Is that a custom base for it? Pretty creative. The robocop also has some really cool details only someone with talent would be able to do. I wish I was even remotely talented enough to put one together clumsily, let alone as nice as yours. Thanks for showing those off!
Thanks man! The terminator was a real beeeoootch to paint and build. I did make the base for him. I made the walls from floral foam with bondo over it,and the rocks from clay. He had a nasty fall and broke his arm and base. I still need to do something with hi. He's in my file cabinet right now. The robocop was a fun one to do. It was a clean version so i did the battle damage my self. I used a exacto kinfe and dremmle tool to add the damage. I still have him on my desk. Robocop is one of my alltime favorite movies. I made this to.
It plays about 5000 arcade games using a arcade emulator.
I only ever built vinyl kits because there easy to build and dont have a million parts or require much filling and sanding. Theres usually six or so. If you want to start out painting/ building I would look around ebay for some characters you like and find the recast from thailand to practice on. I dont usually support recasting of any kind but for someone starting out its a very inexpensive way to hone there skills and not mess up a $100.00 model kit. It can be ver relaxing to build them. I always did at when i was stressed out. Have you checked out http://www.theclubhouse1.net
