Nice review. The only sets I can find here are the crappy guard tower and motorbike.

Don't put ideas in my head! :D I lightly pencilled them on, then painted them with a 5/0 brush and acrylic paint. Unfortunately that's the only one I have. I lost the others in a hard drive crash 10 years ago. I found mine on eBay listed as a "Puzzle Animation" APC (the original Chinese...

Thanks for the tips. I'm a cheapskate though (or "budget hobbyist"), and tend to use things I have lying around (like the chalks, PTE action figures, etc). :D EDIT: FYI, I do know a thing or two about models and weathering - two of my models have won trophies in local IPMS competitions. You...

Almost done with this one. I've been planning a photo series of a toy version of Operation Gothic Serpent (aka Black Hawk Down) and I've been very slowly gathering the figures and vehicles I need. This is my latest one. I realise the APCs in the movie are different, but the Type 92s were also...

Just resize this as needed and print it out.

Looks awesome. I like the display base too.

I have one too, which I'm painting up in UN colours. It's a cool vehicle.

I'm nearly done with my custom Lara. I just need to make her holsters and the gear on her belt. Here's the recipe: Head - ROC Cover Girl - I ripped the rubbery hair off and sculpted a new hairdo with epoxy putty. I used the quick-setting kind so I only had 5 minutes to work, which is why...

Great set, especially after the weathering! Yeah, those five "pegs" at the top are safety bollards.

Awesome little movie featuring the Kaiyodo FFVII action figures: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPl_kpwyAyA

I got these "Crysis 2" figures cheap, and did a mini-dio on my workbench to show them off. I don't play the game, so in my toy-verse these guys are some sort of elite first-strike troopers.

Cool camo work!

Damn, these are awesome! Did you use acetone to shrink the heads?

That looks awesome! Thanks for the review.

Badass work, Rick!

Looks real good man. I should get off my ass and paint mine too.

I also covered up the hollow undersides of the stock wings. I didn't have enough sheet styrene, so I used medium-weight cardboard. After careful measuring I cut holes for the underwing hardpoints. I added (inaccurate) panel detail by sticking on shapes made of thin card and tape. I glued...

Agreed. Very cool custom, man!

After putting this off for over a month, I finally pulled my finger out and repainted my PTE A-10. I used mostly hardware store rattle cans: Flat Black primer, followed by Forest Green and Machinery Grey, and Tamiya Olive Green. Here's the factory version (medium grey with a wash)...

Great blending of figures from different lines. He looks badass. And yes, his sword should lie edge-up.
