Here's my completed Mr. Barlow from Salem's Lot, with a just amazing head sculpted by (coincidentally) Mr. Barlow from here on these very boards if you want one.
Barlow has long been my favorite media vampire since I first watched the original mini-series, and the scariest. I wish vampires were that scary again!

A few test shots for my Supernatural tv show/Dawn of the Dead-esque mall diorama I am working on.
Zombies need victims, or it's just not a cool diorama!
Battle-ravaged zombies!
Custom made t-shirts for detailing my zombies! Sweeeet!

Hey, thanks Ron! I appreciate it!
I'm still tinkering around with Boys costumes which is why I haven't officially posted anything yet. Deans jeans are too baggy and drive me nuts, even though they look gorgeously faded by Sat Toys, and I am using an army shirt for Sam, when it should be a jacket. I don't know if you can tell that I cheated or if it looks alright. What do you think? I'm leaning towards letting it slide.
Here's shot of them from that same group of test photos. I spot mistakes clearer when I photograph them, and I was testing how reflective the floor tiles and mall directory sign I wanted to use were.
Note the custom Spinal Tap shirt I got Dean in. TAP Rulez!!!!!
Maybe Chris will make them someday to give us a better Dean?

Leela
Alright, at long last here is my Leela custom. Wow, this one took forever to finish. You'd think it was pretty straight forward. One Leela head I commissioned from Ada earlier in the year plus one fantasticly detailed costume from Vikki--- bada-bing! Done. But alas, fate is not kind and it wasn't that simple.
Although the Ada head was commissioned to fit a Cygirl body, it doesn't. Leela's sculpted hair must have moved when Ada removed it from the doll she sculpted it on because the position of the hair actually prevents the head from reaching the neck stem. Once you shave the ends of the hair down so it can reach the neck, you realize the head sits far too high on the neck and leaving it that way would make Leela look giraffe-necked.
I decided the best course of action was to just shave her neck down a bit (better than shaving the hair and risk ruining the heads look). I think it helped tremendously. I put Leela on a hispanic BBI body because I wanted her kinda tan, it was only $15.95 and I was very happy when it arrived to learn it also came with an alternate flat chest to replace the large bossum chest plate that came attatched to it, since the flat chest would be way more accurate.
I Apoxied the small gap between the head and the neck to make it look seamless. The discoloration you see by her neck is me not having found a color to match the dolls body yet as I tried to paint the Apoxie flesh color.
I made the crossbow arrow quiver and knife sheath out of craft foam and painted it. Her costumes Janus Thorn pouch came from a GI Joe in my junk bin.
I broke the f@@k out of my Predator taking the pics here, because he fell over right on his face and a tooth broke off, as did his cool-ass tooth bead.
I am NOT a happy camper right now.
Ada's Leela sculpt is actually pretty nice otherwise, particularly once painted up in that 70's way Louise Jameson make-up was in character, which was pretty distinctive.
VikkiTx did another incredible job sewing up and detailing Leela's costume. I've always drooled over her Leela outfit/custom on her site for years so I am giddy finally having one. She did a terrific job painting the loincloth before she sewed it making it just the right color.
I kinda want to dirty up the boots but I am waaaaay to much of a sissy and am afraid of accidentally ruining them so I'm leaving them alone.

Thank you very much everyone for your comments.
Thank you Russ (though I think you're biased!
), Drew, Ron, and CrimsonBob.Drew, my goal is to finish the shopping mall diorama up by summer. (We'll see!).
So, you know, oddly enough, no one EVER comments on my torso zombie victim getting his intestines pulled out (laugh). I think it looks amazing (for my ability, anyways). Too sick for everyone's tastes outside of a horror thread?
Cause I have plans for a 1:6 "Doctor Who" Cyberman-conversion chamber someday that's gonna make the Zombie mall look like a scene from Mary Poppins! Maybe he just wasn't gross enough? That must be it. I'll just need to work on topping him before I finish that mall!

Thanks Brendan!
You Know, I didn't really have the jones at all to buy those Shawn figures even though I own the movie.
I have enough monster hunters between The Doctor, Kolchak, the Winchester bros, and soon Hellboy and Milla to keep my zombie diorama interesting anyways.

Brilliant, the Russel looks spot on. Damn, have to watch the show this evening now, thanks. Have never seen a more intricate & complete representation of the Aliens set pieces WOW. In a word, inspirational!

Digging my way out!
Great Russell! You have me wanting to see that movie also.

Thanks Joey! Thanks Les (and welcome back!).
I've been working on a my own THING to go with him that has grown so gigantic and long because I keep throwing stuff growing out of him onto it I don't know where the heck I'm going to put it once it's done! I hope to get it finished in a month or so because that's been such a looooong lingering project.
One of my other long lingering projects is finishing that first level of my 1:6 space station, which is another goal. The face hugger chambers look pretty sweet, but none of the rest of that diorama is really done yet.
I think this year will be "the year of finishing last years projects" (laugh), though for me, I really did crank out a LOT of customs in 2008 after taking a break for a long while, so I should be proud of that.

"Brain of MORBIUS" creature from Doctor Who
Here is the 1:6 Morbius Creature I made for Vikki in trade for some of the amazingly amazing costumes she's sewn for me. He's made out of Apoxie over a Joe body and has a ton of articulation still. He weighs like 90 pounds, geez! The dome was a major challenge and took me a while to get it to work as I tried different variations. The scars look really cartoonish in these pics so I'll be redoing them (they don't look as garish in person). I also made her a Morbius bust as an accessory and "Morbius' brain in a jar" I still need to buy a fishtank pump for to make it bubble.

I've been repainting my Second Doctor head a few more times as I've tried to incorporate a few new experimental techniques. Here's how he looks now, which is a fair sight better than he looked on my first attempt (costume by Vikki, suspenders my me).
I also repainted up my Cybercontroller to the cooler black "Christmas Invasion" color scheme, but ideally I still need to paint his brain pink like it was in the ep, (but I don't think I can get into the clear brain case without totally breaking it.)

I love this pic! a classic Troughton pose!
The new paintjob on the head is great too,and with Vikki's attire (plus your suspenders) I think that 2nd Doctor figure is as good as anything a big company could come up with.
Nice work on the Morbius Monster as well. Does it have any balance issues with it weighing so much?
