This is what I've been working on for the last week or so.

First up in an LBC Overkill . . .

Cylons (Thanks to K1 for hooking me up with these sweet heads) . . .

LBC Marcus from Terminator Salvation . . .

T-800 Terminator (Features added neck, arm and chest articulation. Thanks to Marcus for hooking me up with heads- made all the difference on this figure.)

Seen with the Playmates version . . .

LBC (WIP- I plan on modding and painting him) End of Days: Clutch . . .

Finally, The Bride from Kill Bill ( I was really torn between the clean and bloodied look for her) . . .

Those are all cool. Love those classic looking Cylons, and I prefer the Bride unbloodied, like you have her.

My wife said the same about the Bride- that's the main reason I left her.

the bride looks nice, perfectly done.
I like the cylons alot and the clutch looks to be a great start for EOD version.

Holy crap! those cylons are fantastic -- simple, yet so effective!

also, great work on the Bride -- we all know about yellow, and you make it seem so easy -

finally, i just want to say (again) how awesome that playset you built is ! that sucker has stood the test of time!

Thanks, man. Yeah, that set is just over two years old now, and my kids play with it almost daily, and I've yet to have to repair it.

As for the yellow- it's really not hard as long as you use a white primer first.

That much yellow paint has been known to drive men mad. Very impressive.

And the cylon thing - well damn, why is this the first I'm seeing of it? Fits pretty damn well.

here's a follow up: what kind of primer are you using? -- the primer i've been using makes the figures 'sticky' -- it doesn't seem to cure - especially on the soft plastic parts -

Keenan · **Posted:** Sun Feb 14, 2010 12:12 pm

The primer I use (Krylon) is no longer made. I ran out of black about two years ago, and have yet to find a good substitute. I still have a couple cans of the white. This particular paint dries on ANY surface. I mean any.
. . .Then the fools went and reformulated it. :-/

But what I look for is a paint that can be used on vinyl. Haven't found one yet though. Then closest I've come is with auto primers.

Great stuff mate. Lovin' Sam and the Terminators!

Citadel sprays work on vinyl, btw. ;-)

It doesn't come in a spray bottle, but I use use Model Master acrylic primer. No problems on vinyl and PVC parts.
