Customizer Spotlight: 6″ Scale AT-AT WIP
Brandon Flores has captured the attention of many collectors and customizers with his scratch-built 6″ scale AT-ST and now he’s moved on to something even bigger: A 6″ scale AT-AT! Click on through to check out part 1 of a gallery of images documenting the build.
Scratch-built Metal Episode VII Stormtrooper Helmet
I saw this YouTube video on The RPF Forum documenting a build of a full-size, wearable, METAL Episode VII Stormtrooper helmet based on only the few unofficial photos we’ve seen.
Custom Troop Transport Now Available
Eric Berry from Hole in the Ground Productions has released for immediate sale their latest custom for 3-3/4″ figures – the Troop Transport
I didn’t think the vehicle was all that interesting when I first started work on it but I’m now in love with this thing. Lots of options. The rear bench seat is removable so you can place it on either side on the transport or take it out so it can haul standing troops, droids, or other cargo. Paint it grey and it would make a great vehicle for the Empire too.
Customizer Spotlight: TCSloan
Forum member TCSloan has updated his customizing thread with some of the most mind blowing custom vehicles I’ve ever seen.
His scratch-made Tantive IV is just a teaser into this world of customizing perfection – head on over to the forums and prepare to be amazed…
The Enloe Trials Update
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.
Diorama Product Sneak Peek…
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!
