  " The swamp is my world. It is who I am; it is what I am. I was once a man. I know the evil men do. Do not bring your evil here, I warn you. Beware the wrath of Swamp Thing."

  I finished the Swamp Thing. I was going for a mid summer look. I added some diorama plants, from army painter and Silflor. I used woodland scenics fine turf and pastel chalk for the moss. Thats about it. It was a real fun project, and it turned out better than I thought it would. It still needs a base of some kind, because its pretty fragile, thats why I didn't bother with the articulation.

  Thanks BlackThorne! I think it's neat too. One of my favorite projects of late. It looks better in person. Can never get the lighting right on some of my pictures.

   Thanks Tamer! I almost want to make another, based on a different phase of ST. Meybe using ML Venom as a base along with the BAF head it comes with. Who knows, i got a lot of stuff to do.

   Thank you Mr.Jedi! Yeah I've been thinking about a Swamp Thing 2.0. Only this time it would be a figure and a diorama. Make it to where you dont know where Swamp Thing starts and the Swamp ends. Because he is the Swamp, so that would be a fun challenge.

   Thank you Forceflow! I'm always torn when it comes to articulation. Arti is great, but you sacrifice sculpt and detail. Statues look great, but it can never be repositioned. So in the case of a custom statue I can place it in whatever pose I want.

Great job on this guy! One of my favorites back in the 70's.

This is my interpretation of Governor Pryce, from Star Wars Rebels. It is a common custom, but like every custom it is a little different. I used the Deena Shan body with Irina Spalko head. I made code cylinder and rank plaque using Miliput. I put a black wash on the face to highlight the cheekbones and facial features.

Great job (I'll have to steal the recipe!). The dark wash was a really good idea.

Sorry for the delayed reply. Yeah Swamp Thing is awesome!! Best comic series in my opinion.
Thanks!!

Thanks Tamer!! Yeah Rebels is getting really good now. Too bad it's the last season. :(

Love imperials especially woman imperial!  Nice! 
Thabks Stan. Yeah female officers make for great customs, they stand out from the rest of the officers, while still in uniform.

Great job (I'll have to steal the recipe!). The dark wash was a really good idea.
Thanks Starchaser!! Haven't seen ya around in a while. Yeah the black wash worked wonders. I also whiped off the wash on the high points like the cheeks, to ensure they are lighter in color.

I made my "head canon" interpretation of a Stormtrooper Corps Field Marshall. Its just the officer from the KMART exclusive scan crew. With a GI JOE Flint head. I used the armor from the TVC ATAT commander. I painted the peices gloss black with a smoke clear coat.  I wanted to make something reminiscent of the Waffen  SS commanders black parade uniform.
