Oh pix will come on the 30th! But until then all I can say is that she is badass and will certainly look the part. So far I've dumped about $130 into her and that is not including parts I HAD already OR the body. So yeah... she'll be sick.
Damn, $130:google

Now I'm really intrigued!!

Yeah... a ton of stuff... various clothing, weapons... all kinds of cool stuff from all types of eras and figure companies... It is gonna rule when it's all said and done. I cannot wait to put it all together.

The body is almost all repainted and ready to go.... ::D

Damn! I just realized I have to get mine done by the 25th or so since I still live in the stone age and use film instead of digital.

Yeah, sadly it's the only body I have for a female figure... so it will have to do. But thankfully I have a plan to make it work. :rock


My figure glorifies the Buck body. Hopefully the anti-Buck people willstill dig her.

Les, do you think i should submit pics to Darklord Dave so that I have his leave to post toy nudity?

EDIT: I went ahead and submitted pics to Dave. He approved her as long as she stays in the customs forum. And he had some suggestions as to what I should do with her bottom! :horror

Is it the 30th yet?!??!?

I want to see pictures!!

Patience is a virtue my King!
:D
And in this case...well worth the wait! Imagine ALL these revealed in that one day! There'll be nothing else like it.

You can make it....WE can make it...
Stay the course guys! :rock
 
Any new attempters over the weekend?
Hope we see even more than the list so far! :D
Still got all kinds of time to be creative in this.
 
Count me in, Les.

I found a female figure on clearance over the weekend, it will actually be the only part that I have purchased for this project. All of the other parts I'm using are all from my parts boxes and I'm using some very odd parts! It's about 60% finished now & let me say that it is definitely one of the strangest projects I've ever done (and I've done some strange ones!).

I hope I'm helping to build up some suspense here, but I don't think you guys are really ready for what I'm cooking up.:maul
 
I'm adding a three-way work to the mix. My wife, my mother, and I all worked on this second one, which will be very different from my first entry.

I thought about what you said about making any second figure part of a "series" of figures, but I really don't want to repeat myself on this one. Takes the fun out of it. I suppose you could conceive of a storyline encompassing both characters, but I think the difference will be refreshing!
 
I'm having a hard time securing a head.

What are some good base heads? Anyone have a buck female head for sale?
 
Sorry Xander, I sure don't. But there are some good ones on Ebay all the time. Look under custom 1/6 or 12" customs.

Die, glad to have you aboard dude! Can't wait!

And Mikey, better make sure you decide which one is your primary submission. Otherwise, looks like there will be ten from you before the week is out! :lol Glad to know the creative juices are flowing though!

I may, repeat, may, get a second one off, but doubtful. Maybe....
We'll see.

Glad to see such enthusiasm. Somebody help Xander out! He needs parts.
Good luck dude!

Added:
Yeah, the more I think about it, we had each better post our primary figure labeled as such, because at least each person entering will have one to show for sure.
You know, to be fair, and to keep from muddying up the entries. Then, if you do make more than one, submit it either with your primary, in photos, as a sidekick or comparison type figure, or, as a secondary and so on. So, at least everyone has one good one to be commented on.
It never occured to me that we might have several multiple submissions in play.
 
A little more about the submissions and what will happen on June 30th...

At midday on June 29th, for those in Australia and other locales that will be timewise, ahead of us US and other members, I will post a thread for posting submission photos only, NO COMMENTS will be allowed in that thread, so each member can submit their pictures in there without confusion. Then, the next member will post their's and so on. With no comments between to muddy things up.

Then, at the same time, I will post another thread, related to this photo one, that is for submission comments only. It can quote, and use pics from the submission thread, but is for everyone to comment only. And, when commenting, please use only one photo from the submission thread as your example, if at all.
As for the submission thread, you can post up to the ten photo per post limit, TOTAL! No more. No extra posts. That is why there has to be a PRIMARY and an so on, of each person's figures, or there will be so many that it will get lost. It may work out to have each submission as a primary, with each having ten shots, but then, some might run pages long. If anyone is against the notion of the primary/secondary idea, let me know, and it can be discussed. I just hope we have one good one from each entrant.

Does this make sense? Two threads, one for pics (and descriptions, backstories, recipes, where you got what, etc., ) only, and one for comments, only.
They will be clearly labeled on that day. Something like, Summer 2007 Sideshow Freaks Female Customs Figure Challenge Submissions Thread & Summer 2007 Female Custom Figure Challenge Comment Thread, something like that.

Any comments or questions, say so here. I do know this format works, as it has been used to great effect on other sites. It is much easier to go back and forth, and look and comment, than it is to search through a growing mass of comments to find someone's figure. :lol

Anyway, more to come on this as it develops. :D

This is my first attempt at sculpting a female and damn is it tough!
Yes they are Anzik! I have sculpted a few, and always have a lot to answer for when I am done! :lol I look forward to seeing your's though. You think you'll have her ready? Sure hope so. Would love to see her.
 
How are we doing folks? Two weeks to the eve....or the day, if you are on the other side of the world....
Hope everyone is having some fun.


No comments to the last post? (actually, two posts back)
OK. Then I propose this...why not limit the number of total photos, for each entry to like Five photos. Then, anyone with multiple submissions, can post them each separately, and it won't run on forever. Five good clean shots each. That is the challenge also to get five that tell your visual story.

Then list some description of how you made her, who she is, if that is not apparant, and a breakdown of parts recipe sort of thing. Even where you got the parts if possible, vendorwise, so if anyone else has a hankering to get some parts, or how you did it....something like that. Just some thoughts.

Oh, might be good to list what you altered, repainted, etc. Not too wordy overall, but enough info so we don't have to guess too much and ask too many making of questions in our comments. Think along those lines as you conjure.

Or, leave some as mystery if you want. It's all in fun.

Hope everyone is doing well so far with this. Can't wait for unveiling day!
