Re: What's on your workbench?
Lets see.....Im a few issues short of starting my Deago Falcon. I have a Slave 1 missing some wings (toy conversion), Hasbro toy conversion Snowspeeder, I bought a Fettpride kit for a song here and finishing my Walmart 29' Falcon with resin parts. Oh, I finnally got some shrouds to finish off my 4th Pulse Rifle. Crap, I forgot.....I also have a Miami vice Bren Ten and an Occilatio Overthruster kit somewhere.

Re: What's on your workbench?
Not just junk. For a change, I am actually building something.
These are not screen accurate because this is a $0.00 budget build and I am simply using what materials I have on hand.
Material is 16mm MDF. Details have been cut in by hand with a rotary tool.
Element Stones from The Fifth Element.
These are not screen accurate because the angle is 45/90/45 instead of 60/60/60. The MDF was part of jig I made up for cutting PVC pipe. It had been sitting in the corner of the work shop for the last 3 years and so I decided to recycle.

Re: What's on your workbench?
A Phase II clone trooper helmet. I don't know how did the original cast, but damn, this thing is warped has a heap of surface dents from air bubbles and a heap of snot inside the mics on the front. The whole surface also appears to be crazy cracked.
So I spent a few hours today modding it.
I started by slushing some D65 inside the thing to thicken the walls.
I also mixed some cabisol in the D65 to make a putty that I could smear on the "flat spots" on the outside so I could reshape them to make them round.
I used the finest dremil bit I had to cut out the snot around the mics. They came better than I hoped
Some of the finer details on the greeblies have been lost during the cast, so I will have to see if I can make new versions, mold, cast then chop out the bad parts and replace them with the new parts. Will see how that pans out.

Yeah if I had a dollar for every bondage-related comment about my build... Lol

Finishing up a solos hold V2 with metal crystal chamber. Then converting a Romans graflex to ANH with another metal crystal chamber. 2 MPP 2.0's in the mail that'll get set up as static for now.

Awesome, I keep meaning to have a go at this, I used to have a template for it but it seems to have disappeared :-(

I can't believe you found this on trade me, that's incredible.

Re: What's on your workbench?
My recent one-day build.
Started with a pretty good resin cast I bought on E-Bay.
I drilled out the "bulb" portion of the casting and inserted a real automotive bulb.
Then using a mix of spray paint, acrylics and Rub N Buff to finish it. Not a bad attempt at an ANH Han version of the droid caller.
Cheers

Re: What's on your workbench?
Here is what I'm working on - a paper craft Jack Sparrow Compass from here: http://www.disneyexperience.com/models/compass_model.php.
I've heard this one isn't too bad for the dimensions. I'm trying to work out how much electronics I can fit in the box...

Re: What's on your workbench?
Right now I'm tinkering with three of these:
And I've made quite a bit of progress on my Fallout power armor. Here's the lower right leg:
I've also carved out the chest, thighs, lower left leg, butt, codpiece, and the arms:
To keep me busy in my free time, I finally started painting up this thing:
Which will look great once I get the red anodized look right and install this bit:
I've also started cutting and printing parts for the Ironman 2 version of War Machine. Here's the lower right leg:
On the cleaner, quieter side of my builds, I've been sculpting out the Wolf Helm of Russ, a relic from the Warhammer 40K universe:
Finally, I'm putting the last few finishing touches on some of these guys:
They tend to look pretty good once they're all assembled:
Soon I hope to be getting back to work on my Captain Phasma build as well as the Flametrooper and a couple of HALO things.
So that's a bit.
