Questar!!!

Hey everyone,

I didn't have a post last week. I couldn't seem to finish a project. Not to worry I've got a couple new figures for this week.

The first one is Lord Krulos from Dino Riders. If you're unfamiliar with Dino Riders than you are missing out on one of the sweetest 80's cartoons ever. It's about a group of people, the Vallorians, from space that crash on prehistoric Earth. They are followed by the evil Rulons lead by Lord Krulos. They arm the dinosaurs with lasers and use them to fight their war. Let me sum that up, dudes from space fighting each other while riding on dinosaurs armed with lasers aka the best thing ever.

Hopefully I'll have some more Dino Riders figures soon. I've got some big plans.

Lord Krulos 1

I actually finished him awhile ago, but I entered him in a contest at procustomizers.com and I couldn't post him until the contest was done. The best part I got 3rd place in the contest. It's the first time I've placed in a contest. It felt pretty good. Procustomizers.com is a great site with some of the best guys in the customizing game. If you ever want to see some amazing work go check them out.

Lord Krulos 2

Well that's it for this post. Don't worry though I'll have another one coming in the next couple of days.

Valhalla awaits.

The Last Laugh

Man, what a couple of weeks I've got going. Rocked some Ironman 2 (Sam Rockwell is the bee's knees), Going to the UFOfest in Oregon, and we've got the finale of Lost next week. The best thing is another finished custom(finally) The Joker.

He's the third in my line up of bat villains. Again I tried to go for a mix of the classic comic look and add in some realism and my own personal style.

He went from being what I thought was going to be pretty simple to being a huge pain in the ass. I repainted his head 3 or 4 different times until I was happy with him. I did learn one thing while making him though, I hate painting eyes.

I though I'd throw in a group shot of everyone so far.

Well that does it for this post. I have a few more things in the works so I should have some new posts soon. See you next week, same bat time, same bat channel.

-Live long and prosper (gotta get ready for the UFOfest)
