DIG Copperhead
The DIG - Copperhead-18 is another one that got away. After making a MASSIVE purchase (for me, anyway) of an IRON MAN, I'm having a little buyer remorse after seeing that this figure is $200 and it has a custom style that would have gone well with my APEXPLORER. Less mainstream and more cool than IRON MAN, but without the tie to my childhood that IRON MAN holds. So...I guess I'm still ok with it. I guess. :)
The figure is a KENNYSWORK figure and has a fantastic, fantasy aspect to it. Very Jules Verne or steampunk. There are multiple versions of the figure, but it had a rather limited run, so the market wasn't flooded like 3A products of late. (With multiple repaints of the same figure coming on the daily. :) )
Grab it if you can find it! (And, ship it to me. Come on. Be a pal....) ;)
The DIG - Copperhead-18 Sixth Scale Figure features:
Copper helmet
Mesh Cutter
Pressure fish spear
Copper fake leg
Adjustable balanced regulator
Rebreathers
Chain-mail gloves
Copper bottom boot
Suction and Exhaust hose
Pressure suit
Metal detector and emergency air-supply (Mecha Pentapus)

Skeleton Mobile Suit
A fantastic exoskeleton figure from MGBB (http://www.mgbb2005.com/mgbbactionfigure/Home/Home.html) featured on the TOYBOT STUDIOS site.
http://www.toybotstudios.com/2011/09/custom-exoskeleton-16-scale-figure-by.html
First, I love the fact that there are obvious found objects on here. The boosters in back to be specific. (From MACROSS) They have always been fun and it's cool to see them used like this.
The figure also makes use of some other items from other figures and the painting and detailing locks them all together brilliantly. The cool, sci fi, clean look is great here. I've seen a lot of bashes that go for the post apocalyptic look and that's all fine and good, but the GHOST IN THE SHELL / Anime cool look works really well for this application. Spraying and painting everything to match is the way to go.
It really looks like some of the classic mobile suit gear as well. Flying power suits that give the wearer more fighting power. AND, there's NO SKIN INVOLVED! She's not wearing a friggin BIKINI under the suit with her breasts waving around in your face! :) While this may give a slight advantage when fighting someone who is easily distracted by the female form, it does NOTHING to protect. Always drove me bonkers seeing that done. Sure, I like the female form, but let's try to focus a bit and pick a genre to work within! heheheh
This is a grand effort from the maker and it looks amazing. It's really inspired me to do another custom kitbash. Maybe something to fight my IRON MAN figure! :)
I think the idea will be to use what i have around the house as the first round of idea items, then MAYBE buying something under $15 at a TOYS R US to round things out if I need something larger. This worked out really well for me PROJECT ROBO (http://www.flickr.com/photos/malcojojo/sets/72157623529074532/) - snagging a silly, kid robot and bashing it up to be a little more sci fi cool. :)
There is a complete breakdown of the process and parts for this figure located here:

Style in Scale
I was prowling around the InterWebs the other day and I stumbled across this amazing nugget. Style in Scale is a rather amazing blog where you can get some amazing scale furniture. Jennifer is doing some amazing work in scale. There are chairs and sinks and small kitchen items that show off some grand woodwork skills.
She does commission work and has an Etsy spot with additional info. Work passed on to customers is represented by some awesome customer photos posted on the site as well.
If you're a Fashion Doll person with a taste for the elegant, I highly suggest visiting Style in Scale and adding some of her pieces to your diorama!
