Mypron,

Nice customs.  That was a great find by mom.  Mine  sold all of my old stuff.  I might be a female but I had tons of Joes and Star Wars.  But growing up MOTU was mine and my twins thing.  My mom got rid of all of it for cheap.  Yardselling was always our worst nightmare.  We would hide our stuff and she'd always find it.  She had a nose for money.  LOL   Oh, and Spuda your mom couldn't have sold too much at a yard sale  LOL  You brought most of your stuff from home two years ago.  haha
I really liked your tank custom and the starscream is outstanding.  Great paint job on it.  I am looking forward to what else you have in store.

Ah that brings back memories of a bad school trip to the Pittsburg Zoo where my Star Wars figures were thrown away by the school bus driver and then I was yelled at for having them on the bus. Oh well, it is nice to see some childhood toys have been saved.

That is a nightmare of a story, Shawn.
No wonder you are a moc collector.

I've been reminded lately at how COOL (asked him to join the yard a few days back) this guys stuff is .

 http://cgi.ebay.com/CUSTOM-MICROMAN-RC-COMMANDO-TROOPER-Urban-camo-SEV_W0QQitemZ360157041863QQihZ023QQcategoryZ50262QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem.



To that effect I picked up a Microman, and will begin trying to figure out how he created his RC. So we'll see how it turns out.

He has a how to here: http://stores.shop.ebay.com/The-Custom-Toybox/Microclone-how-to-by-Stitch-Fett.html

Probably take me close to a month or more to complete this since I have two ships I'm working on atm.. but hey.. why not start a thread anyways!

Thanks for looking.
Sten

Why go through life base fig, when you can customize?

Oh yeah, I remember seeing a Stitch Fett as a new member, but haven't seen any posts yet. With items that good I hope he does!

I've seen those too.  Way to pricy for my range.  But I understand the price because the microman figures have gotten so pricey, as the entire line was scrapped.

I believe that he might have hollowed out a regular figure and put the pieces over the microman.  Probably some sculpting involved as well.  At least that is how i would go about recreating the figure...

can't wait to see what you pull off.

I've seen several of his customs and they're great looking, this Clone has a cool paint app but I've never been a fan of Microman joints. I've had decent luck kitbashing SW parts to create SA figures in the past.

I have a few micromen still in box. . .hmmm.

Devin et al, Brian has a tutorial on the ST6 boards for adding articulation to the commando figures, if you are interested.

I remember seeing these and reading his how to.
these all looked awesome... commandos and ARCs all given ridiculous super articulation and just breath taking paint aps.
I for one am looking forward to seeing more.

Ok I'm back at it.. it's CLONE TIME!!
I was able to pick up these 4 figures at the local kids clothing consignment store for $3 bucks.

I'm going to make a Clone Sniper Team out of the Droid, Ewok and ARC trooper. Full camo, with a Vehicle.

I am going to use the Ewok as the "Tracker" the droid as the slicer and the vehicle to haul them all around.

Don't know what I"ll do with OB yet = )

I should have some more pics later tonight.. I have the base coat drying now!
