[sithlord13]

love the feet!!!!

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

Great start and yeah the feet are fanchuffintastic mate

 

[elar]

Dengar looks very good! I like it...good work!!

 

[speedyweasel]

Found one thing to make out of one of my sgts

Phase 1 clones ftw!!!!!!!

Way in the back is one of Rex's random troops

and ofcourse Rex and the boys

 

[Filmgeek]

Freaking fantastic! Love the red and the blue in the background! Now you just need a shot doing to quote Dorgs "boy band move"

 

[elar]

Aaaaaah, perfect squad! And red one is really nice!

Thanks man I was hoping that head would work well glad to see it has, as far as the Sgt's yeah you need to get some the hands are great custom fodder, if any one needs a hand or so let me know I'm not gonna use them all and with 3 sgt's and 2 rex's opened up i got tons.

Anyways, Here what all I got worked out on my Dengar hope you likes, enjoys. More pics to come in the next few days

I'm currently putting a Dengar together , so I really like to see someone else's take . Yours is looking pretty darn excellent , so I may have to nick your idea of sculpting the feet ( as the originals are quite poor !) I plan on replacing the chest plate with a cast of the Hasbro Snowtrooper armour as the original piece is way too thick and affects the entire shape of the figure . I reckon Hasbro thought that by making the armour so thick , it would replicate the "less than svelte" phsique of the actor ! ( rather than going to the trouble of re-designing the figure itself) . Keep it up , I'll be watching with great interest . ( Try and come up with some more good ideas I can steal !)

Well I had some free time today and did a little work on my Dengar and well I snapped a few shots for ya, I was going to go with full up Cloth for the head wrap but had to hard a time with it so I decided to do a half and half, half sculpted half cloth. Came out ok I think. I still have some painting to do and the wrap is just on there it aint finalized and still need to work the back pack in, did a little painting on his hasbro gun, if I get an extra SSC Sandies Corpral rifle i'll us that but until then his one should look ok once its done being painted. Enjoy the pics

Can't wait to see some pics of yours, I love seeing other peoples figures, give me ideas lol

 

[Crimsonbob]

Loving your clones man especially the red 1

 

[speedyweasel]

Well pretty much finished up with him just a few minor touch ups but I have to wait on things to get here so in the mean time here some shots i took, I also want to get into some back ground thingys too to display the guys. anyways here they are. Oh and I know he dont wear a pouch I just put a hammer head belt on him till i can square away a proper belt for him and I also have seen picture with a holster attached to his right side thigh armor can anyone confirm please.

Heres my Bounty Hunters. Looking to win an IG-88 soon to add to the group

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

Looks great man!! An as for the holster lots have folks have done different variations as I think there is not enough ref material but I could be wrong. But you can see it a bit in this pic..

[Chakaman]

Looking good. Thats the reference picture I used as well. For the holster on mine, I just seperated the holster from a spare Bespin Luke belt/holster I had. I know its not 100% movie accurate, but I think it looks pretty good.

Looking forward to seeing IG88 mate!

 

[speedyweasel]

Thanks guys, pics good enough for me to get an idea now

Here's a little something I was playin' with just for giggles, I'm not too happy with my weather job on this one and may go back to drawing board. but was a real quicky, anyways wanted to post it anyhow.

 

[elar]

Nice shot, I like pose of solder on left.

 

[TheGent]

Weathering is awesome apart from the bleeding blood - I can't see blood, immediately I'm gonna fai**

 

[speedyweasel]

Thanks Guys for the nice comments


Ok Project Bossk is Officially on, I decided to go with Chaka's idea of using a cheap body to hack up opposed to my own idea of a SS anakin body with removable limbs, It was for the best lol. anyhow I was able to butcher my exsiting Bossk and attach the arms last night, today or tonight I will be working on the legs, now just to get my hands on a GG Bossk head *cough cough Mark* haha, and I'll be all set gonna apply a new sling to exsiting weapon and paint it up nice but other than that should be all in all a fun project

 

[big guy]

Dengar looks great, the clones look smart and Bossk is looking smashing.

 

[thundergod]

I used a Buck for my Bossk and it looks fine . A bonus is the Hasbro head just pops on . Handy for when another head becomes available , (cough ... cough ..( Mark ) ) !

 

[big guy]

I went with the Majestic body of Capt Apollo of BSG fame for my Bossk.

Oh on Dengar reading up on him (he`s on my to do list) he actually does NOT use the MG34, in the film he used the MG42 apparently with the stock removed.
