    Securities Stinger Custom 2

    Wow, that turned out awesome! I like your setup in that last shot. You gotta post more dio shots now with these in it!

    Tutorial: Creating Dio Walls from Foam

    I had plans to do it a month ago then shit fell through. Probably not this weekend as we just got back from being gone for 3 weekends straight, so I'm prolly just gonna chill. Soon, hopefully, as it's all done now for the most part.

    APC Rebirth

    You tried scratch-building something out of styrene so you don't waste a full vehicle?

    APC Rebirth

    Gah, you just keep showing those Hawks to make me jealous, don't you?! I never had the APC but would love one in 25th reissue style. This is a cool project, can't wait to see it done. That last shot is killer, showing the real canvas.

    Customizers: Brag/Nag/Lag Thread

    So one thing I was thinking about... Every customizer has his strengths and weaknesses. You know there's that one thing you do that you're super proud of, but there's also that thing that you hope nobody notices about your customs, and you really need to work on still, or something that you're...

    Rex's Tunnel Rat & Night-Ops Shipwreck

    This was a "fix-up" and a LBC kitbash, so I opted to toss them in together. I never really had a problem with the "squinty-eyed" Tunnel Rat until recently. I always excused the silly "He's Asian!" stereotypical/comically-squinted eyes because he's crawling around in the dark, but finally I...

    Rex's Sunbow Falcon

    This is an oldie I dug back up because I finally broke down and got the amazing SDS (Slayer Design Studios) Lt. Falcon kit. The kit consists of a new head and larger neckerchief. Some of you may have seen the older version with the factory tard-face Hasbro head, but I finally got to the point...

    Rex's Ultimate Rock N Roll

    I never cared much for the 25th Rock N Roll. He was a lame kitbash, with the only "cool" parts being his double-strapped bullet belts and his weapon. The tiny cranium was laughable with its beady little eyes, and the crappy Duke arms and rehashed greenshirt basic body that was already overused...

    Captain America figures

    25 Scalpers. It's a new unit of measure. Just like whines can be measured in HTs.

    Captain America figures

    They're worth at least 25 Scalpers.

    Old Joe Marvel Comic Commercials

    Someone at HT posted this, but I found it interesting because I'd never seen most of these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXY8BMXDKSA It's the Sunbow-animated Marvel Comics commercials, but besides showing early animation with the wrong voices, the main thing that stuck out to me was that...

    WOW! - There are 153 Characters so far in MU.

    Wait, so they're rebooting Legends? I just want a proper Jean Grey from the Jim Lee era and a Jubilee to round out my Jim Lee X-Men. I could always customize them, but I'm not that invested... What's the reboot entail?

    Tutorial: Creating Dio Walls from Foam

    You should talk to my girlfriend. She'd take you up on the offer. She'd also sell my entire nerd-toy collection for a few bucks to clear up some closet space. :) Thanks though, I may end up selling them off as I cycle them out and build new ones, but for now, they're too fresh to get rid of! :)

    GIJCC Dial-Tone Review

    Ah, Dial-Tone. One of the last "prominent" characters from the Sunbow cartoon to be made into 25th format. And what'd Hasbro do? They made him a her. Not a sex change or anything that, but a complete replacement as a woman. His sister. Dial-Tone was now Jill Morelli, no longer the Jack Morelli...

    I also caught that you said "sewer lids". Someone's learning!

    Tutorial: Creating Dio Walls from Foam

    Yep, what I was planning on shooting, was the Destro's cash, with the laptop/mission case from Resolute Destro, and a bunch of those briefcases from ROC being delivered in a wooden crate from Destro to a crew of Vipers. Joes were to intercept and raid, buuut.... a fight with the girlfriend over...

    Tutorial: Creating Dio Walls from Foam

    Haha, yeah... I'm shooting a scene tomorrow hopefully. I need to make some trash bags for the dumpster though. One detail I realized I'm missing. There's ALWAYS a bag or two laying outside. The signage is just stuff I stole from online and sized to a 8.5x11 sheet and printed out. Glued...

    Tutorial: Creating Dio Walls from Foam

    Thanks Akunin! I hope to shoot a dio scene tomorrow during daylight with the DSLR camera, but here are some quick point-and-shoot shoots of my more complete street scene. Windows, signs, debris, lights, and pretty much everything but gutters (still working on those!) are in the shots...
