I really only need a Starship Trooper style helmet, but a whole kit wouldn't be bad.

Just a semi-random handful of Joes I work on from time to time. Not very committed to finishing them. Duke, Beachhead, Clutch, and Flint Duke is made from: Head - Duke v42 Webgear - Duke v42 Body - Stalker v13 Shoes - Duke v33 Beachhead is made from: Beachhead v15 Goggles -...

I can't find any non-glossy red acrylic hobby paint anywhere in town. But I do have 2 different shades of glossy red. Is there a way to give it a duller sheen without compromising the color, texture, and ability to bond to surfaces? (ie, I don't want it to look grainy or clumpy) I found an...

Got started on the gaiters. Knees first. Here's a list of the parts he's made from: Hat - Luke Skywalker in Endor gear Head - Dusty version 14 Torso - Hard Master Upper Arms - Naboo Royal Guard Lower Arms - Crimson Neo Viper Legs - Dreadnok 7 Pack Gnawgahyde Belt - Desert Storm Shadow Sword...

It has a chin strap in the comics/artwork, but I have no way of incorporating it in any satisfactory way.

Don't talk to me, white devil! Just kidding. Thanks :P

That's no dunce hat. It's an awesome hat - too awesome for our modern world. All drawn and painted by Moebius:

I'm also hoping to make his pterodactyl.

In your ass. There are several reasons this has no feathers. 1. Papo raptor is the coolest, most detailed of the affordable raptor figurines out there, and it was not given feathers. 2. Affordable though it is, at $15 apiece, it's not worth taking the risk to sculpt feathers onto if the...

They were trying to copy the look of the raptors from Jurassic Park 3.

I went for a coyote-vulture-lizard with the paint scheme.

Overhauled Papo's velociraptor. 1. Reposition the left leg to improve balance. 2. Remove tail. 3. Attach tail from Jurassic Park raptor toy. 4. Blend the scales between the 2 different toys by sculpting. 5. Paint every single surface except the inside of the mouth. 6. Voila. This...

Is she one of those click-kits that cost like a billion dollars for half an ounce of plastic?

That's not at all what I don't intend to do. I'm going to chip the plaque down to about 5" x 8", which is more manageable and practical for the purpose of displaying a single claw. Since the claw itself is removable from the plaque, I'm gonna use one of its casts as a base onto which I'll...

Had I worked consistently, the claw would have taken 2 to 3 days to make. But I took my sweet ass time, and it wound up taking a couple years. Yes, years. The claw was 98% finished a couple years ago, and then I gave it the finishing touches a few days ago. Anyway, it was cut, carved, and filed...

Would it be feasible to bend styrene to make brush guards? If not, how would you go about making brush guards for a 1:18 scale vehicle. There are a lot of rounded bends involved.

Don't tell me what to do!

Anybody know of a place that makes hi-res plastic stickers? Preferably the really thin kind. I don't want any of those biodegradable ones. Not worth the money, since they can't stand up to anything. Starting to prep the logo.
