hehe, doesn't look like she'd cold at all, I'm sure she could find someone to keep her warm, then blast him in the morning.

The fire ant:





well.... this is my first set of attempting the hot glue and aluminum foil flame technique... it didn't turn out near as good as I'd hoped.  I realy need to purchase some of the clear paints...

lava trooper

heavilly modified imperial evo trooper:










figure is an evo trooper with lots of add ons.  The backpack is a part from an old snap-tight xwing model.

ha it's funny that over here the color on the lava trooper is aplauded and at st6 a darker color scheme was suggested... 

I actually don't like the colors I used, I think I probably will go back and redo the colors a little darker.

Yeah, they tend to like more "realistic" customs, which might be confusing til you realize it means dark or dull colors, add drybrushing, and add gear, add gear, add gear.  But every small group develops little trends like that.  Over here, more based in SW where color is not scary.

Me, I like bright colors then ink, ink, ink, :)

For this guy, if he was for me, I'd want to lighten him up with yellows and oranges, make him for "fire themed" but I can also see the ST6 opinion that a dark scheme might tie him more to lava, especially the environment of Mustafar

But I agree, its your customs, so do what you think is cool or bad ass.

I think that they look cool. I can envision them in different colors but, I would just make a different colored version, buddy.

Darn, I was going to put them on the Front Page and Tamer beat me to it.

Most likely I'll wind up leaving this one the way it is.  I need to focus on selling some of these before I start up anymore projects...

yeah, I say if you can find a way to support your hobby through sales, do it, do it, now!

I'd love to be able to do that.

I know one thing, if I was still an EU guy I would be all over this one. It is interesting about you customs guys; you make such awesome stuff, but the creators are often the hardest critic. I love it. I have no doubt you will more than make your money back and then some of that evo lava trooper.  Wouldn't this figure have looked cool flanking Palpatine and the shockies going after crispy Anakin!
