    That thread never took off. Unfortunate, but it was a good idea.
    Let's keep this one official, as we're in the official area.
    I'll add a few:

    For cost-effective sake, I think I'm gonna attempt one of those with siege shockwave.

    Lovely shots! That Shockwave cover display is very awesome. Really well done :thumb 

    Cheers for the link!

    Yes indeed, i've been doing cover recreations for a good few years now. It's mainly been the UK TF Comic but there's been a few of the US ones too.
    Think i've done somewhere around 150-160 now. I'd put together a compilation book of them last year that collected the first 100 or so of them plus other comic photoshop related stuff i'd created.

    Here's a link to an article on my website that explains a bit about it: Trapped In Polyhex - Making a Book

    Here's a selection of some of the images. I've used a lot of 3P figures but as this is the Official Toy Discussion forum i've tried to only include Official Has/Tak figures in the images below.

    Issue 1 - US

    I always enjoy seeing your work.

    Looking at those pics, I'm curious would you ever consider a panel by panel recreation of comic strip from one of the old comic book issues, preferably some of the American strips as it would be nice to see some of them recreated with your skills and proper colours?

    Retcon the title for some panels, so here are some panels from my favorite issue of all time.

    Saw the thread. Saw you rock up. Suddenly heard 'Junkyard' by The Birthday Party playing in my head ("I AM THE KIIIIIIIING").

    My own humble contributions. TF:UK Flavour. Only real heads know.
