Jedi Minstrel is back!
-- Posted by Tamer on Saturday, November 30 2019
"Life takes over and you can only watch sometimes. My friends, here is a teaser custom from a whole line I'm putting together. Maybe I'll post more soon...or later."

Looks great to me, hope its sooner rather than later!



RC-1136 shares a new custom figure...
-- Posted by Tamer on Saturday, November 30 2019
"I fully articulated this guy and gave him a whole new facial repaint.

Vilmarh Grahrk, or Villie as he was often known, was a male Devaronian smuggler during the waning years of the Galactic Republic and the early days of the Galactic Empire. A notorious gambler, grifter and scoundrel, Villie took part in a number of underhanded schemes in his quest for money and women."

I like this one too.



Ron Hembling updates us on his latest project...
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, November 29 2019
"Hi All,

Update on the Gustav Repair dio.

I added rocks using kitty litter except for the large rock which my son got for me from school LOL. The ground work is a mix of fine sand and spakfilla and once applied and dried I painted and weathered it and the rocks using Vallejo Paints. The tent/shelter frame work was made using thin plastic rod as were the pegs and the cover is tissue and the rope is black cotton and once dry will be painted and weathered.

I have finished painting the Gustav and I added a little weathering and just need to add decals and then complete the weathering. The equipment that is on the base so far has been painted and weathered using Vallejo Paints.

Ron"

Like we knew Ron wouldn't work his regular magic yet again!



Chuckles keeps amazing us...
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, November 29 2019
"I like the Aphra figure, but wished the hat was removable. I used my second Aphra's vest and gunbelt for my Twi'lek custom so I ripped off the hat/hair piece, gave her new hair, and a new gunbelt for an easy-to-make second look.

I went back and reworked the Ewok War Party. Some fresh accessories, added details, and some paint highlights."

And if that isn't enough he added more henchman and even got into a new Yaddle. He really takes parts placing to a whole new level. It makes me wonder if he works for parts plus or another similar outfit.




Bossk's Bounty shares a video review...
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, November 29 2019
He gets his hands on the new Heavy Mandalorian. The dude just gets the new stuff in like yesterday.



RC-1136 shows us Etain...
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, November 29 2019
"Jedi General, Etain Tur-Mukan

Republic Intelligence Officer and Underworld Smuggler"

I sure miss Republic Commando. RC-1136 is keeping it alive.

JDeck finishes his Ewok Village...
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, November 29 2019
"I declared the day before Thanksgiving to be Ewok Wednesdayay. In the spirit of the holiday, I will reveal the Ewok Village. I'm not 100% finished. I hit a snag with the wiring. Evidently I had too many bulbs, and the 9v battery couldn't light them all. So for the left side hut I'm just going to use a cheap electronic tea light. Also I need to glue down all the different floor sections to the base, now that all of the Fab is done. But this is what I have."

It looks great!



Starchaser shares a new custom...
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, November 29 2019
"Erris Raeke – As an Arkanian Offshoot (Sephi-Arkanian hybrid), Erris was already looked down upon, but when his parents were killed in a mining accident Erris became a pariah on Arkania. Offshoot orphans were doomed to become child miners and were considered “dispensable.” Erris’ life would have been miserable and short had not a travelling Jedi sensed his connection with the Force and brought the six-year old to Coruscant."

And that is just the start of a most excellent backstory and custom.



Darth More shares more on Grooveman76...
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, November 29 2019
"Good morning & happy Monday everyone! grooveman76 listed 505 (!!!) new auctions with tons of nice & rare Star Wars Hasbro figures & accessories! They end next Sunday - so happy bidding & good luck!

Jabba Man shares more upgrades to his Lando Falcon...
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, November 29 2019
"Ok so I finally was able to get some pics up of the new cockpit LEDs and the front mandible LEDs. Enjoy"

Talk about one sweet ship. Hard to believe this is made from a BMF Falcon folks!



RC-1136 work on his Gunship a bit more...
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, November 29 2019
"So does anyone else HATE how the gunship chin guns are crooked? Or cockeyed rather?

I fixed that."

He is really decking this thing out so it is fully functional. I hope if Hasbro ever does release one of these again they take some notes from RC-1136!



I have been out of action for a week, but wow look at this!
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, November 29 2019
I think we were all wowed last week by the Heavy Mandalorian and I got back to civilization and had a great email from Hasbro with information on how to get this great figure at Best Buy. I already have one on route because THIS IS THE WAY!



We start today with Dan's great Best Buy news...
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, November 29 2019
Looks like the story was true about the Hovertanks for ten bucks!

Looks like the statues are already at Five Below too!




Chuckles shares even more great customs...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, November 24 2019
"This might be one of my top 3!!! You guys got to see some of the work earlier (above), and getting past that neck-joint hurdle really got me motivated to finish this guy.
SubjectHere's my brand-newest custom henchman
!

I used the the head and hands from Umpass Stay, the Indiana Jones 'Chief Temple Guard' figure's upper body and arms, and his belt/bandolier piece with added pouches from Marauders, the skirt from Wooof, and I don't remember where the legs came from.

I like to think of these three as a crew of pirates. Maybe they work with, or deal with Jabba's crew, but they're not really palace henchmen."

He is really knocking out some great combinations.




Stan is back with a modern vintage custom...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, November 24 2019
"Cheif Moradin Bast joins Modern Vintage Collection. Headsculpt is by Evergrey, torso- Death Star briefing set Bast, arms - captain Needa, legs and Goan- comic Pak thrawn. Everyone on the boards have a great thanksgiving and see y’all soon will soon really nice updates previous and new figures."

Stan always does a great job.



Ron Hembling starts a new project...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, November 24 2019
"Hi All,

WIP - 1:35 scale Maschinen Krieger, Gustav Repair.

This diorama will depict a Gustav being repaired after a battle and the mechanics have started straight away while the pilot talks to the head mechanic. I have built all the figure's/equipment etc I just need to fill in a gaps and start painting.

Figure's are from Miniart and the pilot is from set #37005 USMC Tank crew and the mechanics are from set #35285 German tank crew at work (Special Edition). The Gustav is from Hasegawa and it comes with two figures and is set #64102.

The special edition tank crew set comes with plastic and photo etched tools and parts and the other tools and equipment are from Italeri is set #419 Field tool shop."

He even includes a link for that Gustav is you are interested. Its gonna be a great dio!



RC-1136 modifies his LAAT!
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, November 24 2019
"The main doors arrived today and I modified them. The smaller, forward doors are coming from England, so it will be a bit."

Pure genius with those turrets.




We are all going APE over the Mandalorian!
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, November 24 2019
Warning, spoilers will apply in this section, but we are all raving about this series. Click through and see why. The combination of Filoni, Chow, and Favereaux is giving us the best Star Wars since the Original Trilogy. Yes, it is that good folks!

I have made some very powerful statements regarding this new series after watching Episode 3 this past Friday. I mean every word.



Darth More checks in on Tunghori...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, November 24 2019
"Our dearest businessperson tughori has got some rather random, but very hot new listings!

Visit his store here:
https://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?item=392521735127&hash=item5b641e5bd7%3Ag%3AVckAAOSwoaNdwD7u&_ssn=tunghori&_sop=10

When I saw the VC113 Republic Trooper right at the top yesterday, I couldn't believe it. A couple years ago he offered it for $24.99. It was the last unit yesterday, but he listed 9 more this morning and they don't seem to sell right away this time around. Got one of those for 2,23€ last Saturday so I'm a happy camper with two of those now.

Update: 5 units of VC113 sold within 2 hours...200 bucks for tunghori. Easy money. Thanks!



Izzy Mel 45 astounds us all again!
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, November 24 2019
"Working on a commission 3d model and print of the Bespin Torture Chamber Micro Play set. Almost done with the print and design. Found somethings I still need to go back and fix. Thanks for watching."

Folks this will bring a tear to your eye. So awesome!



Dan shares new news on Rogue One Tank...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, November 24 2019
Looks like Five Below is gonna sell the Hovertank for $10! Wow!



RC-1136 reworks his Clone Commander...
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, November 22 2019
"So I went back to the drawing board a bit with my custom clone commander. I reworked him to be a commander featured in my favorite book series. I added water slide decals to him, which I think I did a good job with.

Clone Commander Levet (CC-3388/0021)"

Nice. Very nice.



Chuckles shares a new custom...
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, November 22 2019
"This one was made a couple months ago. I like to think of him as more pirate than henchman.

Pretty sure the head is Vedain or Vizam. Pretty sure the chest is the 2011 Endor Rebel Commando. I don't remember where the arms came from, but I didn't cut them; they had longer gloves that I popped off. His current gloves came from a limited-articulation Boba Fett; I cut them off the Fett arms, drilled holes into them, and mounted them on the pegs that held the previous gloves on these arms."

That is just the start of the recipe and description folks. Wow, Chuckles really puts the pieces together. I would love to see him coming up with new combinations for Hasbro!



Joe Ryhno shows us his peroxide trick...
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, November 22 2019
"Here are the pics I had on favebook. Haven't done this in a while, here's the stuff I used. Then a pic of Padme in her fI'll yellowness, then in the solution and finally after I took her out."

Now that is one awesome fix.



RCW Creations is back with a WarHammer 40K Update...
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, November 22 2019
"On top of these two I have also finished off my Plasma Thermal Regulators and Thermic Plasma Conduits. These I started a couple of months ago. After base coating them in Abbadon Black I then painted them with Leadbelcher. Both coats were done using GW's airbrush paints, it meant I could get an even coat. I've used Nuln Oil for shading, Retributor Armour for the pipes, Agrax Earthshade to shade that. Thousand Sons Blue for the plasma and then edged with Temple Guard Blue."

Talk about one outstanding update!



Dan is back with ALIEN news...

"Hangover crossover"

If that movie met the Mandalorian TV Series. Man I am loving that how. Just one more day till we get a new episode!



Izzy Mel 45 shares a video of his Hoth Turret...
-- Posted by Tamer on Thursday, November 21 2019
"This is a 1/6 scale version of the 3D model I made."

Such a cool project. I can't imagine how awesome this would sell if created en masse!



Jabba Man shows us more of his new ship...
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, November 20 2019
"She was recently repainted. I wanted it to look kinda like the ship from alien resurrection but I think I like the dirty version better"

I don't know I like this version too!



Darth More shares a new yellowing trick...
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, November 20 2019
"Option 2: If option 1 is not enough you can still lighten yellowed parts with...hydrogen peroxide!

I know it's all been done before, but here is my experiece with H2O2 and the result of my first experiment with this radical:

It's a sad fact that our collectibles will never look as white as they were brand new once they started yellowing. But this is a solution to get at least a little less yellow...or a little more white back - depending on your point of view:"

His results are great!



Ron Hembling is back with a Terminator Project...
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, November 19 2019
"Hi All,

T-800, Terminator Killer.

Recipe.

T-800 - I used two Terminator figures from NECA to make this figure from his in the metal works factory and once I got him in the pose I like I glued the joints and puttied them up and also added the flesh damage using putty and repainted him and weathered him using Vallejo Paints.

Base - the lower base is a plastic stand from Mezco and the diorama section is made using high density foam as are the cement sections. The metal rods are pieces of twisted wire and then inserted and glued into place. The dirt is a mix of sand and spakfilla and once the whole diorama was done it was painted and weathered using Vallejo Paints and Pastel chalks.

Ron"

I have so got to see the new movie!



Chuckles shares more customs and a how to session...
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, November 19 2019
"Almost caught up! Only a few more back-catalog customs to share!

Here's my Chachi De Maal (the other Cantina Duros character).

I had a little time after dinner, and a project needing work, so I snapped some in-process photos.

I guess it's a minor spoiler because you can see I'm working on another henchman, but really are you surprised?"

He even shares links to the tools and products he uses to make these great creations!




Starchaser makes a relative...

Moronarama is back with his November Batch...
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, November 19 2019
"I present my November Batch of custom figures.

I usually try to get 3 batches in between November and Christmas, so fingers crossed this will be one of three in quick order.

Available on eBay until 11/24/18.
https://www.ebay.com/str/weakcut/Custom-Action-Figures/_i.html?_storecate=49737563013

I've also decided to start including the recipes for my figures.
Professor Zombot
Another zombie robot. The body and legs or from a Ready 2 Robot figure, the arms are Battle Droid, the head is an original sculpt in Super Sculpy and the dome is an Idea-ology glass vial from Hobby Lobby.

Anto Mislah - Quarren Bounty Hunter
The head and hands are from a Kenner ROTJ Squid Head figure, torso and arms are Vintage Kithaba (Skiffguard), and the legs are Black Series Vizam. The Squid Head had been chewed on by a dog, so I like to pretend old Anto survived an encounter with a Rathtar."

Folks trust me when I say that is just the start of a great many update. Talk about some cool creations.



RCW Creations continues his Armoury...
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, November 19 2019
"I made two more batches of weapons and with some left over resin, I made another Cobra symbol.

With the extra weapons I am able to fill the walls. My client has requested that I leave space on one of the walls so he is able to hand some removable weapons.

Now I've completed the casting I can start painting."

Talk about one interesting process to observe.



Chuckles shares an update...
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, November 18 2019
"More parts from a recent local figure-fan meetup.

No reason the boys should get all the cool smuggler jobs.

I managed to get another couple (cheap!) Vintage Imperial Guards yesterday. One is probably going to be striped for parts, but the other joins the squad to even the number at four."

It is interesting to see him swap out the ole head ball for one that fits.




Dan shares new Spacer Customs...
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, November 18 2019
"Retro Styled Spaceport Visitors

Spaceports across the galaxy play host to billions of sentients of all shapes and sizes every day. Multitudes of travelers including humans, near human species, reptilians, aquatic beings, insectoids and those with body plans that are almost inconceivable arrive and depart constantly. You never know what you will see on any given day.

Note: This was an exeriment in using some of my wife's holographic nail polish to paint the figures' robes.

I wanted them to look like something out of old low budget sci-fi movies and television shows which often used "sparkly" material such as lame` for futuristic or alien costumes."

I would definitely call that one successful experiment!



Jabba Man shares a new project!
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, November 18 2019
"Hey guys been busy with work lately and adult stuff but here is a project I have been working on for a couple years now. Hope you enjoy"

Wow, I think we all recognize this one! And he is lighting it up too!




Sid shares his yellowing solution...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, November 17 2019
"My solution I call: D'ultimate

FIRST just rinse off the figure. Then use dish soap which has a degreaser and just smother the item/figure/etc. Let it sit then use slightly warmish water and tooth brush to scrub it all down. This will get the grime off."

Click through to see the rest of his steps. Sounds like it would work great!



Chuckles shares more great customs...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, November 17 2019
"I make a lot of these fan-fic henchmen figures (still a few older ones I need to shoot & share). This one is brand new, inspired by the E1 Mandolorian thugs."

He later shares the parts list. I mean parts from over eight different figures are on this one. You gotta admire that type of dedication to good parts. You can also scroll around and see how he organizes all his parts too. He is really organized!



We get a kickstarter update from Blue Milk...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, November 17 2019
They share some images of the coins and then I read this;

"Many of you have been asking about the shipping date of the book. When we launched the campaign, we committed to a December 2019 ship date. Regrettably, we are pushing the release date back to the first quarter of 2020."

They share their reasons after the click through.



Izzy Mel 45 unhinges my jaw again!
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, November 15 2019
"I made a 1/12 scale version and was asked to make a 1/6 scale version of it. Still some work left to do. Han Hot Toys for scale."

Now that is just plain awesomesauce!



Chuckles shares two new customs...
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, November 15 2019
"Here's a couple RARE figures from me. Rare because they're on-screen characters instead of fan-fic.

First up is Jabba's pal Geezum. It turned out ok, but honestly I'm not sure I love this Agen Kolar body. I may one day revisit this figure.

This guy is inspired by the Aqualish that can be seen in Jabba's Palace, but is probably not all that screen-accurate since there aren't good pictures of that guy."

And make sure you scroll down to see his closet organizers too. Now I can see how he has all those great parts!




RCW Creations finishes his Friday the 13th Diorama...
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, November 15 2019
"Final pictures are done, since I don't have a Jason figure I thought vampires would work just as well."

That works for me!

"And how about one more fan-fic human jabba guard today!?

Skiff Lando arms, Nikto Skiff Guard chest and belt/skirt (repainted), Boss Fight Studio head, and I don't remember where the legs came from."

He also has a new Nemodian to peruse.




JDeck continues his Endor Build...
-- Posted by Tamer on Thursday, November 14 2019
"Here's a little update, I just want to show you guys how I'm building these huts. Once I built the frame I used a mixture of water and white glue, I dipped pieces tissue paper into the mixture, then laid them over the frame. I let it dry for a few hours, then painted them.

I'm working on the roof right now. I got my bundle of straw and cut them into short pieces, then starting at the bottom glue them around. Then the second layer I do the same, but overlapping the bottom row. I'll just keep going around and up the roof until it's done. A bit time consuming but I think it'll pay off."

It is really looking nice to me!



So what did you think?
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, November 13 2019
I so want to give my opinion, but I want to hear others' thoughts before I do. I won't give any of the story away, but you can read my first thoughts on this when you click on through. All I will say is I think they have a sure fire hit on their hands!

UPDATE! RC-1136 has created a new discussion thread where the episodes are broken down, but beware as spoilers are the name of the game in that particular thread.



Ron Hembling completes his Bat Rooftop Diorama...
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, November 13 2019
"Hi All,

Batman - Bat Signal - Completed

Diorama/Display - The roof top is high density foam and I used a sharp pencil to make the brick work and roof top section. I then used a piece of sandstone and tapped over the brick work and roof to give it more realistic look. The Ladder is made using plastic rod and plastic card.

The signal is made from PVC plumbers pipe connections and plastic card and the light is a cheap book light I picked up of ebay. The glass is a piece of clear plastic and the bat logo was done by picking a logo I liked and then I traced it on the soft model plastic and cut it out.

The whole diorama/display was painted and weathered using Vallejo Paints and Pastel chalks.

Ron"

The light really works. So cool!



Chuckles is back with even more...
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, November 13 2019
"Big update tonight.
These next few don't really count as customs; its more just me playing with my toys, but I wanted more from troopers so here are some easy headswaps.

Oldest first. I put a POTF2 Death Star Trooper (the one with the really crappy leg pose) on an Imperial Officer body. (Imp officer also in the photo for reference.)

And there is a lot more headswaps than that. He also did some great work on some astromechs (click the image below for more)!




RCW Creations shares a diorama update...
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, November 13 2019
"I've built a cover to hide the LEDs, cables and battery pack. I've placed a Cobra emblem over the centre, when painted will become a permanent fixture."

It is really coming along well!



RC-1136 converts some buckets for Clone use...
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, November 13 2019
"When life won't give you Clone Trooper buckets, use converted Stormtrooper buckets instead!"

I like how he has painted these up!

-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, November 12 2019
"Hi All,

I added some extras onto the light and dio before I primed it. I added a partial ladder by using plastic rod and plastic card, I also made a on/off power box using plastic card and added two power boxes at the top and bottom of the signal using Bandai Sandtrooper back pack parts and plastic card.

Ron"

Talk about one fantastic light effect!

Happy Veterans Day...
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, November 11 2019
Before we all go enjoy our holiday today I wanted to thank veterans and their families for their sacrifices today. They put themselves in harms way so we can enjoy our freedoms. Remember to think of and thank a veteran today!



Chuckles shares some custom Mandos...
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, November 11 2019
"Here's a quick add-diversity-to-the-ranks Mandalorian repaint. I swapped out the belt, and I added the cape from the stupid 2003 Silver Boba Fett. And the new symbol on the chest is a slide-off decal from Bad Mother Customs

And, sticking with Madalorians (I'm SO EXCITED about tomorrow's premire), here's another I painted up. Mostly it's weathering, and I repainted the wrist armor and backpack to match (pretty sure that's not his original backpack).




RCW Creations shares final images and an update...
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, November 11 2019
"With the chaos of the past couple of weeks of being told you are being made redundant and finding a new job I have finally done my final pictures of the Open Grave.

Made the window today using perspex, bolsa wood for the frame. Once all sanded the window has been glued into pace and ready to be painted.




JDeck starts building the huts...
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, November 11 2019
"Okay, so I started on the huts. Currently I'm working on the secondary hut. I built the frame up using polystyrene rods and hot glue. I started using styrene cement, but it works too slowly, and doesn't hold the pressures of the bent rods as well as I'd like, because I'm super impatient. Anyway, it's the frame, it's not perfect, but it'll do. Also here's a sneak peak WIP custom Ewok I have in the works. He's gonna be the Rambo of Ewoks."

This is all turning out great.



Stan shares a great custom project...
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, November 11 2019
"Attark the Hoover as seen in jabba the palace dungeon, maybe? Andreas sculpt this beauty; commission by my brother Kai, Chris casted the parts up so nicely. My contribution was just paint."

Now that is just plain awesome!



Ron Hembling shares a new project...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, November 10 2019
"Hi All,

While I've been waiting for materials to arrive I started on a 1:12 Bat signal and Roof top dio the other day and thought I would show some WIP pics.

The signal so far is made from PVC plumbers pipe connections, plastic card, military model parts and the light is a cheap book light I picked up of ebay. The glass is a piece of clear plastic and the bat logo was done by picking a logo I liked and then I traced it on the soft model plastic and cut it out.

The roof top is high density foam and I used a sharp pencil to make the brick work and then used a piece of sandstone and tapped over the brick work and roof to give it a more realistic look.

Ron"

I can't wait to see Ron start his batcave. This Batman Stuff is great!



Darth Daddy shares a new custom...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, November 10 2019
"This is a project we finished earlier in the year but just got around to posting up on the blog. The "Nima Outpost Model Kit for Bobbajo" produced by Asis Film Models is a 3.75" scale figurine and is a great addition to any Star Wars action figure collection. It is an ultra-detailed resin cast that we purchased online. Once we received it in the mail, I then assembled and painted it by hand." - Elias"

Looks pretty daggone fantastic to me!



Rastanz is back with two Luke upgrades...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, November 10 2019
"Luke head sculpt upgrade & swap...

Bought a couple of head sculpts during my travels, a TESB 2.0 and a ROTJ Luke (both with movable eyes) for a minor upgrade on two of my 1/6 figures, one being the Bespin version of Luke and the other, well, I haven't decided on yet but the head sculpt that I will be replacing on Bespin Luke I will be swapping over to X-wing flight suit Luke."

He did an awesome job taking images and describing what he did to upgrade his 1/6 scale figures. Awesome stuff.



Chuckles shares a new custom...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, November 10 2019
"I made this a year or two ago using Skiff Lando pants, Rebel Commando arms, Nikto Skiff Guard chest and waist, and Weequay hands, and Weequay head with dreadlocks removed and an Indiana Jones Indian hair thing added. I left him pretty clean (instead of weathered), and like to think of him as the dapper skiff guard."

That top not is really awesome!



RC-1136 shares an update...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, November 10 2019
"So I've decided I wanted to upgrade my Phase I clone pilots to phase II. I purchased this pilot and I'm modeling a crew with similar aesthetics."

I like him, it will be interesting to see the entire crew. Be sure to click through and see more images.



Darth More fills us in on Grooveman...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, November 10 2019
"grooveman76 is one seller on ebay who I know for a couple years now. I never bought from him, yet, but I've been watching his auctions. And I'm amazed how much people bid for loose figures by now.

Many Star Wars fan sites make indirect advertisment for shady tunghori. Nobody knows where this seller from Macau gets his/her figures for sure.
And I share his new listings, too! So I think it's more than fair to feature other sellers on here as well!

Here's the link to his ebay store: grooveman76

https://www.ebay.com/str/Star-Wars-Action-Figure-Center?_sop=1&rt=nc

I think his assortment is amazing. He also has TAC Darth Revan and Malak almost in every series of auctions and sometimes he also sells figures of different lines such as MARVEL. He got almost all modern figures from 1995 until today!"

Be sure to click in and share your thoughts with Darth More. I need to go check out some of these auctions.



Darth More shares what a Rocket Firing Fett will set you back...
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, November 8 2019
"As you might've heard, auction house Hake's in York, PA had one graded AFA85+ Rocket-firing Boba Fett up for auction for a month. The auction ended yesterday (Thu, Nov. 7, 2019).

The approximate value was estimated between $200,000-$500,000.
15 valid bids were given and the winning bid was...




JDeck continues work on his Ewok Village...
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, November 8 2019
"Construction Is well underway, the second level is just about complete. I had to cut down my trees, because I'm going to fit this whole display in a bookshelf, so you get to see a cross section of the tree. I went to the hobby shop to get the materials needed for the huts, also I grabbed up some dead stalks from a decorative grass of some kind, for the thatched roof, so that'll happen soon enough."

Now this is coming along nicely! Those Ewoks know how to build.



Darth More shares a great Wal-Mart deal!
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, November 8 2019
"And here comes the next steal-of-a-deal! TVC Imperial Armored Assault Tank is in stock at Walmart for just $24.99 instead of $79.99 MRSP!!

TVC Poe's X-Wing is also reduced to $84.99:"

Wow, I will admit I lost a bit of time this morning getting a few more of these myself! They do free delivery on orders over $35 (ofcourse ship to store is still free) so why not get two!



Darth More checks in on Tunghori...
-- Posted by Tamer on Friday, November 8 2019
"tunghori lists new figures! This morning I actually saw another new one! The TVC Knight of Ren! Since JTA gets alerted instantly by their readers and the figures sell within seconds I've not even a chance to get them...good luck to you!

Here's the link to his store: https://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?item=392521735127&hash=item5b641e5bd7%3Ag%3AVckAAOSwoaNdwD7u&_ssn=tunghori&_sop=10

And here are his listings I could find while they were online:

He also listed some of the Retro Collection Wave 1 figures (Vader, Luke, Stormtrooper, Leia, Chewie and the exclusive Tarkin)!"

It is always great to see what tunghori is listing!

Imperial Officer shares a big update...
-- Posted by Tamer on Thursday, November 7 2019
"I started working on the crab knight the other day, and I did a few figures today too. I painted a bunch of undead miniatures for Halloween as well.

I started using an airbrush to basecoat figures recently, and today I tried to do more than usual. I really like the effects I got with the orange. I envision him as the leader of some sort of cult, and a couple of high ranking members."

I really like the spectral effect he got on some of his miniatures!

"Imzig Male Spacer (spare parts custom)

Spacers of all species traverse the dark void plying their trades, often stopping at spaceport cantinas for a little refreshment and company before heading back out into the black again."

We perhaps know Dan as always filling us in on all the new stuff out there for us to find, but he is one amazing customizer too!

Chuckles shares a new custom...
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, November 6 2019
"I still have a bunch of back-catalog to share, but this one is BRAND NEW this morning!

Ebay seller Tunghori recently had Que-Mars Redat in his shop for only 20 bucks and I've been wanting to use that head for awhile! The rest of these parts came out of the parts bin, and I think it turned out pretty damn good! Also included an in-the-works pic this time (decided against the red wrap). The leg camo and boots got some paint to darken, the shoulders and chest now match, and neck had to be painted. All that paint on the chest meant I had to repaint the necklace to fix paint issues.

I might have to weather this one a bit more, but was excited to share something new this morning..."

Looks good to me!

Here's the link. They're just natural wood sticks, cut to 5". I got 400 of these and 100 of the 4".

I and another forum member were very curious where he got such authentic looking sticks that were very straight. Talk about great material to make wood and traditional looking structures!



Darth More and Chuckles show us their work areas...
-- Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, November 5 2019
From Darth More:

"This picture is for Chuckles and everyone who likes to see other workbenches and places of inspiration. I'm currently working on finishing projects I've started back in 2016! I just removed newspapers from back then from the table, which I got from IKEA for about 80€ (15€ for each leg, 20€ for the plate).

From Chuckles:

"There are a few projects in view, but probably no spoilers. Here's a shot of my workbench.

The garage workbench had budget priority so I do have a nice space for larger projects (with a nearby beer-fridge) out in the garage, but it can be cold, or hot in the garage, and I sometimes have to compete for space with my wife's crafty projects.Next thing the garage needs is a spray booth for airbrushing."

I really like seeing folks' workspaces.






Hasbro sends clarification for Barcelona Manga reveals...
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, November 4 2019
"I’m following up today to share a quick update on the Hasbro Barcelona Manga reveals we shared with you over the weekend. There was a slight error in The Black Series Force FX Lightsaber and the correct product name can be found below.

(HASBRO/Ages 14 & up/Available: Spring 2020)"



Chuckles shares a few more...
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, November 4 2019
"Here are a couple fun and easy head-swap customs.

A Marauder head, and I don't remember where the replacement belt and cloak came from make this Anya Kuro (The Dark Woman) comic book custom. (Really easy head-swap just fit.)

And a just-for-fun Duro general. (Inspired by Gar Stazi from the Legacy comics.)
(Had to cut off the old style neck-peg, and dremel into the head to make it sit on the new style chest-mounted neck ball joint.)"

Sometimes is ain't about complexity, just what looks good as Chuckles shows here! Also, be sure to check out Chuckle's work spaces. I like seeing where folks work their magic.




Starchaser gives us some new customs...
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, November 4 2019
"Couple of new customs:

One, a simple head swap:
Bae Geer: A Gran from the colony world of Hok (the home of another small and highly dexterous Gran - Mawhonic) , Bae is a brilliant electrician and technician.

and Judder Page (there is a great write up on him on Wookieepedia): I opted to make him in recon mode (dressed as a technician), but will probably add a commando body as well."

I like the look of both!

JDeck continues his Ewok Dio...
-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, November 4 2019
"I started working on the main floor. I just hot glued the sticks to the piece of foam core. From the set references, it looks like they used some kind of mud on the wood flooring, I guess to blend and fill in gaps. So I made up a mud mixture made of water, spackle, leftover homemade dirt, from my l'ameu diorama, and some black/grey paint. I slathered it around. It's still wet as of now. We'll see how it looks when it dries. It's great because the figures will be able to stand better."

Talk about realistic!

Ron Hembling completes his Batmobile...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, November 3 2019
"Hi All,

The Batmobile is completed.

Recipe.

I firstly unscrewed the car and then sanded area's that needed it and I built the controls, steering grip, seat and the area behind the seat using plastic card.Once all the controls and greeblies were added I sprayed the car using Rust - Oleum Matt Black and once dry gave the whole car a light dry brush of a 50/50 mix of Vallejo's Silver/Matt black to highlight the recesses and also painted the rims and engine thruster at the back of the car.

I then used Vallejo's Flat Red, Light Green and Medium Blue for the buttons and switches. The computer screen above the steering grip is a map with the green being the road and the red being the blocks and the two white colour dots are villain's and the black dot is the Batmobile.

Ron"

Yeah, this looks tough. I can't even imagine how cool his Batcave Dio is gonna look with this in it!



Chuckles shares his POTF2 Custom...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, November 3 2019
"Here's one of my oldest! This figure has to be 18 or 19 years old! I swapped Tarkin's lower body with a POTF2 Motti to give POTF2 Tarkin a better "skirt". This is STILL my go-to Tarkin figure because I missed the 2012 Vintage Collection Tarkin (the prequel Tarkin is crap), and I can't afford an aftermarket 2012 Vintage one."

I keep thinking Hasbro will re-release that one, but we haven't seen it yet. Good custom though.
