I'll have to be honest with you man, I like the first pic way better than the second.  The second one is too obvious, the lines just don't blend well.  I love the ww2 feel to that first one though, just awesome.  I wish you could see the other two clones in the background just a little better.  And that at-at is brilliant!

thanks again man.

hmmm, you are right about the second one, I wasn't going to post it as I completely agree, but then again I thought you'd like to see it.

I'm glad you like the 1st one though!

Jules, great job on your latest Hangarbay shot. I like em both. Heck, you could spit on a cracker, and I'd love it. You can do no wrong in my eyes.

this is a horrible custom, just to forewarn you guys...

I did this out of boredom and just to see if I could pull it off.  For an hours work it isn't bad.

I tried to dremel the center "diamond" armor detail out of the clone's chest and it just didn't work right.  That new rubbery plastic they are using for the clones just doesn't dremel well when your doing tiny detail work...

if you can't tell the figure is made from an animated clone (rex I think) and then repainted slightly with an animated anakin's legs grafted on. 

I've repainted the face and hair too but it's not that good, so I left the helmet on ;) lol

WARNING NON STAR WARS CUSTOM WARNING

Base figure was a black suit Marvel Universe spidey... the left arm is some random arm that came in a box of junk narceron gave me....

so I'm guessing those last two customs were SO bad that everyone is actually heeding their mother's advice?!

"if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all"

lol I understand!  that mando is pretty bad...

I likie the Carnage =) Can't wait to see the tendrils and how you pull those off.

Why go through life base fig, when you can customize?

I too like the Carnage fig. I like that bigger arm for some reason. It gives those shots kind of a 3-d effect.

(warning: long night + only 1 cup of coffee = low tact and random incoherence)
I know nothing about Carnage.  Useless there.

The converted Clone as Mando, tho...  Looks like a chick.  Seriously.  Those [expletive deleted] "skinnies" always look like chicks in armor to me. (which is NOT a bad thing!!)  Personal preference, I don't like the paint-scheme as it is too close to looking like a Clone's armor.  Now, if that was the look you were after, you nailed it, so we gotta take that into account.  I think you were trying to use the black paint-lines on the belt to replicate pouches, yes?  I don't think it worked all that well to convince me.  I think you need some more surface detailing to pull it off better.  Maybe nothing more than using your xacto blade to carve some grooves and *then* painting/blackwashing the grooves would work.  I'm wondering about using this plethora of 1/35-scale WWII pouches I have to achieve a similar effect.  That could be interesting.

The black paint looks like it is still wet, lots more shiny than the white of the armor.  Also, the edges of the black paint aren't crisp.  Boy, have I found cameras are GREAT at picking up any little flaw there!   ::)  I imagine some of that is due to the problems you ran into using the dremel for detailing.

So what's the story and recipie on this one?  Are those Anakin legs I see?  Is the helmet a Legacy Mando buy'ce?  Is it removable to show a head underneath?

lol doc you outlined every problem I see with that ugly fig. 

the thinking was that maybe it was a mando clone trainer? idk... I wasn't realy going with any backstory honestly.

I shaved off the big box on the back of the figure with the exacto knife.  The figure is a clone comander fox (right? the blue one is fox right?) with anakin's legs grafted on.  In hindsight I think I should have just left the clone's legs on there cuz anakin's look realy out of place and too skinny.

it does look like a chick...  I think I might sculpt over the chest armor that I f-ed up and make it into a female mando. 

I know the lines of the black were way off... I'm going to blame it on the lack of drugs I had to go through the other night! lol... when in all actuallity I can't paint strait lines for nothing.
