This thread is for me to post my LBC's, wips and projects waiting on parts/paint. It will be figures, vehicles and dioramas. Hopefully this thread and maybe a little public ridicule will help me finish some things.
So for the first fig I have an easy lbc just a Tim Roth head from the hulk flick on a comic pack R&R body. He neeads paint but thats on hold until I figure out if he will be desert jungle or urban.

This is the leader of my ARBCO merc force. The head is john connor from the terminator salvation movie line, body and upper arms are viper, hands are from ROC/Resolute SE upper legs are tunnel rat and lower legs and arms are shipwreck. Just need to figure out how to paint them up.

i like that 2nd guy...the glasses are pretty neat looking

 

[Big Jim]

Thanks Eddie, that sculpt is probably the high point of the salvation line

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

so if we're offering critiques, might i suggest a fan cleaning?

 

[Big Jim]

Yeah I may need to take care of that

 

[Big Jim]

For me from Ramparts original look I always felt he would be at home in the cold weather and have changed him accordingly. The bit in his filecard about being excellent at video games makes him to me someone who would help with automated defences liek the PACRATS.

The start of Mercer, I also have a FOV head sculpt I may end up using, haven't decided yet.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

i like the parts combo on Rampart...those legs look great with that torso

 

[Big Jim]

I like the legs on this body better than on the viper it came with. I thinks its the coat bottom that helps the look. And before you say it I did clean the fan these were all shot the same day Ive just been lazy on posting.

 

[Big Jim]

Just some simple swapping between wraiths

 

[Big Jim]

Dice will get some webgear and maybe paint and there is still a lot of work to do on Slice

 

[Big Jim]

The bodies are just a random assortment of parts and I had a few extra Tripwire heads I thought I would use to make some hazmat troops from

 

[Big Jim]

The original plan was to use a movie Thor head, unfortunately it was ridicoulosly small(yeah yeah ya bastards are gonna have a field day with this one). So since I couldnt find a good lond haired/bearded head I decided I would go with a look from a few years back when rocking a 'hawk. Oh yeah this is for a self custom, anyone painted tattoos before and have any tips?

 

[Big Jim]

wow those are some crap pics

 

[K-Tiger]

I saw one....i think on JoeCustoms about tattoos.

I think you're gonna want to use a blue or gray super fine point pen. If you use black they're gonna look like he got inked 15 minutes ago.

 

[Big Jim]

Thanks K-T I will give that a shot

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

yeah, those pics suck major ass...is that head from the BnB figure?

not sure how i missed some of these updates...


i've seen some guys do phasing Wraiths...you have to fade silver paint onto the blue...maybe you already know that but just havent got to the paint stage yet...

Im being ridiculously lazy on painting. Its actually the Res Duke 5 pack/Air Raid(?) from the Sky Sweeper firebat thing. Sculpted a goatee and a mohawk and sanded down the hair line

 

[Big Jim]

painting this well is going to suck
