Hey Pitu, nice job on scoring a Hicks, your collection is kick ass man!!

Speaking of Hicks, I thought Id post some work-in-progress pics of a uscm headset I am scratchbuilding for my figure.



Its made from a couple of paperclips, plastic and modeling putty based on a template I made in photoshop. I still have details to add and I wont actually finish it till I get a replacement headsculpt since the headband needs to be made to measure.

I want to display my figures like they were in the final face off against the aliens in Operations and I always thought Hicks looked cool with the headset. I was dissappointed when I first learned that Hicks didnt come with a headset so thought Id have a go at making one myself. I'l post more pics when its completed.
 
Love the headset STENDEC. You rock Bro!

And some test shots here. Marines fully geared awaiting the arrival of the Warrior on their new SL3 grid floor base, props to FACEBOX for the heads up. Apone's armor was detailed by moi. mostly silver pen detailing and some light sanding but it came out great. I actually have his humongous flamethrower slung over his shoulder. More pics to come.

The grid floor comes in three panels so you can move them around. I believe there is enough room to include the nasty beast on the floor so.. ETA 48 hrs for that!

Paul, fantastic work on setting them all up, between the style Les' painted Drake's eyes with, and the way you positioned the group, they all look like they're in defensive mind frame to take out something coming from the right corner, your toys are coming alive dude!

Kick ass! I've thought about making a head set for may Hicks too, just have to swap the head out.

Thanks Sean, coming from YOU that means A LOT. Yeah, just test shots here, may have to lay a darker surface below the floor or even prop it up a bit. I may also give it a chrome frost spray and someday do a drybrush on it as Wor-Gar recommended. The panels are about 11" wide and layed length wise are about 30" long. With that config you get 2 -3 marines across (depending on how you pose them) and plenty of room for some Warrior action. The grid floor also works for some Rip and Hicks stuff as well as the infamous "Not bad for a human" pose with Rip and Bish... and of course the PL and Queenie. If I do a Rip Bish pose I may ask for a little MF PS help to work his PS'd severed body into the image... :D:cool:

I was really happy with how Apone turned out, had to rebuild his neck ball joint to hold his head better and now I can do a lot more with him, that resin head is heavy and was a bit top heavy before so it looks and works completely different now. :D

And of course it will all be set up for night display with a "Lesterized" Warrior, Hurricane light up shoulder lamps and even a light up Motion tracker, gonna be VERY sick when done.

Now all you need is a Hived wall with cocooned victims :lol
 
Wow pjam! I'm blown away...again! :eek :D Great shot of your marines all "saddled up" and ready to rock! I will take a picture of my marines like that soon. I just wanna get in a better jumpsuit from War-Toys.com for my Bishop (the Gameitoy GSG-9), and finish painting my Cronohead I got from Les for my Hudson. I hope to get the working shoulder lamps from Hurricane someday soon.

Nice work on that custom headset for Hicks there PROWL! :D

Could you explain to us how you made it? I would like to give it a try and make one for my Hicks, and maybe even one for Bishop too. Post the "how to" make it on this thread if you will. Thanks!
 
Insane Paul! Just INsane! :rock
Great set!
And love that floor! Got to get me some of that too!

the head set is STENDEC's not mine, I haven't done any thing with my Hick's, I just quoted STENDEC's post.
 
My mistake....sorry. :eek: Great work on your custom headset STENDEC. I'd like to make one for my Hicks and custom Bishop. Can you tell us how you made it? I know you've said what you used to make it already. Thanks! :D
