"We recently received a really awesome gift box in the mail from our good friend and fellow artist Peak-OB1 Custom Creations that included an amazingly cool green resin print of Mother Talzin's Sword that inspired the below custom. We had a spare Morgan Elsbeth TVC action figure on an extremely damaged card (Thanks to Amazon's horrible practice of shipping collectibles in paper envelopes! WTH!). All we had to was break out our paintbrushes and get crackin'!
I based her face, neck, and hands in Reaper's Elf Flesh paint, and then used Caucasian Flesh as a medium tone. I generously highlighted with Maiden Flesh to give her that pale Nightsister look. I painted her tattoos with Reaper's Ashen brown, and mixed in some black to make the shaded areas pop.

"Wow, what an in-depth project. So many parts needed as there's not a good way to cast a lot of it together. Even then the front sight is 3D printed due to a crazy shape. Around 40 pieces but easy to assembly. I'd say minus painting, I did my second one in less than an hour. I designed this well. Comes with instructions and decals.
While working on the E-11, I figured I may as well do the Dh-17 at the same time as they share a lot of parts. Really happy with how it came out. Easy to assemble and comes with instructions. Chose between two scope designs
This just seems fantastic folks; both for the price and ease of assembly.

She was a slave-turned-Sith that fought her way up the Sith Empire's ranks with the help of dead Sith Lords. This is my last of 8 character classes in Star Wars: The Old Republic. This was probably the most hours I have ever put into a custom figure. It was really hard to get the hair and face right. I restarted SO many times 😅
- sculpted hair, facial scarring, top, and bracers
- painted the entire figure
- added a softgoods skirt
- sealed with Krylon matte spray (first time posting a figure I've done this on)
I need to get my 8 SWTOR characters together in a group shot sometime soon."
She looks spot on with his reference image.

This piece is 47” x 90”, the road is made from 10mm foam board and the pavements are 6 mm. Last night I cut the pieces and scored in the pavement flags and curbs. At the moment I am waiting for the glue to dry as I’ve glued the pavements to the roads and later this afternoon I will be adding pavement cracks, potholes etc before applying the first layer of paint."

This digital custom is one of my favorite EU characters. That's no secret and Mungo Baobab has tackled him in AI. He has graciously allowed me to use his AI Art to create my Jaxxon."

Dan reviews Mythic Legions Magic Effects...
--
Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, February 07 2024
These sets come in 2 styles- "Heroic" and "Evil", although, to be honest, all of the effects kind of look "evil" as evil characters like Skeletor often use green colored spells, and the skull and snake spells are hard to consider "heroic".
The spells are all made of translucent plastic and are quite rigid, which should keep them from drooping too much in displays.
They are intended for 7" figures, but I will be using them for 3.75" and 4" figures. I will need to source some clear dowels to support the longer spells when used in dioramas."

"I just placed an order with Skeletron (https://skeletron.com/) for a Gyre Wolf figure to honor the memory of my friend Gary "Goggles" Head! The proceeds go to his family, so go buy one if you want an awesome action figure and to help out the family of a long time member of the collecting community!"
It sure sounds like an awesome cause to me.

With the exteriors finished, I’ve been busy printing and making accessories. I’ve made pallets (which need painting) and trash bags and another oil barrel but thinking of making another couple. For the past couple of days I’ve been printing a street light but the base is a little bigger than I had hoped. I’m just printing off the glass dome for the top and then I can add a led in it."
Couldn't you see a ton of AF Lines using this one!
Raylen creates Luke's Garage...

Posted by Tamer on Monday, February 05 2024
"Luke's Garage. After coming out with the Oil Bath Unit (from Hole in the Ground Productions) I thought I needed some structure to build out the scene. I debated on making the entire round floor but it would have taken up much more shelf real estate and I figure most everything fits within this area. "
I must say this is a pretty nice set.

This trooper appeared in the Revenge of the Sith PS2 videogame. Obi-Wan fights these troopers off as he tries to escape Utapau after Order 66 is issued."
Now that Trooper looks like he could dish out some damage.

"I got the N1 on an ebay auction for half price minus the Din figure. I figured I'd repaint it into a hotrod N1. I decided on red, like a Ferrari, it gives it more contrast than chrome on silver on grey. "
It is great to see him back and with a great new painted ship too.

Be sure to see the two new customs as well. That Toydarian is awesome.

"A More Civilized Time.
For over a thousand generations
the Jedi Knights were the guardians
of peace and justice in the Old
Republic. Before the dark times, before the Empire.
My re-do of the Obi-Wan Kenobi from many years back. This gives a better look at the uniform. After seeing "Star Wars" at 10 years old in 1977 the mysterious statement that Ben told Luke after giving him his father's lightsaber ran wild in my imagination."
Oh yeah, I could see him looking like that.

I’ve been working on the accessories, first I’ve added 2 LED lights, one above each of the doors. I’ve added a double fuse box with wires running to the AC unit, up the wall and disappear behind the building. On the other building a single fuse box with a wire running up the wall and again disappears behind the building. A switch and cable running up towards the garage door."
He is really taking this one to new levels.

I’ve painted the doors buts need to dirty them up and add door handles. Added corrugated cardboard for garage door. Painted the pipes, ac units and windows. Need to add wires and fuse boxes. I have some more accessories to make and paint and I’ve bought a couple of mini desk lights which I’m going to break down and use as lights above each of the two doors."
It just keeps getting better and better.
RCW Creations adds another great diorama update...

Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, January 30 2024
I’ve made a lot of painting progress over the past couple of days. I added a brown wash over the bricks and pavement, and a black wash over the cornerstones. While that was drying, I cut a hole into the foam and glued the rim of the manhole cover.
Today I’ve dry brushed a light brown over the bricks, a light grey over the pavement, cornerstones and the on top of the wall. I sponged a light grey over the road and one of the doors."
This really looks fantastic folks.

I sculpted the hair and cybernetics onto a bald head. Bought some 3D printed trooper parts and fitted it onto the figure. Painted the figure and parts. He has a swappable helmet.
This completes all 4 classes of my Republic side characters: Jedi Consular, Jedi Knight, Trooper, and Smuggler
This is in 3.75 inch scale"
Tell me that dude doesn't look tough!

Almost finished painting the first coats onto the buildings and road, while printing off 6 more window frames.
When the paint is dry I will be adding the washes over all surfaces.
Apologies for the lack of figures in these pictures but paint is still wet "
He is really bringing this one along!
Black Thorne shares a new prop build...

Posted by Tamer on Monday, January 29 2024
"I dont usually have opportunities to work on 1:1 stuff, there is almost no acess to kits here and importing anything to Brazil is no easy task. However, I managed to get a watergun based on the original PKD blaster and made this repaint.
It's not 100% perfect but its close enough to the real thing for my eyes."
This looks fantastic to me!

Ron Hembling shares a new Indiana Jones Diorama...

Posted by Tamer on Tuesday, January 23 2024
Indy - is from Hasbro and I posed him and the glued the joints and puttied them up and painted and weathered him using Vallejo Paints/ Games Workshop Paints and Pastel Chalks.
Base - is MDF foam cut to shape and the stairs/column/floor are also MDF foam cut to size and glued in place, and I then used a piece of sandstone and pushed it into the foam to simulate the stone texture.
The snakes I picked up a bag of 100 from Ebay and the pots and statues are STL files and I resized them using my resin printer, the torch is made using balsa wood and the torch was done using Woodland Scenics Water effects and the sand is fine river sand.

Ron can do magic. He can do anything that he desires!
