Photonovels and Movies / Re: Important Announcement

Hopefully the Grand Army of the Republic covers this problem under their insurance plan!
Otherwise getting a custom fit armor for the problem could be very difficult...

Looks like the guy on the right had his head explode after witnessing these tragic events...

Too bad I did not know any of you guys or about these forums when a toy store I used to go to went out of business. They had tons of those there. It was right before I actually started customizing...(They had tons and tons of old figures sold there, but they went out of business, sad as it was a great source of older fodder.)

Very cool Glassman!

This may be a dumb question, however keep in mind I only got back into action figure collecting/customizing actively just prior to summer of 06...
Is the Rykrof head from a previous released figure or a custom sculpt? AOTC Bail Organa?

WM exclusive eh? I am screwed... My local WM has not even got new figures in like the last three months.
They have not carried any exclusives since ROTS came out.

171
Wow! I never knew about this thread...
Well makes sense, as until you posted today Chewie, the prior posts were months before I found the forums and began customizing...
Too bad, as that would have been fun to participate in!

I have been trying since I watched the episode but it keeps telling me its unavailable but other videos play. I tried to watch it literaly a minute after the show was over. It rather annoyed me...

Great episode. Really looking forward to seeing where they take the Baltar situation.

Star Wars Action Figures / Re: Greg's Customs

I dont know about saying Unfortunate... I would go with fortunate if they were still standing after taking that much damage! The droids might start running if that commander kept coming with that gattling blaster after looking that charred... I can hear the Terminator theme music playing...

Good job...definitely looks like severe blast damage!

I am suspecting Starbuck to be one of the final five, not just because of the connection of her painting the "eye of jupiter" but because Katie Sackoff said she was finished filming half way though the season. The producers of the show have indicated someone wont be returning next year as well.
Also a friend of mine heard Katie Sackoff talking on KUFO, a portland oregon radio station. Appearantly the conversation slightly hinted to her not being on the show much longer, though she said she could not answer the question. (Keep in mind the radio station part was not heard by me, so I cannot confirm anything said.)

I was bummed that Lucy Lawless left the show. I was really starting to like her character(s).

I have been checking out the others and love reading them!
Looking at them just made me think again how many figures you have... What is your estimate on how many you have? How many of them get used in photonovels?
I tried before with dial up but being a horribly impatient person I couldnt stand waiting an hour for the page to load...

Ya, every since I had to move back to my home town about four years ago, I had to downgrade to dialup due to budget, but events within last couple weeks improved things enough to include high speed internet in my life again...(and I am so happy!  ;D )

178
I enjoyed the story very much! Great job!
It just occurred to me today, now that I have high speed internet as opposed to the crappy dial up I had for last few years, I can actually look at the photonovels without falling sleep waiting for pages to load. They pop up automatically now!

Here are a few pics (sorry still cannot afford a decent digital camera right now)













Due to all the comments for me to keep the face details the same on the fallout trooper the same, I will do so, but that version will become the Fallout Trooper Commander helmet. I sculpted a helmet that more fit my origional sketches for the fallout trooper over one of my Galactic Marine helmet casts.
I am also fixing my old Airborne helmet to start making it more accurate. So far I have started fixing the areas arround the  "mouth" areas to extend out further like they should and I have added the ridge above the visor. I plan on evening out the details on the sides and smoothing out things alot more.
As for the other helmets, one is a work in progress for a Combine Soldier from Half-Life 2 (I may start from scratch as I think I could do alot better on it) and the other one will probably become a Zero-G clone trooper helmet. I actually sculpted it months ago over a Robotech Bioroid helmet. I dont beleive I ever showed pics as I was not that thrilled with it after I was finished, but the other day I molded and cast it and I think I have changed my mind about it.
Let me know what you think.

By the way still working on sculpting frame work but having problems with my hand molds not working right... so its slowing me down.

Ouch! Well out of my budget right now...
However if I can find a copy to look at long enough at a book store and sketch the details I need down on some paper it might help.
Thanks for the info!
