Wow, I take it this is one of the customs for the latest contest. Very nice. I bet you will see this one on the front page soon.

Thanks, Tamer...but no. I've already submitted my trio of TOR style figs for the contest.  The trio that this fig is a part of woulda made an awesome entry, but I'm happy with the set I entered (just not the photos of them, LOL).

Quick pic of the size comparrison tbetween the Kenner Predators of old to SW figs, using my mascot, trooper NCC-1701 "Earl".  He now has a cape, 'cause it makes him feel fancy.


Also, a quick pic of an Armored Batman WIP.  I dunno if he needs black Under-Roos like the non-armored version or to leave the area grey.  Suggestions?


And lastly, a hasty WIP/parts fitting of an "Aliens" dio for my WIP USCM squad to stomp around in.

Wow. Finally got that great TOR Sith Commando on the front page, but expect to see some of this on the front page later too.

Good stuff. Love the Predator and Aliens anything! That diorama will be killer.

That Armored Batman is going to be great too.

Oh man, oh man, oh man!  The Alien facehugger containers look fantastic!  I love the "broken glass" and bullet hole features on the two on the right hand side.  Terrific work; can't wait to see the finalized diorama...

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!

I am very excited to see the Aliens Diorama you are working on. Had to get those Facehugger Creatures and Containers on the front page. I would love to hear how you did all of those.

Those Preds are good too. Perhaps an Aliens vs. Predator Dio too?

Thanks, Tamer!  The facehuggers and single chestburster are accessories from the Kenner Predators I've been revamping lately.  The "containment units" are actually pill bottles, and the stand that they are on is part of the container blood analyzation machine sample probes come in (scavenged from work).  Customizer = Recycler!  The stand and "bases" of the containment pods were given a base coat of flat black.  The line of bullet holes in one unit was achieved by drilling into the bottle with a small bit and the "broken glass" effect was created by clipping out sections with my sprue cutter. 

Also, whenever (or even if) I finish my USCM squad, they are gonna throw down on not only Aliens, but Predators AND Terminators.  No job too big or dangerous for the USCM!
