Thanks, everybody. I cannot wait to FINISH THEM.  Gotta wait until Clonehead is back to taking orders so they can get buckets. These were aquired in trades sans helmets.

Incom- I'd love too, but the FeMando sculpts are WAY hard to find. These three, plus possibly Reptile and maybe a Thunder God. But not a Nordic one.
If I get more of the McQuarrie Bobas I wanna do Sektor and Cyrax. I already have special effects in the works for them.

Blacksheep- yup. I already have Scorpion's kunai special effect all planned out.

Whoops! I meant Raiden. I have an extra one by the way :)

Thanks, sith_fire30!  That is very humbling.  I SO want to post individual pics and whatnot, just no time to set up a proper photoshoot.  Hopefully next weekend.  Maybe.

Anywho, here are a few more quick iPhone WIP pics.

Cyber Smoke from the Mortal Kombat franchise, Star Wars style...you know, to go along with the Scorpion and Sub-Zero from earlier.  I need to figure out a "special effect" for him.  A smoke cloud or something.



A Kenner Predator upgrade before and after shot.  The one on the left is the stock figure, the one on the right is mine.  Note the real cloth "mesh" on the upgrade.  Again, I will post mo' betta pics ASAP.  Thanks for stoping by!

Oh man, those 'Red Stripes' look fantastic!  It's amazing to see the EVO troopers being used for something really cool-looking like the TOR troopers.  Excellent execution on the whole squad!

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

Thanks, JediMerc!  They were so-so as they were, but I freaking love them as TOR troopers. I don't even play TOR,  I just like the design asthetic. If I manage to score more TFU Evo or Jump troopers, I'll do another squad. This squad has two of each as base figs.   Hopefully I'll be able to post better pics of them soon, even tho I've been saying that for a while. *sigh*

Of course!  The more, the merrier!  The sculpts are very good, I'd be excited to see someone else take a crack @ them!
