Kevin iz the coolest 12-tear-old I know :3 And he makes good figs. With good combos. And he's a pretty good painter who is getting better with every upload. But these figures are definitely some of my favorites from him. I love the vest and the mud/dirt/blood on the guy on the far right, and any fig with that face is already a win, so the sleeves and torso and legs are just the icing on the cake. And the fig on the far left is even better! The rolled up sleeves are great, the Halo SMG mod is very clean, and the paintjob on the legs is, too. Overall these figs are really cool. Great job, kevin!

CS:GO Factions

CS:GO Factions, a photo by [sM] SneakyPete on Flickr.

Danny (SneakyPete) has always made Great figures and mods from video games. He has mostly done Battlefield 3 stuff, but recently he has been doing some CounterStrike: Global Offensive, and DANG. His figs always look great, and these are no exception. The Use of CitizenBrick and EclipseGrafx parts are really cool, and the Tiny Tactical Vest mods look great. I love the far left two vests and figs and the far right fig, but I think the left fig on the right half of the photo looks a tad bit bland. But not in a bad way, it just doesn't look as packed with details as the other figs. Great job, either way. :)

Спецназ--Full Surpat Spetsnaz Fig

Спецназ--Full Surpat Spetsnaz Fig, a photo by Detroitika on Flickr.

Detroitika is one of my favorite sculptors and painters on flickr. Just look at the digital camo pattern on this fig. I haven't seen anyone do anything like it before or as small and detailed as this before. And the sculpting on the vest is incredible and very well detailed. The sculpting on the boots is very nice, and the balaclava looks great, too! And the shoulder patch is ridiculously cool. Detroitika also casts and sells some of his custom sculpted parts on flickr, and I really hope to buy some things from him in the near future.

LEGO SWAT Armory and Ready Room

LEGO SWAT Armory and Ready Room, a photo by LEGO Police Force on Flickr.

I have always wanted to make something like this, but never have enough bricks and I only order once every six months and usually end up getting thirty different things instead of thirty of one thing, so I could never make this happen. But luckily, someone else can and I can stare at this picture for a while. This is seriously awesome, though. The furniture and gear racks and storage systems are very well built and designed, and the build itself is somehow even better! :D The use of CitizenBrick tiles and Lego City tiles really adds a lot of detail to the furniture items, and the printed BrickForge SWAT gear is just plain awesome!

Lego Iron Man Hearbreaker Suit

Lego Iron Man Hearbreaker Suit, a photo by Tuminio on Flickr.

If you saw even part of a trailer for Iron Man 3 you probably know what this is. Even though it had a short amount of screen time, it is still one of my favorite suits that was in the movie, and Tuminio on flickr managed to make a perfect recreation of the suit in Lego form! He used armor made by Breakthrough Army that looks very detailed. I happen to own Iron Man and Iron Patriot painted armor sets by Breakthrough Army, and the only con I can see with them is that they are sculpted by Hazel. But, back on the topic of this awesome figure, the painting is flawless. The editing is great, too! :) But the stand is the icing on the cake, I know very few people that can make stands like that that look good.

TEST SHOT

TEST SHOT, a photo by Bowbrick on Flickr.

I love EclipseGrafx. and I love BrickMoc. And I love Bowbrick's figs. This figure combines all three of them in a flippin awesome way. Bowbrick has always made great figs, weather he customizes them or not, and this fig is no exception. The sleves go great with the vest and head, and the colors on the BrickMoc legs and EclipseGrafx head match perfectly. Great job, Bowbrick! :D

Young Marcus Fenix

Holy crud. This figure of Young Marcus Fenix from Gears of War by pecovam on flickr is flipping incredible. The painting and sculpting here is top notch. The decal application and design is great, as well. The kneepads are incredible and the arms are as well. But my favorite part of this (paint-job wise) is the bandanna. It looks awesome! :D And the armor is just incredibly detailed. I was nearly speechless by this and keep forgetting what I was going to type everytime I look back at the fig, so I'll just end the post before I say something stupid or random like this...

BF3 US Engineer

This is an awesome custom figure by Commander Wolffe on flickr of a US Engineer from Battlefield 3. Yes, I'm Captain Obvious. Yay. But anyway, this fig is great! The camo is incredible and very well done, the vest looks great, and those sleeves are awesome! The gloves look slightly messy, but it's better than anything I've ever done. (It's my blog, I can self-promote whenever I want to :3) The only thing that bugs me are the eyes and shotgun shells. I wish the shotgun shells were painted gold on the tops and I wish the eyes didn't stare into my soul. But, again, this is better than anything I've ever done.

I just got some BrickMoc prints at BBTB and I have to say, these things are incredible! :D The printing quality is great and the designs are awesome! They go great with EclipseGrafx parts, too :D

This is my blog. I get bored a lot and like to talk to myself, so I figured, "Lot's of other people like that have blogs, so why don't I make one?". Then I remembered how I have had 3 other blogs, 2 other websites, 1 vimeo account, and 1 alternate Flickr account that I abandoned. So this will probably have nothing posted on it for a while soon. Unless filters. Everyone on Flickr seems to get mad when I use pretty much every one of picmonkey's filters in one photo, so I've decided I'll post all of the stuff I make by messing around in picmonkey with to this blog. I might also blog some stuff if I'm really bored, but I'm home-schooled, so that means I'll definitely blog stuff. Hooray for free time! :D
