Yep, already saw a Wolffe on the 6 inch Collector's Facebook page and I have started on an Alpha ARC:



I won't dremel out the helmet to make it removable, because there's not enough room to make it fit over the head I used. Besides, I'm not a fan of removable helmets, but like to create the illussion of my figure's having one ;)

Wow, that head is INTIMIDATING! Who did that come from?
I have altered the action figure. Pray I don't alter it further.

Well, when it comes to intimidation, you can't go wrong with Frank Castle!

Thanks for the FP mention, Tamer :) My three comissioned figures are in in various stages of sculpting, so while the Fixit is curing I'm working on Alpha.


I found a pretty wicked Alpha costume build on thedentedhelmet.com and want to try this for his helmet:





Here's the thread of that particular build:

Here's another update on Quinlan Vos. Almost ready to paint him!










Update on Satele Shan. Got off to a bad start, but now she's coming along nicely:







And here's shot of the sculpting stage on the 6 inch Alpha ARC:

Nice Remco.

I must admit I just lost a few minutes looking at that fantastic ARC Build. Can't wait to see you do this for that six inch Trooper. That Rangefinder alone is gonna be a cool part.

That Quinlan Vos headsculpt looks suspiciously like Kyle MacLachlan. I approve!

Update on my 6 inch Alpha ARC. Sculpting on the upper body is almost complete. Then it's on to modifying the legs.






Figuring out how to create the range finder. I'll use a tiny piece of clear acrylic sheet in which I will fix a neodymium magnet. The magnet in the picture is too big, though, at 2x1mm. Ordered a bunch of 1x0.5mm magnets off eBay, which will be perfect.

Just though about what I have to sculpt, make, modify to turn that whimpy Clone Trooper into Alpha:

- range finder
- upper left arm: small pouches
- lower left arm: gauntlet
- upper torso front: ammo packs
- power unit for the gauntlet
- upper left and right leg: wrappings
- lower left and right leg: straps
- right shoulder plate
- 2x hip pouches
- 2x hip ammo boxes
- kama
- bandolier
- pauldron
- ammo clips (attached to the right side of the pauldron)
- 2x holsters
- 2x ARC pistols
- Westar M5 blaster rifle
- knife
- knife sheath
- various straps and fasteners

Good to have a list I can scratch things of off once they're done....
