Sexy!...beautiful paint work...I like that harness on him, but something about it...doesn't seem like it's sitting or laying right...
Might I recommend some better lighting out front so we can see the details of you work clearer?

Someday, I'm going to cast a bunch of my jackets, belts, and ties in a thick rubber plastic and walk around town like that.
Awww, don't be like that...throw that harness in front of a hair dryer, put it on the figure, hold snugly in place under cold water...BLAMO!...perfect fit!
Anyway, here's what I was saying about brightening...don't mind photobuckets dumbing down of resolution...

AAAHHHH. dON'T hASBROIZE MY FIGURE!
BTW, I can't find the right bulbs for my light tent. Every place I go, they look at me like I'm nuts.

He looks Amazing!!!!
I agree with Edward though! A few clearer pictures would make it really pop.

Have no idea who this is, but he does look pretty damn cool.
The right accessories can do wonders for a fig.

It's lighting. If I can get the correct bulbs, I can work with a preferable low ISO. The problem with setting higher ISOs is it makes everything grainy. I'm already at 800, I want to be at 200-400. Since I broke my desktop tripod, I also can't have a slow shutter speed because my hand will blur it. I have manipulated the aperture but creates an uncomfortable perspective that makes all of my 1/18 scale weapons look gigantic.
I'm going to try adding two more light sources from the front, if it doesn't work, I'm going to try building a deeper light tent.

He's a modern interpretation of the Sgt. Savage character, Dynamite. Since they brought in the character named Mouse, I thought I'd add some of the crew.
All I have it in right now is in this set.

I put in extra stocks because they are kind of fragile. The holster is designed specifically for this gun. I believe the version on brokenarrow is a little larger without the moving parts. I was going to see if he wanted to make a second one along with the holster.
For the photo nazis.
Is this better? 1/1000 shutter, f5.0 ap, 400 ISO, auto white balance, neutral color
Oh you KNOW that's better 
Think I'm about to do some shopping!...or at least add something's to my SW cart...how are on things besides heads lately Giga?
Why is so little of what you have there available?

That's what I'm talking about!
Amazing Figure

I'm happy with the way the MP9 3rd Gen turned out but between 2nd and 3rd Gen, they change the rules so now all of the wire pieces that connect between model pieces have to be .9mm. Use to be .3mm and was easy break apart. Now with it being .9mm, it's real easy to break the stock trying to remove it. Also, I'm too scared to file the left over nubs from the wires on the stock.
The grenade set I made looked good but is accurately 1/18 so some look tiny in joe hands. I made separate sets that are labelled "joe scale" that are little larger.
Knee pads turned out good but I'm not sure if I have them available.
Trooper Bayonet turned out really nice. The other knife sets I should have on Monday.

Because there are a lot items that are up just for the preview image and will be apart of bulk sets when I get around to arranging them. You don't want to see how much a single handgun costs.
I added the MP9 set to my cart...I'll wait to see what else you make available...I like to let my SW cart build a while...
Plus, now that I'm dealing with this, there isn't a point in making everything for sale when you see all of your hard work get beat.
Yeah, and my electric bill just went up. 5 full spectrum bulbs, lets go for 6!
it was worth it!
It's glued on. I thought about making a left thigh mp9 holster but it couldn't use the stock.
There's some stuff you make Giga that no one else is even attempting...focus on that...maybe add random pouches to your list...
Dragon Models, BBI, Yellow Submarine, Hot Toys, etc, etc, etc...
All make 1:6 M4 assault rifles, just to name one.
What's the problem again?
AND... I've yet to see a proper, production quality M4. With all the crap that MGR is "redoing", and all the stuff that personally seems very un-needed (Joe laser rifle, really?) - why not retool that hideous modular M4 from wave 5? Don't get me wrong - I think it's great that MJ stepped up with this latest batch, but he leaves out the iconic and still highly used, standard M4.
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

My beef is the latest kickstarter they did with almost all models I was working towards getting produced. Mp9 with the laser/scope combo, the flash bang, the baseball style grenade, tec 9, and I'll include the Galil SAR with a folding stock.
I thought when I posted previews of all of those last year that it was strange that MJ called me up "to just chat".

Have you ever seen my lighting. My daughters old side table lamp hanging from a wire. HA HA
Great custom Giga. Digging the head sculpt. Fresh looking fig
