Starchaser shares a new one...
-- Posted by Tamer on Thursday, May 30 2019
"Parvu Tenaket - a Guardian of the Whills, he was off planet at the destruction of Jedha City, tracking a small group of thieves who had absconded with a shipment of Kyber crystals. After recovering the crystals, Parvu made his way back to the moon of Jedha to find the temple and pilgrim city destroyed and his brethren dead or missing."

That is just the start of an excellent description and recipe.

-- Posted by Tamer on Thursday, May 30 2019
"I've always been a huge fanboy of the legendary sithfire30's sculpt works. So here I am a lil bit inspired to start my first full figure from scratch. I shaved down a 2012 3.75 inches Avenger Skrull figure i got from a fodder lot (thus all the paint residue) andddd here's the super secret work-in-progress. Can anybody tell who it is?"

I believe I know, check it out and introduce yourself!

"Hi everyone! Been lurking around for a long while. Always wanted to try my hands at customising figures. So this is gonna be my first post here (hopefully many more to come). So here's my first attempt at sculpting a Legends Bothan headsculpt based on the ROTS Saesee Tinn head."

Now that is a nice introduction!



Larifari shows us more of Dexter's Diner...
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, May 29 2019
"I have lot's of figures,rebels & aliens.They need the place to drink and eat.Let's make a cantina! But not this time.(I made a earlier version of Dexter's Diner, but I find it too small,no lights on the chairs,too little windows,not enough chairs etc.etc, so I started to make over again.)In this project I used lots of cardboard,paper,styrofoam,glue,rullers and time of course.."

It is one great dio folks.



New light work from Clonehead...
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, May 28 2019
"So back onto the 1/32 Porsche 917K. Since we have some of those small red nano leds, it’s time to address a nagging problem I have with all my 917k models. None are equipped with working brake lights. The lenses are there on the larger 1/24 version but no lights."

Clint has this down to a science!



Ron Hembling is back with a new Sandtrooper Dio...
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, May 28 2019
"Hi All,

Sandtrooper Grunt - 1:12 scale. This figure was done to go with the Sandtrooper Squad Leader I did the other day and there is a pic at the end with the two.

Recipe.

Trooper - is from Bandai and is built straight out of the box and he's joints were covered using a black stocking and I drilled out the holes in the DLT-19 muzzle and he was painted and weathered using Vallejo Paints and Pastel Chalks.

Base - is from the SW Legion Occupier tank and the rock was done using a large rubber mould from Woodland Scenics and was painted and weathered using Vallejo Paints. The sand is a mix of sand and spakfilla and once dry was given a few washes of Vallejo's Iraqui and the smaller stones are kitty litter which were applied while the sand mix was drying and were painted and weathered using Vallejo Paints.

The small tufts of grass are from Army Painter and were given a few drybrushes of Vallejo's Beige Brown to give them a more dryer look to them.

Ron"

I liked his last one and this one I think might even be better!

Wow, this looks great!



Darth More checks in on Tunghori and plays a game!
-- Posted by Tamer on Saturday, May 25 2019
"Tunghori listed another General Grievous (ROTS Deluxe figure). Not the Legacy or even a new version, BUT Grievous is a sought after figure anyway. Plus he comes with two lightsabers and a blaster - for just $7.99. First, he was listed for $8.99. a day later tunghori relisted him for a buck less - thanks!

So let's play "find the errors*!"

Here you can see some samples of Hasbro's latest milestone: photoreal technology for their 3 3/4" figures."

He just has one most hilarious take on getting figures that don't quite meet quality standards in regards to the most infamous eBay Power Seller. Good reading folks!

"Hi All,

Sandtrooper Squad Leader - 1:12 scale.

Recipe.

Trooper - is from Bandai and is built straight out of the box and he's joints were covered using a black stocking and he was painted and weathered using Vallejo Paints and Pastel Chalks. The RT-97c heavy blaster rifle is made up from a Hasbro rifle with the barrel cut and shortened and the parts from a Bandai Sandtrooper back pack and the scope is from the Bandai SE-14r light repeating blaster.

Base - is from the SW Legion Occupier tank and the rock was done using a large rubber mould from Woodland Scenics and was painted and weathered using Vallejo Paints.

Ron Hembling shares a new Snowspeeder Diorama...
-- Posted by Tamer on Thursday, May 23 2019
"Hi All,

Rebel Snow Speeder, 28mm.

Recipe.

Speeder - is from FFG SW Legion and as with their other vehicles and figures this kit has awesome details. The speeder was built straight out of the box and painted and weathered using Vallejo Paints.

Base - is high density foam cut to shape and the rock was done using a plaster mould from Woodland Scenics and was painted and weathered using Vallejo Paints. The snow is watered down spakfilla which was applied using a medium brush.

Ron"

I am loving this Hoth kick Ron is one now. He achieves so much detail in this 28mm scale too. I don't know how he does it. He is the Merlin of the customizing world folks!

Darth More fills us in on 5 Below...
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, May 22 2019
"If you have a Five Below in your area and look for these sets, it might be worth it to check it out: They sell them for $5 as long as stock remains.

I think this is as cheap as it can get at least for the Probe Droid & Vader. Remember how Amazon struggled to get rid of the Rathtar even for $3.88?! HA!"

I am gonna be near one this weekend! Darth More also has a most excellent store report from an outing in Germany.



Ron Hembling shares a great new Hoth Diorama...
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, May 22 2019
"Hi All,

Wampa Attack - 28mm.

Recipe.

Figure's - The Snow Troopers are from FFG SW Legion box set and the Wampa's are from FFG Imperial Assault which I got from a mate in my model group. The Wampa being shot has had his right arm modified and then puttied up and I also did two blaster hits with smoke coming up as his fur has been burnt.

Base - is thick foam board and the walls and ceiling were done using high density foam and then watered down spakfilla applied over it. The walking plates are just pieces of plastic card I had in my bits box and the crates are from FFG SW Legion Priority Supplies Battlefield Expansion set.

Ron"

Needless to say I really, really like this one!

-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, May 20 2019
"Swapped a few more Stormtrooper Han heads and updated some older customs."

There is definitely may more recipe and customization description after the jump. As on Shipyarder noted, he has a lot invested in his Han's now, but they look great!



Ron Hembling has even more Scout Trooper Dioramas...
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, May 20 2019
"Hi All,

Scout Trooper dio #2, 28mm.

Recipe.
Scout/Speeder/Probe Droid - are from FFG SW Legion and Imperial Assault and the only mods done were to the speeder's handle's as I had to remove the arms and replace the throttle/handle's with thin plastic rod.

Base - is thick foam and the ground work is a mix of sand/dirt/lichen moss/static grass/thin sticks/dried leaves which were blended and applied to the base. Once the mix was dry it was given a few washes of Vallejo's Chocolate Brown, the ferns are plastic palm tree leaves which I trimmed down and repainted.

The tree is a branch which I just cut to size and foliage is a mix of grass tufts and lichen moss which I picked up from my local gaming store.

Ron"

Once again he achieves this in such a small scale!



Ron Hembling has more Scout Dios...
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, May 20 2019
"Hi All,

Scout trooper dio #1, 28mm.

Recipe.

Figures/Speeder - are from FFG SW Legion and the Scout trooper has been modified so that his left leg is on the ground and I used arms from the FFG SW Legion Scout trooper box set. The Sand trooper was slightly modified by modifying the right arm and the DLT-19 is a 1/35 German MG-34 which as been shortened, the backpack is from the heavy trooper from the FFG SW Legion box set and I removed the backpack and glued it into place.

Base - is thick foam and the sand is a mix of spakfilla and sand and once dry it was painted, the vaporator is from FFG SW Legion Priority Supplies Battlefield Expansion set.

Ron"

I missed a few from yesterday thats for sure! Ron always gets such great action in his dioramas.



Centurions Corner shares a new video review...
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, May 20 2019
This time out we see him reviewing the Black Series Mace Windu Figure.



Why the switch?
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, May 19 2019
I came across this in my YouTube feed this morning and thought it was some interesting thoughts as to why the Empire needed the AT-AT and not the AT-TE as they switched from the Republic to the Empire.



Ron Hembling shares a new Endor Dio...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, May 19 2019
"Hi All,

Scout Trooper dio #3, 28mm.

Recipe.

Scouts/Speeders - are from FFG SW Legion Scout trooper box set.

Base - is thick foam and the ground work is a mix of sand/dirt/lichen moss/static grass/thin sticks/dried leaves which were blended and applied to the base. Once the mix was dry it was given a few washes of Vallejo's Chocolate Brown, the ferns are plastic palm tree leaves which I trimmed down and repainted. The tree is a branch which I cut to size and foliage is a mix of grass tufts and lichen moss which I picked up from my local gaming store.

Looks great to me!



Darth Daddy and Elias team up again for a great duo...
-- Posted by Tamer on Saturday, May 18 2019
"Dad has wanted to add the Clone Wars version of Saw Gerrera to the collection for a long time now. So much so that he took it into his own hands to make it happen.

Once Dad started Saw, I just had to make a Steela. The legs are from the Clone Wars Padme, the forearms and hands are from a Cato Parasitti.

We just loved adding this brother/sister set to our collection. Their appearance on our shelves was long overdue!"

Wow, these two are great! Click the above link to see the full description and recipe!

Moronarama does some customs for some friends...
-- Posted by Tamer on Thursday, May 16 2019
"So here are a couple of quick projects I did for some friends. The first is Jimi Calrissian, the greatest guitarist in the universe. Pretty simple repaint of the Kenner Lando with a sculpted afro/headband and Greedo's vest. The guitar is from a Playmobil figure.

The second was a requested custom from a friend who wanted a Howard the Duck Movie figure. The head, tail and feet are sculpted. The body is a Kenner Ugnaught figure and the jacket is cut down from trench coat from a Star Wars figure I have forgotten. I made the play duck out of a piece of craft foam and a screen shot from the movie."

Now that is some awesome skill in customizing and custom cardbacks.

Darth More checks in on Tunghori...
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, May 14 2019
"Now, tunghori listed the first wave of Retro Collection figures for $9.99 each and even Tarkin for $14.99. Now they’re are a shared T&t Exclusive I guess.

TARGET shouldn’t be too happy about that and I hope tunghori will lower the prices. For 10 bucks each you can just get them on card if you live in the U.S. But if you want to army-build that Stormtrooper tunghori might be helpful."

I always appreciate Darth More keeping us aware of new and notable with the eBay Power Seller!



Dan shares Battle of Big Rock News...

It looks like we have a spin off title from Jurassic World. Dan will no doubt keep us updated.



Echo Six uses the new Han Head with great results...
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, May 13 2019
"It barely counts as a custom, but here's a TVC Stormtrooper Han head swapped onto a VOTC Han body.

The VOTC Han has a big neckpost, and the Stormy head needed a lot of Dremeling to fit. There's also a big skin tone mismatch, so I painted the VOTC neck with Vallejo "Basic Skin Tone" for a smoother transition.

This headsculpt is awesome, and I'm planning to repeat this with my LC Death Star escape Han and TVC Bespin Han."

I agree, this headsculpt looks fantastic!



Darth More does some graphic work for his Purge Trooper...
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, May 13 2019
"This is just a drill!!

FialaFernbrugg gave me precious advice and a hint at GIMP, which I already had forgotten about. GIMP is a complex and excellent freeware with incredible functions. I even forgot that I allready had it installed on my PC since I only worked with Paint and Microsoft Office Power Point for my last projects.

So a big shoutout and thumbs up to FialaFernbrugg! Thank you so much for your support!

So I played around with some images I found online and
modified the Imperial Emblem
for my Purge Troopers."

I might have to take a look at this GIMP myself!

Boba Fett #3

Recipe.

Fett - is from FFG SW Legion I converted this one by cutting the limbs and torso then filling in the gaps and I painted him ROTJ colours and he was painted and weathered using Vallejo Paints.

Base - thick foam board and the control station and cargo box are from FFG SW Legion Priority Supplies Battlefield Expansion set. The dirt is watered down spakfilla/sand and once dry a gave it a light wash of Vallejo medium brown and the grass tufts I picked up from my local gaming store.

Ron"

"Finally:

A Jakku look super-articulated Sarco Plank:

A while ago I did a custom of Paige Tico and an "adventure" Rose. While I like the body design, it didn't fit Rose right:

So I thought about it a bit and then redesigned "adventurer" Rose. I'm much happier with this version:"




Fiala Fernbrugg is back with a Baze Malbus Custom...
-- Posted by Tamer on Saturday, May 11 2019
"Figure: 3,75", 5POA from the Rogue One Baze Malbus vs Imperial Stormtrooper battlepack

Modifications:
- added limited articulation in arms and wrists
- wiring for the radio device on the chest plate
- drilled out hole in the exhaust vent of the weapon-backpack
- drilled out muzzle
- repainted weapon
- weathering

Here you have a simple custom figure. I added some articulation in the arms. The weathering was made with washes, pigments and drybrushing."

He really pushes these 5poa action figure statues into great new territory.

-- Posted by Tamer on Saturday, May 11 2019
"Oh, I ended up cutting lengths of shrink tube to split and use as a backside partition of sorts that I have mounted over the backside of the head and tail lights. I made little shades looped over the two little fog light leds as well. The end result is better than it was and something I will live with as the future projects are piling up. The camera doesn’t do the front end justice as with your eye, the fog lights are much easier to see."

Clint is also in the process of enlarging his awesome track diorama too.

"When I asked tunghori about the online/etailer Exclusive Wave of TVC repacks with photo-real technology, he already confirmed that he was going to get them. So my assumption seems to be correct: he got new figures during his 10 day absence on ebay.

Now, he got the first four updates figures of the Vintage Collection and I’m glad I checked ebay today once more!
These are selling like homemade bread - also because JTA posted that he had TARGET exclusive Han Solo (Stormtrooper Disguise), which is long gone now even for $22.99. But most likely tunghori is prepared to make another $10k and will restock, soon! The last Han (Hoth Outfit) sold just when I clicked on the offer - gone!

So keep checking back!"



L-Jarvis is back with an update...

It looks like there will be a bit of a hiatus for a few years and some news on Avatar films too.



Star Alien 70 continues his dark colors theme....
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, May 7 2019
"Carrying on the theme of dark side ambiguity. Here's a 3.75" Luke as a Jedi Master in a black outfit. Probably been done before, it's a simple custom using the TVC 79 Darth Sidious. Repainted head from a Force-Link Luke (Jedi Master), dremeled to fit. Hands are from the TBS #20 Jawas 2-pack. Cloak from TSC 034 Garindan."

Now that's a great recipe.

"Hi All,

Snowtrooper and Probe Droid 28mm.

Figures - The Snowtrooper is from FFG SW Legion and the Probe Droid is from FFG Imperial Assault and both were painted and weathered using Vallejo Paints.

Base - is thick foam board and the rocks are pieces of high density foam which have been ripped apart glued in place and painted. The snow is watered down spakfilla which was applied using a brush.

Ron"

I sure do enjoy these Hoth Dios.



Ron Hembling shares Scariff Dio...

"Hi All,

Rebels - Battle of Scarif 28mm.

Recipe.

Figures, are a from FFG SW Legion and are the Endor Rebels and the leader has been converted using parts from Airfix 1:48 scale RAF WW2 ground crew and they were painted and weathered using Vallejo Paints.

Base - is thick foam board and the sand is a mix of fine sand and spakfilla and is mixed with water until I get a consistency that looks like pan cake mix and then it is applied to the base. The palm tree's are from ebay which were painted using Vallejo paints and the bushes from Woodland Scenics fine leaf light green set and the grass tufts are from Army Painter.

Ron"

I like all the action in this one.



Ron Hembling shares Hoth Vader Mini-Dio...
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, May 6 2019
"Hi All,

Lord Vader has Arrived 28mm

Recipe.

Figures - are from FFG SW Legion and the two troopers were the ones with the heavy weapons and I removed them and gave them both a German WW2 MG42 from Tamiya's 1:48 scale German's on maneuvers. Vader was converted by cutting and repositioning his arms and then filling in the gaps. The figures were painted and weathered using Vallejo Paints.

Base - is a combo of foam board and high density foam and the walls were shaped and the floor plating is plastic sheet. The rocks are ripped pieces of high density foam and the snow is watered down spakfilla.

The cables are from an old set of ear phones and I cut the lengths out I wanted and glued them into place and the metal bracket holding the middle of the cables is just thin wire cut and bent to shape and glued into place.

Ron"

Trust me Ron is just getting warmed up.



Ron Hembling shares Diopalooza...

Meanwhile, I'm making a little bit of progress on the Lars Homestead Security Droid

after a failed light test...

Just stunning! Be sure to take a look at her in his customs thread too. I really like this Rey!

"Calling R4-NOGO done! Very simply kit to put together, would be great for kids just starting out. Putting a new coat of paint on these Bandai kits really brings them to life"

I agree, this kit looks great!

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and his family on this sad day as our beloved furball makes one last Kessel Run. Hearing and seeing the character now just won't quite be the same.



New Rey work from Star Alien 70...
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, May 3 2019
"Rey (Scavenger/Speeder) with soft goods headgear: This is the TBS 6" Rey that came with the speeder, with the head from TBS 6" Rey (Island Journey) and custom soft goods headgear, made from the material of 2x Episode 1 Tatooine Accessory Set ponchos. Goggles cut from the speeder head and fitted with elastic."

That is just the start of the recipe he created for one Ultimate 6" Rey.

Fiala Fernbrugg makes a Tank Pilot...
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, May 3 2019
"Another Rogue One custom figure I made: This time pretty simple. I took a 5POA tank pilot from the Jedha Revolt battle pack and gave him some articulation in the knees and elbows and wrists and I added some weathering.

The addded articultion was made with wire and foam rubber round cort (you can find a detailed tutorial here on ISY in the tutorial section). The weathering was made with AK washes, Revell pigments and a pencil."

I like it!



Fiala Fernbrugg reviews the Imperial Assault Combat Tank...
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, May 3 2019
"In my opinion one of the best vehicles Hasbro has ever created. The details are phenomenal and the weathering looks very realistic."

His image gallery is most impressive. I always like hearing what our folks think of new action figures and vehicles, etc. from the various lines.



Mr. BMB gets a little further on a custom astro-mech...
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, May 3 2019
"Just a little update pic of R4-NOGO most of the weathering is done, just a part or two to add."

Looks pretty awesome to me!

Them getting their warehouse organized means you get to add more of their great H.A.C.K.S. to your collection. Personally, I think this action figure line is perhaps the best out there right now.

Echo Six is back with a massive update!
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, May 1 2019
"Fooling around with more of Jabba's goons and some cantina patrons.

First up is Gauron Nas Tal.

I decided to make this guy because of all the extra Bossk bits and Bom torsos I've accumulated. The Bossk head fits the neck post without modification, so that was one less thing. :) I sanded off the torso details and re-skinned it with Green Stuff, leaving a few "wrinkles" that I mashed in with rubber gloves."

Needless to say this is just a taste from one awesome update.



L-Jarvis is back with an update...

He is on a TFA kick. I like it!
