Ron Hembling is back with a new Indiana Jones Diorama...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, April 30 2023
"Hi All,
Indy on horseback ROTLA 6" scale.
Recipe.
Indy/horse - the figure is from Hasbro's Indy Adventure Series, and I posed him and then glued the joints and then puttied the joints and he was painted and weathered using Vallejo paints and pastels chalk.
The blanket was done by using an hanky and cut to size and then hand painted and the horse is Breyer and I painted him light grey and then dry brushed with matt white.
The saddle/bridle/reins were made using leather, the stirrups are resin and the o-rings are metal and I got them from the local craft store.
Base - is made from balsa wood and the groundwork is a mix of sand/kitty litter and Vallejo Iraqi sand and the sign was printed of the net."
His puttying of the joints just makes the figure looks so daggone real. This is another winner from every angle!

JDeck shares an update...

"I got 6/10 of my Andor Aldhani troopers. I'm making them my logistical engineers. So I made 3 into officers. From left to right; Commander, first lieutenant, second lieutenant. I made rank plaques using green stuff, and painted them yellow and red because technically they're in engineering. Im not sure what I'll do with the rest. Maybe NCO arm bands, red, and white."
Nice!
Starchasers shares some awesome new kit-bashes...

"Its been a while since I've posted a new custom. I finally had some breathing space to work on a few.
First up is a new droid using the "Zero" figure from Star Trek: Prodigy.
Samber Babbedon – and unconventional Ithorian, rather than tend the gardens of his home-world, Samber became fascinated with “bio-forming.
Bayrinne Mos’morindo – Balosar counter espionage agent for the New Republic (not an idiot like certain people).
Pradi Bhashand - An independant mechanic.”
He really has an eye for which AF parts go together for all the different genres.

RCW Creations shares a diorama update...
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, April 26 2023
"A few weeks ago I was commissioned to build a Doctor Who diorama for the first Doctor. From what I learnt from my tavern piece with 3D printing, I decided to use it again to build the console. I found files from a guy who made the 1st Doctor's console and I have used them for my client. After printing off 3 other console bases I finally got a decent print. I have now finished printing off all the accessories for the console and it is now ready to paint.
My next step is to build the control room, where I have cut out the foam board for the 3 walls to which I now need to cut the holes (the round things)."
Now he is off to a great start. It has to feel good to be able to print what you want!

Don shares an update to Outpost 423...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, April 23 2023
"I'm not sure the pics really do justice to this. The Rodian work-crew has added this drop-down facade to each level (to help block the glare from the lights while I'm sitting at my desk, and these little angle pieces to just add some depth to the project. I didn't plan or measure, just slapped them up there randomly. Still need to paint it, and have some pipes and greebles planned."
Man, it would sure be nice to have an office like this!

"Hi All,
Indy with gold idol and base 6" scale.
Recipe.
Indy - is a repainted 6" figure from the new Hasbro line and I used Vallejo Paints and pastels to paint and weather him and the gold comes with the figure but there is no hair detail on the back so I used a model knife and added the hair.
idol base - is printed by https://syndicatecustoms.com.au/ and I painted and weathered is using Vallejo paints and pastel chalks and the foliage is from Model Scene and I just pulled apart what I needed and glued it in place.
Ron"
