On November 2/3, Rhode Island Comic Con will be held, and in attendance for the first time as a vendor will be Hole in the Ground Productions. If you’re in that area and make the show, be sure to swing by their booth as they will have a full stock of their custom movie props and custom diorama items available.
This weekend we run a well overdue Customizer Spotlight on the amazing work of forum member Peakob1. Just imagine how much more exciting the Clone Wars line would have been in 2012 with attention to detail (and variety of characters) like this!
Check out his latest work in our forums by clicking here!
Enjoy Episode 76 of Custom Action Figure News as our friends at Imperialshipyards interview the great custom artist know as Sjefke.
Listen to them stroll down through his custom work including Cane Addiss, Wam, and his great new Wookiee Gal. As always, they make time for Whats on the Pegs – check out the video link here.
A new Yakfinities Customizing Challenge has just kicked off, and the theme is Order 66 Survivors. So get those creative juices flowing for what is sure to be another fun customizing event in our forums. Several entries have already been submitted too, which can be seen here.
The photonovel adventures of Rykrof Enloe are set to continue in the near future – but a big part of the process before any story can begin is creating new environments for he and his plastic friends to explore. Head on over to the forums for a closer look at the latest diorama that is being constructed after the jump!
Diorama construction and new figure customizations are well underway for the next installment in The Enloe Trials Photonovel Series. For a closer look head on over to the forums.
It’s been a while since the last chapter was released in The Enloe Trials photonovel series, but that’s the way it goes when trying to make new customs and dioramas for each chapter (and trying to shuffle priorities of work and being a parent). So what’s a guy to do when he doesn’t have time to make all the sets on his own? Create a few concepts, and find someone who is able to build some of the sets for you!
So, thanks to the efforts of Yakface forum member EMPIRE, another installment in the series will be happening faster than I anticipated. You’ve probably by now seen some of his amazing work here in our forums. I’m sure he’ll be posting more updates of his fantastic custom playsets before too long, but for the time being head on over and take a quick look at what he’s working on for me behind the scenes by clicking here.
For all you diorama fans, forum member Raylen has just revealed a special sneak peek at a new 3.75″ scale item I am guessing many of you are going to want to add to your collections. Soon, he will have them available for order at his site.
For now, head on over the forums and for a glimpse at what’s to come…
Personal Note: Shut up and take my money!
