I'm not...but they say Variety is the Spice of life.


Simple one that was Bound to happen...Zartan
With a background so he stands out.

ImageImage

I need to find some Micro pens...the things for lining gundams...Put paint on his eyes and that'll be it.


The photo isn't doing much for this one...Clear Orange with Holo-foil-glitter. I'll have to try for some different pics

Image

I've not fully assembled this one's arms... still debating if I want to add Black pads and shoulders...and maybe a different color for the "skin tone" parts.


Just playing around with this one...

Image

It's a Solid Black Glow in the Dark head and neck encapsulated in Clear....

Image

I think any solid color is too much... Will try it again once I can detail up another skull/neck... The details on the skull get lost behind the details of the face.... Also the skull is a little too chin up...makes the mouth and eyes misaligned.

This is what's inside of the head if you're curious... Montezuma's Skeleton's Head with modified parts of his neck.
Image


And Because I know you're not really sick of BATs yet....

Dreadnok Ground Assult BAT 1.0
Image

The Blue on the body came out a more like the Air Assault blue...but I think it'll be fine once I can find a Teal paint to use with the figure.



Not sure how well it shows in this video... I'll have to try and record the BAT out in the Sun...

You know... These are all great, of course, but I like the BATs still. Clear is great, and twinkly Zartan is cool too, as is the skull head thing, but I am digging that Dreadnoks BAT. With the right arm attachments, he can replace all of the non pirate Dreadnoks, since you now have it taking attachments on both arms, which I freaking love, btw.

And the colors match really well from what I can see.

Zartan rules. Such a great cast. Clear face/skull head is a neat idea, but as you said, hard to tell what's going on. GA BAT has potential as well.

Sparkly bronze Zartan is fantastic. Can I haz one? So cool, need it. The clear one is better than the GvC one from the Club by a mile.

Ooooh a clear Ninja Force Zartan would be sweet.

Yeah, you go to "army builders" on ebay and its infested with them. But I guess that was Cobra Commander's plan.

Thanks... The video has finished processing on YouTube... not sure how well it shows up, but there is a Photochromic additive in the Light green that darkens in UV/Sunlight.

Really nice. I want the BAT, and maybe some other Dreadnok themed stuff with the photochromic action. In fact, I'd like to see a line of figures with the photochromic gimmick where each figure has a 'laser' (really a pocket black light like yours with some light piping to aim it), so you can have each side shoot each other and take damage. Sort of like Eco Warriors without the squirt guns. Make it happen... ;)

I totally dig that BAT. And I totally dig that Crystal Ball with skull inside. Heck, I'm also thinking I just want some of that BAT Chest Plate Available!

Clear Zartan is flawless!

When is your storefront going up?

Clear Zartan is cool. As I told you in Canada, all of the glow in the dark stuff is awesome. I'll post the video of the skull tonight.

I think clear green or yellow with the sparkles would be awesome. It would mimic the trasnforming Zartan from the comic a whole lot better. Any time a gimmick can be character accurate I'm all for it.

Nice clear ARAH Zartan, i dunno if you save those clear rubber bands that most figures come with, that might work for a replacement for the standard black o-ring and make Zartan really clear.

Nice job on everything.

Yep, really nice. I know how big of a pain it is to get stuff to the level you are at with casting. That Zartan is great! The skull inside the head is cool. There might be a market to do a Ghost Rider head like that. 2 ways really. A Johnny Blaze clear head with a few hints of skin color and inside a orange and yellow cast skull. Then a white cast skull with a swirl of clear orange and yellow flame.
