"And...here....we....go......Darth Sion (from Knights of the Old Republic):
I had a lot of fun creating him, because I never did something like this....creating scars with blood showing underneath.
Recipe:
*GI Dreadnought figure
*Some soft goods
*Aves apoxie for shoulder pad, boot straps, plates on skirt, and all over body and head to create scars
*Shoulder piece is attached via mini magnet, so I can remove it and put it back on pretty easily. I did it so that he had full mobility of the arm.
*Primed black with multiple layers of dry painting to get a dead skin look (and various red paints for blood)
*Used costume jewelry from Michaels for the bolts
* I didn't have any spare ligthsabers, so I made one from styrene tubes."

Probe Droid MK-V - is a mixer of an old webcam, tooth pick lid, revoltech joints, plasti card tube, plasti card strips, 1/6 scale parts,1/35 scale parts and 1/72 scale parts, Hasbro parts and Star Trek model parts." What can I say other than I wish this was mass produced.

Dobiwan is back with an Episode VII Villian...
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, November 14 2014
"Yes, I know the lightsaber is huge but I have a feeling so is the new villain, I could easily see him locking sabers with a Jedi & pulling the Anakin "no hands Dooku" maneuver with those side saber edges. And yes he's a cyborg too, who isn't in the SW universe!" I kinda like the look of the large saber. It looks pretty daggone menacing!

Smeagol92055 reviews a new figure line!
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, November 10 2014
"So I was in Target this afternoon and, while scanning the stacks for that most holiest of all grails, the DCU Multiverse Christopher Reeve Superman (hey, a guy can dream,) I spotted a new line of Nintendo toys, seemingly released to coincide with the new Smash Bros game! Wario, Yoshi, Mario, and Link were all on the pegs. Well, the first three were, but Link had fallen down behind a stack of stuff and I almost entirely missed him! Here's my (literal) breakdown of the figure: (Or would that be a figurative figure breakdown?) He's got 13 whopping points of articulation, and his breakdown points are all comfortably tight, while his semi-soft to soft plastic body allows him to be taken apart without fear of ripping or breaking anything." Now he states this figure isn't perfect, but he had me at 13 points of articulation!

-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, November 9 2014
"Well as long we're all showing our WIPs. When I got my TBS Bastila Shan, I was so appalled by the paint job that I had tweak it a bit. I also really preferred the hair style on some Devian Art images over that of the game rendering. I hadn't originally intended this one to be my entry. By the time I had gotten this far, I figured I'd go with it." I am glad he did as she looks fantastic.

Thanks for the resources JKNO and always being there to answer my screen accuracy questions!
JDeck finishes his Toad...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, November 9 2014
"Let sleeping toads lie. This little guy was a fun sculpt initially he was made as a background character for my sandtrooper diorama. Not bad for my first sculpt as an adult. I had to use my booger pickers since my tools still aren't here. I think its the beginning of a long list of custom creatures." I am really thinking in the future we need to do a beasty custom contest. I love seeing all these fun creatures get action figure forms.
ST Juggernaut is back with a great new Marvel Custom...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, November 9 2014
"Like most Marvel Cinematic Universe fans, I've been waiting ages for them to finally reveal that they are making a Black Panther movie. After the casting a few weeks ago of Chadwick Boseman in the role and some concept art that was shown, I decided to take a stab at him to add to the other Avengers/MCU figures I've made. The suit is extremely complex, so I tried to get it as accurate as I could, but as usual, have taken a little artistic license here and there." It looks pretty awesome to me!

-- Posted by Tamer on Saturday, November 8 2014
I figure this might be old news, but I would be remiss if I didn't do showcase that we saw the official word this week on the new title for Episode VII. Of course I didn't know the force was asleep, but this is definitely something to make us all a bit more curious as the Celebration VII and the new film's premier edges ever closer. I found this article by Empire a pretty good read on conjecture about the new film too.

"So, making progress on my 1:18 scale predator based off of my desire to make one a little more mobile than the ReAction 1:18 scale figure. Thinking I'm gonna try and rework his head since I've gotten a lot of crap from people who have seen the head on IG." Well I for one think it looks pretty daggone good. It is such a vast improvement on the ReAction Figure.
JDeck is working on a toad!

"I couldn't sleep last night so I had the idea to make a Worrt the toad that sits outside of Jabba's Palace. He was always one of my favorite creatures from star wars. I built most of his front side still need to work on the back. Once he's cured I'll use my woodglue technique to add the texture and skin." I think this is a really cool project. Wouldn't it be cool to get a Jabba's Monastery and have one of these!

That is the name for his new Hoth Speeder fashioned after an Episode 7 Speeder Image we just might see on the big screen around next year this time. I know one thing, it looks tough as all get out and definitely is gonna make a nice compliment to all of the great Hoth Stuff he is putting together. I knew that six inch customizing was gonna take off, but seeing things like this really amazes me!

"Unfortunately, due to my RL work schedule at the moment, it could be some time before Descent Part Three is completed. So in the meantime I knocked up a little teaser image of some of the characters and plot lines that are going to take place during the rest of Volume Four. A sort of trailer in comic form, I guess." Tales From The Clone Wars is just awesome folks!
Ron Hembling is back with a new diorama project already!
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, November 4 2014
"I was doing another scout and speeder dio but decided to put it aside when I was looking at the Mytho Obi Wan and I really liked the outfit and decided to do a dio in that style. This dio will be about 10-12 yrs after ROTS and will depict Obi Wan just after he has taken out a unit of Sandtroopers as they were getting to close to the LARS Homestead." Well I think that is just a rad idea and I can really see the potential here.

Ron Hembling creates a six inch Aqua Trooper Diorama...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, November 2 2014
"I built a 3-3/4" Aqua Trooper way back in 2007 and decided to build another Aqua Trooper but this time in 6" scale. Aqua Trooper is a Hasbro Black Series figure and is just the scout redone by putting him in a pose I liked and then super gluing the joints and then I puttied up the joints, once the putty had dried I the covered the cloth areas in tissue paper. I then added flippers/air tanks and hoses from a 6" Madelman Scuba Diver." Talk about another fantastic use for the six inch Scout Trooper!

Once I saw a Predator figure with the trademarked 5 points of articulation I knew I needed to make a 1:18 scale that could actually move. Here's the current state of the figure." I must say I bet we had the same head shake in regards to this Re-Action Figures.

"Here is a Jedi Master CELESTE MORNE custom figure. She is seen in the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic comics. Her soft goods are made from real leather that I painted. I sculpted her head and hair too." She looks pretty awesome to me.
Have you seen JDeck's WW2 Star Wars Diorama?
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, November 2 2014
"This is a WW2 inspired version of the Battle of Endor. The walker is an AMT AT-ST with some ww2 parts and decals. The bunker is modeled after a German blockhouse type bunker. The figures are star wars miniatures that I customized with 1/48 parts." Trust me folks you will enjoy that click.

Its a new episode of the Realm Recap...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, November 2 2014
"Our show returns this week as Flyguy and I discuss the latest in Star Wars collecting. All has been quiet on the Black Series front in the US, but our neighbors to the south recently had a huge roll out of the Black Series line at Walmart that included the Prototype Boba Fett as well as a slick Limited Edition lithograph. On the other side of the pond, UK collectors are getting Star Wars Rebels action figures by way of Disney Stores as US collectors are still coming up empty. Sideshow and Medicom give us some “Rebels” tease of their own and we highlight a few notable custom pieces — all on Episode 37 of The Realm Recap!"

Taking some of the most poignant moments from all of our beloved SW Films and putting it into an action figure diorama type photo-novel this is one great read. The image creation is just excellent as well. Click on through and enjoy Will of The Force Issue 2.
Its time for the 21st update on HALCION"s AT-AT

"Lower leg and ankle masters are done, I have started the foot and toe for molding as well." Can you believe he is finally working on the foot pieces for this! I have been sick since last week, but this project is definitely keeping me logged in and excited.
Killer Panda is back with a killer update...

Sorry, I couldn't resist punning this a bit, but his latest custom update is downright gorgeous. "Well one of the helmets I was working was for my female Merc/Security Officer Capt Ryanne Furíje, the body is based on Shae Visla, the head is from a Slave Leia, extra armor and pouches from some clone troopers and knife, holsters and blasters pistols custom made."
Custom Jedi reminds us dioramas are fun!

There is nothing, well maybe a few things, but there is not much as fun as taking your figures and putting them into movie specific poses and scenes whether it be after a movie scene you remember or one you just cooked up yourself. Click on in and see how much fun CJ is having.
JDeck shows us a new mash up...
-- Posted by Tamer on Saturday, November 1 2014
"This model is a Revell AT-AT that was inspired by a combination Tiger tank, Geustov rail gun and an armored train. It has yet to be comleated I hope to look it in the eye again and get it finished. This was extremely time consuming. Every panel line was grinded and re-scribed. I added a metric crap ton of parts." He says this is not finished, but the work in progress pictures are just fantastic!
Dobiwan shows us his E7 version of Han and Chewie...
-- Posted by Tamer on Saturday, November 1 2014
"Yes they are getting older but they are still a dynamic duo. I made Chewy a bit thicker & with the rumored bionic arm & Han a lil leaner with the cowboy style trench coat & side blasters." I could definitely see them looking something like that for the future.
