Vash

been awhile.. ups and downs.. downs and ups.. still not quite finished with the helmet .. but some photographic updates for ya and a special thank you to my vaccum cleaner that modeled my helmet... oooh yeah on with it on me

it started life as a 2 piece jango fett helmet made by rubies.. the guy that originally owned it cut off most of the bottom of the helmet leaving the visor area, key slots on the back and then rebuilt the rest of the helmet using plastic.. from there he fiberglassed the entire inside of the helmet and used bondo to smooth out the seam on top.. from there he primed it and it sat for two years until i picked it up off ebay... since then ive smoothed out some rough spots.. finished the inside of the helmet and installed a new visor... repainted and am now working on something to take the place of the standard RF stalk and boba fett ears...

not all that much padding was required.. mostly because i wanted it to have plenty of air movement so it doesnt get quite so hot while wearing it.. best part was the foam i used was free packing material from work.. YAY!!!! as for the gloves.. they rock.. sooooo comfortable!!!

its now wearable and my visor is attached... i also have gotten a better grip on the situation

yes tim there is a full costume in the works.. im getting there.. its coming along a bit slower than the bucket did.

let me show you what ive been doing it all started with from that spawned this which spawned which became and then transformed into

all of my customs are painted with citadel colours.. they are fantastic and they have a really wide palate of premixed colours to choose from...

What kind of card do you need to have? xbox 360 has special memory cards made only for the 360.. you just copy your profile onto the memory card and either do what i do and leave the card in the xbox allllll the time and take it with you when needed.. or have a copy of it on both the hdd and the memory card.

That indecent proposal is probably best kept in a PM, Vash! its tim.. he knows how i feel about him

hit me up when you get up and running online with it TBT .. im thinking me you.. a night of boozing it up.. hitting a comedy club.. and wrap it all up with some boobs..

Wow. Five times. Way to go, Microsoft! I don't care. microsoft still dosn't give a damn about quality, that's why they repaired your console 5 fucking times. (Sorry to put the "f bomb" out there but it's just get my point out) If microsoft really cared you wouldn't have to get your console repaired every couple of months. I heard you say earlier that microsoft give you all of this "free" crap for being a fanboy and keeping trust with microsoft. I know that SONY dosn't do that. But I also SURE AS HELL KNOW THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO KEEP GETTING YOU PLAYSTATION REPAIRED EVERY FEW MONTHS! The only good thing about microsoft is that if you bitch at them enough they will send you free tidbits for telling them about there problems. Also there customer support is relliable if your console breaks. If I was a head of a big store like WAL-MART (which I am thankfully not) I put a decent size sticker on every 360 box that ran through my store that says " NOW CONTAINS A 10% MORE FAILURE RATE! ENJOY SENDING YOUR BACK TO microsoft FOR REPAIRS!!!" Well that is enough for now, but count on seeing another rant like this later. *WII OUT* go play your ps3 and your wii and quit crying about my 360.. microsoft customer support and technical support have taken wonderful care of me both times i've had to send my 360 back for repairs FOR FREE. so again please its fine that you dont like the 360 but dont bitch about it for the sake of bitching about it.. if it was half as bad as youre making it out to microsoft wouldnt be selling as many as they are. meh..

why is nudity tainting a movie? .. or video game for that matter. GTA has always been an adults game its never been marketed towards kids and never will be. GTA has always been a game for those with a twisted sense of humor those that look at the world (of GTA) and laugh at the perverse look at our own world. Yes GTA has sex, drugs, gun battles, cop killing, and random acts of violence for no other reason than to cause destruction and chaos. But last time I checked the real world as all of that stuff too. Does GTA glorify the dark side of life.. yes.. but at the same time it reminds us that there is more to life than fluffy bunnies and cotton candy. For some people its a release at the end of a tense work day.. for others its to see how many cars they can steal and collect, still some use the game as a way to escape the reality they are unhappy with. Dunno.. Is the violence, sex, and drugs needed for GTA?? Likely not.. although I have to believe the game wouldnt sell as well as it does if it candy coated the world. meh?

That post is from May 21 2007 before the SM3 minis were released and strangely i see a SM3 mini box? That Two-Face is awesome, though. You're looking at the SM3 preview mates from (I believe) WizardWorld LA. It's a very good Two-Face. I'm glad to see the coin was included. what rad speaks is truth its the SM3 preview 2pack. btw the coin HAD to be included i even scarred one side of it.. which ofcourse you cant see in the pic and well i cant take it out of his hand now because its glued in place...

friends birthday was yesterday and its been a rather Portal themed month his wife made a Portal cake and Portal has been the talk of everything as of late so for his birthday I crafted ref. pic

thats hilarious ive got bits and pieces of pin head laying around my work area... very well done on both accounts.. you thinking of doing a pig mask for jigsaw?

try using the image code option from photobucket itll look like this "[ IMG]http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h20/YOURNAMEGOESHERE/YOURPICGOESHERE.jpg[/img ]"

the following quote is from the contest rules "1.) Comics - In this category the custom minimate has to be a zombie character from any comic or graphic novel. 2.) TV/Movies - Here the custom minimate had to be a zombie from a particular Movie or TV show. 3.) Original Concept - This minimate custom can be any character Zombie transformed not to have been a zombie before in Comics or TV/Movies. The sky is the limit! You can even consider it a "What if?" concept. This would also include Zombies that do not fit in the Comics or TV/Moives categories" Now as far as my entry goes. I talked to JL privately about my entry and because of the last line in the original concept category (which i have bolded) i understood where i was to be placed. Now as for the rules being changed... does it suck? yep.. is the way the contest being judged now possibly the way the contest should have been ruled from the get go.. most likely(personal opinion) BUT!!!! just winning because youre the only entry into a specific category (to me) kinda defeats the purpose of doing the whole custom contest.. now.. Ive entered just about every custom contest that has been held on this board.. Ive never won, nor have I ever come close to winning.. hell I dont even think that Ive ranked in the top 5 in a single contest. now.. what does that mean.. it means that I enter these contests for the reason that we have them.. for FUN win or lose, big prize or just a little bit of fame in this corner of the interweb its all about fun.. so that being said understand that having to change the rules at the end of a contest wasnt what JL wanted.. but it had to be done so that the contest was actually viable.. i dunno.. this is all IMHO so please dont take offense to any of this and if you do take offense to any of this bring it up to me personally not on here in the public form. mike

pics no worky!!!

Actually Vash was also in the original concept category, leaving me in category 2 (TV and movies) by myself. If we had kept the original rules, I would have been handed a victory simply for being the only person in the category, and it would have been very unfair. TBT! was in the OC too... (sorry i just wanted to sound cool and use initials)

im game for whatever i had a blast making my zombie and have been blown away again by the talent put out by this board so my vote is for the top 3 overall zombies

saber tooth i believe..... And you'd believe wrong - It's a repainted Jean Grey coat from series 7. *why isn't there a smug emote* Totally love the headcrab Zombie there Mike it's going to get my vote in the 'everyone is in this catagory' Catagory! T. p.s. Omen D. I think I have a spare if you need it. and timbo wins the noprize for knowing it came from the lovely and dead jean grey the colour is achieved by using some random brown colour and then i use the citadel flesh wash over top of it to give it that actual leathery look.. all paints i use are the citadel paints and thanks ive made 3 heads.. to FINALLY get it where im satisfied... lol ill have to finish them and maybe make an army of headhumpers i kinda wish the pic showed how i destroyed a minimate to get the cracked opened chest cavity.. but i dunno.. that may just be me

zombie contest entry

sorry no boobs in my entry.. but there is an exposed chest this is my entry into the original concept section of the zombie contest(because somebody forgot to make a section for video game zombies) Anyways this is a Headhumper Zombie from the Halflife universe.. enjoy first the referance picture followed by view number one and number two

very very very nice work luke... i cant imagine to work you had to do to achieve the details in the mask... i know how many times ive scrapped almost finished work to redo it especially when working with such small details... mind blowing!!

either that or it was me not seeing your attempt at humor and not wanting to get people confused
