Narceron's Custom Figures
« on: May 21, 2009, 08:54:12 AM »
I like V, I like toys, so I thought I'd try my hand at them.  This is a copy of the post from the ST6 boards where clonehead rescued me, lol.

I love the look of the imperial navy, but can't fit star wars into my toyverse, so I thought, why not combine them.

This is the Sirian Imperial Navy, :)

Well, scientific expeditionary force, I think, technically.

We come in Peace.

Friendship is Universal.







I ran into a few problems, the primer I tried was crap, either that or it doesn't work in humidity.  I'll be going back to grey, :)

Second, this symbol,   is kind of beyond my ability for some reason.  Usually I would just use my micron pen, but it ate through the primer, lol, too sharp, might need to get a larger one, :)


Anyway, I'm happy with them as starts, but hopefully I'll be able to get some assistance with refining them from the talented members here.  I don't want those lame leather vests, I'd like to keep the look of the Empire, but everything else from the Visitors.

I need to find a way to add their stripes and rank stuff, too, but like I said, these are just starter figures to get me going.

I have a ton of imperial figures that need to be made into these guys, :)

Not as sold on those helmets as I once was, and now Dion has me wanting better weapons.

Eventually, I hope they make a 25a figure I can use as a base, then I can say I've changed everything, you  know, eventually, :)

did find one thing I like, the armor.

I think it makes them look more movie appropriate.

Linkie? How about link for i have never seen these guns before.

I really like your Imperial troopers converted to soldiers from the V tv series, Simon. That was a pretty cool idea and you are right. They work perfect for that. I like those Death Star troopers with the extra body armor. Now I know why you like the clone training armor, so much.
  Nice job, buddy. Show us more please.

I'm liking them!  The armor does make them look even nice!  I, too, am curious about these Marauder weapons...

Marauder john is the coolest guy you'll ever meet, down to earth, fun, and actually interested in what his customers say.

I met him at the Canadian Joe meet, :)

Make sure you mention that Narceron sent ya and that you think Visitor weapons would be super cool, lol.

I've conversed with him by email before and agree!  And yeah - I have that link bookmarked.  Good-lookin stuff, he has!  I need to get my notes out and go back over what he has and has added, so that I can work up some good stuff.

"John, Narceron (gave me a sweet Visitor custom and told me he) wanted me to tell you I love your stuff and think Visitor weapons would be GREAT!!"

Daggone, I loved the V series when it came out. I can still remember my mom trying to make me turn it off after they started eating rats and that little baby with the tongue! That was a cool Sci Fi Series. I had almost forgotten about it. Wasn't Diana the really bad gal in the first run?

yeah, the original was made by, umm, kenneth, errr, crap.

Anyway, the follow up movie and series were done by NBC guys, or whoever aired it.


Basically, giant motherships descend on the earth putting ships over every major signal, they then broadcast a code, we come in peace, that sort of thing.

They look human, but have different dietary needs, :)

not bad for being made in what, 83?

I painted up another one of these guys today, I really need to find a way to knock out the other 16 or so I'm doing and get a smooth finish.

I am eager to try the water bubble method I learned about on here.

Anyone have any ideas on making a shuttle for them?
