Alternate views of my prospective banner entries. Here's a behind-the-scenes look. As you can see, what's in the pics is pretty much all I set up. A halogen work lamp is the sun (not needed if the actual sun is out :p ), and a small pile of sand is the entire desert. A wide paintbrush...

Forum member Melvin helped me obtain this from China recently (US$89 shipped to Australia). It's the World Peacekeepers Z-9W rocket chopper from M&C Toys/Puzzle Animation Studio. A bit of background: The Zhi-9 (Z-9) army utility helicopter is a license-built version of the Aérospatiale (now...

Before I begin, I have to say that this tute works best with good, clear photos. Photoshop will not make a poorly-taken, blurry photo magically better. I must also say that I am by no means a Photoshop guru. More skilled people will have their own way of doing things, but this way works fine...

I showed this custom briefly last year as a WIP, but he sorta got overlooked - especially with everything I've been doing these last several months. Anyway, here's my take on the original (and the best) dual-pistol-wielding Hong Kong cop/well-dressed assassin/immortal monk (depending on which...

I apologise in advance for these pics. I just finished repainting my Avengers Black Widow, and being a fan of Scarlett Johansson, I just had to pose her with my recently-acquired Marauder weapons. Nothing special about this thread, it's just pure girl-with-guns fetishism on my part, so...

I set this dio up on my workbench for my July banner entry. I didn't really plan anything out; I just posed the figures, took pics, and let the ideas flow. Scarlett, Lady Jaye and Spyral are moving through the ruined streets of a Middle Eastern town. Ongoing cleanup efforts are hampered by...

The new Joe inductees are settling in, and Lady Jaye and Scarlett come down to the barracks to look them over. Spyral appears and barks out, "Ten-HUT!" At parade rest for the inspection. "Carry on, ladies."

I've posted pics of these guys before, but I never thought to review them until now, since nobody seems to know about them. Review is here: http://hobbystop.webs.com/apps/blog/show/14754397-combat-force-figures-by-atco Enjoy!

A hyper-detailed, articulated cardmodel of the Black Lion, apparently with the other lions to follow. Lots of pics here: http://lih203.blogspot.com.au/

I found some Maisto 1/18 diecast cars at Costco for AU$15 apiece, so I got this 1972 Chevelle SS. I quickly threw a little dio together for photos. On her way to a hot date, Scarlett's car starts running rough so she pulls into the Joe motor pool for some help. Luckily, Cover Girl is there...

My custom Cover Girl in mechanic's togs, working in the Joe motor pool. I saw a similar figure on JoeCustoms about a year ago and thought it was a great idea. To cut a long story short, when I saw Tunnel Rat's hanging coveralls, I thought they'd be perfect for a figure like this, and finally...

With the disappointment surrounding the new BBI MH-60 I thought I'd convert my PTE Blackhawk into something similar. Accuracy be damned, I say. Okay, most of you will probably say "Why bother? It's a frickin' underscale PTE toy!" but bear in mind that these are all I have access to, and...

Ispired by NSA's and K-Tiger's ideas and customs, I decided to do this simple little dio. Feel free to post your own customs and ideas in this thread. :)

Just thought I'd share some pics of my custom 1/6 Scarlett. I threw her together from stuff in my 1/6 parts box at my daughter's request. The base body is a BBI "Perfect Body" (very hard to find nowadays). I repainted her face to make it less doll-like. The gloved hands, black long-sleeved...

Lowlight needs some of these, stat! Rick can use them in a dio-story. :) https://share.sandia.gov/news/resources/news_releases/bullet/

Awesome art dios! http://www.behance.net/gallery/Factory-and-office/875551 Everything, including the articulated figures, is scratchbuilt from paper and cardboard. Looks 1/18 as well, judging by this shot.

Anyone know where I can get 1/18 bare feet for a custom? Some people have used SW Yarna D'al Gargan feet, but I'll be damned if I'm buying that fat bitch and be left with a useless, footless figure.

Just a peek at what I've been working on. T-Bone (Mini-Me LBC) and Lady Jaye join Scarlett.

While the new Scarlett figure is arguably the best version yet, the face is a bit of a letdown. It's an attractive headsculpt and the factory paint apps don't do it justice. I thought I'd remedy it so I broke out my paints and 5/0 brush last night. While I was at it, I dirtied up her outfit...

It's late afternoon. Echo Team, accompanied by Spyral, travel through a wooded area on their way to their objective - the outskirts of a small town. The sun has set and the team reaches the objective to find an unexpected roadblock. Instantly alert, the two sharpshooters give the area a...
