My next update shouldnt be as long a wait, the contests have upped my self esteem. I have made a hand full of customs in the last year and have gathered the courage to finally post them. First up is Scooby Doo.

I will have more to post hopefully later this week, I finished a couple of the WIPs but not all of them.

Once again thanks for looking.

I like the original take on the Justice League a lot, are you stopping there or do you plan to make some baddies too?

Nice work! I know I'm late to the party but I absolutely love your dioramas.

I second this. I have been following the show from the beginning and it is getting better with each episode. The game has been enjoyable too.

This was a great contest to bring out some creative results. Great work to everyone who entered and thanks to lurch and dst for making this contest happen.

( p.s. I'm really glad my "campaign contributions" made it to you and your daughter. Lol)

Thanks guys. I started working on him 3 or 4 days after the contest was announced. Can't wait to see some of the other entries as time ticks down to the deadline.

Wow, just wow, great contest entries.

Here is mine, a 4 foot 3 inch GiantMaxiMinimate Galactus that would greet you at the entrance to the museum.

He was scratch built out of mostly cardboard and poster board. Galactus also retains all 14 points of articulation and all the armor is removable. As always I wish a good luck to everyone who enters.

Happy birthday, glad you're on the forum!

Sooooooooooo many great customs. Can't wait to see the results.

Great job everyone. So happy I placed in my second contest, my confidence grows every time. Thanks for making this possible for us all Luke.

BrobotC your paint job was

Out of this world

*Yeeeeaaaaaa*

Looks like we have some future writers on the board

Great entrys everyone, had a hard time picking just 3 for each category.

The backpack that my custom uses is from one of those "authentic" 1:18 scale army men(don't remember the name of the line).

2034

Well where do i start.The world is in chaos after the zombie apocalypse. People are being greedy with everything. Food, clothing, and medicine are under lock and key. It should be humans vs zombies but its not. No, the truth is it's human vs human and the zombies are just moving targets. Zombies at first were slow, dumb and really only out for themselves. We as humans are on equal grounds, at least we were. Watching zombies outside my window has been terrifying. They... they are communicating to each other, yes I said they found a way to communicate. The more fighting among humans, the more these things are learning, adapting. I saw one run. RUN! The zombies have always walked or..... or shuffled along, now they can F#%*&@ run.

Reading this you may wonder how i have survived. I've always been a shy, socially awkward teen/adult, happier behind my computer than outside. I was able to survive this long thanks to things I watched/played/read. When venturing outside I make it a habit to not stay long at any one place. My house is still "safe" for the time being. I fill my time, practicing shooting and have just recently starting writing my stories. Getting better at not wasting ammo and am hitting zombies with all the bullets I fire. Gotta be careful shooting guns outside, it calls to the other survivors. While that may sound like a good thing it's not.

Survivors are out for themselves. I have had a run in with two different small groups of these good natured people. With one a pretty girl distracted me while her partner got a cheap shot in. They beat me up and stole all the supplies i was carrying. Yes, the most I've been beaten up was by humans, like always. The second small group was three men. They kicked me out of the store I was "shopping" at. Told me I was no longer welcome. Took my training pistol and all the ammunition. On my way out they decided it would be funny to shoot me in the leg and see how far I could run before the zombies got me. Got home safely, the adrenaline blocked out the pain for hours.

The truth is do I want to keep living in this world. It really is me against the world, both humans and zombies. Anyone who is reading this should know I'm probably already dead. Wether i die from bandits, zombies, or I decided to end this torture you should know one thing. Check this room cause things that die don't stay dead anymore.

(Good luck to everyone.)

Can anyone tell me if we have the box set for ghostbusters that can be seen in the top left of this photo. It looks like it come with marshmellow hair for ray and egon. Also if you compare the coloring of the suits with the poster(?) the suits appear more khaki color than grey.

Wait where did you see minimate kid arms and legs?

Good toy fair so far but still hope there are some surprises left.

Sweeeeeet! This is the best news to come outta pre-toy fair. Hicks needs to be in wave 1 period. Can't wait to see the different vehicules the team minimateasizes.

Congrats to those who have got them. I went to toys r us(in maryland) today hoping to find gold but alas it was not to be. Asked the nice woman at the desk about them. She told me they were about to reset the store and the battle beasts would be available here in a week or two. Hope that helps.

Also wanted to pop in to say great photos, really shows off all the little details.

Bravo.

The sparkling nail polish was genius (will keep that in the back of my mind) and I agree with the sculpted boobs. Roger's head looks great but has me wondering what a fully sculpted one would look like. Do you think when you have more projects under your belt you will try to sculpt one? How's the size of the cab compared to the figures? Can we see a pic of Roger "driving".

Along with my bill and Ted I have also had turtles on the back burner for a couple years, I really need to buckle down and finish everything. Great results and can't wait to see what customs you finish in 2013.

Great pictures, love the different styles.

Always a pleasure to see the fx you put in your pictures jay.

I used to think if something funny wasn't happening why take a picture. Then I saw pictures like these, the dedication to getting the perfect shot and the beautiful pictures. Really nothing more to say but great pictures and I love them all.

Beautiful display you have there, can't wait to see your next version of it.

Congratulations to everyone who entered for some amazing customs and thanks for the votes. Hope to enter more contest this year and to get to 1st place. :biggrin:

Ah thanks for that. I don't have her, but if I did I would have used them on my max.

Congratulations guys. Must say I lurk here more than I post but have always loved the respect on the forum. Amazing that you guys made it to that count and have remained in good spirits about it. See you at 10,000 in maybe 12 years :tongue:

Great ant man mikebit, you should do a write up on how to make him.( hint hint )

I echo bob on the two Sam & Max's, it's always fun to see different interpretations of the same characters. Aethyr - where did those feet come from?

Im more excited about Roger Rabbit, you keep tackling my favorite properties. Can't wait to see what you do with them.

How did I miss your bill and Ted collection. I'm working on the main two now, but wow you knocked it out of the park with all of the historical figures. Party on dude!
