    October banner contest-Blood and/or brains

    Well with Septembers contest winding down it's time to get ready for October. This theme HAS to have blood. No getting around it. One thing though, no photo manipulation so this one has to be done all natural. No photo shop. Fake blood should be showing up soon in stores so it is a perfect...

    Rudy Greer

    Rudy Greer is Doc's younger, troubled brother. While Doc went on to help people and take the pacifist approach to life, Rudy was busy being in and out of jail while living at their grandparents. Their parents wrote him off after he was jailed for a gang related stabbing. When he got out he...

    Watermarks

    I see a lot of really nice customs and dioramas coming in especially as of late so I just wanted to remind everyone that it's not a bad idea to watermark your work. It doesn't take long and can be done in batches. It wouldn't hurt if you are sharing news too. People will try to claim what...

    Mountain Ambush

    This was just a set up I did for the banner contest. Didn't really have time to set up a story but I will revisit this again. It gave me a few ideas while working on it. Duke calls in for back up while Hawk pulls the injured to safety. Now, they just have to figure where they are getting...

    Suggestions for Slayer Designs

    Just like the title says. What would you guys like to see offered? Considering this site has a different taste than most others I'm sure everyone could come up with some good ideas.

    Jungle SEAL boat

    Here's a project I had on the back burner for a long time. I kind of rushed the painting so some of the deck got missed but only where I could not get the sponge. I'm by no means a someone who is good at detail. I just needed function for some dioramas. Had to use black instead of darker...

    2011 Deployed Fighting 118th

    Well this is kind of short notice but I figured I'd see if we can get something. Last year the site had Trudy for the convention. She is still going but maybe we can get another mascot to travel with her. It will get in SDCC photos and things like that I imagine. Kind of like a traveling...

    2011 Canada Con Spook Review

    Figure from 2011 Canada Convention boxed set Now for my favorite. Spook is the night ops for the bad guys and is really an awesome figure. Unfortunately there were issues with him but they can easily be overlooked with how cool this is in person. It also has function even with the blue on...

    2011 Canada Con Mudslinger Review

    Figure from 2011 Canada Convention box set Mudslinger is the saboteur in the group. He is in the top 3 of the ones I like from the set. It is a toss up between him and Take Down for the #2 spot. This figure is equipped with a Slayer head and pretty bare bones on parts. The paint and dye...

    2011 Canada Con Coyote Trooper Review

    Figure from the 2011 Canada Convention box set Coyote trooper is the grunt of the bad guys from up north. The figure is a hair fugly but it's nice to see the Canada Con make a troop builder. Don't let the colors deter you from the figure though. It's actually pretty cool. The joints are...

    2011 Canada Con Captain Ruin Review

    Figure is part of the 2011 Canada Convention boxed set Captain was the first figure that was introduced when showing the box set. He is labeled as intelligence but to me he looks more like an interrogator. The figure actually has some good gear for someone with his title. Very few paint...

    2011 Canada Con Valkrie Review

    Figure is part of the 2011 Canada Convention boxed set Valkrie is the Canucklehead's infantry. She comes with a rifle and that is it. The colors on her are actually very well done for red and white. All the reds, even though they are different colors (from the dye on different plastic) look...

    2011 Canada Con Traceroute Reveiw

    Figure from the 2011 Canada Convention Traceroute is the counter cyber-terrorism specialist on the team. He is probably the equivalent of Data Frame I'm guessing. An interesting mix of parts were used for him considering he would probably be inside most of the time. Either way, the figure...

    2011 Canada Con Take Down Review

    Figure from the 2011 Canada Convention box set. Take down is the Canuckles drill instructor. The figure is one of the better constructed of the set I feel. It does not have too many extras that make it bulky or unable to hold a weapon. One thing that does hinder that is the Roadblock type...
