Custom figures and dioramas

New diorama - Koozebane

The idea for this whole diorama began with the five Merdlidops seen in the Dom Deluise episode. Once I had amassed enough Koozebane Kermit bases to detach five identical large Merdlidops, I started in the center by making these craters...

"Merdlidops!"

And then the rest of it kind of snowballed from there...

Dearth,
Amazing again. Your attention to detail is astounding.

Plus it's sorta modular...

The above shot shows the optional 'cave' mountain piece. You may also notice that there are more craters now... some of them are countersunk so that they can be hidden by the little movable 'hill' pieces.

The cave is loosely patterned on the one from the Mark Hamill episode, from which Dearth Nadir enters.

I also made some caves for the Koozebanians to inhabit... the two caves are actually linked by a low-ceilinged tunnel all the way through.

The large crater (for Dom Deluise) was scaled down... not even a female Nocturne Koozebanian can fit in it.

I was tempted to not even paint it, and just call it an 'arctic Koozebane' playset. This is what it looked like when it was just styrofoam and spackle, before the three coats of paint (solid black first, then the grey, then the white highlights).

If you don't mind my asking, how much do you charge for custom jobs?

I sent you an email, did you get it?

Dearth,
I love it! The amount of work and creativity you put into a project that anyone else wouldn't even come up with doing in the first place is astounding.

seriously, I'm going to run out of complimentary adjectives in this thread each time you post new pics.

Now I can connect the dots as to why you were asking for the landing gear photos of the swinetrek

Can't wait to see what's next

Oh if only they made the rest of the Koosbanians. You could have had a feild day.

Oh man! I LOVE LOVE LOVE your customs! I wish I had your talent and patience, my friend! I'm kinda in the middle of working on a Steppin' Out Scooter from the Movie Theater Usher Scooter figure. I'm trying to figure out something to do for a Steppin' Out style Piggy

What about this look?

You could probably achieve it with an EB variant of the Series One Piggy.

Slowly trying to piece together the Sesame Street Muppets in similar scales to the Palisades Muppet Show figures:

This was a crossover that did not end well...

Now we know why the gingerbread men didn't make more appearances on TMS.
