Sideshow 12" Cobra Trooper (+custom sniper & firefly)

[Malcolm Orr]

Great pics Ross. With firefly, just paint the material for camo

f*ck that Ross mate - I know it didn't win but yours was an awesome custom, and deserved to win. As is always the case with competitions like this there'll have been politics at play - friends of friends and the like. These things never boil down to a straight forward "whose is best" contest.

Your customs are awesome - they look like shop bought originals, if not cooler. Seems to be the case whether you're working with 12 inch, 3 3/4 inch or your marvel stuff. I consider you and Malcolm Orr to b. The most talented all round customiser/toy makers I've "met" (well, and andy too!) and to give that up just cos of that one contest would be criminal mate!

[The Baron]

Hear hear. You've not even tried to win the prestigious BFTB Custom of the Month yet, partly your idea as I recall!

[SteveD]

You not get my memo on that baron? We banned Ross. And Malcolm. And andy. It's only fair in the circumstances. Gives cack handed buffoons like me a chance!! In fact, i think you should ban all previous winners from entering, until I manage to win one. Then reopened it to everyone??

[Ross SC]

cheers guys, to be honest i dont really feel like a lot of my stuff really belongs on here so im always in 2 minds what to enter!
finished (almost!) my hydrofoil.
i after suggestion about customising one of my 12" cobra troopers, not too much just making him more specialised.......
any suggestions? im not really talking a custom, just an upgrade of equipment! wanna get some nice outdoor shots of these guys, got a trade on the go that might help me sort out a 12" flint (if i can find a black beret!) & a half decent snake eyes.......... wanna make him with removable mask & f*cked up face!

Some of us have tried to win but the lack of any votes seems to impede that.

[Ross SC]

so far ironblood is the only one to have any suggestions for my cobra trooper........

[Squad Leader]

very surprised that you didn't win mate honestly thought you had it in the bag!
would love to see any of your creations as you are a very talented individual so just post them in the Miscellaneous section and im sure the rest of the BFTB massive would love to see them too!

art is to be shared remember so keep 'em coming
