Star Wars Action Figures / Re: Daigo's SW customs and dioramas

Another upgrade tackled recently: Han Endor.  This is Hasbro clothes and head on a Dragon body and military boots from opstoys.com.  I repainted the face and hair, added a little neck (can see the seam unfortunately), tightened up the clothes with hot glue, and added a little more waist thickness with a piece of foamie.

This is a 12" Tarkin upgrade I had made a few months ago, but was unhappy with the face repaint and the Hasbro boots.  I repainted the head again (I was surprised to see how dark Tarkin's hair really is) and replaced the boots with a pair from opstoys.com.  The body is a Dragon doll, but the clothes and head are the Hasbro original.

I too like the headsculpt, although that hair bang looks a bit like a surfing ocean wave!

Saga Collection '06 / Re: Greatest Hits

A greatest hits line seems like a good idea, and then they unveil the poor choices for it.  It should be a line focused on figures that were short-packed or army builders.

Can anyone confirm that Greedo wore a holster belt in the film?  None of the previous versions had him in that kind of belt.

Hope I didn't miss an already created thread, but just wanted to say how cool it was for Jesus to sell me just the OT droids from the EE astromech sets, and at a great price too!  Top marks from this Daigo!

Thanks Brent and everyone else, I appreciate the comments!  The walls are all styrofoam, cut or sculpted, and painted in a plaster.  I used Behr Wall Texture, but Plaster of Paris should work just fine.  The real trick is sanding it down to a nice finish before spray (or hand) painting it.

Thanks guys.  I just finished a Captain Britain- this is his 3rd costume, seen in the later Excalibur days.  I made him from a worthless Omega Red :-*

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: How often do you go to the Dentist?
« on: February 6, 2006, 07:22 PM »
Not nearly as often as recommended and my teeth are the things I'm most self-conscious about.  I've never worn braces, either.  Now, I don't have a disgusting mouth, but it stand some serious improvement.

I am a pisces as well, March 8.  That quote by Deanpaul up there is fairly accurate too!

And my most recent diorama completed was Old Ben's house.  Here are a few of the completed pics; I'll be starting a new dio this week or next.

Thanks for the comments on the cloud car.  I didn't put the windows in, but I may still make some from blister plastic.  The models in the reference pics didn't have them so I thought I'd leave 'em out too :-*.  Here is an Imperial officer made from a Veers body and POTJ troop head, painted black.  The head is not articulated (I didn't have the right dremel attachment to hollow it out!)

I only want R2-A6 and R3-A2, so if somebody wants to split a set?

Check with Red5sixx- he was so cool to sell me just the OT astromechs I wanted.  He might be able to sell you those!

I agree with that.  Plastic molded coats do look better I think (like Chewie's custom up there) but it wouldn't serve much purpose to make Han S.A. if he can't utilize it.  Plus, a trenchcoat is fairly simple; someone like Bib Fortuna is best with the molded plastic since his robes are so intricate.

I also think Greedo was a poor choice.  How much better would a Death Squad Commander or if they wanted to keep it an alien, Ponda Baba, have been?

Modern Classifieds / WTB OT astromechs from EE set

I mentioned this over in the Saga thread, but if anyone is willing to sell any or all of the OT astromechs from the Entertainment Earth set, I'd buy them with interest for the trouble.  Thanks!
