I saw these in the store. I want that web gear from Classic Cap, but that's about it. To be honest, to swipe the web gear is all I'd want from these guys. The parachute "deluxe" figure I almost got for his pack, but it was $10 and not worth it. I did pick up the armored one to steal the chest...

The steps are foam, too. They're a separate piece from the brick landing. I can show pics of the backside, it's not even painted. Just stacked foam slices, with a cap on both sides. I added some green moss to the crack on the top step to fill that in. That was a knife slip goof, but the foam is...

No worries. It does look like a spider-web with my crappy iPhone 3G camera. That thing's a turd for taking photos unless you're in 100% daylight. :)

Oh, btw, the glass... The broken glass was just thin clear plastic from a figure card or box. I cut it with an Xacto. The "spiderweb" one is a bit blurry, so the white lines came out thicker... It was supposed to be a broken window as well, but you're right, it looks more like a spider-web, so...

Thanks fellas. I hope to get this one finally finished and shot by the weekend (fingers crossed). Med, it's a Bruder playset. They're in 1:16 scale I believe, but work well enough for this. There was actually a dumpster, too, but it wasn't a "conventional" one like you see everywhere, and I...

Some more WIP work (and an almost-done update on the stairs) showing some new walls I've done using this technique:

No no, not that Dial-Tone. The less-sought-after-non-carded-but-still-fairly-rare Dial-Tone from JoeCon 2011. The one in the Special Mission: Brazil 2 deco. (The better one, if you ask me.) So why is that? He's mostly a repaint of the ROC Zartan with 25th Airborne arms, 25th Dusty shoulder...

Clearly, the toy companies are retarded. They should shortpack the shitty figures. I'm not that idiot that keeps coming back time and again and keeps buying something else in its place, I just don't buy anything. I was the same way as a kid. Are they actually making money with this system, or...

I almost want that Cable just for the baby. That would make a hilarious dio story. I can't find the Cable or Cyclops alone at BBTS, am I just retarded? I don't want the entire wave.

Weird. I Wikipedia'd the Marvel Universe a while ago and was like "screw catching up". There was House of M, World War Hulk, buncha shit with Skrulls and Cap was killed and Wolverine's backstory was told (lame!) and... A buncha stuff. There was something about Messiah Complex I guess the baby...

So I collected quite a few Legends and skipped the regular Apocalypse in favor of the BAF version, which was a huge mistake. I saw this guy on BBTS and contemplated getting him, although I don't actually have that many Universe figs. Cable looks cool as well, but I quit reading Marvel around...

I can't believe Storm Rider got a new head and Monkeywrench was a damn repaint. I passed on that figure the first time I saw him due to the elbows alone. It's almost impossible to paint without getting wear. You thought about using Shipwreck arms?

Dial-Tone intercepted an encoded signal from Cobra High Command that contained details about a top-secret prototype of the Night Raven that had previously been only rumored to exist. Previous sightings had been made by intel sources close to Rio de Janeiro, and a Joe team had been sent in to...

Thanks, Cobraoner! Also, thanks to anyone wandering over here, I'm just glad you're checking it out and hopefully it can help get folks started on their own dios. I saw some HT guys were looking at it. I'll check out those links and may add them to the front post too. Any links like that would...

Those pics are sweet, Beeavision. What do you do for a living? I'm assuming, uh, that? Film model-making for miniatures? Special effects type stuff? Regardless, looks like fun. I'm starting to hate advertising. I miss making things by hand, everything I do is in the computer. Eddie, thanks. I'm...

Oh pipe down, peanut gallery. :) Here are the last few items I'm finishing up for my second street... Here's a "glass block" window that I made using the clear plastic from some random box and wax paper crumpled up, and some stairs and a landing that I need to finish carving and painting...

Both are about the same. The stone type is more freehand but takes more weathering to look real. The brick is more tedious carving time, but after the base coat, it starts to look like brick almost immediately. It's the stone that is trickier to paint more believably. I probably did like 6 or 7...

I've got some new examples I'll be posting in the next week... (Just waiting on a few items to arrive in the mail) but wanted to share this little bit. I added the link to the first post for future reference. Awesome Guy's Site This guy uses a mix of pink foam and sprayed expanding foam to...

In the 80s, before repaints and kitbashes were really all the rage in Pawtucket's boardroom, Hasbro would sometimes toss together a few parts and make a Frankenjoe that was a new character. Sure, this was done early on with the Original 13, but once the non-greenshirt Joes starting flowing...

Yeah, Adobe is the only "Photoshop". There's other editing software, but that's the only officially-branded software by that name.
