You mean that is just a WIP? Daggone, then let me take this wip to the front page. Just awesome.
Ah Mexico, land of some of the hottest women on the planet! :D
Yep aware that the correct name is Colonial Marines or USCMC - but some folk aren't as geeky as us!! Also the figure with the smartgun above is the actual GI Joe Iron Grenadier as a stock figure! He is a beaut tho and I almost feel guilty about cannabilising him for parts! May have to keep that awesome head for a custom bounty hunter at some point...
That is awesome! "State of the badass art! " :)
I'd totally love to do something similar...but I know it's beyond my capabilities.
Hi guys!
Thanks yet again for your encouragement and kind feedback!! I've had a nice lazy day today - a bit of shooting in the morning, then some modelling in the afternoon!! I've prepped Mack (Smartgunner) and Wiley (Demolitions) with an basecoat and started on Macks eyepiece/camera/microphone.

I've also built and painted a sniper rifle for "Snoop" the squad sniper, and started to paint the other squad weapons up too.

In other updates I've finished "Soolin" a mysterious female gunslinger from my Star Wars RPG.
Sadly she didnt come out as well as I wanted - I had real problems getting the purple paint to adhere to her jacket!
Here she is though...

Thanks once again for looking,
Ray
To the best of my knowledge it is the first time that we have seen a Green ARC Trooper.
I don't beleive Hasbor has EVER made this version, they made all other colors but not the green one.
Please correct me if I am wrong....
Wow, that is an awesome look ARC. Look for it on the fp tomorrow.those look like gm legs to me, Shawn. Nice parts mix on this one.
What footgear is on this one? Looks awesome.
I used to have that Chewie! I bought him and Prince Xizor together along with Leia disguised as Boushh. I miss that figure. Have they remade Leia in that disguise?

WB out!!
Everyone beat me to it. The Black Hole. I am surprised that movie hasn't been remade yet.
Excellent custom. It makes me want to see that movie again.
I hear what you're saying mate! But I had no choice lol...

I like the sound of Guri (is that the assasin droid Luke lets go?) and always thought it might be interesting to see a Pilot Xizor if he has an outfit when he takes out the Virago. I would love to see someone take on that three and three quarter build one day. I so am going to go find that this weekend and read it again.
@ Tamer - I think she reappears in a conic with Dash?
Hey guys thanks for the great feedback!! The articulation in this RCs is pretty groovy - as Tamer said you can pose them in the most goofy of stances!
(http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z279/red5_album/f7f7d008.jpg)
This guys is a prototype who needs some cleaning up prior to painting as I wasnt sure how much grinding of the Blanx would be needed when I started out!
And as for height? Here's a comparison...there's not a lot in it to be honest!

I'm looking forward to building my battle damaged Robo next! Thanks once again for looking...
All the best,
Ray
Nice parts choices... he should compliment the Anakin nicely... :)I agree completely...well done! :)
Wow, I love the armor look on this guy too. Looks like I am gonna have to put you back on the fp soon.Got it up Tamer. ;) Ray great work on this guy and nice mix of parts I must say. I like how you adapted the marauders webbing. On the FP.
And I got my vintage figures today. You sir know how to pack a box and those figures took me back to the days of yesteryear when I was a kid and the vintage figures were case fresh. Thank you Ray.
LOL. Remember this is WB's Thread. Feel free to start a vintage custom resource thread as I do like the work, but we want to keep this for Ray. Time to go get this update on the front page.Sorry Tamer i will move it! ;D
They are certainly interesting Mando. I'm going to try and stay away from using modern parts though, as I think the difference in detailing distracts me!Yeah you should probably stay away from modern part's cause they are to detailed! :) Did you ever consider sculpting your own vintage pieces? That'd be cool to see you make your own vintage style parts....... just a idea! :)
Although that said my Sandtrooper may well used modified POTF2 parts!
Thanks guys! And no I'm saving my red saber for someone else!!
Hey there!
Ok I broke my own rule about ink washes with this guy - however it was a total repaint of a black bootleg stormie (see last photo for a before and after comparison) and the painted white armour looked very flat. So I made this guy into my 'Tattooine Short-Timer' variant! I'll also do a 'Cherry version!)

In the above pic I missed a patch on his shoulder with my wash! I'd better fix that lolol

The black Stormie on the left is how the Sandtrooper looked before I started on him!

See you all again soon!!
Ray
6 green and purple stormtroopers who combine to ... a Trypticon AT=AT
Ive no idea who Star Killer is!?? (Sorry, I dont watch the Clone Wars, read the books or comics, etc) But that is a seriously cool custom, none the less! Love the paint work! :)
I want Ray drug testing he's knocking out top class customs on an almost daily basis.
Amazing stuff my friend. What is this blanks thing you used?
Er.....thanks HangarBay 94, but this is Wookie Balls thread!!! If you want to see my CMC's you will have to look in my thread! Lol! But these ones by Ray are much better! There are a few people doing the Aliens theme at the mo, perhaps it needs its own section! Lol! ;)
Oh and Benjani I didn't have a Capri, but my mate who joined my first unit with me had a classic silver 3.0S and we spent a summer cruising round Camden with the windows down, wearing our aviators and listening to classic rock - we were total chick magnets!
Yep I'm making Ghost a Nexu!!!
Hi again Art ,Mungo and Elias, thanks for the feedback guys :DAwesome, thanks for the answer. Wish I knew how to do that kinda stuff.
And hey Clone10 thanks as well buddy - and yes those are water slide decals that I produce myself!
Here are a few new customs for you...
Jaina Solo (and one of her with Ben Skywalker!)
Coming VERY soon to a thread near you! :-)
Hey man, excellent stuff as always! What head is that on the Mara Jade? It looks phenomenally better! I think I need to invest in some of those heads!
You know what, I think that I've shared enough with the folks on this page.
