I'm actually starting to customize one of my extra super-articulated clone figures into a phase II GM. So whichever paint scheme comes out on top, I'm going to apply it to the figure! So far, what you see here is the beginnings of the ammo bandolier and the ammo arm strap. All the sculpted parts to this custom figure are being made out of plumber's putty. What you see right now is the straps just roughed out. Once they are fully cured, I'll be sanding them smooth and into uniform widths. Then I'll be sculpting on the ammo clips in the same fashion, but I wanted to them separate so that I can make them and the strap look right. I also plan on sculpting a GM backpack, and sacrificing the antenna attachment for the backpack attachment point (that way the pack is removable). EDIT: I've smoothed out the straps and made them, more or less, uniform in width. I also fixed the upside down belt.

Well I PMed you about how to do it, but I'll post it here as well:
First, upload your pics to a website (a personal website, or photobucket or something). Then find the hyperlink or the path to that image ("http://website.com/image.jpg").
Now above the text box that you type your replies in is an "Add Tags" section with an array of buttons. On the second row, the fourth button in has a little photo on it. Click it, and the "IMG" tags will appear within the text box like this:
<img></img> (only the arrows <> will be replaced with brackets [])
In between the two, place the link to your photo, like this:
<img>http://website.com/image.jpg</img>
Then submit your reply. If it doesn't work, just put the links to the photos in the reply, and I can go in and fix it manually.

I saw your stuff on CTN with the future GMs. I really liked the TK look! Whatever it is you're doing to the image, it's making the armor look super glossy. Certainly different from the normal red TKs we see. Now, we need to outfit those future TK/GMs with some unique gear to separate them from the rest of the TKs. I really love the deep metallic look to this!

Here's some more progress on my Phase II Marine figure. I got all the ammo boxes sculpted out and attached, and I'm starting to make the backpack. This is the second GM backpack I will have made, ever. Only this one is itty bitty.

what i originally did was using photoshop i changed the colour from white to maroon. Then took the phase 2 bucket i matched the colour, but when u use the magic wand it comes out in that metallic shine as well.
