I thought this figure was awesome with all the articulation they gave him but his only problem was he couldn't swivel his biceps so I fixed that. I also dremeled a hole in his back for backpack or additional gear.

I always loved the Keaton/Batman movies and the toys were awesome just now outdated so I rummaged my accessory box and gave him some fun gear as a homage to the toys.

Wow, the figures look like they are awesome. The image resolution on these is a little blurry for me. If I can get some clearer pics I know these will be on the front page!

Excellent kitbashing. I did that same Bilbo/Anakin. There's just no way to resist is there? So you can say that yes, his blade will glow blue when orcs are close... and all other times too.
The exploits of my life are less canonical than they are legendary.

Well that sure stinks about the camera. I swear some folks have nicer cameras on their cell phones than the HD version I supposedly have.

Getting there.

Yes it is...just not happy with the available parts to make this. And painting looks to be a pain. When is Hasbro repacking this figure? Really playing with the idea to try to concentrate and to do this Sithfire30 style but I don't have much experience sculpting. And just for Tamer I'm working on a couple of Old Republic Walker Drivers for my AT-CT's, problem is no source material so gonna have to make one up like I did with Old Republic Biker Scout.

It was literally sithfire that inspired me to start sculpting.  I stumbled upon his work before I started coming to any of the forums, and that's what got me started.  It was very rough in the beginning, as I didn't know what I was doing, and literally every single thing I did was wrong.  I started using super sculpy and cheap paints.  I didn't know at the time techniques like dry brushing, washing, etc.

Anyway, point of the story.....you don't need to know how to sculpt, just have the desire to give it a try and be patient with the knowledge that it's not easy, but with patience and practice, you'll be loving what you put out.

Hey bud your stuff looks great to me!
It's funny because I'm opposite in my thinking on Fix-It. I find it a little tedious to work with. Make sure you let it sit for a while before you begin working with it. Watch the CAFN episodes with sithfire30 in them he gives a good play by play of how to work with Fix-It. I think it was E71 but he is in E72 as well.
I use Fix-It for odd things like bulking-out, some armor and it makes a pretty good glue too. To me it's like working with hard, chewed bubble gum it sticks to almost everything so dip your tools in water. I like to roll it out on wax paper because I can pick up the paper and easily peel it off.

I like Sculpey Firm but if you're using regular Sculpey flesh color that's just fine too. Sculpey if great to use. It's not sticky, it shapes and holds it's form quite well and it works well with metal wax tools. You can fire it and let it cool and add to it and fire it again. I like to fire it at 265 instead of the recommended 275 and cook it for half the time that's advised To smooth it out get some Sculpey Softener and smooth it before firing. I always take a soft, small paint brush and give the piece a light coat all over and let it sit for a few days. You'll notice it drying up and when it's completely dry and you feel good about it cook it.

Now I never use Sculpey on a finished piece. I'll take the original Sculpey piece, let's say a head, and mold it with silicone rubber and cast it in plastic. Comes out great every time. So while you're waiting on the delivery guy give the Sculpey another try. Hey that rhymes.
