I have been meaning to post these here for awhile now, sorry for the delay! Here is what i've been up to for the past few months:

I completed my personal goal of 50 customs using 25th Scarletts:

Then made a few more...

Some of my friends got together and did the nicest thing that anyone has ever done for me, getting me a bagged Eco Warriors con set. So i made a few team members to go with it:

I recently caught Funskool Fever, and have been making ME updates for these classics:

I made an updated 97 Cobra Commander:

A 3 3/4" version of the 12" con Joe Colton:

A Budo that looks a bit more like the 1988 version:

A little Python Patrol action:

A few Oktober Guard members:

And a European Spirit:

Also, tried my hand at sculpting a zombie head and foot on this zombified Jungle Viper:

And did a modern update to the classic 90's Aliens line:

Always great seeing new work from you. Especially when it's your Scarlet variations. It ranks up there with nova's Crystal Balls and Lance Sputnik's Mindbenders in its awesomeness.

These are really cool. I love that you did the Kenner Aliens figures.

So much awesomeness in this thread, I don't know where to begin. I will be copying some of these for sure. Great work!

Nice to see your stuff again!

I like the Eco additions, and think I may use your deep six recipe down the road this year. Keep up the great work!

WOAH.

This is a really impressive batch of figures. I especially love the 97 colors Cobra Commander and the Kenner Aliens set. These are both some I've been thinking about trying, and you did they extremely well.

Is the Scarlett in the large group on the left in the orange and blue with gold based on Dusty Hayes from MASK? That's incredible... I think I recognize most of them, that's a crazy project and it came out great.

Great work as usual! Really like the Visionaries Scarlet. Sgt. Apone needs a ball cap. Ripley looks perfect. An impressive body of work. Great use of the Scarlets for Gendersswitchroles.
