I think I actually like my Cylons better than DST's. I always loved them but thought they were a little fat. Easier for me because I can sculpt right onto/into the torso. No slip over required. I designed rifles and swords. I'm pretty happy with how the rifle came out.

These are moving to the top of my list of things to make. LOL

Absolutely amazing!

Looking at the source further up, it looks to be a clear helmet with red accent pieces. If you have something to use as a clear helmet for the base, you could maybe manufacture the pieces out of styrene or make them with sculpy or something. The hardest part I can see is the helmet. If you're going to skip it you could manufacture the accents and glue them to the head. I don't know if you've ever seen the Youtube channel Toy Polloi. He does vintage toy repair and restoration stuff. But I've gotten some customizing ideas from watching him. That guy can make anything with some styrene sheet and glue.

Looks to me like maybe heavily carved out of a Thor helmet?

I'll be traveling for all of May. I'm going to try to finish off a Conquest from Invincible. All my Invincible figures have been gifts for my buddy that waters my plant and grabs my mail when I travel. The recently completed Nolan and Allen were meant to be this year's gift but he recently mentioned that I should make Conquest so I have taken that as a hint. This is the same guy that makes the short AI videos I've posted. There's a bunch of Invincible characters way down my list. And now I have to slot in the crew of the Venture somewhere. Funny you should mention the Phantom. I have a roll of purple plastic and have recently added gun belts to my accessory designs. He's been on my list since I got that purple roll. I also want to make young Oliver. And a horse. I want to make a horse specifically designed for Minimate-like figures. I got some ideas from those AI designs but want to still create it myself.

You're pretty good at world / universe building. This should be fun.

Well, if (Heaven forbid) Minimates never get back to production, this thread has given me custom ideas for years to come. And possibly some parts.

LOL This is exactly what I was talking about. Also, please make a Sallah to go with Indy. Best side character in the franchise.

Is the first one Kiefer in Lost Boys? And is Hannibal Chew the character played by James Hong? My friends and I refer to the character as "I only do eyes". If so, he needs some fur trim. The other three are awesome! Much as I love James Hong, I'd have gone Leon. Possibly with a turtle accessory. LOL I'd kill for a Brion James Minimate. He could be customized into so many properties. He even played a heavy in a Mork and Mindy episode.

Just curious Luke. Would something like that helmet be within your skill set had you chosen to model it yourself? Looks amazing by the way!

On my list of things to make.

Since I've been playing with my printer's multi-colour capabilities, I decided to take a fresh crack at my Cylon. I'm quite pleased with the latest version.

Some good ones in there. I recognized Euron right away. Nice part selection.

Wonderful and so simple.
