that's exactly where I got it from. Well worth getting.

The LVT looks great. Nothing to Critique. On the AWE, I would have switched the gatling gun with the top M2 in order to match up better with the AWE's cannon.

What's the secret to Keenan's recent vehicular success stories?

It's the secret of (acro)nym(s).

Seriously cool stuff here. No crits from me.

I just need to find time to add some of these to the gallery. (Always one of those "I'll get it later" jobs.)

I hear ya. I've been bad this year on getting things submitted also.

All the updates look great. You are on quite a roll.

The LVT, in its final form, is impressive as hell. Oftentimes, a scratch build will have some component of it which is glaringly...well...scratch built. lol. But not this.

On the other hand, to say it looks like a production piece would be an insult to your work. It looks like a museum quality miniature reproduction.

Seems like forever since I posted customs. I'm working on a team of 12" customs, and I wanted to wait to get them all finished before posting. But over the past couple days I received zombie heads from suluvjo on eBay....

His work is excellent and I was happy to be able to put my first 1/6th zombie custom together....

Here's a look at a member of my custom team....

The doctor is not happy...

Another 1/6 zombie. And another most excellent head by suluvjo.

Opened my new commando SE- first thing I did was remove those goggles. Replaced them with a slightly larger pair....

Yes, they look awesome. I'd love to have a set for my SDCC Starscream but I'm sure not inclined to order them from him. I'm waiting on stuff that I ordered back in February as well as something from over a year ago as it is. It's just rather frustrating that someone else can get something fairly quickly while someone who has been waiting for a long time doesn't get squat. I don't want to derail your thread any further so I'll just say that should someone else decide to cast those, I'd be happy to give them my business as they look great on your Starscream, which isn't surprising really. Your stuff is always top notch.

(butting in) I couldn't help noticing this comment, after mostly getting here by chance—it's not a casting of those parts, but I've actually got a version of those guns available on my Shapeways shop:

As you can see, they're designed to fit on a Skystriker. Shapeways is a 3D printing on demand setup, and in my experience they've been able to get orders in that material made and shipped in about a week or two. :-D

Sweet. I'll have to keep that in mind when I've got some extra cash. I see a couple other things you've got there that I might be interested in too.

Here are the mods I did to my 1/6th Snake Eyes (Added larger goggles- first of three pairs I ordered, gave him a new sweater, and knee pads.)

Call of Duty: Zombies.

These are the WWII Time traveling zombie fighters...

Nikolai Belinski: Red Army soldier...

Takeo Masaki: Soldier in the Imperial Army...

Edward Richtofen: German scientist...

Group shots...

I think you need to either tint the goggles or paint some eyes on Snake-eyes because as is he's kinda creepy and not in a cool kill you in 4 dozen ways with his pinkie way. I say tint the goggles once you settle on a set you like.

Keenan · **Posted:** Tue Dec 18, 2012 10:23 am

That's the plan. I just want to see how the other goggles look first.

I like the new guys. Since I'm not in on this kind of figure though, I feel like I lack the appreciation of your effort to provide much insight. I will say they all look like high end production figures/sets, so that's probably enough to cover it.

Is the time-traveling zombie fighter thing a real back-story you are working on, or just a joking way to fit them in? I ask, because if it's a real story I must know more...

Oh, and for Tank Dempsey - I would SWEAR I have a 1:18 scale head identical to that one. Kind of creeped me out a little to see it on the larger figure.
