Luke Sprywalker shows us his finished Bounty Hunter...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, May 20 2012
I was liking the wip pics he gave us of this one and his finished version he calls Devil Man sure does seem spot on to me. Click on through to see the full size custom figure from various angles. He even gives us a hint to one well know Mando Custom is going to get his own speeder bike!



Darth Daddy does some quick fixes to Rex and Wolffe!
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, May 20 2012
He shows us that sometimes it doesn't have to be over the top to really make an AF better. He has definitely shown this on his much improved versions of Captian Rex and Wolffe. Click on through to see this and a great way to get a better Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan too.



Incom shows us his favorite Steampunk Artists!
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, May 20 2012
I am really liking the western feel of this artwork by artist Tom Hodges. Please click into the thread Remco started and see the cool artwork he has found. He also says feel free to add to it if you have other Steampunk Favorites.



Lucasclones shows us 808 Delta...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, May 20 2012
He got the design from a customer and I think it is just rock solid. Chad is really getting good with the paint and weathering apps and you can see that this Trooper really has used his gear. Click on through to see this and a great looking Airborne Trooper too.



Ron Hembling is back with some Dioramas!
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, May 20 2012
Ron took some time back from his deployment break to share some images of some of his latest diramas. They feature his favorite character: the Sandtrooper. I am especially fond of the one you see above where one is partially submerged. Click on through to see them all though.

Luke Sprywalker is finishing off his Command Yoke...
-- Posted by Tamer on Thursday, May 17 2012
Once again L.E. turns trash to treasure with this latest custom vehicle offering. I think he could turn a dixie cup into a walker as good as he is. I especially like the blaster shots and dings he has added to the outside of this to make it look like it has seen lots of action. Click on through and enjoy the update like I did.



C130IM shows us some Custom Figures...
-- Posted by Tamer on Thursday, May 17 2012
I am well versed in how awesome his custom vehicles are and of some of their huge size, but wow can he make some great custom figures too. Click on through to see pics of his original Alien Invasion Army. I must say the Mutated Alien General you see in the picture above with that great fold away predator style shoulder cannon is a particular favorite.



AFE gives us an astounding new Mando Gal with Backstory...
-- Posted by Tamer on Thursday, May 17 2012
Action Figure Empire has just crafted a fine tale and a fine custom figure as you can see by the picture above. Jai Haiku (J-eye High-koo)just looks utterly fantastic and you can just see a boat load of great images and even some reference shots of some of the gear she packs. This is definitely another must click event.



BL4CK5H33P shows us a whole heap of Mandos...
-- Posted by Tamer on Thursday, May 17 2012
The picture above is one of the most stunning before and after shots that I can remember. I think his final product and armor variations are just over the top. Click on through to see this and more works in progress from BL4CK5H33P!
