Custom Speed Bike / Swoop
 

Here's the first Star Wars custom I made today. Also pictured is another custom coat for a Rebel Trooper. Actually it's for the Star Wars comic story I'm working that is taking place after Revenge of the Sith. This is my version of the Rebel Alliance during the early years.

Did you know that Rebel Trooper's head is sculpted after a Hasbro employee, whose face was also put on the original Heavy Duty back in 1991.

I'm not much of a Star Wars fan but I must say that Speeder Bike is the best use for that original Ninja Lightning bike I've ever seen.

Cool I didn't know that about the Rebel Trooper. Thanks for the comment about the speeder bike. The Ninja Lighting bike was broken beyond repair. I'm glad now I didn't throw it out.

I have that rebel. Nice cloak! Just one, thing change his gun!!!!

I plan on it just haven't decided to what yet. I need some that is going to match the era the story is taking place in.

Nice swoop bike Blowtorch

Give him some kinda small blaster or carbine like boba fets gun. Oh wait! He could use a stolen E-11 blaster!

I thought about the stolen E-11, but I'm more looking at the early years of the Rebel Alliance. I may just stick with what he has now only because he's only in a few panels. My other option is that the Alliance uses watever weapons they can gather.

Thats cool.

That would be very reasonable. You could read some Clone Wars Adventures comics to get some inspiration. They are really, really nice to read.

I send my Republic Commando Delta Squad to a planet where the Separatist where developing some "new weponary". Cobra BATs became new advanced droids and the Marauder marine pulse rifle is now a "new prototype weapon". And my Scorch fig is using one, since his weapon run out of ammo.

I would like if you keep me updated with your dio. It's a great idea for a SW dio. Maybe Mom Motha and Bail Organa can show up, since those 2 senators helped to build the Rebel Alliance.

You won't see the swoop in the one I'm working on now, but I'm sure everyone will enjoy it . Mon Motha and Bail Organa won't be in this dio, but it's a great idea for something else down the line.

Blowtorch! Holy cow, that speeder bike rocks! My imagination is light years behind that! I do like your thought pattern that must have been behind it:

Your pattern of reasoning:
This toy (Ninja Lightning) is broken. What can I do with the parts to make an even cooler new toy?

My usual pattern:
NOOOOOOOOOO! This can't be broken. NOOOOOOOOO! Then later... Maybe I can fix this with epoxy or some type of adhesive. Then eventually sliding it over to a corner of my workbench with more broken parts, under the rationale that I will age them into props or backgrounds for a dio that may or may never happen.

Well done and way to integrate that Bazooka/plasma cannon weapon (yes I know that's not the technical term for it) onto the side of your speeder.

Nice Swoop Biker When is this story coming out?
I can't wait

:eek: Holy crap, thats awesome. Good job on that swoop. How did you make the coat?

I don't think that you are going to get a response from Allen seeing as he was banned last week.

Is it temporary or perment ?
Or will this end up being unanswered by the Mods.

I believe that it is permanent. You could email he though.

I just did, he doesn't know if it's permanent or not because no one will return his emails ( I believe it was to the Admin ) and General Scarlett has no clue either. I read some of his past post looks like he gave away some major Joe stuff for free. So I'm :confused: why he can't get an answer back. I guess the powers to be don't want him here.

Ok, I'm really getting tired of being people's whipping post. As I stated to Blowtorch, I DO NOT know why he was banned, he would have to ask the other 'powers that be' -yes, oddly there are others (I seem to be the only one who gets shiat on by members of this site, even though I'm the only one who's 'minding the shop' and leaving all of you alone to do and say what you want, for the most part)- I have sent correspondances to those others and am awaiting a response............


Thank you

I'm sorry if you thought I was (as you put it) shiating on you. Blowtorch actually thinks highly of you, aside from what you think. You take alot of pride and ownership where it seems to lack. It's the nature of the beast when you're as active as you are to be the "whipping post" You should be commended. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Drive on General Scarlett continue doing the great job you do even though you probably don't get the prise you should.

I normally don't get into these things, but it's kinda of a lousy thing for the other "mods" to sit in silence while you (GS) are going above and beyond with this site and taking heat when it comes. Awesome job as a mod, and if you haven't heard this before Thank You for doing such a great job.

i agree, GS you do a wonderful job :D

Uh, yeah...he gave away some major stuff for free. He adverstised he was giving it away, asked who wanted it, asked who thought they deserved it......then after everyone gave him their input, he came off all high and mighty saying "See how I'm everyone's friend when I have free stuff !!!"

He acted like everyone on this site hated him because he didn't recieve like 50 responses for every pic he took. He chastised those of us who are friends and comment on each others work like we are a "Clique" that had black balled him. He tried to turn this site into a popularity contest.

I asked Graham (Sonnelion) and this was his Reply as to why he banned Allen;

"Part of it had to do with that set-building thread. The lil sniping and whining in the thread. I told him to stop sniping GS and he was like NO. "

When an Admin tells you to do something, you have the RIGHT to say no...but you accept the responsibility that you could be banned!

Allen had some great talents.....people skills and socialization were not some of them!

I didn't knew he was banned, but I can't say that I'm sad.

What no one knows about is that some members had PMed him and offered bribes to get some of those free items. I wonder if any of them are going to step up. Has anyone else ever offered to give away hard to find items for free. Someone who lacks "people skills" would they do this: http://www.joebattlelines.com/forum...pic.php?t=14277 I saw it this morning and didn't really think anything of it until now. Seems out of character if they lack "people skills" Just my two cents.


You're all heart ;) I take it you weren't one of the winners.

I dunno? Has anyone else ever offered to give away hard to find items for free? Quit worrying about a guy most of us are GLAD is gone and ask around.....

Bravo? Has anyone given you something hard to find for free?
Lord Raven?
ToneGuns?
JJsVipers?
General Scarlett?
Jay?
TunnelRat?
Anybody? Anyone?

Free? Hmmmm.....more like at the expense of acting like his pompous @$$ was better than everyone else here! He could have offered a USS Flagg, a V1 Pimp Daddy Destro and a defiant Shuttle complex to me for free and if he had acted like that to the other members of this forum, I'd have told him where he could shove them!

Uh, yeah. A real guy would have done like the Tao says.....
"He accomplishes his task, but does not dwell upon it"

BlowTorch could never just do good for the sake of doing good....he had to be praised for everything. Were he really "All Dat" he would have just been generous and shut up about it. He HAD to TELL EVERYONE how gracious and giving he is/was. I tell people I give stuff away, but I don't go into detail about what or to who. They wanna know, they can ask around...I do it so people will know I'm a straight shooter,I'm honest, NOT so people will praise and Exault me!

And I HIGHLY doubt anyone offered to bribe him (except maybe the troll aka nightcreeper) because Blowtorch was so high on his own moral superiority he would have called them out. He wasn't above acting superior and trying to shame other forum members who he was jealous of....or wanted to be like....or wanted to date....I dunno what his problem was with a lot of us. He acted like a pompous @$$ and then got mad when no one wanted to be his friend and talk to him! I honestly think he had some sort of social affective disorder! I think he needed therapy.

He had this juvenile need to be not only accepted, but worshipped, and if you didn't do it, he acted like you were slime. I forgot to thank him once for something extra he sent me (I got a Ton of stuff the same day and it all got mixed in together..and I was busy that week...I have a thousand reasons why I forgot, but not a good excuse) But rather than be cool and say "Hey, did you get that extra stuff I sent ya", he drug me out in the forums and acted all high and mighty like he was the fricken ettiquite Police! He was the main reason I left here for a while. I had no intention on coming back, but friends told me "Don't let the bastiches get you down"....and I didn't! I took a hiatus, collected my thoughts and returned!

You're right Luis didn't win that stuff. If you're so interested in BlowTorch and been reading his posts and KNOW him, you should know that OF ALL Things! Luis hated him and unlike most of us on here who couldn't stand him, and just Tolerated him, LUIS would let him know in no uncertain terms. No one here liked the guy, we just tolerated him. What your intrest in him is escapes my logic. unless you're him. If you're not drop it, let this thread, and his memory die and good riddance to whiners IMHO!

I guess there a few people here with BIG EGOS. As far as bribes goes it was more than the troll (that you stated many times you hooked up talk about praise :rolleyes: ) but believe what you want. Your opinion does really matter. FYI I'm not him but again you can think what you want. After all you're the "Top Dog" here :rolleyes:

For someone new...and NOT him....you certainly KNOW a lot about people you just "met" and you talk just like HIM!

And who cares if someone tried to bribe him...you offer top quality stuff, you honestly think people won't try hard to get it?

General Scarlett...

Lock this post before I frakkin lose it and get myself banned..PLEASE!!!

Please the Giant Ego is unbearable.
They won't bann you, you hook everyone up.

I did a little reseach you know getting everyone's take and well I know where you stand.

Allen, Allen....I know it's you now...Jealousy getting the best of you?

It hurts when you're moral superiority and rightousness can't keep you from getting banned.....

maybe you should have hooked everyone up and shut your mouth instead of playing "Right Police"

Wanna play "Who Likes Me"? on here with me again? Wanna put money on who's gonna win.

I tried to be nice and just let your whining go.....but I'm tired of holding my tongue. You got under my skin the last time so bad I had to leave....I was afraid I'd get banned for telling you what I thought of you!

Not this time! I'll show you I can be as arrogant and pig headed as you at the end of the day...but in the end......who's still gonna not have any friends.....and who is still not gonna be respected on here?

Maybe someday you'll realize that it's not about what you give away or offer people, it's about caring about them and helping them out and not wanting ANYTHING in return!

Wow I think you've lost it.
I joined Aug 10 before Allen Blowtorch was bann. He was bann last week (instead of shooting you mouth off maybe check your facts first it was stated earlier in the post.) Now with that said I'll be the bigger man here and walk away from this before my IQ drops to your level.

Whatever.....

You're right....I did lower myself in this.
But I'll get over it.
Sooooooo...what is your obsession with BlowTorch?

Misfits, could you PLEASE stop trolling the boards? It seems like everything you've done thus far after joining is go after people for no reason... :mad:

That's all that needs to be said. How sweet it would be if this attitude was common, rather than rare. Frank, you have a way of hitting the nail right on the head. I dips me lid.

Yup, Frank doesn't miss and hit the wall thats for sure! :D

I am finding this all a little disturbing though. Misfits seems to know lots about what has gone on and know plenty about Blowtorch... The link to a thread on Joebattlelines too... He's even done research? I have many questions...

What is going on here? Why the popularity contest?

Do you think you are going to get the mods ban ruling over turned if you get some people behind you? Considering what he did with the give away thread, I think you may have trouble there...

I know for a fact thats never going to happen...

So please enlighten us? Why spend so much time and go to so much effort on such a pointless lost cause?

By the way you should maybe leave this site in favour of one of those more user friendly ones you were on about in another post? Yeah... Go stir up some crap else where...

D :mad:

Can't we...Be nice...
 

Can't we just..... :confused: Be nice to one another.. *hugs* :p

All this fighting.. you'd of thought military scale toys would have us chilled out.. it's like they bring out our hostile streak!! :eek:

So from here on in.. lets be subtly kind to one another and live in a joe utopia.. :o
Rich

A Joetopia... Aye... That will be shining bright! :eek:

D :D

I knew it!!
 

Ach! Ya seen it tae? .. you see i knew it exists.. :D

Ye need tae brush up on yer Glesga rhyming slang bro... I wonder whut shining bright could mean? :p

D :D
