    WWI rifle?

    I don't know much about weapons, but is the rifle in this picture a match for what U.S. soldiers used in WWI?

    Terminator Salvation figs @ Dollar Tree

    I read on another board that Terminator Salvation figures are showing up at Dollar Tree. I checked mine and found nothing, but I also didn't see the Prince of Persia line here. If any of you happen across these, could you help a brother out and pick up four or five of the endoskeletons...

    Insect arms?

    Anyone have suggestions on where I can get a set of human arms that look insect-ish? I thought about those Geonosian warriors from SW, but I don't think there are any currently out, and even if there were, I don't know that they would have the right proportions to work on a human figure

    F-15 found at Sears

    At least I think that's what kind of plane it is...I'm not all familiar with military designations.:o It seemed a bit small, but not horribly so. Not high on detail, about along the lines of PTE or Chap Mei. It was all black and came with a handfull of missles. It had lights and sounds...

    1:18th skeletons, any interest?

    I was at the local Factory Card Outlet looking over their Halloween stuff and came across some party favor skeletons that look to be in 1:18th scale and not badly detailed. I felt around on them and they appear to be made out of somewhat solid plastic. The skulls were a little on the iffy...

    Open-front shirt torso?

    Does anyone know if a figure exists that has a button up shirt that is unbuttoned down the front revealing a t-shirt underneath?

    Alien/Aliens customs

    You guys all kick ass with Joe and military customs...but this, this is the area in which I excell! :) I've loved this series of movies (mostly the first and second) since I was little (9/10?). I've got more reference material than you can shake a stick at and I'm into costuming as a Colonial...

    "The Thing" MacReady

    I've had this figure done for a long time now, but with a different head. This head is from the Thor line repainted and a bit of resculpting done to the head. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I guess it looks close to Kurt Russells character, but while I was repainting it I suddenly...

    pilot suggestions

    If I were to make a pilot wearing just a standard flight suit using present figures, or figures that aren't too old, what figures or parts would you suggest?

    Adventure Team Joe

    I had, and still have, a 12" AT Joe from waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back when I was little and my parents bought one at the Western Auto store they once owned in Indiana. With the recent offering of figures of the originals through the Joe Club, I just had to make my own (since the club figures are...

    LBC CC update 7/22/11

    I tried editing the title of my original thread, but the change doesn't seem to stick. And without adding that there are new pictures, I don't know that anyone will look, so I started this one. Either my camera sucks, or I suck at using it. Decided to make the coat more of a...

    Would movie Thor work for this?

    As you may or maynot know, I'm working on making figures of all the characters from John Carpenter's "The Thing". I have MacReady/Kurt Russell, but the version I currently have is him wearing a hooded sweat-shirt under his coat...you can't see his hair. But I want to do a version where you...

    LBC: Cobra Commander

    Yeah, I know, just stick with me. This was my German air trooper I made months ago, you all might remember me posting that here. Anyway, I decided to re-purpose him as Cobra Commander. I know his helmet looks a little too flared, but once you look at him for awhile it grows on you (it...

    Yet another Cobra ST question

    All of the ST's come with a stun gun, right? So why do they need the shock batons as well? And why are there two batons connected like nunchuks, would one be enough? Sure would be easier to handle. And their shields, shouldn't they be black with some sort of vision slit in them? Unless...

    Cobra LAV Commander

    I plan on getting some sort of vehicle for my T.A.U. and thought it would need a dedicated person to pilot it, this is what I came up with. I don't completely like the all black look, but that just goes with what they do. I am open to suggestions. And by the way, permanent markers are...

    Krylon Fusion and figures

    I've heard K mention using Krylon Fusion to paint figures, but what little experience I've had with using Krylon fusion on toys tells me that some plastics stay somewhat sticky. I have a few figures I'd like to spray all black, will I have this problem on them if I do? Is there anyway around...

    1:18th trash bags

    I seem to recall someone here had a signature that had a figure and some in-scale garbage bags, does anyone know how to make some? My son has one of those Tonka garbage trucks and I promised him I'd make some garbage for it.

    Question about detail on ST

    I don't know what the gun is called, it's the short one with the foregrip and it has a little bit of red on it. Is that type of gun supposed to have red on it? To me, it's kinda distracting.

    Quake computer game....guy, LBC

    I've played the first version over and over, I don't think he ever had a proper name. Quake was hailed as one of the best first person shooters made back in 1996 and still holds a place as one of the most ground breaking games ever. I'd like to make as many weapons and badguys as...
