...yeah that Sith speeder looks cool....I think I need to get my hands on one of these....

Weathering looks good too...one suggestion though...use some pastel chalks or diluted black paint and give it a wash...the color will settle in those cracks and will give you some depth....
Those scratches are well done!!!
 
Can I ask you what colours you used Dorgs ? Is it from a can or did you mix your own colours and use the windy-brush ? The thing that's stopped me jumping in and painting mine is the fact that I could never decide on the colour . The reference I have makes it look very dark , almost a gun-metal grey , whereas on screen it looks different again !
 
The Hellboy is a great figure... what's wrong with his shoulder? Was it broken before you got it, or was it a posing mishap?
 
I will have a look at what paints I used Tgod, but I had to mix em, liken you say it's really hard to find a picture that gives you a really good idea. There are quite a few but they all look slighty different.

As for the hell boy shoulder Gboy, I knew it was broken when I bought it, I basically got it for a really good price £90 including postage, I just could not justify the price of a new one at nearly £180+.



 
LOL...... there are alternatives to Hasbro and Sideshow Scout Troopers...... aren't there Bill!!!!!!!

:lol I must have missed this post, I stand corrected, I just didn't want to get any bodies hopes up too early.:panic:

Plus as a bonus I have another reason to say " Who needs Sideshow", again, because I just love to say that even though I spend far to much time looking for SS figures to buy.:slap
 
Squeezed in some more time on the sith speeder today to...
So well I guess its done!! I made a little sticker for the control panel to as it looks pants with out it.

Now off for my sponge bath and afternoon nap :)

Cheers chaps.

I did the control panel ages ago for Lopie I think. He made the best sith speeder I have ever seen.

Heres a few more.

:)

Looks great Dorgs.I like the control panel too.Maul's speeder is just another example of a hasbro release that has the potential of looking great with proper paint apps.
 
Great work Dorgs , I'm definately going to dig mine out and spruce it up as my next project , only ........now bear in mind I love Maul as much as the next guy .........and the Speeder is a great design .........and the two together with the Probe Droids will make a cool display , but I can't help thinking that in a couple of the pics , well , how do I put it.......Maul looks like he's waiting for Mummy Maul to give him a pound for the ride !:rotfl

Oh and while I'm at it what's all this about ? Come on , spill the beans !
 
LOL I was thinking of casting up Biker scout armor. Bill will make the under garments and all folks would need it a pair of german marching boots and a can of white spray.

I think I could make the armour for about £35 maybe less. The commandos are really expensive as the busts had to me bought and there were so many different parts that it cost a bomb in silicon.

in fact (dont tell the mrs) but the whole project cost more than a bomb!! way more!!! LOL
 
OW my days... I have just added up all the bills and stuff for the commando project!! Chuffin nurse... now I know why I am so broke LOL.

 
and how, exactly, do you know how much bombs cost? :horror

if I've ever said anything that hurt your feelings, I regret it now! :lol
 
Lol just make sure that when U get your next parcel from me...... It's not ticking Lol


if you were really high-tech, I would hear it beeping like this:

<object width="507" height="300"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/6nvKN_H4e-I&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/6nvKN_H4e-I&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="507" height="300"></embed></object>

:lol

Dorgs are you Inc a biker scout helm in that armour?
If so will it be the tomy?
 
Not 100% sure atm.
I am not sure about the tomy helm as its is a little small... and with the shrinkage that occurs durring mould making. Also it would require more moulds and more complex casting... I was hoping to produce them so cheap that every one could afford them, unlike the £120-£140 I have had to charge for the commandos.....

The final total to make 19 commandos, buy the busts, resin, silicon came to just over £900.... LOL I have no idea where I got the money from, I think I must have been sleep robbing again...

I really want to be able to sell the scout armour and helm for between £30 and £40 or less if I can.
