Custom Bleach Playarts Vasto Lorde Ichigo figure.

Hello Everyone!Here is one of my first custom figures. This is actually one of two prototypes. The final production version will more than likely feature color cast hair as opposed to being painted. The horns are held in place by brass rods for structural integrity so as they just wont snap off. each end of the rod is embedded roughly a quarter of an inch on each end. If any of your went to AX this year, you probably saw both versions of this figure in the art Show next to a MG RX-93-2 Hi nu Gundam (Also mine)

I sculpted the master for this piece using portions of the original Hollow mask of the ichigo figure, and a resin cast of Tsuruya's hair. I initially just wanted to produce one for my self but when a buddy of mine asked me to make one for him, i decided to make molds so as i can make multiples. Anyhoo, this particular variation of the figure also features painted skin to reflect ichigo's hollow transformation.

Comments and crits welcome.

1/100 RX-93-2 Hi Nu Gundam MG B-Club Conversion - the only Hi Nu that matters

Greetings all, I have finally finished my dream kit: the 1/100 Hi-Nu Gundam conversion by b-club. I’ve been wanting this thing since it first came out back in the day (2001-2002i think). Not as mod intensive as my 1/100 00-Raiser, but a fun kit none the less. Instead of using the resin face, I decided to keep the face plate of the original MG Nu Gundam. The head of the kit originally had empty spaces for vents, so I decided to take some of the extra verniers from the recast kit and sand them down to fit into said spaces. I used transparent plastic for the lense on the forehead, and a little putty to bulk up the chest. The head and rifle are re-casts, and the rest of the resin parts are originals.

Completed Model: Saber: Gentle Breeze (fate stay night)

This here is my 2nd attempt at a figure kit. The eyes were decals that were supplied with the kit so i cant really take credit for them ^_^. This kit was a fairly easy build. One of very few saber figures out there with her hair down, this kit is truly a unique piece. As this kit did come with a second set of hair attachments, i decided to implement a magnetic mounting system that allows for one to change from the signature bun type hair style to the kits unique flowing hair.

Last Airbender Trailer #2

I've never really been a hardcore Avatar: The Last Airbender fan, but I did find the series enjoyable. That being said, I'm looking forward to the movie, with some reservations. The first being the source material itself. Being a kids show, you cant get too heavy handed or dark with the film, but the trailer seems to make it to be just that. The series relied heavily on comic relief, so I'm not terribly sure how that's going to play into things here. my second concern is the director. I have very mixed feelings about Shamylan. Ive associated his work as of late with craptacular and incredibly anticlimactic endings...but hey, its kid's film so I'm willing to let alot of that crap slide. Anyhoo, onto the reason for this post: the 2nd trailer has been released and the visuals look promising. let's forget for a minute that all the actors save for the water tribe folks ought to be Chinese yeah?
