Welcome Harvey2Face! Hicks is looking good so far and nice job on the helmet band. Cool pose too.

Kind of a tangent from building 1:6th scale figures correctly, but just finished up better accurizing some 1:1 marines to make them more correct and figured I'd show em off a bit.

Duuuude. Nice!

 

[Bravomite]

That's awesome! I bet that took a while to put together. Almost have your very own aliens movie museum exhibit going on... I'm jealous

Damn! Nice work! The marine in the centre with the helmet, what does his name stencil say?

 

[bigbisont]

Thanks guys, and yes it has been a LONG process to slap that stuff together. I love building stuff though and this is just another avenue for that.

That is actually 'my' armor. Has my name on it, not specific to any screen character. I've only worn that iteration of the armor twice (once in the dragonCon parade in atlanta and once last halloween) but I like having it around.

Very nice collection, particularly the smartgun setup on your RPF pics. The only 1/1 stuff i have is the Snow wolf pulse rifle, a motion tracker built from a kit and both versions of the Reebok Stompers.

Yo people.
I've got all the HT stands (with logo and names), along with all original heads, hands, and boots available. Also Drake's body and 2 Ripley outfits (clothes and boots). All from MIB figure part-outs.
PM me at will.
m.

PD: I forgot, also bodies, weapons, boots, hands and stands from both Dutch and Billy Sole are up for grabs. All new.
PD2: actually I am selling a lot of MIB/MISB figures (Apollo Creed, Big Chap, Obi-Wan Clone armour, Yamato Patlabor, HT Vader ANH, rider of Mouth of Sauron, etc), diorama accessories, 1/18 cars, 1/6 customs (Han Bespin, Han Endor) and 1/6 part (LOTR, SW, GI Joe, etc). I can accept exchanges as I am still looking to complete my collection.

i can't see a single appearance feature that would remind of him except for the haircut.

Re: Customizing your Marines: TIPS

Yeah it's off, but that's who it's based on. They're also doing a Charlie Sheen Seal to go with it.

Can't get too close and risk getting sued by talent who didn't authorize it. Biehn seems like the kind of guy who would sue. Shame though, a missed opportunity all the same.

Also wish they would have made that series a trio with Bill Paxton as "God". Then they'd have been cooking.

Re: Customizing your Marines: TIPS

I think I'll stick with this ZC Toys body. Not bad for 17 bucks off ebay.

the thing is i always recognized everybody whose appearance they were using. in this case they either went too far or just couldn't sculpt it
i still don't see any likeness, even knowing their other products.
