  1. A little but not much. Life and illness have slowed me down. I'm hoping to pick it back up in the next week or so.
  2. Received the MEPToys Invid scout over the weekend. I was very pleasantly surprised. It does have some loose fit joints as MEP indicated but they were no where as loose as I was expecting. Just use a little of your favorite joint filler (kiki, glue, nail polish, etc...) and they are good to go. Such a fun piece, and great price, I immediately went out and ordered another so I can have one in each mode.
  3. Thanks! Yeah I figured a ride/space armor should have more of a leather/rubber rather than fabric suit. This one I am pretty sure is vinyl with fabric backing. It fits perfectly on the base body (if I didn't know better I would think it was made for it) and I am pleasantly surprised by how thin and flexible it is. I thought it would hinder articulation and was willing to make the sacrifice for the appearance but no sacrifice needed. I have no idea what the longevity of the material will be but I doubt replacements will be hard to come by. Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/294917757024
  4. Finally got the body suit in. I'm still waiting on some upgrade parts so I'm in a bit of a holding pattern. Hopefully I won't have to wait too long as I have been having a lot of fun on this project.
  5. I have decided to go with a heavily weathered and worn scheme with this figure. End of a long road sort of vibe. To that end I have started on the base metal that will be seen through all of the paint chipping. I've been binging the RoboCop TV series on Amazon so was inspired to try my hand at a simplified version of his armor scheme (only purple and blue; no green and pink). I didn't want to go all out since it will barely be seen in the end. The bicep and thigh armor are done, As a comparison, the chest is the bare metal color before the filter colors were added. I'm not super happy with the brand I used for the purple paint. The color is fine but it was pretty much impossible to get it to blend smoothly. If I wasn't going to be covering it all up I would have redone it with my normal brand.
  6. Wasteland companion perk unlocked! Still waiting on those road leathers.
  7. I totally understand. I figured the bike, even if it was solid, would be a long shot anyway. Having this in hand now it's just too good not to have something to accompany it. I'll keep my hopes up that a female rider may come to light some day. In the meantime maybe I'll try to scratch build some of the cycle cargo containers , supplies, and weapons. I've got your 1/12 set that I can use for inspiration :).
  8. Aww man that sucks. So I assume the odds of a companion piece like a bike or female rider are also zero?
  9. I knew I recognized it! It was bugging me trying to figure it out. I thought it looked like that guy from Uncharted. Guess I was wrong though 😉
  10. Did some basic skin texturing. I really wasn't expecting this detailed of a sculpt. It was a very nice surprise. @captain americais this a recast or did you sculpt it? If you sculpted it my list of wish items from you is going to grow quite a bit.
  11. It's here! It's here! Happy valentine's day to me. I've been on a 1/6 kick lately so this came at the perfect time. Still waiting on the body suit delivery but at least I already have the MX-02 base body. Off to go do a happy dance before I get to work on this bad boy.
  12. And so it has begun... I've replaced all of the joints except in the waist and knees. It will also be able to be displayed with the chest open or closed. I will just have to pop in the cockpit when I want it open and take it out when I want it closed.
  13. 👍 No issues here with the update. Thanks for looking out for us and the site.
  14. There's muh boy blue! Looking awesome as expected. It will definitely be the version I am going to build.
