Hey y'all

Been busy due to work.

Here's my Arrow WIP built and base coated



And here is a build WIP of Mack my Smartgunner (version 2.0) he is built from a Hot Toys Drake, Striker Leatherhead and a retaliation Roadblock. Fine details to be added include the shoulder lamp, pistol, Smartgun arm, hand welder and a knife...



This guy is huge (as he is in our RPG/fanfic)

More to follow when I get some Tamiya sprays!

WB Out!!

I don't know who Arrow is? But the base figure looked a bit toy ish, but now it looks 200% better! That coat of paint did wonders! As for your Mack character he looks like he arm wrestles Aliens for fun! Lol! :)

I like em both, but had to use that Smart Gunner for the front page update.

I would love to see a movie with some Colonial Marines squaring off against a bunch of Xenos and then see some Preds drop in for the party.

Thanks for the FP Shawn!

Can't wait to paint Mack up - the paints should be here sometime next week...

In the meanwhile here's yet another work in progress, Han Solo in New Republic Jump Armour





I need a couple of those Pursuit Of Cobra land mines to finish him off :(

Han looks great! Am I right in thinking that's an Iron Man base figure?

Han Solo war machine....great paint job on him,that would've been a great EP7 entry.
Used those legs for a cyborg Malgus once,stable and nice movement.

Hey Art, thanks mate :) yep I did do a Luke in this style and I'm planning on one day doing a Chewie too! When  I've finished Han I'll snap a pair of the two competed figures!

Adam and Ben - yep that is an Iron Man 2 War Machine as the base figure. I still need to highlight him and add his jump pack then he'll be finished :)

Great figure. The weathering is very nice.

Did you just use a patch of sunlight on a table to light the pic?

Awesome mate. I love the Han Solo in jump armour. What sort of helmet is he going to have?

@ Will - I basically use a desktop lamp, a pine bedside dresser and a jade coloured wall to take my shots! All pictures are taken on a standard iPhone 4S - which I then use to upload to photo bucket :-)

@ Chris - I think I'll leave the helmet off for these jump armour characters because I've cheated and done virtually nothing to mod the base War Machine figure!!!
