I think this custom 12' Snow Job turned out super! Can't wait to use him in the snow :D
Ripping apart 5 building kits. It took some time to get the windows out with out breaking them as they are glued in.
Headmaster Duros. This is a little bit of a teaser for a project I am soon to finish up. I got a little ahead of myself and wanted to post these tonigh (no pun intended)
Duros was built using mainly U. Nightstick and lower legs from a minicon, who's name I don't remember. I added HLJ ball joints at the hips giving it even more articulation. He stands about 1.75" tall.
I started to detail the top section. Though I'm only have way done. I need to spend a good hour or so painting and detailing the roof and top piece.
Then I need to glue on advertisements on the signs.
Roof details. I aged and weathered the roof. I also added an extra Chimney, vent, and air conditioner.
I've been wanting to make this figure for a long time, finally found a decent looking uniform to make it happen, this is based on the US soldiers that responded to the 'black mesa incident' in the first half-life and it's expansions
known as 'human grunts' they fought against the invading aliens, the player. and pretty much everyone in an attempt to contain and coverup the incident,
their uniforms have long since been a favorite of mine and I'm glad I've finally got one in my collection, I'd love to make more but I have no idea where this uniform came from haha
Custom buildings are not the easiest structures to build for a relative novice like myself. I originally was going to use Walthers' Modulars Kits for this project, but W.K. Walthers discontinued them. Therefore, I used DPM kits instead. The annex is a Pola Pickle Factory kit.
All I really got done today was painting the facade walls. I also have to clean up a few of the edges still on the panel parts. I'm looking forward to doing a lot more work on this tomorrow. (Saturday)
I'll hopefully get the building together and start to add details, and weathering to the facade as well.
I'm going to modify the top a little bit and the ground floor entry from how the kit comes out of the box.
I also like the dull brown over the bright lime green. Once this is weathered it'll bring the facade to life as well.
More to come tomorrow.
a fellow boardie over at the 3A Forum, name of wwwetworks, asked me if i'd liked to paint up one of his cool kitbash customs.
it's based on ashley woods Adventure Kartel (AK) Zombot, with added WWRp Bramble arms.
of course i said yes!
what's cooler than to paint up a zombie???
it was a lot of fun, indeed!
thanks again for this cool job, carlo!

scratch buidling the bay windows and patio door. I ran out of pieces so I had to scratch build these.
Phicen kitbash using the Little Red Riding Hood headsculpt . For the life of me I still can't find a proper Phicen body that matches this particular headsculpt ,this is the pale body and it still doesn't match , so frustrating >:(
I finally pulled out the razor saw & mitre box and shortened the nose to a more prototypical length. I needed to shorten the nose by ~10" (about 2.9mm) so I took out a slice that's about 2.5mm, and that and the sawcuts brought the nose back enough so that the front walkways are no longer deathtraps.
Lots still to do on just this nose! I need to scrounge a louver section from one of the scrap rs32 shells I've got (I bought 3 of them for 578 & 576, plus one spare. One long hood is going onto the B11, and that leaves enough to cut up for louvers), fill the gaps in the new joint, and set up pilot holes for grab irons and the ladder up the DS of the hood. But nevertheless 578 no longer looks like it has RSD15 envy, which is a necessary start to this kitbash.
The last Kitbash Widow I'm going be doing for a while (parts aren't cheap nor easy to get is a sorely needed upgrade of the Endgame figure.
Effectively everything about the Hot Toys releases screamed disappointment, with the only exception being the suit which was the first of the "stretchy" releases.
The sculpted ponytail was removed and rehaired to resemble Natasha's look from the teleconference scene in Endgame. Colours are definitely more vibrant, but the artist and I were in an experimenting mood.
As expected, the suit held up reasonably well, though I'd be lying if I said it came out flawless. The suit came shaped like a really crappy hourglass, which helped with not only the fitting into the body but also with giving the body a better sense of curves than the other ones.
Everyone has gotten such a kick out of this G.I. Joe mod that I thought I'd go ahead and upload one of my deleted outtakes.
So here they are...all the wall pieces and glass pieces. They are all sanded down and sized to be glued together.
That said I made one small boo boo on one wall piece. I'll have to fix it as there will be a small gap in the side wall in one spot. I have extra material from the extra bottoms. I'll be able to fix this with hardly a noticeable clue.
Also I'm going to paint the wall sections. I hate the lime green. I also hate the plastic look. As well I'm going to change the store frontage too. Yuck.
Anyways I'll get to this tomorrow. I'll post my updates later tomorrow. :D
Customizing office floors, and office details.
I got these ideas from my friend Jerry.

This guy is one of my favorite (and most valuable haha) figures in my collection, I've always loved this armor design even if compared to what the military actually uses now, this 80s vision of the future looks very obsolete, it's a perfect blend of futuristic and "G.I." look that a lot of scifi soldiers don't have, I'm really hoping hot toys revisits this license like they are with robocop, just to give me a chance to get more armor sets haha
I'm happy too!
Soundwave is my first Revoltech kitbash. I got all the parts to fit together tonight. Some celebratory shots were called for. He's made of of one Soltic H8 (the green body) and one Titanium Soundwave from TFMaster's stash (rest in peace, Billy).
