Menlojames Custom fun and repaints some new figures

[menlojames]

Hello everyone!
I have been having some fun making Dio's. They are a lot of fun to make and for anyone that is interested YouTube has a ton of tutorials for mini gamer's. The same principles can be used for 1/6 scale and of course a shout out to Hemble in the Star Wars custom thread for all of the inspiration on his Dioramas! I bought the round wood bases at Hobby Lobby the rest of the materials I used are aquarium gravel, 4 differnt sizes of sand, Insulation foam and a lot of paint.

Fantastic stuff. Mini Dio's add a lot to a base and a figure.

 

[menlojames]

Thank you Zebraten I absolutely love your Dios and figures! Thank you for stopping by!

 

[Artoo]

Great work Menlo. I agree that even the smallest of dio gives the figure a place of belonging.

Glad to see you back James thanks for the diorama info have a wonderful holiday season

 

[menlojames]

Thank you Artoo!! !I completely agree with you and it spices up my Display case with out adding any new figures to it. Have a wonderful Holiday Season!

Hey 8-Bit Commando!!! Thank you so much! I remember a while back you made a Friday the 13th dio that was off the charts. I wish you a wonderful Holiday season as well!

Great looking Carl Grimes. Did you make the head?

 

[menlojames]

Hi Ifrack I purchased the Gentel Giants buts and took the head off it and repainted it. I made a couple more dios for Star wars.

 

[menlojames]

Some recent projects I finished Scarface and an Aurra Sing Dio.

 

[zebraten]

Top notch work!

 

[Sundance]

Really love these dios.
The Anakin one is fantastic. (Inspiring me...^L^). This GG head is great in fact...
And your paint apps are better and better each day.

James that Scarface and Aurra Sing are great,and those Dio's look very cool.

 

[menlojames]

Thank you Zebratan, Sundance, Chewblock and Sirgor!!! I really appreciate your kindness and hope to complete Aurra Sing this weekend.

That Scarface is AMAZING. I've always wanted to have that version of Tony.

Did you use the How2work suit and sling?

 

[menlojames]

Thanks Die, It is the how2Work suit and sling. It must have been 5-7 years ago that I purchased all 3 versions of the How2Work Scarface figures. I used the Enterbay Han body (same as they use for their Scarface figures) then did the water treatment on it.

 

[menlojames]

Aurra Sing almost completed

 

[8-bit commando]

That looks FANTASTIC brother

 

[menlojames]

Thanks 8-Bit! I just started reading Star Wars Omnibus Menace Revealed and she kills a ton of Jedi and has her own light saber, so I have updated Aurra with a saber.
