Happy Noodle Boy - I buy the bases at a shop called Crazy Clints it's a shop where you can get things really cheap or a shop called Lincraft it's a craft and material shop and the bases are actually chip wood.
Cheers
Ron

Ron
While out shopping the other day I picked up a couple of the new SW Scout Troopers for some customizing and decided to keep one to put on a small viginette. The has been superglued at the joints and then the joints have been filled in using Games Workshop greenstuff, the base is from a 2 dollar shop and the plants are plastic fish tank plants and model railway shrubs and sand are from woodland scenics. Once everything dried the figure and base were painted using Vallejo and GW paints.

Star Wars Action Figures / Re: Hemble's Customs- Updated 01/10/06 Superman & SW Figs
« on: October 1, 2006, 05:29 AM »
Well guys guys here is 2 of the SW figs I did while I was away enjoy.
TELIS MEX (Bounty Hunter) & TAD-3 (Tactical Assualt Droid MK-3)
While making Telis I thouht it would be cool to give him some sought of partner I was going to do another human/alien then decided to go with a droid instead as I thought it would look great and I was very happy with the end result especially the combat style of him which took me 2 weeks to get the desired look. As always the figures were painted using Vallejo and Reaper miniature paints.
Telis was part of the Clone Army until the Emporor decided to get other Human volunteers and after about another 2 years in the service he decided to go his own way and become a Bounty Hunter and on his second bounty his when he ran into TAD-3 who was also on the same bounty. So after some deliberation who's bounty it was they decided to take 50% each and after that they become partners.
TAD-3 was originally a Tactical Assualt Droid for the Kaltrimma Empire but when Imperial troopers took over the planet there was no use for him anymore so imperial technians were going to shut him down and 1000's like him. But for some strange reason TAD was aware what was going on and killed the techs and fled the planet and from there he hired himself out as a Bounty Hunter and some years later he and Telis become partners.
RECIPE
Telis
Head- The helmet is from the clone trooper evolution set I added a scope to the right side from the bits ox and also some tubes.
Body- The body is from the AT-AT driver and the legs are from Dannik Jerriko
Equipment-The back pack is from the VOTC Stormtrooper, the blaster is from the Clone trooper evolution sets which was cut down and reglued back together.
TAD-3
Head- The head is from the Evil dead 3-3/4 figure sets I added some tubes and a contol panel which were in my bits box.
Body- The body is from the EP-1 Trade Federation driods.
Arms- The upper part of the arms are from the plastic miniature APE(maruader) figure from Starship Troopers and the right lower arm is from the Trade Federation droid and the left lower arm is parts of rifles I had in the bits box.
Legs- The legs are from the plastic miniature APE(maruader) figure from Starship Troopers.

Hi Guys
Well I'm finally back and it's so good while I was in my unit the wife came down and saw me a few weeks ago and bought all my building materials down with her(damn she's a good girl) but don't tell her I said that.
But I have to wait till I come home so I can add my pics to my site as we don't have computers on base which is a shame as I would've have had pics up weeks ago. I've also done 3 SW figures and will hopefully post them either this afternoon or tomorrow.
When I started making Superman I wanted to give him a gritty looking costume like I did with my Batman figure but also keeping with the original colours and style of the character we all know. For that reason I went for the body I used for my Batman as the it looks like real material and also the main body gives you all the muscle defintion that I belive Superman should have. When he was complete I used Vallejo and Reaper miniature paints.
RECIPE
Body -Marvel's Lengends Black Panther.
Boots - Marvel's Fantastic 4 Mr Fantastic, leather was added to the boots to give it the height
Head - X-men Magneto, I sanded down the hair and added new hair using GamesWork Shop 2 part putty greenstuff.
Chest Emblem - With the emblem I cut out the desired shape from left over leather and hand painted the S onto that.
Belt - The belt is again some left over leather cut to shape and glued in place using super glue
Cape - The cape ia an ols T-shirt I had lying around I dyed it and cut the shape out and superglued that into place.

When I started making Sky Captain I wanted the figure to have that herioc feel of the movie yet still add my own style to him so I decided to give him a little ruggerness by giving the uniform a dirtier look and given the face an unshaven look. The uniform was the hardest thing to make as it is actual cloth and also I wanted again the feel of the movie in it but also wanted that WW2 feel to it as well.
Once all the parts were made or taken from the bits box the figure, clothing and equipment were painted with Reaper Miniatures and Vallejo paints, There was a lot of dry brushing and wash's to get the desired look and feel to this character and I'm really pleased with the way he turned out.
RECIPE
Body - Fantastic 4's Mr Fantastic from the movie.
Legs - The Punisher from the movie.
Head and gloves - Fantastic 4's Mr Fantastic from the movie.
Boots - Marvel legends The Punisher.
Belt, holster and pouches - The holster and pouches are from Plan B Toys and the belt is left over leather.
Flight Jacket - Is from the movie Punisher I cut it at the waist and glued it in certain places to still have movebilitly and the wool area's are static grass(modellers grass) glued in place and painted.
Flight Pants - The pants have been sewn to give the baggy appearance and the zippers are left over leather cut to size and glued in place and painted to simulate zippers
Flight Head Gear - The head gear is made completely from leather I cut it to shape and glued in place over the Mr Fantastic head which was cut and sanded down to get a natuaral fit.
Flight Goggles - Was cut from an old DVD container cover it was cut to size and then cut to the desired shape and the strap is again some left over leather.

Hi Guys
Well here are the last 2 figures that I'll have up until I come back from basic I go in on Tuesday so I'll apologize now if I don't come back and reply to your feedbacks.
And I just want to say that it's been fun and you have all been great friends and you are all going to sorely missed and I will leave a post in my section to let you all knwo how I'm going
so here they are and enjoy and as always comments welcome.
THOR THE THUNDER GOD
Thor was one of the hardest figures that I've had to do as I wanted him to look like the comic character but also look have a look of a Viking warrior so again after a day or two of searching the Internet and a little inspiration from a fellow customizer (glorbes) over on this custom figure site http://www.fwooshnet.com/forum/ I came up with this version of the God Of Thunder. I also wanted his helmet to have a little twist and instead of the wings I gave the helmet a lighting bolt design and kept the flowing fur at the back.
After the figure was put together I painted him using Games Workshop paints, Vallejo miniature paints and Reaper miniature paints, there was some major dry brushing to get the desired colours in the Armour and also in the clothing but I was pleased with the overall look and feel of him. And as always he was given 2 coates of Testors dull coate to seal in the paint and stop any scratch's.
RECIPE
Body - Marvel Legends Wonderman.
Head, Hands- Eomer LOTR The Two Towers.
Forearms and Leg Armour - Eomer LOTR The Two Towers.
Helmet - Eomer LOTR The Two Tower with lighting bolts added which are made from cardboard and brushed over with superglue.
Belt - Marvel Legends Namor with a shoulder pad added to the front from an old LOTR figure.
Tunic and Vest - Cut from leather and glued in place using superglue.
Round metal discs and chain - The discs I got from some old 1/35th scale model parts from the bits box and the chain I picked up from a $2 dollar store.
Hammer - The main part of the hammer was made from balsa wood glued together and sanded to shape the handle is some plasti-card rod cut to size and then wrapped using some old pleather as is the lower handle grip.
Cape - The cape was some left over material which was given a wash and then drybrushed.
CAPTAIN AMERICA VERSION 2.0
When I started making Captain America version 2 I didn't want to go the usual way as in the stripes on the waist and wings on the head but still be able to recognize good Ole Capt.
So I decide to go for a all in blue costume except for the boots and gloves and instead of the blue crotch area I went with a red look in that area. The cowl I decided to change as well I didn't want to have the tiny wings on the cowl or the ears showing so I discarded both of them and decided to have the ears covered and also have the hair sticking out.
Once I got the look I wanted I painted him using Reaper Miniature and Vallejo paints and sealed it all in using Testors Dull coate.
RECIPE
Body - Marvel Legends Wonderman.
Boots - Marvel Legends Cyclops.
Gloves - Marvel's Fantastic 4's Mr Fantastic.
Head - Marvel Legends Angel with sculpted cowl and 1/72 scale King Tiger Front machine gun cover for the ears.
Belt - Marvel Legends Bullseye belt with extras added from the bits box.
Shield - Marvel Legends Captain America I had lying around.
Stars(chest and back) - Some old pieces of leather cut out and glued in place.
