    Custom Fisher Price X-ray man

    I love the line of space figures Fisher Price made for their Adventure People, so I had to try and make an updated version of the X-ray man. I used an early MU Iceman, used RIT dye to get the color and sculpted some hair. The chest design was all painted by hand, looks a little wonky, but...

    Aeon Flux (Fogger, K, this one's for you!)

    Built on a Microwoman flesh blank with some Catwoman and scratch built parts. I think the head came from the Baroness that came with the Cobra Prosessional pack that was out around the time the VvV line was on shelves? Face tone doesn't match the rest of the body very well. She can hold her...

    Random 1:18th figure group photos?

    Would anyone like a thread dedicated to pictures of random groupedp 1:18th figures? It sounds a lot like the "house wars" thread Eddie started, but not really posed, just pictures of whatever figures you want lined up next to each other....sort of like a police line-up. I just like seeing...

    Micronaut bad guy

    I posted this in the "on the workbench" thread. He just needed a few things to finish him up. Painted his torso with some black stained glass paint, gave his head a black wash to bring out the details, added the chest plate. Not sure what to call him, maybe he could be a newer version of...

    female head with flight cap

    Would anyone know where I could find a female head wearing a flight cap of sorts? I've looked over the various resin copy sites but haven't seen it. Does one of the female October Guard figures have this look?

    NECA Hudson accessory

    Well, with his facial expression, you can't make a proper scene without making a custom accessory....so here it is, the bit of smoking wreckage picked up by Hudson right before his famous "Game over man" line. I made it out of styrene, cotton swab sticks and bits cut off of a 1:18th Obi Wan...

    DSB's Aliens customs part 2

    Again, nothing to thrilling. No name, but he will be the Lieutenant of my Colonial Marine fire team. Patches were taken from google image searches and scaled down through trial and error then glued on using Elmer's school glue.

    DSB's Aliens customs part 1

    Nothing too exciting, they pretty much look like civilians. The first one is an android that will be attached to my Marine unit. No name yet. I know he's got a bit of a giraffe neck, and I was going to fix that, but it kinda grew on me...added to his "artificial person" look. I still need...

    Do you seal your figures?

    If you create a figure with a custom paint job, do you seal it when you're done?

    Suggestions for Aliens civilian/work vehicles

    So you guys know that I'm slowly working on an Aliens type universe with Colonial Marines and what-not. Now I assume most of you have seen the movie, and when the Marines land on LV426 and go to inspect the colony, there are a few vehicles sitting around. My question to you is this...what...

    Die Hard question

    Anyone know what the bag was that MClane carries for most of the movie? I don't have the movie myself and google searches don't really help.

    King Willie head suggestion?

    Anyone know of a good match for this guy? I don't care what the source is and yes, I've asked about this before. I hope that enough time has passed that maybe something new will come to light. I remember Mace Windu being posted last time, so don't bother with that. I want something with a...

    Preventing dye-jobs from bleeding through?

    Is there anything I can do to stop this? I looked through my customs a few days ago and many of the ones that I dyed are now bleeding through the paint. How can this be? I thought acrylic paint was the same as solid plastic once it was dry...shouldn't that have locked in the dye? What...

    Possible prop, arcade cabinet

    I saw the Pac-Man version of this at TRU. Listings describe it as being 3.25" tall but it seemed shorter than that in hand. I like that they are made out of metal, these also remind me of the old school card stock versions from the 80's. http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/f38c/?srp=1
