I see the Marauder's ride has been released. Is the concensus still that it's too inaccurate to bother with? I'd be tempted if it's some minor fairing customising or something to get it looking right.

Gotta be some of the laziest hair sculpting detail I've seen in recent times. Constipated head sculpt could be useful in some dioramas.

Love this figure. Repainted the hair on my sculpts as I found the stock too dark. Used a metallic green base then layered in other brighter shades of green to give some depth and variation.

Took a bit longer for me to organise this but I was labouring over what radio to shoot Wez in front of. I decided that I’d do this and all future figure shoots in front of a complimentary in design boombox, if possible. I have a very extensive collection of vintage boomboxes and wanted to...

Top rockin, Shells! I finished mine off yesterday and planning on doing some shots today and a complete list of changes I made. Such a GREAT figure. Haha, gotta be an award for worst-ouf-of-box but best-tweaked of 2023!

Nearly done, very pleased with the results so far.

Finished my crossbow, used the top of the original and then scratchbuilt the rest from paper clips, plastic lids, putty, thermal plastic sheet, screws from some eyeglasses (thanks for that suggestion Asta) and some string. Not 1000% accurate, but good enough for me and a lot closer than the...

Got my shoulder pads all done bar the weathering painting. This was time consuming, but really happy with the end effect. This is how they looked before attaching the feather pieces. The puttying was all sanded and smoothed, then the self adhesive layer applied (needed to be tricky to get around...

Here's some early shots of my reworking of the shoulder pads. I was really happy that there was a seam on top of the shoulder to work from, so split them there and then cut away the folded over material to get an even edge. I cut some small strips of thermal plastic sheet (goes very softer under...

I'm hoping to get some pieces completed this weekend but have had some good success in extending the shoulders of the pads up higher. I've come up with a simple technique to get the feathers I bought to get the right shape/scale for the feather boas but currently still working out whether I need...

What did you use to remove the staining, Shells? Marvellous job!

Also a little PSA, be VERY careful with the mohawk as the dye they used for the hair isn't remotely set. This is the unsurprising cause of all the red marks on the head sculpts but be aware it wasn't a stage of manufacturing: it's still very able to stain now. It's very bright magenta and will...

That's why I was talking about trimming the hair. It's way too long for his actual hair cut. But I'm not convinced yet that there's enough hair rooted in to get that exact look.

Great work, Marine Boy! We watched it Mad Max 2 last night and I'm definitely going to make that smoke stack accessory too. Started the planning stages for a new crossbow too, it looks very complicated in the movie but after capping a few scenes from different angles I've got the design down...

Has anyone thought about trimming the mohawk? I do think that'll mean redying the hair red as it's not red nearer the base at all. It shouldn't be as long as it is it, but I'm very aware that it doesn't grow back... and making it look right could be counterproductive as the sweep-back will be...

Have you seen this one? It's like a photo of him It genuinely made me laugh.

Magnificent!! That works great!

Haha, I ordered that set just before I asked the question in there as I wasn't 100% convinced they'd be close. Hopefully they'll do the job.

Ahh indeed it is. Many years of searching lead to landing a boxed one last year for a price that wasn't truly awful.

Anyone got a line on micro nuts and bolts that'll work in 1/6th? Would be nice to add the nut and bolt earring, but I'm considering making a more accurate arm crossbow, based on how very simplified the Marauder's is.
