Clonehead customizes up a new Arcade 1Up System...
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, November 28 2023

"I had some 3/4 plywood pieces laying around so I cut and threw one together that was roughly 4 inches taller than the standard height riser. I had been throwing 4 inches of foam sheet under the non tall cabs to make em taller.

I used 4 colors of paint and leaves off the ground as stencils to put this fall camo pattern on the box. Each consecutive side looked better."

That is not all he did either. Click through for the full story. Man what I wouldn't give for a day in his arcade!



Let the Cyber Monday deals begin!
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, November 27 2023

"I know several people that wanted this but felt that the $100 price tag was outrageous.

It is on Walmart.com's Cyber Monday sale for only $35!"

I definitely agree with Dan! Let us know if you see any great deals today folks and we will try to let people know!



Darth More builds a model on a Sunday...
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, November 27 2023

"When I talked to FialaFernbrugg tonight I spontaneously decided to build an easykit model which he gifted to me years ago! I did use a little bit of super glue here and there and took about 40 minutes to finish it.

Imperial Star Destroyer
Revell easykit pocket

Scale: 1/12,300
Piece count: 21
Length: 13 cm

I think it's a perfect project for a Sunday evening. It also looks great next to 1/18 scale figures as a studio scale model!"

Click through to see how this great project turns out.

Darth Daddy is back with two new customs...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, November 19 2023

"Two new Customs this time around. Both painted by myself.

First is an Uzay Customs Marlo the Hutt print I painted and the other a Peak-OB1 Custom Creations print of Tee Watt Kaa."

Click through as these have to be seen full size. Very impressive.

"Been awhile since I worked on a custom figure. Been wanting to do a Shadows of the Empire Luke for awhile now. Nice thing is it was a one day quick project."

That figure would sell like hotcakes wouldn't it!

Nice!



DaBooma is back!

"I decided to make my own definitive version of the Vintage Collection Maul. There's quite a few things this figured needed in terms of improvement. Bendable wrists, a better head sculpt, swap-able hands, and swivel thighs, plus a small magnet so I could attach his hilt to his belt. Here's how he turned out!"

Man, what a great figure. The arty in him is amazing!
