WOW. You've outdone yourself with these man. Outstanding. Perfect parts choices, and as always expected, perfect paint apps.

Oh. My. God.

I can't even begin to react. That Horrorshow is a work of art. The Dianna is perfect. My jaw is on the floor.

Hah! After staring at these guys for 20 minutes I found a flaw. You need to tough up the paint on the left arm inside joint on Red Star.

Ok, seriously though, this is likely to be one of the coolest things I see all year and will be my nomination for the best team of the year.

edit: I just noticed the whisp of cigar smoke. Your stuff is officially over the top perfect.

WOW !!!

Those are great !!!
Makes me actually start to rethink my aversion to attempting to customize the 25th line.
Now you just need to do Sgt Misha and Lt Gorky...

you need to print these out high quality photo paper, put them in a binder, and present them to Hasbro.
you seriously could go on staff. immediately.

this *is* what they should look like, if & when they're released.

well done, man.

Damn you and your beautiful sculpting skills!!

Those look Production...

How about i just hand you over all the parts and you can make me some. ;-)

I can't pick a favorite. Each one is simply incredible.! Gotta look at 'em again!

Um...yeah...wow.

Kind of at a loss for words here.

Horrorshow is simply astonishing. I mean, these are all fantastic, but that coat?!? You made that!

Really, this is pretty easily the tightest single group of customs I've ever seen.

Hasbro? Paying Attention? Do this.

There was a slow clap building in there somewhere. These guys are so fantastic. You have out done yourself sir and should be proud.

I have nothing to really say in the way of a critique just that smooth painting, great part choices and a good eye with great skill has turned out some amazing figures.

Incredible work. I know this gets tossed around a lot, but it's true here- You should be working for Hasbro.
The time you put into this set really paid off.

I can only echo everything Raps said, from OMG! to being over the top perfect.
And I fully intend to steal each and every one of these recipies for my OG project.

Simply amazing my friend, simply amazing.

Thanks, guys.

Raptor- I didn't catch onto Brekhov's elbows until I posted the pick as was like "aw dang...." I may go back and give Shrage teh cigerette he sometimes smoked.

Poet Flint- Don't worry, the second team is on the way with Misha, Gorky, Daina in her shorts and tanktop, and a corrected Red Star. The advantage is that Dragonski wore the same uniform in every issues, so I don't have to make a second one. And I think I'll throw in Big Bear for good measure. And maybe Wong is I can find another Arctic Snake-eyes.

Im not a big fan of the Oktober Guard, but these are fantastic!! Really good job, great attention to detail!!

Sharkbait · **Posted:** Sun Nov 16, 2008 11:23 am

Your customs are always great, but these... These maybe your best work ever.. The sculpting on Horrorshow is the most impressive. I do not know how you manage to sculpt and paint such straight lines and fine detail. You must have super steady hands. No one can say enough about how great, wonderful and impressive these figures are..

Yeah, I think you did Okay. :shifty:

Iron Will · **Posted:** Sun Nov 16, 2008 11:52 am

Yeah I don't know what to say that hasn't already been said, but Wow! Job well done sir. No crits here and I would definitely buy that six pack!! Really nice work and way to raise the bar and give customizers something to aspire to!
