is my first 1:18 scale custom, aside from a few minor paint aps on some figs and other minor tweaks. I also used to do a lot of GI Joe ARAH era mashups many years ago. I wrote up what I did to this below the photo... Insurgent Commander Hajji Al...

    TRADE THREAD?

    Hey. Sorry if this is wrong place. Does Fighting 1:18th have a trade thread somewhere? I have a spare Barnes from Platoon figure I'm looking to trade. Please DM me or post here, or tell me where I should be posting this. Thanks.

    1/18 MAISTO Humvee custom painted

    What's the strap on the bumper, up to the snorkel? Something you rigged up in your actual Humvee to keep that side of the bumper in place?

    1/18 MAISTO Humvee custom painted

    This is great! I have Maisto and several from BigLots! World Peacekeepers line. They are nicely scaled and look pretty good, but they are not very durable and definitely need some paint to look accurate. They feel a little lightweight and cheap unpainted. On the upside, they only cost $20.
