He is on a TTM19.

He is on a TTM19.

Cool, I'll be on the lookout for one. Is there anything I should know? Will the original boots/hands/head peg in just fine with the TTM19 body?

 

[The Rider]

Very nice figurs.
Killer Sculpt and painting.
I hope Neca and Hot Toys make a Biehn Sculpt like this.

Have you other pictures from the Hicks face.

I know the words "best I've ever seen" are often misused, but even though there are some great examples on this thread, those really are the best Colonial Marines figures I've seen.

elvis, are you planning on removing the chin straps and adding a band on Hick's helmet and giving him a US flag patch? Only asking, as otherwise he looks like he just stepped out of the movie.

 

[snoop101]

Those are insanely cool Elvis, great job. Could you take some more pictures of Hicks?

Anyone else spot this ebay auction?: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-6-Cust...AzmdTW6gPj8h48dBdiu7M%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

Someone wanted a Newt figure in their Aliens collection real bad.

I think it's a great figure and the best 1/6 Newt made so far, (I might even have one just like it somewhere ), but that's a scary amount of money she went for.

Not only did I see the newt, the same seller has some "bashed" drop ship pilots that are fetching a hefty tag as well. Makes me want to sell the ones I made ASAP!!!

If the buyers are members here; Way to go out and get what you want. If the seller is a member here; Way to take what you can get!

But my mind is blown at those prices.

So here is my Hudson painted by Maximus Miniatures. It's from SnyderMan (thanks, mate!) and it has some re-sculpted wet-like hair for helmet. It's not for sale, just made on the original SM cast for my custom order. Looks great, imho! The game is not over yet, Apone is still alive on my shelf.
Can't wait to get him and WGP-Bishop in hands! Gonna happen this month. Oboy-oboy-oboy!

Great paintjob by MM on Hudson, V-Raptor. The re-sculpted hair looks v good too.

I saw the drop ship pilots too, but hadn't checked the latest price on them. Wow! Mind blowing prices indeed. Fair play to the seller and I hope the winning bidders are very happy with their new figures.
I'm tempted to bash a drop ship pilot or two to sell, myself now. I always thought I would need to make them movie accurate up until now.

That looks great!

Can't wait to see it on a body

 

[kl241]

He is on a TTM19.

Did you have to cut off the neck on the TTM-19 to accommodate the neck post?

 

[drjedisith]

looking good on here fellas! makes me ache a bit that i sold all my marines lol damn

 

[Viking Spawn]

Some progress on my marines.

Holy Moly! Those look FANTASTIC!!!!

 

[elvis1976]

THanks guys here's some newer pics.

stop pm'ing me those are not for sale. lol

I got lucky and bought some customized Hurricane shoulder lamp, yes they light up for real!!!

 

[lieutenant dan]

Damn, my Colonial Marine figures look kind of sucky now, in comparison.

Hick's hemet looks spot on with the band and without the chin straps.

 

[snoop101]

Those are amazing pieces Elvis. Great work.

 

[elvis1976]

THanks fellas.

Here's where i'm at with my marines.

Obviously still a lot of work on all of them but it is shaping up nicely.
This will be my never ending project.

 

[nick-a-tron]

Those look amazing! Really inspiring. Need to get photos up of my hudson progress soon.

Quick question, where are you guys getting those great looking belt tools/pop guns?

 

[V-Raptor]

This will be my never ending project.

LOOOL! So true. You just CAN'T finish your USCM marines. Ever. Never. So much to do for them. Always. LOL.

They're looking nice. I really like Hicks expression you've done with eyes direction and helmet.
But I still don't take pity that I have mine with no helmet. ))) Want to see your Vasq! *___*

Are you going to repaint pulse rifle's counters into red? :|
Also I think that you need to level up shoulders to your Bishop. The neck looks too long, bro.

And we really need some good custom set to do Newt. (((((((((((((((((((

Finally gonna get Hudsom and Bishop this week!
