It also cuts the number of tiles required to cover a roof area, and reduces the thickness of the resulting roof. But requires a heckuvalot of jumper bricks! (I assume you've been buying in bulk?) I agree that the quarter-overlap looks much nicer (and more realistic) than the half-overlap seen on mo...

that is one of the mose awesome dragond of its size I'v yet to see. My favorite part has to be the horns on the side of the neck, mainly because I don't have any Viking horns at all. The head is very well shaped, and the back legs came out just great. The back feet could use some work, though... no ...

Those pieces look darn good together. I don't like the recurve so much, mainly because the horns don't come back far enough before the recurve, but it's a good idea nonetheless.

Man, I wish I'd bought one of those Count Dooku sets... they had those sandblue tri-shields too.

Screwdriver? what??? How does that make sense...? :shock: I can't figure out how either of you two attached the hats to these guys, but this half-gnome or whatever you decide it is looks pretty darned cool. I don't care for the hole in his hips, though... maybe you could find something to plug it wi...

Fry, you done it again. Using that trefoil design from the barding was a well-inspired stroke of genious, and it naturally goes perfectly with the lion symbol. These designs definitely increased my respect for the crusader line, though (like you) Black Falcons are still my faves. I kind of prefer th...

it would be funnier if he was, say, sitting at a table rolling a D20 while the skeleton was attacking him, but it kinda makes sense as it is. the only real problem is the poor lighting, i can't particularly make out any details.

Welcome to C-C, Pharazon! You certainly rank among the best customizers this hobby has. As everyone ahs said, your level of craftsmanship and attention to detail are simply amazing. Chopping up the elven helm was a great idea, and the shields, in my opinion, match their berers perfectly. Any plans t...

I've tried that before, but the ink always smudged, even when I set my printer on the lowest ink usage possible. the tape I used wasn't the best either... It's a good temporary alternative to waterslides, i.e to test that your idea works, but I'm not using it as anything permanent. Nice presentation...

Looks like I've found a new thing to attempt crafting out of styrene. This looks a lot better than the ones I've made (and seen made) out of sculpey. I don't think that the sword poking through the end is historical, though if this were a ninja-to and not a broadsword the 'tube' would be correct. Th...

This makes me even more disgusted that I never bought any Ninja sets. I agree that the whole setting seems very tranquil. I like all the little details. the stuff piled on the dock, the beacon lantern (who changes the candle?) the 1x1 rounds and 1x4x1 fences hanging from the ceiling. I've always lik...

Actually, I meant the stickers. I plan on buying a bunch of RB stuff as soon as finals are over, but I can use these awesome stickers right now, especially the one on the dwarf.

The silver looks simply awesome on all of those. Your prowess with paper continues to go unmatched. Everything matches the armor perfectly, and the faces you chose work pretty darn well, too. TTK is of course correct about the hoplite's chest. I still love the musculature, where are these availible?

Go into paint (or whatever you're using) open the bitmap, click File - Save as and the drop down menu under the filename should have the extention. change the extention from *.bmp to *.jpg and click save. You'll still have the original bitmaps and the new Jpegs. By the way, that particular cape temp...

I think the horn pieces might be too big, actually. I would try making a crown out of styrene and supergluing it around the edge. The shape is just about perfect. Sadly, I haven't had much sucess with gluing styrene to ABS... Off topic: I like that MB axe. It's one of the few weapons they have that ...
