  1. Please remember that this topic is just for requests and submissions, we don't want it spammed up. Thanks :-)
  2. Yes, as the folder isn't public yet, you'll need to provide some deeplinks.
  3. So we're just looking at the molding box? Good work :-P Seriously though you don't want to use that. Didn't you look for recluse's tutorial like I mentioned? Using one of these instant deals is gonna yield an inferior product. Tutorial As for paint and primer, I prefer Testors, though Citidel has an amazing reputation as well. Always use primer. And try to use it with an airbrush, it provides a thinner coat.
  4. Well to do the [img=www.imagewebsite.jpg] you need to have it hosted online...why not just set up a brickshelf account? Or even use imageshack
  5. This has already been mentioned here, so I'll close this. Thanks anyway, though.
  6. Fantastic! I loved this set from the moment I saw the prototype and never looked back *wub* Thanks for the great review *sweet*
  7. Really? I thought you were a teenager Well that's good. I think the last time you said something like this, people asked for pics and you just disappeared from the thread...
  8. Great review! This is clearly TLG officially supporting anti-grav technology...I mean think about it. "How can it support itself without anti-grav while transforming?" The answer? It can't *sweet* :-P
  9. Yes it is being addressed there, and as there was nothing constructive posted in this thread I shall close it.
  10. Why is everyone so uptight about what to call boney?
  11. Sure thing :-D Not like there's much else going on in this topic...
  12. You found the website of my local newspaper :-$ *wub*
  13. From what I can read of the packaging, it seems to read "Bombay Company" with your finger intentionally covering up "ay" You guys must be bored...
  14. Can we test that out on you first? That's entirely inappropriate, as I'm sure you're aware. You've already been warned about bashing religions, so you feel it's okay to bash nationalities? Say hello to the chamber...again
  15. Well remember to take your time. Rushing through will give you a poor product, many good customizers will spend a long time before a final product. Not to mention that casting takes a long time as well, first you need to create the mold which can take over a day, then casting itself takes at least a day per mold if you're using the good stuff. Of that, expect quite a few failures with air bubbles.
  16. Third, don't back-seat moderate :-|
  17. The picture isn't working, but if you're willing to go to the point of having someone cast a piece of headgear, then you're not opposed to customization, right? Why not just paint a hood red, in that case? Either vinyl dye or just testors or citidel paints would work
  18. I always just buy it from a nearby hobby store, I'm sure there's one around you somewhere, though I'm sure there's some online store that sells it, just google ;-) As for molding, Green stuff is best if you just want to make a single item, however if you want to cast more, anything will do, and sculpy's cheap and readily available, not to mention easy to work with. Recluse has a nice tutorial on how to do the procedure, using silicon gel (you can't really make it with ABS unless you use an injection molding system like Armothe and Redbean, which would be too costly for you). ImperialScouts has had some modest success with it, so if you want to ask him, he'd be a good person for you to get help from.
  19. Well I can't find the info on his front page, but I know he's done it in the past. I believe he's still making this new page though, and has been very, very busy as of late, so I guess the best way to ask if he has the time would be to contact him via e-mail and to ask nicely. He's doing this at-cost, so whenever he prints decals out, even from his store, he's doing it as a favor to the AFOL community. Because the charge is only cost (decal paper plus ink) you won't find a better deal. The decals from his store range from $1 (for a head or torso) to $3 for an entire fig (head, arms, legs, torso). He sends you the decals in a sheet, which you then cut out to the correct dimensions and apply. To apply waterslide decals, first make sure the surface is clean (soap and water), then dip the decal very briefly in a bit of water, then let it sit for a minute. When this is done you'll be able to slide the decal off the backing, and directly to the fig. When this is done, apply a coat of decal setting solution to make it look as if it were printed on, followed by some clear krylon spray or future's floor wax, or even nail polish remover for protection, and a little dullcote to get rid of the annoying fake shine.
  20. Well it's not about just using waterslides (which ARE heads and shoulders above any other type of decal), it's having a good enough printer to print them out on. The kind that Kam uses is a high-quality industrial printer that costs several thousands of dollars...but you get what you pay for. I've printed out some of my decals with his services in the past, and recomend you do the same.
  21. I saw "August Rush" last night. It was good, but didn't quite live up to the hype. The acting at the end was unbelievable (the bad kind :-P), and the ending felt rushed. Not to mention the lead actor was really, really annoying. And the beginning was horrid. The middle was good, however...
  22. Yes, make sure to run a search next time :-P Closed.
  23. Very nice, though I can't help but think how much cuter it could have been if the rabbit fig were one of the troll's dolls from childhood or something like that :-D
  24. Stunning, I'm always in awe of how your MOCs use the color pallet to the full potential. I find it hard enough coordinating two or three colors, but then there's something like your mushroom house which just blows me away. Not to mention the added functionality of this box! Fantastic work, Megan
