Wow what great pics! Thanks John. Man do I love that RC trooper. I don't think that green on that arc is bad either! Man I like em all!

[Clonehead]

Oh, my bad. You can get a dullcoat to apply to a paint that is too glossey. I believe that testors makes a dullcoat for both acrylic and enamel paints.
  Comon, show us some more pics. Lets see your elite corps trooper collection.

Thanks for all the complements!! I have some of the dull coat from testors. Also Seen some of my work on the home page there Tamer...Thanks!!
I feel special now.lol Also will gather the elites for a group photo, same with the 501's

Here are some more of the micro-clones, The last pic. he didnt have his chest armor finished but posted this one to show the articulation they have!

[Clonehead]

Totally awsome, John!! I love the tan one with the cloth on it. I like his helmet also. The 501st squad looks great and I love your elite troopers. Any chance of getting a  close up shot of the one with the cody helmet and the green and white one with the airborne helmet? On that sniper clone, what did you use for the additions on his arms? Is that sculpy?
  Also, thanks for the current pics of the ones that you got from me. They look good posed next to that gunship. Looks like you have been taking good care of them.
  Man, your bigger pics look great. Oh and I do so love those two RC microman figures. The paint really looks good on those guys!
I really like the paint on the grey ones helmet. Is that one a mix or straight airborne? Is that rc helmet hollow?
What another incredible pic update!!
  What are you working on now, buddy?

[Tamer]

Wow! Even more great stuff. Glad you like some of the stuff we are working on for the future! You and Clint sure are giving me some great material to keep me motivated! Like Clint I sure do like the looks of the Cody in that squad. I love that blue squad too. Man, just great work.

[customcloner]

Thanks guys!! Clint, the question about the sniper clone which one where you talking about?? Mabe the blue and white assassin, the blades on his upper and lower arm is mostly sculpys except for the one on the lower arm the blade was leftover resin shaped to a blade edge. The figs. I got from you are behind glass so they stay just as pretty as the day you mailed them. As a matter of  fact all my figs. are behind glass. Im going to post some pics. of the collection so you can see, Ill first have to start a thread so keep a watch out! For the micro figs. the gray one is strait airborne helmet and the rc is hollow (was not fun). As for what Iv got on the work desk... trying to finish up some that have been started that I never got back to, for example the rc elite troop & the cody elite, still have to finish the waist capes and little extras oh! and the new micro fig. Will add the close-ups you asked for. Also For this next micro-fig. Ill do a step by step photos to show you all that gos into them in-case anyone likes them and would like to try one of there own.

[Clonehead]

Cool buddy! Sounds like you have plenty to keep you busy. yeah, I'll bet hollowing out that RC head was a chore.....
  I am juiced to see a step by step on that microman custom.
