Lenny Quinn shares a great Imperial Officer Custom Update...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, July 30 2023

"Carved and drilled out a POTF Tarkin head to try out on the Piett body and also popped on a few others I had laying around to see how they might look on the upcoming troop builder Imperial Officers 4 pack."

I would say his experiment was a rousing success!



RCW Creations shares a custom figure update too...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, July 30 2023

"I bought myself the McFarlane platinum edition CW The Flash and was a little shocked when I opened the box to find I had been sent the unpainted version and not the painted version which is advertised on Amazon (I did check to see if it mentioned that I might receive the unpainted version but there was nothing on the page!)

Anyway I’ve decided why waste this golden, I mean platinum opportunity to paint this guy."

He has really done a lot of awesome work on this figure!



RCW Creations shares a new update...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, July 30 2023

"I have finished painting the floor, the walls and the console. I just have a couple of finishing touches and then this piece is complete and ready to ship to its owner."

It is great to see this one complete. It looks great.

"While patrolling above the planet Tatooine, Teva and Lieutenant Reed encountered Djarin again. While Reed wanted to use further force with the Mandalorian and his fighter, the captain chose to let the bounty hunter off, attempting to bargain for answers regarding the prior incident on Nevarro.

"Just a few more steps! I didn’t like the 3D printed chairs provided, so I took extra BMF gunner seats and added them. I want more details inside and I’m considering putting in clear plastic for the windows, but so far so good!"

The Moldy Crow is looking good!

"THE CLONE WARS" GAMORREAN GUARD painted by Darth Daddy

We received three prints of this Gamorrean Guard from Star Wars customizer, Daniel Trujillo Jr. The prints all varied in size. They were originally produced for him by Moff Glidden's Customs. Daniel said the medium size print was the action figure that was most to scale. When Dad attempted to assemble the print, he broke one of the hip joints on the most to scale figure."

It is a great addition to his custom collection.



Starchaser shares a great update...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, July 23 2023

He is back with quite a few new custom figures all with great backstories.

He also shares a Young Jedi Ship that definitely looks like it will work in the regular verse.

Don has updated Outpost 423...
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, July 19 2023

"New custom of an old-ass droid-driven skiff taxi.

The droid console is a 3d print from local friends Dalton & Dustin Hubbard, but this one was a misprint so I stuffed in some interesting greeblies for an interesting old broken console.

Since taking control Mama the Hutt has been quick to make changes!

These 3d print Carbonite prisoners are from starkiller3dcustoms."

I can't imagine passing by his Outpost Shelf and not loosing a few hours. Wow!

Be sure to scroll around as there are three separate updates.



RC-1136 shares an update...

"Final Version of my MATV/JLTV:

This thing is packed to the rim with tactical equipment and tools to keep the vehicle on the move at all times! Tactical entry tools for building clearing, maintenance equipment, explosives, ammunition, smoke dispensors, navigation computers, and infrared sensors for crew awareness and enhanced enemy detection, etc!

Decals and extra tools purchased separately. We've got JoyToy, Marauders Task Force, and BBI equipment here.

The hand painted punisher skull is a tribute to fallen U.S. Navy Seal Chris Kyle. He was known to wear punisher regalia on his uniforms while operating. I did not use decals because I wanted the "hand painted" appearance of this. Vehicles in Afghanistan and Iraq were known to rock these in his honor.

Lt. Colonel Victor Rykov, Russian Iron Bears Mercenary Contractor. Ex-Spetsnaz Special Forces Operator turned gun for profit. He specializes in counter-insurgency operations and has many off the book operations in foreign nations as a "military advisor."

Recipe: 4" James Cameron Col. Quaritch lower and head, JoyToy upper. Vest carrier from Joytoy army builder. AK-12 cobbled together from Marauder Task Force parts from various AK and AR models. Tactical Axe also from Marauders.

His two versions are Russian Spetsnaz "Telnyashka" off duty clothing and BDU uniform."



Dag Marus shares his Moldy Crow...
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, July 19 2023

"The Moldy Crow has always been one of my favorite Star Wars designs since I first saw it in Dark Forces as a kid. I even tried to make my own out of cardboard and packing tape back then. It was an absolute monstrosity. This, I’d say is a giant step up."

Definitely! Make sure you scroll around to see the multiple updates he has posted since I have been on hiatus.



JDeck continues his awesome Imperial Depot...
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, July 19 2023

-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, July 19 2023

"Once a rebel, always a rebel.

Watch the brand-new trailer and experience the two-episode series premiere of Ahsoka, a Star Wars Original series, streaming August 23 on Disney+."

Wow over 7 million views already. I mean the actors and actresses they have casted for these parts just seems spot on to me so far. I mean wow!

Don creates a boss for the ole Outpost...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, July 9 2023

"I LOVE this! Outpost 423 just got a new boss!"

I also posted a new henchman in there too, but what a great boss! It has to be a Hutt!



JDeck updates us on his Mech Depot...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, July 9 2023

"I got the watching Area and the Weapon Area, to make an armory/ patrol trooper staging area and ITT loading area to round out the rest of the shelf. These kits come with peg boards to attach weapons to, by the trigger guard. The pegs are a little too large so the trigger guards have to stretch. These are just extra weapons I had. I just started building the walls first, to make it easier.

Im still waiting for the other Testing Area from ebay to ship, so I can make a second Speeder bike garage. I've been getting them on Amazon. HiPlay JoyToy Science-Fiction Theme Scene Base for 1/18 Scale Action Figures- 1/18 Mecha Depot:Observation Tower:

Need some custom sculpts?
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, July 9 2023

Well Darth Sinister has you covered:

"I've added a few 1:18th scale heads to the eBay store. Lots and lots of aliens to fill out side characters for dioramas or just to make a character from your own imagination. Some are direct copies, some are shrunken heads and some are my own sculpts.

Ron Hembling shares a new Indiana Jones Diorama...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, July 2 2023

"Hi All,

Indiana Jones 1:12 scale.

Recipe.

Indy/Croc - Indy is from Hasbro and I glued the joints and then puttied over the joints and the croc is from Schleich and both were repainted using Vallejo paints and Indy was given a little more weathering using pastel chalks. The webley I got of Ebay and is resin and the bullet hits on the crocs back were done using thin wire and then covered with Woodland Scenics water effects.

base - is a picture frame and I built of the groundwork using mulch, the plants are from Joefix Studios and the grass tufts are from Army painter. The plants were given a brown/green wash to give them a more realistic look and the vines I cut from a few trees that are around my neighbourhood.
The column is designed by Inprint Condition and it was printed by Syndicate Customs and the water I used Woodland Scenics realistic water and once dry I used Woodland Scenics water effects to create the ripples.

Ron"

Just in time for the movie release. As with all of Ron's projects they are the stuff of magic folks.



JDeck shares one awesome AT-ST Mech Dio...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, July 2 2023

"I bought some Joytoy Mecha depot diorama buildings. Maintenance Area and Testing Area, and I ordered a second Testing Area from ebay, to make something symmetrical. I've watched several videos on these things and one take away was do it right the first time, because it's almost impossible to take apart.

My plan is to build the Maintenance Area straight, then mash it with the Testing areas on both sides. These things are 90 percent the same parts, each kit might have one unique part, but the rest are the same as all the others. Which makes them super modular and customizable. Ultimately my plan is to build an AT-ST maintenance hangar to go on the bottom shelf of my imperial army display."

He is sure doing some great work so far.
