ripley looks awesome up there , is she safe ?.

Elderly parents. An unexpected remodel. A backlog of work. Thanks for sharing Les! Makes me feel a little better about what I've got going on.

Oh, and don't forget about the Bob casts that you'll be doing.

The first photo reminds me of the show Dexter right before he is about to kill someone .

Man, you have an extensive paint collection there, I wish my workspace was as neat and tidy as yours. I like how the IM figures are up there, wouldn't mind seeing what you did to them

Thanks guys!

Here's the living room as it is now, it was NORMAL just hours ago...

And my newly accessorized work zone...I can put away all work at the end of the day...

At least I have it...

Anyway, back to it...

Great looking workspace Les

Thanks for the information about the custom boxes with Anthony for me Les. A box from him would be a great final touch to my custom Reeve Superman from you! We'll talk about it more between us in e-mails.

I'm very sorry to hear about all of the difficulties lately Les. I have some family, especially "in-laws", that don't understand my fascination with these collectibles. I really think they think that I'm wasting my time and money. I know I am not. So, I can see where you're coming from about not be appreciated. I get that here too sometimes it feels like it is that way. Like I'm the "weird son-in-law" that still loves toys at the age of 37. But, I don't let that razzle me much. I keep pushing on and getting what I can...when I can.

I hope things improve for you soon at home Les. I know it has to be hard with two elderly parents, and then the idiot workers coming in there and disturbing things to fix the ceilings. Hang in there! Take care my friend!

 

[Buttmunch]

Man that sucks Les. Hope all works out for the best in the end. Just think, once they are done with the ceiling, you'll probably get everything back together. And THEN they will call for the piano!

Hang in there buddy!

 

[Les Walker]

Thanks guys. I did get it all moved back in, after the braintrust crew left. They were SUPPOSED to help me move all the furniture back in, but left.
I got the duty, and was tired from the day before, so now, I am tired, and sore from lifting, but maybe, a tad stronger???

Anyway, that job is done. Feeling of extreme invasive annoyance has passed.
Back to paints today and tomorrow and next week.

ripley looks awesome up there , is she safe ?.

Mine is very balanced and is hard to even tip. It is not that precarious a perch, my bookcase top there. It stands VERY steady on it.
Well made toy!

Back to paintin' today and through the week.
Trying to get some of the single heads I was almost done with finished. Like I said, some Rose heads, the entire lot of SHHicks heads are hopefully gonna get done through this coming week, so I can get to other stuff. Having all those waiting so long is driving lots of you nuts, as I can understand. I have received a lot of "Where's my Hicks?" emails, so no fears all you with headless Hicks figures out there. VERY SOON! I am anticipating having them all shipped by the 24th if all goes well. That is by the 24th, so some will be before that. Emails with shipping info will come when I mail them out.
Any Hicks heads with others, Hudsons, etc., will be maybe in the last wave.

Now that I've seen Josh's repaint of Buttmunch's MM Joker, I need to get his done also.

Oh, BIG cool arrival thing! Got a P!TU-Pack from the great P!TU himself! A rocking 12" SS Hellboy that I think he customed! THANKS P!TU! Feedback for that coming bro! And NICE job on that coat! Did you do that?????
He looks wicked! I may do a video soon too. Thanks man.

Anyway, back to it.

 

[tigerfeet]

The Hicks head will be done when its done................

seriously with everything that is going on over there just get round to it when you are ready, people that have ordered will get it when its ready...shouldn't be rushed after all.....

Anyway mine has a head already.......albeit the original one......I am slowly getting heads to replace the ones I have...mind might have to repaint drake and ripley

 

[Buttmunch]

Great to hear you are slowly getting back to the old painting station. And Don't sweat having to get my Joker done so soon. Go ahead and work on him when you are waiting for things to dry or need a break from looking at Hicks.

Here ya go Les, as requested, finally got around to taking some shots of Your Repaint. Love it Bro.

My Custom Sarah, repainted by FML. The "Chett's Auto Parts" jacket patch was painted by DA. I supplied the corduroy sleeves and collar but DA applied them and weathered the jacket. Some of you have already seen this, but not with the repaint... I have complete outfits for Pescadero Sarah, Mexico Desert Sarah and Sniper Sarah now.

Enrique Salceda DESERT SHOTS

 

[uscmhicks]

really really awesome custom man !!!!
Looks one hell of a lot better than sideshows attempt.
Those arms obviously bug the hell outta me but with this effort there nowhere to be seen.
Awesome job !!

 

[pjam]

Thanks. One for Les and Enrique

 

[galactiboy]

Well, I have a Sarah Reg If I need a Final Battle Sarah v Sarah and also a PopSalute Terminatrix for some never before seen girl on girl action.

Here's another shot to show the FML boot repaint. Les also added a scar to her shoulder...

Is this Sarah or is this Sarah! Thanks Les! She's awesome.

More pics posted in the Terminator thread here. Enjoy!

That's awesome Paul! I love working on Paul stuff, because I know that often it will be going towards a joint project with Les... which is always a blast. Too cool to see clothes I worked on, with a fantastic Les repaint. And GREAT shots as well, really does it justice.

 

[morethanatimelord]

thats just fantastic

 

[Darren Carnall]

one day I'll get myself a repaint from Les.... one day, lol

 

[pjam]

Indeed Josh. I would expect nothing less. LOL. Great stuff as always...

One last Close Up. Pics don't do it justice...

 

[The Josh]

Les I really will try to get Faramir mailed this week.

 

[Les Walker]

Les I really will try to get Faramir mailed this week.

Bless your heart! Hang in there J! I'll be here bro. Send when you can. Hope you all are ok with the tornadoes and such!



Thanks Pjam for all that Sarah love! Means a LOT believe me. Knowing you are that happy with her. Thanks man. I really mean it.



Let's see. Been busy. Mom's day was a day with Ma. She broke a toe on her bad foot, (she'd had surgery to "correct" her toes on her left foot and the doctor did a LOUSY job on them, so bad one sticks up and all, and she hit that one, we call it her bird toe...think about it...and broke it.) So she's worried about them having to amputate it and she's a diabetic, and foot problems are scary for diabetics, so that was her Saturday and Sunday. Hence my absence from here for over 24 hours. I was hanging with her mostly. She had an ok Mom's day. I gave her some new stainless steel flatware....

Working like a Trojan on a ton of stuff.
It's all going, but slowly. LOTS of Roses, lots of Hicks and Reeses, some Hudsons, sculpting on that Jack Napier head is going great and should have some images soon...he's coming along, but with all else, in segments....tons of stuff,

And again, emails from some of you that are newer, that don't understand it takes me a while. I am gonna make out a sort of standard "I'm not done yet, but will be soon" email for the newbies and just send that to all who ask of me within the next couple of weeks. Not angry with anyone of course, just frustrated that I can't reach all of you to let you all know I am trying to get it all done. There is just one of me...and you all know it is slow these days...but...PROGRESS! There is progress, so TRUST ME! I will not fail you! None of you. That means YOU! The one sitting there thinking, "Yeah, he said that last time!" Yeah! YOU! I got ya covered! Your's is coming too!

Anyway...I hope to have actual images soon. What a concept! New stuff painted by me! It will be soon I promise.
So anyway, thanks again Pjam and all you guys.

Oh, mailed yet more stuff off today. Zoomaround, your Blade is on the way! Thanks! I hope the wait didn't wear off any adorable qualities I may have gathered over this time by making you wait....

So, more soon. I PROMISE! Gotta clear out my photobucket and start stuff in the gallery here...soon....

MORE TO COME!
