this guy has some cool steampunk stuff, but he also does a lot of nifty custom figures. i'd post this elsewhere, but meh...

Cool stuff! For the most part, I can't figure out what he used, which is cool. Chewie's head is a very heavily customized Beast figure from the last ToyBiz X-Men line, and I think Luke's head may be Cannonball. Other than that, no clue.

Definitely some nice work.

you should check out his snake eyes...

click around, lots of cool stuff, like the "star wars 1942" and "gaslight justice league" and "victorian avengers"...

That makes me jealous that people can do that level of work. If I had that talent, I would have EVERY Marvel super hero and villain ever, and a good portion of the entire GIJoe line in 6" proportions.

The first Sigma Six Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, and Cobra Commander aren't perfect, but they're quite nice.

They had an article about "steampunk" in the NY Times yesterday. I started thinking about how long that stuff has really been around and how many movies down though the years have riffed on it.

yeah, it's been around since the early 80's at least, but it seems to be reaching a rather large adherent group now... another friend told me he was getting into it and i was like "that's still around?"
