With all of the high-tech activity on Endor it was only a matter of time before the Ewoks started getting ideas of their own.
I've also started using Instagram to upload a few little things. If you have one of those fancy iPhones, I'll see you there! I'm on there as Balakov, unsurprisingly.
Advanced script for Blender is now available on Mecabricks.
Some of the new features include:
+ Real bevels
+ Scratches, fingerprints, real roughness
+ Stickers are automatically detected and have a separate material (only for parts with stickers recently added in Mecabricks)
+ Works with Filmic-blender
This Advanced Disposal front loader pulls out of their Rolling Meadows division, which is a subsidiary of the Northbrook yard. However, it used to be considered a subsidiary of the Melrose Park division, so it hosts a unique fleet of trucks.
In an effort to replace an aging fleet, this truck hit the road late last year, replacing a Mack MR Heil.
With a few days till the end of Legomoc's contest, I thought I'd upload my entry before it's too late. With so many clone troopers being overdone these days, I wanted to make something unique and new.
Honestly, this fig was fun to make, but a pain in the ass! Anyway, let's go over the elements:
-Helmet: custom molded from 2 action figure helmets (tie fighter pilot and clone trooper) The helmet also incorporated a TT radio as an antenna, a warhammer piece on the helmet, and several Republic customs decals. I used some shiny black testor's paint to make the visor more shiny. This is the only time I used Testor's paint, as it's too thick for my taste. The rest was painted with citadel.
-Body armor: A set of brickwarriors Gears of War RT armor, painted and decal'ed. Features hand painted Star wars droid language on shoulder straps (?). A warhammer piece is attached to the chest, giving the soldier more bulkiness. A republic customs decal was applied on the left shoulder and then painted over, to make the ACT (Advanced Combat Trooper) insignia.
-Jetpack: a retired(?) Brick Affliction jump pack, painted and decale'd. Republic customs decals are on the sides of it.
-Arms/hands: Republic customs decals cover most of the arm, with Brickforge Vambrances covering the other half. The left one even features the communication device! The hands have bits of Brickwarriors greaves.
-Body: Republic customs decals cover the body under the armor.
-Hip piece: BrickMOC Modern combat Rig hip piece
-Legs: Republic customs decals on top of brickwarriors modified greaves. Brickwarriors greaves scraps are also on the sides of the legs, which had to be sculpted on to give them more bulkiness. A TT pouch is on the left leg.
-Minigun: I knew this fig had to have a minigun, to suit his bulky build, so I found the Minigun that Republic Customs gave me long ago during his eBay days as a freebie. I;m not sure on who originally made it though.
Well that's it! Hope you guys enjoy! Hugely inspired by many of you!
This 2004 Mack, paired with a Heil Half/Pack Front Loader, is seen tackling a commercial waste route in the Chicagoland suburbs. This combination has accounted for the bulk of Advanced's Melrose Park fleet for some time, but units such as this one are slowly being replaced and put on "Spare" duty.
The Melrose Park fleet has seen some variance in their new front load orders with primarily McNeilus units mounted on Macks, Peterbilts and Autocars.
This truck dates back to at least Veolia days, and perhaps even Onyx. The unit received an Advanced Disposal wrap/sticker upon Advanced's acquisition of Veolia's North America solid waste operations.
I have a Christmas Party on Saturday Evening. Nothing "over the top" so I picked out something festive. You can never go wrong with a Prada bag. Versace is always nice for the holidays too. There is only one issue staring me in the face at the moment, as I look down. It looks to be an advanced calculus problem. How to get the items on the left hand side photo into the corset on the right hand side picture? So I asked my husband for assistance. He took a look and then looked again. Finally he said "Its a problem for NASA or the Russians to solve baby. Modern man hasn't come that far yet." End of discussion, back up went his newspaper.
Where's Howard Hughes when you need him? Can someone answer that for me?

I did this because all the equipment involved was cheap and easy to get, but it sucked. It wasn't worth it. Here's my blog post about it.

I was contacted by the Deputy Editor of Advanced Photographer, asking if I remembered our encounter 3yrs ago in Piccadilly while she was doing street candids for DSLR mag, she found the moo card I gave her and wanted to know if they could do a feature of my reflections images, needless to say I said yes and the results are now ready for anyone to buy in any good newsagents.
One of the last trucks remaining in the fleet that was originally bought by IWS. It’s next in line at Camp Hill to be ran through the shop and then (probably) get new WM Decals.
