    PREMIER TOYS 1/6 Leader of Marauders (The Humungus)

    This should make it easy. Just print one copy on thick card stock, and cut out the dark brown background from that. Then print another copy on thinner card stock, and cut out the tan matte from that. Then print a third copy on regular paper, and cut out the photograph from that. Paste them all...

    PREMIER TOYS 1/6 Leader of Marauders (The Humungus)

    I'm working on restoring the original photo inside his gun case to replace the inaccurate photo accessory item. The final version that I will eventually post here will have all obstructing objects and shadows removed, and I'll try to restore natural lighting to make it as accurate as possible...

    PREMIER TOYS 1/6 Leader of Marauders (The Humungus)

    I bought these on eBay for $30. Their shape is right, the eyelets, the tongues, the heels, and the flat rubber soles. An excellent match to the film. I just need to replace the laces with some thicker hemp twine, wrap it around near the top, and do some weathering.

    PREMIER TOYS 1/6 Leader of Marauders (The Humungus)

    Instantly bought. The various issues don't bother me; I'll mod them to be accurate. It's funny- I've been planning a custom-made Humungus for years. I talked to Jon at FMC about making a metal mask for me. Now I have a reason to pay him to actually do it, with some other custom metal items, such...

    Executive Replicas 2001 Space Odyssey Astronauts

    The prototype headset is almost finished, and I think it looks great! Just a few more details, ear padding, some polishing and some paint. After the prototype is totally finished, then the artist can tell me the final cost for each headset. After that, I will start asking for pre-order payments...

    The metal artist has started making the prototype for the Haywood Floyd headsets. After he is finished and ships it to me, then I will show photos and ask buyers to pre-pay. I don't know the price yet, because the artist needs to make one prototype first, then he will know the hours of labor...

    Executive Replicas 2001 Space Odyssey Astronauts

    A very thin application of Elmer's Glue actually sounds like a good idea to me. When it's that thin, it would remain flexible, and it dries almost clear. Fabric glue is extremely thick and gooey and hard to handle, especially with very small amounts applied to very small places.

    1/6 Premier Toys - The Marauder (Mad Max 2 Wez)

    The stock feathers are ridiculous. They're actually single strands of ostrich feather which is a common crafting material, but they should have tried another solution. I suppose they chose ostrich so they could say, "Hey! We used REAL feathers!" At first I was at a loss to find realistic...

    1/6 Premier Toys - The Marauder (Mad Max 2 Wez)

    The eyes look really good, I'll be happy to see the new hair color too. After more research, I find that all of the upper body armor needs to be rebuilt from scratch. The stock half-shirt isn't accurate. Instead, there should be a layer of dark grey padding in its place. There are no sleeves...

    1/6 Premier Toys - The Marauder (Mad Max 2 Wez)

    I fabricated a metal hexagonal nut and a bolt for Wez's ear ring. Piercing his ear was the easiest way to install it.

    1/6 Premier Toys - The Marauder (Mad Max 2 Wez)

    Upon further analysis, I discovered that the metallic shoulder guard on Wez's costume is too small. Fortunately, I sculpted and made a mold for a similar guard for my custom Max figure a few years ago. Maybe some of you didn't realize it, but the guard on Max's shoulder is exactly the same as...

    1/6 Premier Toys - The Marauder (Mad Max 2 Wez)

    Sorry about the cat hair in the first pic... and the bolt shaft looks white due to flash photography, but it's actually aluminum paint. You can see how much extra length was removed to be film-accurate. And the black 'feathers' started out twice as long as in the photo. I trimmed them then tied...

    1/6 Premier Toys - The Marauder (Mad Max 2 Wez)

    I received my 'Marauder' today. A quick review, and some fixes I did / will do for accuracy: The first and only really big problem is 1) the black feathers around the neck. Out of the box, they are more than twice as long as they should be, and they all stick straight out as if Wez is getting a...

    Send an email to the address in the message I posted, and tell ER that you're interested. The more emails they get, the more priority they will place on getting this done above other projects.

    Jazzinc 1/6 Batman 1989 Batmobile

    The nose is gunmetal, but it's not that simple. The nose's paint is is highly polished, so it's able to reflect the black that immediately surrounds it. That means it has the appearance of being darker than it actually is. At 1:6 scale, it might be a lot harder to give the nose a paint...
