Topic: Imperial Shipyards Custom Build-Off contest

[DocOutlands]

I've a few 25th Joes I am steadily getting molded.  Which heads are you interested in?

I've got...

Rock-N-Roll
Roadblock
Airborne
Scarlett (HALO jumper)
BAT
Maj. Bludd
Zartan

Might be a couple more out in the shop, hiding w/ Scarlett...

the scarlett head I'd be interested in for other projects doc.  The head I'm needing most for this project though is a major bludd.  with or without his helmet, that doesn't matter.    I'm using the neck and chest of a major bludd for this rider fig and the smaller heads just look awkward on his big ol muscular neck.  if you would like pm me and we can work out a buisness arangement if you do cast any of those...  just make sure you do it before the end of the contest,  I'd hate for you to screw me out of winning the booty.  lol

[narceron]

If you want a big head, try breaker.

I have an extra I'll trade ya for one of your extras,

I really need a new head , I'm trying to make a few new greenshirts(there is no paint on my customs, lol).

[DocOutlands]

Mwahahahahahaha!!!!   

I'll set Bludd up in the next molding run for ya.  His helmet comes off???

[spudafett]

with a little bit of yanking the helmet will give.  I used a major bludd head for my super articulated boushh figure.  It leaves a rather unsightly hole in the back of his head that I had to fill in with apoxi, but it works.  If you can I'd like it without the helmet and i don't care if the hole is still there or not. 

narc the only heads I have left are 2 flint heads, the one with the berrett (I think it's flint, i'm not sure)

[DocOutlands]

Yeah - Flint has the beret.

Wow - Bludd's (really stupid-looking) helmet comes off!  eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeexcellent..........  Now I gotta relocate that pile of Joes he is hiding in - AND figure out where Scarlett has gotten off to.  I've got two sets of heads set up and ready to have mold goo poured up - was waiting until I find Bludd and Scarlett for ya.

[spudafett]

doc if you can still get me those heads that'd be cool... I think I found one that will work... still looks a little odd though.  I'd realy rather have that maj. bludd for this.  Man I need to start doing some e-bay customs or my customizing funds are going to be broke.... lol 

man I'm still waiting for my speeder bike lot I ordered I would have thought it'd be in by now...

[DocOutlands]

Spud, let me pour up one tomorrow and see how it comes out.  I'm sorry, man - I got caught up in these guys I'm working on for Jules and flat forgot to run a test-pull on that head!

[spudafett]

it's alright man. No rush!

[Tamer]

What is our time frame Clint? How much time do they have left to submit pics?

[Clonehead]

Pics must be submitted by midnight us central time on the 13th of September for all entrys. That gives you just over a month and a half left, folks. On that note, I am raising the ante of the prize package by adding this resin cast two piece mini gun that I cleaned up, assembled, and painted, this morning.
  Now the prize is, my little desert dio, my mini gun, and the $50 in paypal money that Shawn generously donated.

This has shaped up to be our biggest contest to date. If you guys wouldn't mind, please sound off that you are planning to participate at this time. That way, we can plan for how big the presentation of the winner announcement will be.

[DocOutlands]

Oh, *I* am in!  I made *really* good progress on two of my four figures for Jules last night, so I'm considering taking the parts of the primed speeder out to the paint-rack today and giving it a coat of color.  I've still got to figure out exactly what I'm wanting to do on the other body style...  (I know - only one entry per person, but I'm gonna build two and then decide which one to enter!)

Brendan isn't sure - the one idea he had isn't working out right.  I'm encouraging him to back off that fixation and look at alternates.

[Clonehead]

Do you need to get Brendan registered as a member so that he can compete, Doc?

[Tamer]

Cool deal Clint. Man, this contest just upgrades everytime I look at it.

Doc, I hope Brendan gets online and into this contest. It is good to have a customs master to guide him.

[spudafett]

So.... I had a speeder sitting there primed and ready to paint and my wife swiped it and took over!  Now, this wasn't the speeder I was going to use for this contest anyway as my big lot of speeders hasn't come in yet but still!  lol I told her about this contest and now she wants to join the forum and submit it, lol...

I'll grab a pic of her working on it so that you don't think I'm cheating, that is if she'll let me... lol last time I tried to get a picture of her customizing I got yelled at!

I still havn't decided on what to do for this yet. My lot of speeders should be here by monday but now I'm thinking about doing a from scratch speeder to ensure that it's something all original...
