First up are these guys. I had worked on them off an on for several week and they were each in different stages, all needing head casts. Last week I was able to do some casting and finish them up.

Thanks. The US Marines was actually stamped from the factory. I just painted the details around it to make it pop. I’m enjoying reworking those cheaper figures. I’ve wanted to do that to my Flagg for a long time but never had the space. I have more stuff to work with, just trying to juggle everything.

Thanks, I have a few more in the works, just having difficulty getting motivated to work on them. I have been setting up my stuff though.

Lots of great stuff happening here. The paintwork is excellent. That flag is really well done.

Rather than spending all my time on customs and getting burned out. I took some time to set up my collection and budget my time. Here is a diorama made from foam board I made for my ninjas.

I have to say this is one of my favorite customs. I wanted to make something like you would see on those pulp fictions books and magazines from the 60's and 70's
