Find some random jeans and dye them white. Get a plain white t-shirt and get Corrose or Evilface to do a transfer. BAM!

Yup! That's what I was planning on. I just need the head before I start the project. I don't want to go through Q on eBay as that dude is obviously a crook, so till I find a seller I'm in a holding pattern.

It's when Walt's goatee was pretty short, but that's okay.

I'd like to do the little size sticker on there too.

That looks really good!

Thanks! It is my first custom in a long time. Feels good to get back in it.

Did someone do a run of those shirts?

No, not that I've ever seen, but like Sam said, get a white T, dye it brown and have Corose or EF make a transfer.

From what I gather, supposedly Trevor plans on getting more involved with the forums in the future (he is currently collaborating with Denny Kim on the Man with No Name), and at that point, there is a possibility he will offer older sculpts up for sale again. I think he's trying to get someone on board to act as a go-between for his business. Q really seemed to sour him on things, but I hope he does this. He is so great for the custom community.

And to Josh's point, it is so subjective. I'm at the point where I would probably offload all my statues if it were easy to do. They just don't have an appeal to me anymore, despite their size, in relation to the attraction that 1/6 articulated figures give. But. . .

I hope he comes back for the talent that he has if nothing else. Seeing him bring things to life is pretty damn cool. He's done a few pieces for The Lord of the Rings which are very impressive to say the least.

Totally agreed. I like the 1:6th stuff I have but I love my statues for my Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit more. Its all part of what makes this place interesting.

I've never really been into custom figure collecting myself, but I can understand the draw. I'm a pretty mainstream collector, but there are a few Resident Evil characters I wish I could make here and there. Maybe the girl from Predators too.

I'm right with you on the statues. There are quite a few pieces I wouldn't mind unloading, but shipping them kind of freaks me out. I don't know what I'd do if the Predator maquette or Thor PF got damaged in transit. I'm a 1/6 collector first and foremost as they bring me the most joy. The only statues I really want to collect there days are the Dinosauria pieces.

Yum. I'd like to tie up her AT-AT.

They also do stuff for The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.

Oh ****, that is exciting!

I can't wait to graduate and still be unemployed so I'll have plenty of time to get cracking on R2's dome finally!

It's my DROID in a box

My DROID in a box babe

It's my DROID in a box

Ooh, my DROID in a box girl

That made me

So sad to hear about Richard LeParmentier. I met him at a con a few years back and he was just so cool. He also loved working with the 501st.

"Where's my ****ing nickel?"

Anyone ever hear that story?

She could even turn fury out wearing Artoo like that!

That picture makes me think bad thoughts.

That's a lot of money for a 12-inch figure. Use that money and buy my Goon drawing.

Goon drawing? As in Eric Powell's Goon????????

I've wanted that damn 3PO card for years. Gotta cave someday.

Is that card real or just a photo shop card

Yessir.

 

[MadCow]

Yessir.

Oh.... My..... God.....

Is that a print our an actual drawing? I love The Goon and anything Powell does. Have been collecting anything of his I can find for years.

re: (galactiboy's Cantina) "Where everybody knows your name..."

It's an original pencil and ink drawing.

 

[MadCow]

It's an original pencil and ink drawing.

I am officially more jealous of that than anything SW you own. Bravo, very impressive sir.

I have a quick Goon and Franky sketch inside my Chinatown HC but that's it. Someday I'd love a piece like that.
